High Tide Airtime - Planning Schedule Now

[AdamT]

Right now we've raised about $6,500 to spend airing The High Tide (http://hightidepromo.com/) in Philly. Donate here (http://alcpac.chipin.com/the-high-tide-airtime) to bump up our total. Here are the rates (http://www.alcpac.com/docs/Comcast_Rates_2.7.08_philly.xls) & the coverage map (http://www.alcpac.com/docs/Comcast_interconnect.pdf) (1.8 million homes).

Here's what I put together today. (Excel file here (http://www.alcpac.com/docs/pa_ad_buy.xls)) These would be spread out over April 16-22nd. (22nd is the PA election)

The prime time 7p-12am slot is the most expensive. Input/comments/suggestions appreciated.

My only suggestions are that you stick with SciFi, MTv and maybe the Comedy Channel.

[kirkblitz]

how many runs is that in the time frame? 1 run?

[syborius]

great job, wish this was done about 5 months ago by the grassroots. We could have used oh I don't know...say 6 million or so for commercials all over the early primaries.
:::: shakes head::::

[slacker921]

sprinkle a few cheap slots in too.. don't overload on the big slots.
HDLN (headline news) 6a-9a = $20
9a-4p = $20
E 9a-4p $40
CMDY 9a-4p $30

[bucfish]

Do not forget the Weather Channel cheap and everybody watches it at some point or another

[kirkblitz]

lol the weather channel is probably the most popular channel in the world, even though their elevator music sucks.

[AdamT]

how many runs is that in the time frame? 1 run?

Yes 1 run. When you're going into 1.8 million homes in a large metropolitan area it becomes very expensive. If you check out the rate card you'll see just how ridiculous it can get. $2200 for 1 run on Faux prime time.......and we won't be doing any of those with our budget.

[AdamT]

Do not forget the Weather Channel cheap and everybody watches it at some point or another

Yeah actually I forgot to work some of those in. I couldn't decide on a time slot. Suggestions?

Might as well I suppose. It would be helpful if we had another grand or two :)

The Weather Channel early morning is the Best time for it.

[tajitj]

You guys are freakin awesome. That looks like a perfect buy schedule.

I really hope people get the word out about the video today at the rallies.

I'd stick with comedy central, History, and scifi.

If we get around $7,000, think about TWC, ESPN, or maybe even the local affiliate of a major network.

bump - ad needs more money

[-lotus-]

once this actually gets on the air, if someone could youtube it playing that would be sweet, like on a tv..from a cell phone camera or something :D

[Patriotica]

This is a closed primary. What does the target audience watch in Penn?

History channel and Sci-Fi PT is a must. Nice job on the list.

Has anybody been to Daily Paul lately? I saw couple comments like "I'd donate if I knew what their goal was." I think if you let people know it's crunch time, they might respond.

[d03boy]

Seen the Subway commercial? Repetition is key! Go for the middle-cost commercials that play at regular hours on ...decent... stations.

[AdamT]

We just got a large $500 donation which will help a lot. I'll post an updated schedule in a bit taking into account suggestions here.

[Gtex]

What about Cartoon Network?

Personally, the Adult Swim time slot, starts at 10pm CST ... but I would think it would be neat on there at anytime.

Ha ha that's a $4000 spot.....I wish.

[DirtMcGirt]

History channel past 7pm is my only suggestion... let us know when you have them locked in...
nice work!!!

[Jeremy]

Don't do MTV. Most people who watch MTV won't be voting. Besides, the times there are when most people don't watch it.

I'd definitely still say no to MTV. Most people who watch MTV are younger girls... they wouldn't care or understand.

[DeadtoSin]

If it turns out that the MTV thing is the only real thing left within the price range, I'd go for it. If you can spend that 180 dollars in anything else, I think it would be a better use..

[Jeremy]

It's still a waste of money though............................ most 15 year old girls don't vote. O.o

[AdamT]

IMO I would rather skip MTV altogether. We could put that $360 somewhere else where viewers actually vote. I agree with stormcommander.

[MikeSmith]

I forgot to ask, are these the rates for political ads? You might be able to get a discount.

[MikeSmith]

Well, it's not that important, but MTV probably does have a different audience than the other channels you selected, granted most are younger and don't/can't vote.

[I Am Weasel]

Discovery Channel? TLC?

[Jeremy]

Well, it's not that important, but MTV probably does have a different audience than the other channels you selected, granted most are younger and don't/can't vote.

