Russian term or phrase: федеральный эфир
Представители четырех крупнейших рекламных холдингов подсчитали, насколько в среднем выросли цены для их клиентов в федеральном эфире.

I understand that эфир here means something like air time, or just air (as in "on the air")...but what exactly is федеральный эфир? Thanks for your help!

федеральный эфир
airtime in nationwide broadcasts


Explanation:
You are right, Jennifer. It is obviously about the cost of the air time in nationwide broadcasts. Федеральный in this very context would mean nationwide.
