( '. • . McGOVERN COMPETITIVE MEDIA/COPY I ANALYSIS I AS OF 10/30/72

Prepared by: November Group, Inc. date: October 28, 1972

f -

1.

McGovern will reportedly spend over $1 million in each of the

last two weeks of the Presidential campaign. For the period of

October 30 November 6, it is expected the Democratic

candidate \·lil1 $1,250M dollars - 32% more than.

the current Nixon outlay:

10/30 - 1116/72 PROJEC'l'ED EXPENDf'ruP..ES % Diff. • McGovern Nixon HcG vs 1'1 ($£<1) ( $11) ( %)

TOTAL 1,247.8 947.7 +32

In the final two weeks of the campaign, McGovern TV copy has

also become aggress i ve. In the past \veek, HcGovern

has moved from exclusive use of his rehearsed interview format

-- commercials to a mix with new, extremely strong announcer voice

over "attack" commercials. These cmf,mercials attack the

President on the issues of Vietnam, the l'latergate incident, food

price increases, unemployment, campaign contributions, crime.

II. BEDIA

(Exhibit 1)

MCGovern's mCC1a activity kicked off the week of 11.

In the intervening eight weeks the Democratic candidate has

nearly $6 million in reported broadcast and print -2­

advertising - against a reported $4,125M expenditure by Nixon.

In the last two ,'leeks of the campaign, McGovern has spent

over $1 million a week. In the final eight days of the

campaign, it is expected McGovern will spend approximately

$l,250M to win the election.

B. Compa~ison ~'1cGovern vs Nixon Media Activity (Exhibit 1)

The Nixon media campaign started two weeks later than the

McGovern effort. And it is reported that the Nixon campaign

was outspent by the McGovern effort during three of the

remaining six weeks. As a result, total McGovern reported

spending is 45% ahead of Nixon for the total campaign period.

The major differences between the McGovern and Nixon media

spending strategies to date are:

1) Both candidates utilize network TV in both the 60-second

and 5-minute availabilities. In addition, however,

McGovern has purchased several half hour positions.

2) Both candidates have employed net,york radio in the latter

days of the campaign. McGovern,however, has purchased

60-second and 5-minute announcements while Nixon has

utilized network radio to make 15 and 30 minute live

addresses to the voters. · -3­

3) With the exception of the week of October 9, McGovern

has reportedly spent mOre in local media than he has in the

national (network TV) media. Nixon's primary media

vehicle is network TV.

4) Both McGovern and Nixon have used spot TV to target .:1.n

on voters in major markets in key states. In the week

of October 23, McGovern,for the first time,appears to

have spent more in spot TV than in spot radio to reach

voters on a local basis.

5) McGovern has used radio extensively to obtain broad

market coverage in at least 27 states. Nixon has us~d

spot radio in a limited list of "close" states - primarily

to target messages against key voter blocs (Youth,

Ethnics) .

6) In the early weeks of the campaign McGovern used newspapers

extensively - primarily to carry pleas for campaign con­

tributions. However, there have been no reports of major

McGovern newspaper activity in recent weeks.

Newspapers have been used selectively in the Nixon cam­

paign - primarily for "tune-in" ads and local "attack"

adv2rtising. -4­

C. !>1cGovern NetHork TV (Exhibits 2-3)

During the first four weeks of his media campaign, McGovern

maintained a stable 6-7 announcerr:ents per week network TV

schedule.

This was increased to 12-16 announcements per week for the

latter three weeks of October . .. In the final eight days of the campaign, the TV networks

report McGovern will increase his schedule to 23 announcements/

programs.

It is interesting to note that a greater proportion (9 of 23)

of these final announcenents will be in the 60-second length

than has been evidenced to date. This probably indicates

McGovern plans to place increased emphasis on the new 60 second

"attack" commercials.

Four McGovern half hours are also planned in the next 8 days­

2 of these arc scheduled for election eve.

In te of this heavy schedule in~ network TV, less than 50%

of weekly i-lcGovern media monies in recent \

invested in this national medium. The bulk of HcGovern

broadcast dollars arc invested in local spot TV and spot

radio buys. -5­

McGovern has, throughout the campaign, made relatively little

use of day nebvork. Scheduling on ABC has been lighter ,than

that evidenced on the other b'lO net'-larks.

D. TV (Exhibits 5-6) ------~~----- As noted in previous weeks, care must be exercised when

reviewing both spot TV and radio expenditures reported II. for McGovern . . However, within the limitations of the reporting sources, it

appears HcGovern spot TV expenditures jumped to $400M

for the week of October 23, more than HcGovern in any

other medium fer the It. is exprictcd McGovern

maintain or increase this level in the next eight

days.

