VARIOUS: MILLIONS SPENT ON FINAL WEEK'S FLORIDA, OHIO AND PENNSYLVANIA TV ADS [Chris Lilik 10/25 11:07 AM]

Station owners must be in heaven. The Associated Press reports that the Kerry and Bush campaign are spending around $40 for TV ads on just the final week of the campaign. "Of that, both sides are spending about $4.5 million apiece in Florida, at least $2.5 million in Ohio and $2 million in Pennsylvania."

When all the numbers have been added up, both sides will have shelled out more than $400 for radio and TV buys, and independent groups will have thrown in, at minimum, $100 million worth of spending.
