Gray TV Tops $400M In 2020 Political Ad Rev

Gray Television said today that its television stations and digital platforms have now run more than $400 million in political advertisements since Jan. 1, net of commissions and agency fees.

Since Election Day, Nov. 3, Gray’s stations and platforms serving communities in the State of Georgia have run approximately $20 million (net) in political campaign and political issue advertisements related to the two run-off election races for U.S. Senate seats in Georgia.

Gray said it expects political advertisements for these two races will continue running through Jan. 5, 2021, the date of the special elections. As a result, Gray’s total net political revenue for the calendar year 2020 “will exceed the $400 million level that was crossed yesterday.”
