WASHINGTON, Aug. 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- 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, purple and even red 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.

PurpleTV currently broadcasts in Milwaukee, Wisconsin (WWMW), Columbus, Ohio (WXOH), and West Palm Beach, Florida (WBWP). It's expanded channel list will be:
