What is a News Buy?

‍A News Buy consists of strategic placement of ads during the station’s Local Early Morning News, 5pm, 6pm and 10pm Local news.  This is the station’s premium inventory.

Media Buyers negotiate and customize the following:

• News sponsorships for clients using on-air billboards, client logo and product placement (pending type of product) within the newscasts. 
• Client/station promotions utilizing news anchors/station talent as influencers for your product.
• Added value to maximize the client’s budget for the most effective and cost-efficient campaign.
