WASHINGTON, Aug. 19,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- PurpleTV, which Radio and
Television Business Report calls "…a novel new
over-the-air television brand that seeks to bridge the divide
between Republicans and Democrats…" is rapidly expanding.
PurpleTV's broadcast footprint will now cover cities in
Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Georgia, Nevada, and Arizona—the six swing states in
the upcoming presidential election—plus Florida and North
Carolina. Now, 34 million people in those states can watch
PurpleTV, and the channel now reaches more than 40 million people
nationwide.
"Millions of people watch free over the air (OTA) television but
only 50,000 go to the convention, so we are going to serve blue,
purple and even red viewers by broadcasting the DNC over the air,"
said Matthew Davidge, CEO of
PurpleTV.
PurpleTV's market footprint will now expand from three
television markets to 23 television markets and focus on states
where Democrats polled between 47% and 50% in the 2020
election.
PurpleTV also recently added daily content from popular
YouTuber, podcast host, political commentator, and author
Brian Tyler Cohen, who has more than
six million subscribers on social media and who has interviewed
everyone from Mary L. Trump and
Gavin Newsom to Beto O'Rourke and Vice President Kamala Harris.
