Race

160 buys running now as 54 creatives · $2,106,944 on the air · 90 more buys in the last 30 days. A station order never names the spot: a picture is shown only when the creative is confirmed by a person or a high-confidence match; 53 buys still need a person to say which ad.

Which ad a buy carries is our best match. Station filings list the money and the dates, almost never the ad itself, so some matches are wrong.
