Underwriting
Underwriting Opportunities
by admin ()LPCTV's efforts are made by possible in part from the support of the following business underwriters:
Wine & Cheese Depot, Ludlow
Timber Inn, Route 103, Ludlow
LPCTV offers underwriting opportunities for local businesses who wish to show their support for our operations. In exchange for a tax-deductible charitable contribution, LPCTV will acknowledge each underwriter in its distribution of electronic and print media, including on the community bulletin board, and on this website.
We are offering this program as a means to form a collaborative working relationship with the business community. As an underwriter, you would make a tax deductible contribution and receive, in return, multi-media acknowledgements as an “underwriting sponsor”, giving your business exposure on television, on our website, and on any printed materials for mass distribution. Your business name and logo may appear on any number of these formats, depending on the level of your giving (see below). We thought by creating this exposure we would provide an added incentive for businesses to contribute. What we are offering is NOT advertising; rather, it is a visual acknowledgement of your business’s support of our operations. You have probably seen similar examples of this on public television (PBS) stations. In effect, underwriting is the chance for the business community to financially and publicly support local community television.
The following table shows the different underwriting levels:
