Hillary Clinton Capitalizes On Hurricane Matthew, Buys Ads On Weather Channel

Hillary Clinton hopes to capitalize on Hurricane Matthew, the Category 4 storm that threatens death and destruction in Florida and up the Eastern seaboard, with campaign ad buys on the Weather Channel.
Politico reports that the Clinton campaign has purchased $63,000 worth of ads on the go-to weather station slated to run over the course of five days in the Florida market.
Update: The Clinton campaign announced that it was delaying its Florida ad buy. “We have requested that stations in Florida delay any of those ads on the Weather Channel until after the storm passes,” Clinton campaign spokesman Jesse Ferguson said in a statement. The original story continues below.
The purchase ensures that as Floridians are hunkering down in preparation for the tempest, they are likely to catch Clinton’s campaign pitch.
