If you're a brand, especially a brand looking to reach people over age 55, Fox News is a channel that is hard to ignore for its large daily reach and low propensity of people to change the channel.And while Sean Hannity knows how to keep people's hearts pumping on a high emotional drive, there is also some growing evidence brands are reconsidering him as a vehicle to deliver their message to audiences.For all the talk of Hannity losing brands-- we thought it would be useful to share some facts.Since Sept. 1, 321 brands ran 639 spots 3,075 times on Hannity for a total estimated media spend of $32.9 million. Advertisers generated 1.6 billion TV ad impressions during this period.There is a slight decline in the number of unique ads running against original episodes of Hannity -- from the mid 30s to the mid 20s.
