Connection research · 2026-09-18KHQ adds $49,900 in contract totals and three exact buying-reference matches to KREM

Recorded status: primary contract bridge verified; actual KHQ airings, producer and payment chain unresolved

Primary FCC documents inspected September 18, 2026: KHQ's Defend and Protect Idaho folder has eight posted PDFs (six contract versions covering three contract IDs, two NAB forms). The station-profile search for quoted defend returned No Results Found, yet direct navigation 2026 > Non-Candidate Issue Ads revealed the folder. Search failure is not evidence of no activity.
Latest posted contract snapshots: 248930 (May 13 revision 2), alt order28673260, estimate4265, 16 total spots/$13,825 gross/$2,073.75 agency commission/$11,751.25 net; 248931 (May13 revised), alt28673262, estimate4267, 29 total spots/$23,275 gross/$3,491.25 commission/$19,783.75 net; 249061 (May14), alt28674466, estimate4274, 20 total spots/$12,800 gross/$1,920 commission/$10,880 net. Sum of the three printed contract totals:65 spots/$49,900 gross/$7,485 commission/$42,415 net. These are contract totals, NOT verified airtimes, settlement, or a Redbird pass-through reconciliation.
All name advertiser POL/Defend & Protect Idaho and contracting agency Commercial Space Experts,2400 Laramie Trail,Austin TX78745. Account executive Bob Cain; sales office KATZ-Eagle/Philadelp; adult35+ demographic; advertiser code383;30-second units. Cash/Trade marked Cash is a billing category, not evidence of physical cash.
The same three estimate numbers4265/4267/4274 occur on KREM's previously verified distinct orders3277030/3277092/3279153 for the same advertiser and agency. This is a concrete common-buying-reference bridge between stations, not proof of common creative or production ownership. No KHQ contract inspected contains CPMDAPI26005H, Redbird Strategies, Cade Cothren, a named candidate, production invoice, master slate or Google/YouTube identifier. Do not map a KHQ spot to the KREM creative based solely on estimate number.
All six pages of these three latest PDFs visually inspected. Revision printouts may show only changed lines while their totals reflect the full order; do not sum visible amendment lines as a replacement for printed full-order totals.
