http://chicagoradioandmedia.com/news/1109-bill-brady-ads-temporarily-pulled-from-chicago-tv-due-to-non-paymentWith only days to go before Election Day, Republican candidate for Governor Bill Brady is now having to explain a major mix-up. Due to non-payment of bills, television stations all over Chicago and and at least one station further downstate pulled all Brady campaign ads from airing yesterday. WLS-TV, WMAQ-TV, WFLD-TV and WGN-TV have been among those claiming non-payment.
At a key time when most undecided voters finally make up their minds on who to vote for, Brady was not seen on Chicago television.
Brady had two separate excuses for the ad payment situation. He called the non-payment a "glitch," claiming that his campaign had paid a media buyer out of Washington, DC to run the ads and that the media buyer must have mistakenly forgotten to pay. He also claimed that the ad removal was on purpose, as the campaign was trying to run different ads in their place. (He quickly backed off of that excuse and stuck with the forgetful media buyer excuse.)
The media buyer firm, Sandler-Innocenzi, claims it was just following directions and was instructed to change the purchased ads around and that this was how they were instructed to do so.
