Other than having a person in the control room to make sure the program is aired, what could she do? Now, maybe that should have been done because of all the enemies we have in the press. The station didn’t just “forget” to run a prepaid ad twice. It decided to not run it and then claim ignorance.
For something this important, you had better believe a campaign should have an employee babysitting the station manager.
buy airtime on a large network channel - not a public access channel. That’s what she could have done.
