Obama buys half-hour of network primetime



Link

Barack Obama has purchased a half-hour of airtime on CBS, sources confirm.

The Obama campaign will air a half-hour primetime special on Wednesday, Oct. 29, at 8 p.m.

Sources say the Obama camp is also in talks with NBC and Fox. NBC is said to be very near a deal. With Fox, the matter is likely to remain uncertain as the time period could conflict with Game 6 of the World Series.

A CBS spokesperson declined comment. The buy will push comedy "The New Adventures of Old Christine" to 8:30 p.m. and pre-empt "Gary Unmarried." The buy is being placed by Washington-based ad firm GMMB.


Interesting, I wonder how this strategy is going to play? I wonder what the program will consist of, a town hall format perhaps?

It's nice to know that some of this is probably being paid for illegally since he won't come forward with whom has donated almost half of his campaign dollars.

Cool. It should be interesting to see what he has to say. I think it's a very smart move. As the article says, candidates used to do this to address the nation.

You know, I don't agree with Sean Hannity but I watched his interview with Sarah Palin. I watched his "special" on Sunday night about Obama and his nefarious affiliations, and I watched his interview with McCain and Palin last evening.

Maybe i'm out of line but I feel a lot more confident when I give both sides their time.

I'll look forward to seeing Obama's half hour special, whatever it's about because it's more information for me to make an educated vote. I'm not sticking my head in the sand this season, no thank you, and I can't respect anyone who is "too good" to see for themselves what the other side thinks.
