01CANDIDATES, SPONSORS AND ELECTIONS
Political ad sales software that starts with the campaign.
A political buy rarely arrives tidy. One race can bring a candidate’s campaign, another political sponsor and an agency placing time for them, often across several of your stations. Kpree links candidate, sponsor, election, agency and campaign records, so everyone handling the buy starts from the same picture of who is buying and for which race.
- Candidates
Keep each candidate on record, connected to the elections they are part of.
- Political sponsors
Record the sponsor behind each political buy and link it to the campaign.
- Elections and campaigns
Group the activity for a race so it can be reviewed together.
- Agencies
Connect the agency placing the buy to the campaign it represents.
How it works
From there, requests, documents and reviews belong to that campaign rather than to a shared folder or one person’s inbox.
Kpree organizes the records and reviews behind political advertising. It does not file with the FCC or post to your public file, and it does not give legal advice or guarantee compliance. Your station remains responsible for its political file and its obligations, and should rely on its own counsel.

02REQUESTS, DISCLOSURES AND PREPAYMENT
Station requests and rate disclosures, with the evidence beside them.
Much of a political coordinator’s season goes into confirming details: what the buyer asked for, which rates were disclosed and whether prepayment has been received.
- Station requests
Track each request against the campaign it belongs to.
- Rate disclosures
Keep the rates disclosed to a political buyer with the campaign record.
- Prepayment
Record prepayment on the campaign, beside the related requests and disclosures.
- Supporting evidence
Keep the evidence behind each transaction where reviewers can find it.
How it works
Kpree tracks station requests, rate disclosures and prepayment on the campaign, together with the evidence that supports each transaction. When a manager or reviewer has a question weeks later, the details are in the record instead of in someone’s memory.
Fewer handoffs.
03AD VERSIONS AND CERTIFICATIONS
Creative, certifications and documents that stay with the buy.
Political creative can change several times before election day, and each change brings its own paperwork. Kpree organizes ad versions, certifications and supporting documents on the campaign, so the team works from one organized set instead of attachments spread across email threads.
- Ad versions
Keep every version of a political spot organized on its campaign.
- Certifications
Store the certifications for a political buy with the rest of its records.
- Supporting documents
Keep supporting documents next to the records they back up.
How it works
Political Monitor and file-readiness reports help your team find outstanding work so someone can follow up on it.

Keep the details
moving together.
From start to finish.
04POLITICAL FILE RECORDKEEPING
Political file recordkeeping, with posting records and due dates.
Teams looking for political file software usually want two answers: what has already been posted, and what is still due. Kpree keeps public-file posting records and due dates for each campaign and shows the items that remain outstanding.
How it works
Your team places documents in the station’s public file, and Kpree holds the posting record alongside the campaign it relates to. Kpree does not post documents to the public file or file with the FCC.
campaign
| Task | Kpree | Your station |
|---|---|---|
| Public-file posting | Keeps posting records, due dates and outstanding items | Posts documents to the station’s public file |
| FCC filing | Does not file with the FCC | Makes any required filings itself |
| Lowest-unit-charge review | Keeps the review with its rate evidence | Reviews the rates and decides what to charge |
| Compliance and legal questions | Highlights outstanding items; gives no legal advice | Remains responsible, relying on its own counsel |
05LOWEST UNIT CHARGE AND EQUAL OPPORTUNITY
Lowest-unit-charge review with the rate evidence in view.
Lowest unit charge, often called the lowest unit rate, is something political sales teams review carefully, with the right rates in front of them. Kpree supports that review by keeping it with the political campaign, next to the rate disclosures and the evidence behind the transaction, so the review stays on file with the sale.
How it works
Kpree does not set or certify a political rate. Your reviewers decide what the station charges, with counsel involved where your station requires it.
Equal-opportunity recordkeeping follows the same approach: Kpree keeps equal-opportunity records with the election and the candidates they relate to.
Fewer handoffs.
06POLITICAL MONITOR AND REPORTING
Know what is still open and prepare each station’s packet.
Political Monitor shows coordinators and managers outstanding political work and what needs attention next.
- Political Monitor
One view of open political items for coordinators and managers.
- Station packets
Prepare organized, station-specific documentation from the campaign records.
- Political Smart Report
Start from the political template and keep your filters for next time.
- File-readiness reports
See which items are still outstanding for each campaign.
- Scheduled delivery
Send results daily, weekly, monthly or quarterly through secure email links.
- Scoped access
Role and station scope control who can view and edit political records.
How it works
When a station needs its documentation together, prepare an organized, station-specific packet from the records already in Kpree, with a separate packet for each station in a group.
Smart Reports include a political template alongside file-readiness reports. Save the filters you use and export results as CSV, Excel or PDF where the report supports it.
A CLEARER PICTURE
Keep the details
moving together.
From start to finish.
Does Kpree post our political file or file with the FCC?
No. Kpree keeps public-file posting records, due dates and outstanding items, and organizes the documentation behind them. It does not post to your public file or file with the FCC; your station handles posting and any FCC filings itself.
Does Kpree make sure we comply with political advertising rules?
No. Kpree organizes political records and highlights outstanding items so your team can act on them. Compliance stays with your station and its counsel, and nothing in Kpree is legal advice.
How does Kpree help with lowest-unit-charge review?
It keeps the review with the political campaign and the rate evidence behind it, so the reviewer works from the same records and the review stays on file. Deciding what the station charges, and whether that meets the station’s obligations, stays with your team and counsel.
Can a station group prepare a separate packet for each station?
Yes. Your team can prepare organized, station-specific documentation from the political records. Access follows each person’s role and station scope, so coordinators work with the stations they are responsible for.
Which reports are available for political work?
Smart Reports includes a political template, and file-readiness reports help your team find what is still outstanding. Save filters, export to CSV, Excel or PDF where supported, and schedule results daily, weekly, monthly or quarterly.
Who on the station team uses the political workflows?
Political and traffic coordinators keep candidate, sponsor and document records current, sellers work with political buyers, and sales managers and GSMs follow outstanding items in Political Monitor. Each person’s role and station scope set what they can view and edit.
