Primary TV ads: 3,383 here (Cincinnati Enquirer)

If you thought you saw a lot of television ads for the Democratic presidential primary, you weren’t imagining it.

You did. And most of them were for Barack Obama.

The candidates together spent $1.5 million to air 3,383 ads in Cincinnati from Feb. 1 through March 4, according to a report out Wednesday. That’s more than 102 ads a day.

The report was issued Wednesday by the University of Wisconsin Advertising Project, which analyzed data obtained from the TNS Media Intelligence Campaign Media Analysis Group.
