Yes, I understand that it probably wont be possible to run instantly. But manual approval should be possible within 24 hours, allowing for next-day ADs.

As for local Ads, in my country India those are run only in "local cable channels" which is basically some extra channels inserted by local cable providers (in US, I think(?) there are only nationwide cable providers). There is little scope for such deals in mainstream channels.

We have local channels put together by the cable company (and the phone company in some places), too. They mainly have video of community events, like town council meetings or school sporting events. There are a few that have tickers and scrolling panels with various topics and combinations of topics (general news, financial news, community news, weather, sports scores, stock ticker, etc.).