We shouldn't throw it around as much as possible though. Instead, let's make logical choices =)

[tajitj]

I tend to agree on the MTV because it seems like they play alot of American Next Top Model lat night. I does depend on what is playing. I would maybe go more CNBC. Dr. Paul is getting alot of love from financial types.

[rockandrollsouls]

Rather than donate to the campaign, we all should have probably bought ad spots. Think about it....a flood of Ron Paul on tv

[Jeremy]

It doesn't depend on what they're playing really. Have you ever watched it? How much do you want to bet that close to no Republican voters watch MTV? =)

[MikeSmith]

If there are any people with money left on these forums, 5k would go a long way here.

[slacker921]

Rather than donate to the campaign, we all should have probably bought ad spots. Think about it....a flood of Ron Paul on tv

I wonder what would have happened if grassroots had gathered up about 5 million and dumped it into TV ads in Iowa and NH.. hmm.. we'll never know. .... but.. . if we gather up a big wad of cash and air this ad in PA we'll know.

so go here and donate.. http://alcpac.chipin.com/the-high-tide-airtime

[slacker921]

Is anyone watching those channels at that time? I assume it's cheap for a reason.

Might as well I suppose. It would be helpful if we had another grand or two :)

yes.. I don't watch most of the channels you've picked, so if I were in Philly I probably wouldn't see the ad. And yes, as you get more money you can spread the ad around to different channels and times.

Also, can you split the market up? I looked into ads in Charlotte and I found that I could totally saturate several smaller counties for $5k a week but the same $5k would only last a couple of days of sparse coverage for the entire region (and probably not be very effective). I thought it might be interesting to saturate a few counties with ads and get people to canvas those counties and see what happens.

Ditch the ads on MTV..

[Highland]

bump

[AdamT]

I forgot to ask, are these the rates for political ads? You might be able to get a discount.

Yes these are the political rates, and there is no discount available to us. If the official campaign had bought spots, they get pretty much a 40% discount since it's the candidate buying the time. But since we're a PAC, no discount. :(

[AdamT]

If there are no objections then I'm gonna axe MTV, which frees up $360. Where to stick that?

Edit - the ChipIn is still open for anyone to contribute to the Philly ad buy! I'm gonna finalize everything over the weekend & Monday. So there still time to get more spots.

http://alcpac.chipin.com/the-high-tide-airtime

[Jeremy]

Maybe there's a show or event that's watched by a lot of people that we might want it to play during?

But I'd say Fox News... I mean who cares if we all hate it... Republicans still watch it.

[TruthAtLast]

damn.

God forbid the campaign actually use their leverage to help a Grassroots project that benefits Ron Paul and the Freedom Movement.

** sorry, just frustrating **

[Dequeant]

I'm slightly disappointed to not see it air at least a few times on the history channel.

We seem to be targeting the youth vote, and while that is a good thing for the future....it doesn't do us much good right now. People who watch the history channel tend to be slightly older and more patriotic.....which is perfect.

[Jeremy]

I do watch the history channel too. But by the way... while a lot of older people watch the History Channel, a lot of teenage males watch it as well (which I wonder if even THEY know about). Well maybe that's killing two birds with one stone?

Great work. Looks good to me. And for what its worth, I would like to object to removing MTV. I think that's a good audience for us and for this ad in particular.

Either way, great work.

I've been debating Faux. Damn I hate those SOBs, but if we could scrounge up another $1K we could run one 4-7pm. Prime time 7pm-12am would cost $2200 (ouch!).

one ad view isn't going to have much effect.. "A rule of thumb is that it takes at least five to seven repetitions of a spot for a viewer to recall the message (http://tv-advertising.suite101.com/article.cfm/ratings_and_more_basic_tv_ad_terms)"

you're much better off finding a slot where you can run it 10 times at $220 rather than blowing the $2200 on one view.

[d03boy]

[TheTyke]

Now at $7,000! Very nice, keep up the good work! It's AWESOME to see that this amazing ad will see air time.

[Mopsus]

May I suggest Comedy Central at 10:30 PM on THursday? There's an animated program titled "Lil' Bush" that plays well on the administration's stupidity. The "High Tide" animation runs in the same vein of anti-Bush "strategery" and is also an animation but is much more sophisticated. (Subliminal message?)

Airing the spot then may resonate with disenfranshised Reps and Dems who hate Bush. BTW, the show cracks me up.

This is all assuming the price is affordable.

