Report: Obama Mega-Ad Could Delay World Series Game Barack Obama has secured three networks to air his 30-minute ad in late October, and it may even cut into World Series time FOXNews.com Wednesday, October 15, 2008 At least three of the major broadcast television networks have agreed to air a 30-minute ad from the Barack Obama campaign in late October, according to a report in Advertising Age. The article also says that if there is a sixth game of the World Series, Major League Baseball will push the game's start later by 15 minutes so the FOX network can air the ad on Oct. 29. The start time was moved from 8:20 to 8:35 p.m. According to Advertising Age, the Obama campaign is spending close to $3 million to air the 8 p.m. program on FOX, CBS and NBC. The Republican National Committee scolded Obama on Wednesday for interfering with professional baseball's proceedings. "It's unfortunate that the World Series' first pitch is being delayed for Obama's political pitch. Not only is Obama putting politics before principle, he's putting it before our national pastime," spokesman Alex Conant said. The Obama campaign has not revealed the content of the half-hour ad. The FOX broadcast network and FOX News Channel both are owned by News Corp. Click here to read the report.
