Obama To Go Prime Time Before Election

Barack Obama has purchased a half-hour of prime time television just before the presidential election, Access Hollywood has confirmed.

According to documents viewed by Access, the Democratic presidential candidate spent $891,250 at NBC and $961,000 at CBS for a half-hour of airtime starting at 8 PM on October 29. The election is November 4.

When contacted by Access Hollywood, ABC could not confirm if they had also been approached. Fox told Access they may be airing Game 6 of the World Series.

Reps for CBS and NBC both said they were not aware if Republican candidate John McCain has reached out for an equal opportunity.

This will be the first time a presidential candidate has purchased 30 minutes of prime time TV since Ross Perot in the 1992 election.
