Where CA-22's television is bought, 23 days out

The state publishes no mail-ballot file by district, so this file has one exhibit: the television markets, and what they mean for a buy.

1 · The television markets

California's 22nd District sits in 2 television markets: Bakersfield (244,310 TV homes) and Fresno (636,260 TV homes). A broadcast point is bought for the whole market. The counties in Fresno never see a Bakersfield buy, and the campaign cannot afford a second market for a corner of the district. Streaming is bought by the impression, by ZIP, so the corner costs what the corner costs.

Nielsen market assignment by county, TV homes 2024–25 via USTVDB. District from the state's adopted map.
