Study: Denver had nation's highest number of presidential ads after conventions
WASHINGTON - Denver's airwaves were flooded with more presidential campaign ads than anywhere else in the U.S. for much of September, a new analysis shows.
Between Sept. 9 and Sept. 30 - from the end of the political conventions to the first debate between President Barack Obama and GOP challenger Mitt Romney - the two campaigns and their supporters aired ads 7,770 times in Denver, according to the Wesleyan Media Project.
Ads supporting Obama aired 1,812 more times in the city than ads supporting Romney, according to the authors, who analyzed data compiled by the private group Kantar Media/CMAG.
Obama and Democratic groups paid to air their ads 4,791 times. The Obama campaign paid for 4,001 of those spots and independent Democratic groups paid for 790, the analysis found.
