According to TNS Media Intelligence, politicians and their allies will spend a minimum of $1.4 billion on broadcast TV in 2006. Of that staggering total, 84 percent of U.S. House and 74 percent of U.S. Senate ad spending will come in the last 30 days before the election. With less than four weeks to go and politicians scrambling to reach their constituents, Atlantic Video is delivering the competitive edge with an unmatched production facility in the Nation’s Capitol and remote capacity anywhere.

“TV spots help get your point across, share the key messages with voters and communicate your accomplishments with the greatest number of people,” said Congressman Rob Simmons (R-Conn) who recently worked with Atlantic Video through Wilson Grand. “They also give the viewer the chance to see a flattering picture of you and your family. They are an indispensable tool.”

This campaign year, Atlantic Video (AV) has seen an increase in political clients from all parties. Last Friday (10/6) AV hosted the first-ever Washington D.C. taping of “Real Time With Bill Maher” in front of 200 area residents with guests such as Senator John Kerry (D-Mass), former White House anti-terror advisor Richard Clarke, and Representative Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-Fla.), as well as comedian Robin Williams and talk show host Chris Mathews.

“When you’re fighting for the finish line, every detail counts,” said Ed Milligan, President of Atlantic Video, Inc. “From music and lighting to message development, Atlantic Video knows how to deliver a quality product. Located just up the street from the Capitol, we’re a great source for the unpredictable, last-minute needs.”
