Republican gubernatorial nominee Carl Paladino is planning to make some sort of major television announcement tomorrow [Thursday] at 5:13 p.m., my sources tell me.
"Paladino has purchased a [block of TV time] in Buffalo with the 3 network affiliates at 5:13 with a satellite uplink avail for downstate media. You cannot turn on the major channels with-out seeing Carl.
"The broadcast will be rerun in Rochester, Albany and Syracuse (broadcast ) and Channel 12 on LI, plus Westchester Fox cable later that evening," Source 1 tells me. "YNN and NY-1 [were] asked to sell Paladino time for statewide reach -- they both declined. [He is] trying to buy FOX statewide at 5:13... Simulcast difficult -- may be on at 6 p.m. Huge audience." ...
Paladino is taping this message -- whatever it may be -- at 4 p.m., and it will post online at 5:13 p.m., Source 1 said.
