The ad station contract from the FCC public file

Est. total	≈ $16,600 estimate
Order #	239904

This total is an estimate (≈ $16,600). The filing carries no dollar figure, so we sized it from median day rate of 132 priced orders on KAKE; 6-day flight. The real total is not known yet and is left out of confirmed-spend figures; we update it when a later invoice or the candidates' finance filings land.

Spot counts are real, from the order’s own schedule. “Who’s watching” is modeled from each daypart’s public audience mix (the same model behind the demographics export), not measured local ratings.
