        we all agree then that dan is the best. (he is also trying to cure cancer.) -- nm - ☀️ mandy chem ☀️ Sep 3, 09:54

- that was my other theory, but I wasn’t sure how hyper local broadcast tv could be. -- nm - mafic Sep 3, 07:31 3
  - it will typically serve a DMA or MSA, which is a pretty big area. -- nm - Dark Callisto 🦊 Sep 3, 07:36 2
    - (though if people are watching on streaming, the ads would be personalized to their geo, potentially as far down as their address) -- nm - Dark Callisto 🦊 Sep 3, 09:14 1
      - I watch live on para plus. I think it's just the local affiliate streaming -- nm - ☀️ mandy chem ☀️ Sep 3, 09:22
