"July 1 is a bright summer day for most of the nation, made even more so by a new tool designed to shed light on the dark money behind political advertising this year.
On Tuesday, every major broadcast television station in the United States is required to post online information about the political ads that they air. These broadcasters were already required by law to keep a "political file" on site at their stations. Now this file will also be maintained at the Federal Communications Commission website with stations posting copies of contracts showing who these political advertisers are, how much they're spending on ads, and where and when their ads air."
.........
Enter the public call sign for any TV or radio station in America and get instant information on who is spending what, where and when to buy your vote and trying to hide who they are at the same time.
Press the icon with a red star in the station task bar for list of political ad buys and who bought them.
