I doubt 98.9 even has listeners in Asheville (news/talk isn’t my cup of tea, but WWNC is much better than the nuttiness on WYRD) but these political ad campaigns don’t care.
The bigger 98.9 signal will probably offset what I would expect will be lower political ad spending in the next election year (isn’t every year an election year now though, or every month, or every day? Listening to 98.9 sounds like it 🤣). There aren’t any big competitive SC or GA races, NC has a gubernatorial race that will be competitive though. The candidates and campaigns that are involved in the presidential primary running against the former president probably don’t have the $$$ to spend like in past primary years because they’re not going to keep getting tons of donations they can spend everywhere like drunken sailors when they’re all polling in the single digits and have zero chance of winning anything.
