Overflowing GOP presidential field has Fox News in demand

WASHINGTON (AP) — It’s the stuff of Republican nightmares: Fox News runs out of advertising space for the 2016 presidential campaign.

But a company that handles placement of political ads for cable systems, NCC Media, is already working out how to accommodate ads coming from everyone in the race. That includes, on the Republican side, an expected 17 candidates and dozens of outside groups supporting them.

And it’s not just Fox News, which is the most popular network for conservatives.

Broadcast stations in early primary states will see a 2016 onslaught. People in New Hampshire or Iowa are already seeing ads for at least four GOP presidential candidates.

Florida Sen. Marco Rubio is ordering more than $12 million in ads starting at the end of the year in Iowa, New Hampshire and beyond.
