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!

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.
