Pre-Air turns FCC political-ad filings into a public ledger of large outside-group TV bookings, organized by state and market.

Why it surfaced

The site reads scanned FCC filings and surfaces the money before it reaches the screen: $114.3 million in 2026 broadcast bookings, including $43.4 million in Michigan. Every row links back to the original filing, making this both a useful election-watching tool and a sharp piece of public-data reporting.

The Fax Is Thinking

August 8’s newborn domains include a chatbot that replies only by fax, an Elmira tax analysis built from 1,689 sales, a map protecting Jeju divers’ precise fishing grounds, and 58 boxes catalogued into one uncle’s 1,113-book library.

This is one of 1,000 discoveries in the 2026-08-08 Domain Arrivals issue.
