Computer implemented methods and systems select television inventory units for a television advertising campaign. The method includes: (a) receiving information identifying (i) a target television audience, (ii) a plurality of television inventory units and a given price for each television inventory unit, and (iii) a budget for the television advertising campaign; (b) determining the probability of the target television audience viewing each of the plurality of television inventory units based on historical television viewing data; (c) for feasible combinations of television inventory units meeting the budget for the television advertising campaign, determining an expected target television audience reach based on the probabilities determined in step (b); and (d) selecting the feasible combination of television inventory units providing the greatest television audience reach for the television advertising campaign. The methods and systems can also be used for other media advertising campaigns including, e.g., radio, Internet broadcast, or video-on-demand advertising campaigns.
