There are NH stations which, I imagine, are less-expensive than Boston stations, no?
Boston TV serves southern NH.
I don’t think they are in the bargain-hunting stage any longer.
They have $ coming in. I think the mo is building and it’s going to break for Mitt if it hasn’t yet.
Folks I live in the greater Boston area & here’s the deal: The Boston market not only hits southern NH it goes all over the state on basic cable. Just about everyone in NH from the Canadian border down gets Boston TV. There’s only one state-wide TV channel in NH: channel 9 out of Manchester.
There are any number of New Hampshire residents who work in Massachusetts and a lot of Mass folks who live in NH but work in Mass.
Only one NH station—WMUR, and it’s an ABC affiliate. No NBC/CBS/FOX affiliates in NH, and nobody watches Portland television stations outside Maine, if even that.
There might actually not be any NH stations, at least not big 4 network stations. There aren’t any NJ network stations, it is all NYC or Philly. It is really weird to me when we are in Atlantic City and turn on the TV and see the Philly news, but that’s the way it is.
In fact, the MOST ads I’ve been seeing here in Central NJ are for Linda McMahon running in Connecticut.
This past week I was in MD visiting my kid and their airwaves are DROWNING in ads both for and against ballot question 7 regarding a casino. TV, radio, you can’t get away from them. There is also a #6 regarding the definition of marriage, but ad wise it’s a far cry from #7.
As the kid pointed out, she thinks there must be a 1-5 too, but who knows what they are. She just moved there, so she is not up on all the local issues. However, she is aware her gov. is an idiot.
So, political advertising is a little strange. I did see a bunch of Obama ads, but I assume those are aimed at VA as MD is Obama country for sure. I saw a few for Romney too, but as I say the Casino issue is ruling the day down there.
I’m so sorry my kid had to move there, but she did for her job.
