City 4 Television
Sponsorship Program

Overview of sponsorship program

City 4 TV is offering organizations, including for-profit and not-for-profit entities, an opportunity to sponsor a locally produced program in exchange for media recognition.

1) A sponsor will receive two 15-second spots per program cablecast, shown at the beginning and end of each program. Included in the spot will be the organization's name, logo (if available), telephone number or other contact information, and a voice over of the organization's slogan or a brief description of the organization.

2) Each sponsorship contract lasts for three months, beginning on the first day of the month following contract approval and signing, for a total of $500. An organization may opt for a one-month contract for $200. However, sponsor contributions may include in-kind services, equipment, and/or supplies if approved in advance by the Station Manager.

3) Each sponsor may designate the program of his/her choice, but the program must be exclusively taped, edited, and produced by City 4 TV. Each program is cablecast a minimum of four times weekly. Consequently, the sponsor's message will be shown approximately 16 times a month.

4) A not-for-profit organization that provides proof of its 501(c)3 status may receive a 50% discount off listed prices.
