Obama will buy a 30 minute time-slot on at least 3 major networks on October 29th.
This is rarely done. (Perot did this.) BO will deliver his message directly to the public. Will people tune in?

Delay of Game: MLB Will Move a Game 6 for Obama
Would Start World Series Game 15 Minutes Later

WASHINGTON (AdAge.com) --Major League Baseball has moved back the scheduled start time of a possible game six of the World Series so Fox can also air the half-hour spot from Sen. Barack Obama on Oct. 29.
A network spokeswoman confirmed the buy and said MLB had agreed to the network's request for the delay.
Fox now joins CBS and NBC in airing the half hour program, whose content the Obama campaign has declined to describe. The decision means the Obama campaign is now spending close to $3 million to air the program from 8 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. that night on at least three networks. ABC didn't immediately return a message asking whether it too has now agreed to a buy, a move which would create an unprecedented roadblock of the nation's biggest commercial networks.
