The Data

We provide full access to FCC data including spendings for advertising time, all requests for schedules of advertising by political candidates, the final deals agreed on, and more, as soon as the filings are completed. We do so by getting data from the Orders, Contracts, and Invoices of the Political File for each broadcasting station.

Why We Built This

Getting accurate advertising spend and details from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is difficult; you have to retrieve and aggregate data from all documents for each broadcasting station, extract the values from the PDF files, and perform deduplication and error-correction on the data.

Our FCC Data platform does all these for you, providing you with easy and full access to the media and TV advertising data.

Use Cases

Based on the data, you can perform statistical analysis to see how much each Presidential candidate spends on TV advertising, when and where the spots were aired, to ultimately predict the plans for future advertising.
