RBR-TVBR observation: As we reported, BP is refusing to give Florida more money for advertising.  The $25 million the company gave the state in June ran out in Mid-July. FL Governor Charlie Crist had asked for 50 million dollars to run ads through the summer. On 7/12, BP sent him a refusal letter. So this, coupled with the leak being for the most part capped will pretty much run this well of ads dry soon.
