Which raises an interesting point....Ch 60 is now Telemundo (WNEU) and with
the Spanish-Speaking population of NH very low, I would suspect there has
been no spanish language political ads on Ch 60.

NOTOH, Ch 50 WNDS and Ch 21 WPXG (mostly Ch 50 though) have broadcast ads. I
would guess though that the Boston stations CBS4 NBC7 FOX25 UPN38 WB56
(Howmany people DONT know WB56's actual call letters, nevermind COL) would
get more ads, since those 5 networks have NO NH outlet...

(For the first time since I moved to NH in '90, I've no real choice in the
Primary...as in 1992 I actually voted in the Dem primary as I was
Independent at the time, voting for Jerry Brown because he was pro Flat Tax
and pro Space Exploration......then having GOP Primaries (I was Independent
until 1994, became Libertarian for about a year, then Republican in 95 til
now)... in 1996 and 2000....Steve Forbes my man both times....This time I
may vote for a 'lesser' candidate in the GOP primary just for funzies!)

In an otherwise interesting story about the sums of money
being spent by candidates in the NH Primary, published
in the Wall Street Journal on Wednesday Jan 21st, this
assertion appeared:  "WMUR-TV, New Hampshire's only
broadcast TV outlet..."
Duh...even if you exclude NHPTV which cannot accept political
ads, there are channels 21, 50 and 60;  and channel
50 carries news, plus weather by Al Kaprelian who makes
Howard Dean seem sedate!  To the best of my knowledge,
the WSJ did not print a correction.
