Trump has started running ads on NYC cable TV

And I can't understand why. TV here doesn't reach PA and it's very expensive to run. But I guess it's good he's wasting money on NY, NJ, and CT.

I've seen ads for both candidates here in NYC (on MSNBC, which is basically the only TV I watch), but I don't know how the local/national ad buy thing works.

It was really weird. To see commercials for San Antonio law firms, but my dad who lives in San Antonio has the satellite account. The ommercials were for the San Antonio market.
