So have an announced Senate candidate run it on NBC again.

That has been done. (Sometimes with straw third parties. Randall Terry did it as a candidate to get otherwise unairable pro-life ads on the air). The trick is to get the money to the Senate campaign legally in a sufficient bundle to afford the ad. A national buy would likely require Michael Huffington/Linda McMahon type money from someone who can self-fund. Maybe Trump could run for Senate in California!
