Political ads must be charged the same as the lowest regular advertisement for a time period before the campaign. Which is why TV stations don't discount the few months before or they offer regular ads "package deals" that include discounts but it's worded so it's not the rate that's discounted.

WMUR must give political ads first booking. FCC requires it I believe. My company is trying to run ads but they told us don't bother to set anything up as nearly every time slot is full of political ads already.

Much better than even 1990
