Contrary to Trump’s tweets, Fox ad rates are fine
A quick follow up to yesterday’s story about ad rates and tonight’s Trump-less primary debate. Mr. Trump has been tweeting all day about how the rates Fox is getting for tonight’s event are “dropping like a rock:”
The "debate" tonight will be a total disaster – low ratings with advertisers and advertising rates dropping like a rock. I hate to see this.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 28, 2016
Turns out that’s not true. Lie would be another word.
The Wall Street Journal and CNN are both reporting Fox’s rates are staying steady at about $200,000 for 30 seconds.
