So TV decides who gets in.
And a newspaper has the right to refuse advertising to anyone they please. So it's not a legal matter. Just think if they were legally obligated to run ads for anyone with money. There would be some scary stuff in there.
Obviously ParCar is a reputable business, but as someone said earlier, if you owned a Chevy dealership, would you let the Ford shop down the street set up in your parking lot to sell?

So TV decides who gets in. If
TV is referring to a business, then I have no issues. If
TV is a governmental agency, then I might see issues. It is my understanding that all Village clubs who have fundraising events in the Villages are now required to follow new rules on who will be allowed to participate as a sponsor of their event.
It can be a sticky wicket. Who owns the land on which the event takes place? What is public and what is private land in the Villages. Things here are not as clear cut as in other parts of the US.