McGovern is investing in TV in major markets in all of

the Nixon priority states. Hour, half hour, 5 minute, 60 and

30-second positions are being purchased on a market by market

basis - primarily in the and prime time periods.

Several hour and half hour time periods ~cre used in the

week of October 23 on a spot basis:

1) Half hour buys were made on selecte.? CBS affiliate and

independent stations to back up the ABC-NBC network

half hours on October 25. -6­

2) In Ne\¥ York state, HcGovern purchased an hour telecast

in major markets to conduct a telephone answer program

on October 23. It is anticipated this telethon format

will be utilized in other states as well.

In several markets, the, McGovern spot TV buy is reported to

deliver betvleen 300-500 GRP' s per week. Added to the .. expected 365 GRP's to be achieved by network TV, McGovern

will be delivering betvleen 700 and 900 GRP I S against voters

jn key markets in the final days before the election. And

this does not include the network and spot radio media

weight.

McGovern is utilizing network radio in the final days of

the campaign - to carry 5-minute and 60-second announcement

schedules.

F. Radio (Exhibits 5 and 7)

Again, caution must be exercised \¥hen reviewing spot radio

reports.

However, based on review of seven major reps, it appears

McGovern has purchased an extensive radio effort in over

100 markets in 27 states.

During the week of October 23, for the first time since the

start of his campaign, HcGovern reportedly spent more in

spot TV than he did in spot radio. This represents a

major change in cantpaign strategy for the Democratic candidate. -7­

However, it appears I-1cGovern is still relying heavily on

spot radio to obtain broad market coverage and to target

in on special voter groups (Youth, Spanish and Blacks) .

McGovern spot radio states include all the Nixon priority

states plus South Dakota, Iowa, New Mexico, Nevada, Maine,

Hawaii and Alaska.

• Sources indicate radio buys range from 18-36 spots per week per station. Buys are in both 5 minute and 60-second lengths

and are scheduled in drive (2/3's) and housewife (1/3)

time periods.

G. Nevlspapers (ExJlibit 8)

Some newspaper activity may have been placed locally. HOvlever,

only four major "national" ads have been reported to date.

During the week of October 23, a tune-in ad appeared on

November 25 to promote the neblOrk. TV half hour. And a

special ad appeared in Nevi York papers to promote a pre­

election party to be given in New York by McGovern on

November 31.

H. Miscellaneous

In addition to the anticipated McGovern media activity in

the coming days, the following special "events" have been

reported

1) Fifty members of Congress have formed a "Committee" and

purchased a half hour of time on 10/30 (lO:30-11PM)

on the CBS-TV network. According to CBS, it is a -8­

bi-partisan group who will use the time to expound on

their candidacies.

2) The fu~erican Independent Party (John Schmitz) has

a half hour of time on 10/31 (10:30-llPM) on the NBC-TV

neth'ork.

3) Representatives of Meany have contacted the radio

networks and asked for five minutes of time to be aired

either November 3, 4 or 5.

III

A. Television (Exhibits 9-18)

Four new McGovern "attack" conunercials 'tlere aired on net\'.'ork

TV the week of October 23:

"Supermarket" - focuses on food price increases.

"Unemployment" - focuses on increased unemployment.

"Crime" - focuses on crime increases.

"Tanya" - focuses on Vietnam via death of civilians.

The cOIT~ercials utilize a s full screen crawl of the text

with an announcer voice-over reading. Earlier network TV

commercials in this format included a Vietnam policy attack

and a commercial on the Nate incident.

A 30-second commercial in the format appeared on New York

spot television during the week. This commercial attacked

the President's "secret campaign contributions."

" -9­

The rehearsed question format commercials continue to be used.

Three new executions focusing on jobs and taxes appeared on

New York spot TV during the week.

On October 25 McGovern made a 30-minute network TV address

to the voters. The speech attacked the corruption in .. government (i.e. the Nixon administration) . Four more network TV half hours are planned. Sources

~ndicate at least one of these may be a staged debate between

McGovern and Nixon. McGovern wil~ debate a paper Nixon.

"Nixon rr will respond \1i th former remarks taken out of context t

film clips etc. (NOTE: A suggestion of this format appeared

in the Ne"l York Times on October 23. It now appears such

a program has been taped.)

B. Radio (Exhibits 19-26)

Several ne", radio commercials were picked up this past week

in . Most of these continued to use the rehearsed

intervie\v format. One commercial audited in Detroit used

Senator Proxmire as a spokesman for McGovern.

Newspaper stories indicate the track of the TV "attack"

cOITLrr1ercials "~Jill be used on radio. One commercial ("Vietnam")

of this type was picked up in Detroit this past week.

C. Ne\'lspapcl?s (Exhibits 27-28)

Only one tune-in ad and one party promotion ad were picked

up this "'.-eek. EXHIBIT 1
