Eliminating tax exemptions

Early indications are that we will face another serious shortfall of revenues in the next state budget round. A recent state revenue task force recommended we consider eliminating some sales tax exemptions as a means of increasing revenues. Would the candidates favor elimination of the sales tax exemption on television air time purchased by advertisers to run saturation ads? Saturation advertising, at least by my definition, would be seeing the same commercial more than once in a half hour.
