by Purple TV | Sep 30, 2024 | Press

PurpleTV has expanded and now broadcasts 7 days a week from 6pm to 1am Central Time (CT). We broadcast over the air in 28 TV markets and over 40 million TV homes.

We have developed a relationship with the Harris-Walz campaign, and we broadcast Harris-Walz rallies live when they happen during our broadcast hours.

We’ve also created a “political weather report,” which we post on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, YouTube, and other platforms.

PurpleTV Pokes Fun at Presidential Campaigns with ‘Political Climate Change’ Weather Forecasts

by Purple TV | Sep 12, 2024 | Press

PurpleTV, which Radio and Television Business Report calls “…a novel new over-the-air television brand that seeks to bridge the divide between Republicans and Democrats… is expanding into weather coverage. Billing it as Political Climate Change, the channel will provide tongue-in-cheek commentary about the political climate over real weather forecasts several times a week.

Yesterday’s forecast was:

Harris Unleashes a Hurricane of Facts and Zingers… Trump Flounders Badly

While a hurricane batters Louisiana, Trump is floundering after a perfect storm of zingers and facts from Kamala Harris during their debate last night. Today, Trump is clinging to his outdated talking points but he’s facing a new opponent and will likely be blown away.

The short weather videos will feature an orange tornado representing Donald Trump, and an image of Air Force Two representing Kamala Harris, and the candidates’ movements will be tracked as they campaign across the country.

“Americans don’t want to live under an orange cloud for four more years, we want blue skies ahead,” said Matthew Davidge, CEO of PurpleTV.

After launching on WWMW in Milwaukee, Wisconsin ahead of the Republican National Convention back in June, PurpleTV has since expanded to 25 television markets across the country. PurpleTV’s broadcast footprint now covers cities in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Georgia, Nevada, and Arizona—the six swing states in the upcoming presidential election—plus Florida and North Carolina. Now 34 million people in those states can watch PurpleTV, and the channel now reaches more than 40 million people nationwide.

PurpleTV also recently added daily content from popular YouTuber, podcast host, political commentator, and author Brian Tyler Cohen, who has more than six million subscribers on social media and who has interviewed everyone from Mary L. Trump and Gavin Newsom to Beto O’Rourke and Vice President Kamala Harris.

Progressive TV channel PurpleTV adds 20 additional markets for the Democratic National Convention

by Purple TV | Aug 19, 2024 | Press

PurpleTV, which Radio and Television Business Report calls “…a novel new over-the-air television brand that seeks to bridge the divide between Republicans and Democrats…” is rapidly expanding.

PurpleTV’s broadcast footprint will now cover cities in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Georgia, Nevada, and Arizona—the six swing states in the upcoming presidential election—plus Florida and North Carolina. Now, 34 million people in those states can watch PurpleTV, and the channel now reaches more than 40 million people nationwide.

“Millions of people watch free over the air (OTA) television but only 50,000 go to the convention, so we are going to serve blue, red, and purple viewers by broadcasting the DNC over the air,” said Matthew Davidge, CEO of PurpleTV.

PurpleTV’s market footprint will now expand from three television markets to 23 television markets and focus on states where Democrats polled between 47% and 50% in the 2020 election.

PurpleTV also recently added daily content from popular YouTuber, podcast host, political commentator, and author Brian Tyler Cohen, who has more than six million subscribers on social media and who has interviewed everyone from Mary L. Trump and Gavin Newsom to Beto O’Rourke and Vice President Kamala Harris.
