Click an advertiser for everything on file about it: every buy, every creative, who funds it, and where its spots run. Dollar figures are floors, de-duped the same way as the buys table below, so the two agree.

Who the red side reaches every red-side buy in this race · air and platforms together, weighted by money

All of this advertiser's measured money is digital ($11,363); 16% of that audience is under 35 and 59% is 55 or older.

No broadcast flight here carries a machine-read schedule, so the figures above are the digital buying alone. Digital is Meta’s own reported delivery where the ad carries it (59% of the digital money), and the platform’s reachable Kansas audience otherwise. Media are blended by money; a digital dollar buys more impressions than a broadcast one, so the blend understates the young rather than overstating them. The model and its sources ↗

Total ————

Broadcast (TV/cable/radio): planned = the station order (largest revision, counted once); invoiced = what the station later billed, shown beside planned and not added to it. Both are gross — what the advertiser pays, the figure the station quotes and the one a committee discloses to the FEC; where a filing breaks out the net, the order's own page shows what reached the station and what the agency kept. Spots = occurrences, how many times the ad airs on the flight, from the station's own schedule where the file was machine-readable — a floor, and a dash means the schedule was scanned or unread, not zero airings. Digital and FEC are not here — the platforms report delivery by state, not by media market. The flight dates tell you which fight a buy was really for.
