Get ready Pittsburgh market. It’s everyone’s favorite time of year – political ad season!

With just seven days remaining until the primary election, the major candidates for the Democratic nomination for Allegheny County Executive have reached deep into their pockets to shell out funds for the four major TV stations in the market – WTAE, WPXI, KDKA and WPGH – to run their ads … over, and over, and over again.

County Treasurer John Weinstein and state Rep. Sara Innamorato are heavily spending in the market. Weinstein has allocated nearly $100,000 – $99,965 to be exact – over the next week to saturate the market with 175 plugs, while Innamorato has earmarked $89,500 for 211 plays.

Attorney Dave Fawcett is spending $35,650 for 78 spots over the next seven days. In a surprise, it does not appear that city controller Michael Lamb has decided to spend on TV in the final week, as no contracts appear on the four stations’ political file listings.

The final total adds up to over $225,000 in TV media buys.
