I stopped by KSTP-TV this afternoon to see if any candidates had television ads scheduled. I got lucky since KSTP-TVs public file says DFLer Amy Klobuchar will start running ads tomorrow (Tuesday) morning on Good Morning America. The file also says the ads will run on the The View, Primetime, Regis and Kelly and the morning, midday, 4 o'clock, five o'clock, six o'clock and late night news. KSTP's ad buy will run from July 11th until July 16th and will cost the campaign $13,375.
An official with the Klobuchar campaign says the ads will also run on other stations in the Twin Cities and in Greater Minnesota (aka "statewide ad buy) but she wouldn't say which stations, when they'd run or how much the total buy will cost. She called it a "significant" ad buy. The thirty second ads will highlight Klobuchar's work as a prosecutor and her approach to public service. This is the first of many ads that Klobuchar and Republican Mark Kennedy will run between now and the November election. This is why they raise all of that money.
