From a certain perspective, the biggest political story of 2016 was how the candidate who bought three-quarters of the political ads lost to the one whose every provocative Tweet set the agenda for the days news coverage. With the arrival of bot farms, microtargeted Facebook ads, and Cambridge Analytica, isnt the age of political ads on local TV coming to a close?

You might think. But youd be wrong to the tune of $4.4 billion just in 2016. In U.S. elections, theres a lot more at stake than the presidency. TV spending has gone up dramatically since 2006, for both presidential and down-ballot races for congressional seats, governorships, and state legislaturesand the 2020 campaign shows no signs of bucking this trend. When candidates dont enjoy the name recognition and celebrity of the presidential contenders, its very much business as usual. They rely on the local TV newscasts, watched by 30 million people every daynot Tweetsto convey their messages to an audience more fragmented than ever.

At the same time, the nationalization of news and consolidation of local stations under juggernauts like Nexstar Media and Sinclair Broadcasting mean a decreasing share of time devoted to down-ballot politicsalmost 90 percent of 2016s local political stories focused on the presidential race. Without coverage of local issues and races, ad buys are the only chance most candidates have to get their messages in front of a broadcast audience.
