The TV stations count on this money. My brother works for a station in Cleveland, and he said that the fact that the primary wasn't hottly contested in Ohio hurt them financially. The ad revenues didn't come in, and they were looking for budget cuts over the summer. No, I'm not saying that TV stations are owed this money, I just think it's interesting. You don't don't normally think of who benefits when a political race is tight, or who loses when you aren't a "battleground state".

Big for printers, too