That means most Republicans don't watch it. I don't think there should be too many ads on Comedy Central

[Mopsus]

Is PA an open or closed primary? Isn't the point to tell ALL people that they have an honest choice and don't have to choose the lesser of two evils? I appreciate your point though.

That's a $2000 spot.

how many runs does 100 get you on the histry channel? i see it says 4-7 pm does that mean it runs ONCE or does it run mutlible time. Im also assuming the ad isnt cut in half right?

1 play within the 4-7pm time frame. It's a 60 second ad that plays in full.

[MikeSmith]

Bump - not much time left to donate

[Brainsnake]

What about the Business News Network (BNN)? I would imagine a lot of investors, stock brokers, ect who would be likely to be interested in or understand Ron Paul's message would watch this channel.

[AdamT]

Bump - not much time left to donate

I extended the ChipIn through the weekend. Monday is pretty much the last day for donations to count for this ad buy. I'm going out of town on Tuesday for 15 days, but am considering starting another ChipIn for an Indiana buy that can build donations while I'm gone. Their primary the next one after PA on May 6th, and although I haven't checked yet, I assume midwest Indiana will be much cheaper than Philly.

Any chance of seeing a ChipIn for North Carolina anytime soon? Charlotte is a good spot as someone already mentioned. Its grown enough to be considered a decent sized city without being so big that the prices would be as high.

[LEK]

My only suggestions are that you stick with SciFi, MTv and maybe the Comedy Channel.

45 year old demographic speaking - I watch none of those channels and I think the ad is fantastic.

I hate Lifetime but my age group watches it.

NC's the same day as Indiana, May 6th. These are the next 2 primaries after PA. I think we should pick 1 and focus on that. I'm all down to do either one.

Does anyone know the breakdown of IN and NC? Open/closed primaries, delegate count, delegates bound/unbound, etc? We should take all that into account when deciding.

In addition to Lifetime, the 45 and over demographic can be reached on the Hallmark Channel, some religious channels, Geographic, public, and History channels.

Looking at the buys. I would have dropped the $200 scifi and bought 10 CNNHealine news for $20 each. Also look at the 6am to 9am CBNC, people watch the premarket news before they go to work. Other than that great job, I see someone dropped a couple hundred today.

[AdamT]

Almost up to $8,000! Monday is the last day to donate to this, so if you haven't yet, please consider doing so.

Every additional $100 can buy us a couple more spots.

+1 ! And people are always channel surfing these days. Nobody just stays on one channel during commercials. The more channels you can spread out over, the better, especially considering some of those great prices.

And I agree with the other post about switching 1 sci-fi to 10 CNN Headline News.

Just like investing - diversify.

I think this is great that you and others are doing this for such a fantastic commercial. Kudos to all. I'm off to donate now. :D

The current ChipIn is for Philadelphia only. We'd need many 100s of thousands (if not many millions) for nation-wide.

I'm gonna start a new ChipIn for North Carolina and/or Indiana, as they are the next states to vote post-PA. NC & Indiana are on 5/6. Not sure how much we can raise but might as well give it a shot.

ya, thats what i thought

When you do that next chipin, ask for people to put their state preference in their comments, that way you can see what your donors think.... so if you don't get enough funds to saturate both states, you can see what your donors think.

I'd weigh their votes on their percentage of money donated.
like- for every 5 dollars you get a vote on which state it is played in...on the chance that not enough funds are raised for both.

A lot of people watch primetime that never watch at any other time. So, you might want to cut three $60 headline news and buy two primetime $75 HDLN, and you might want to cut three CNBC $180's and buy one primetime $400 CNBC.

I took off the primetimes to save money, but yeah you're right. I'll add them back in.

I think you guys put together an awesome schedule.
I am hoping for terrible weather and huge market news the week of April 16 to 22.
Hopefully the DailyShow and Colbert are new and not repeats.
I do kind of agree with the primetime CNNHealine News. Glen Beck is on that channel.

[TruthAtLast]

i see that they give you time ranges which I would assume is just for pricing purposes, but do they tell you exactly what time (or at least the hour) that the spot will be played? or do we wait in front of the TV for 3-6 hours? haha

For example, if we have purchased a spot on Headline News between 7p-12a there may be a big difference in the audience and reach between it showing at 7:30pm versus 11:30pm.

Yeah you buy the time range and basically take what they give you. I get an affidavit in the mail afterward showing the exact times they aired.

Just kicked off the new Chip In with $50.

I'd give anything to have Ron Paul send an email out just telling donors to check it out. that's all.
