Abstract
An experimental study was conducted with 283 members of civic groups and college students to determine to what extent the type of television program surrounding a political commercial and the type of political commercial influence the effectiveness of those commercials. Results indicated that commercial type had a significant effect on candidate evaluation, issue recall, and vote likelihood. The study also reveals that some types of political commercials are more likely to increase vote likelihood when placed in specific types of television programming.
