Obama TV Comes to DISH
Barack Obama's presidential campaign has taken another leap in its media efforts, this time putting work behind a channel that's appearing on DISH Network.
The paid advertising endeavor from the campaign, appearing on DISH channel 73, provides a looping two-minute commercial on Obama's economic proposals. The channel also airs a video that was shown at the Democratic National Convention in Denver before the Democratic nominee accepted the party's nomination for president.
The small dish service stressed that the Obama channel is a paid advertising push from the campaign.
"DISH Network Channel 73 is paid advertising by the Obama campaign and is not an endorsement of Sen. Obama by DISH Network. DISH Network made the same offer to the McCain campaign, an offer that remains open," the company said in a statement.
