ON-AIR PLEDGE DRIVES
PUBLIC TELEVISION & RADIO
The quality and results of on-air pledge drives varies significantly from station to station. How can you strengthen your pledge drive and produced greater short-term and long-term results?
| On air pledge drives are a more than thirty-year-old innovative attempt by the industry to make up for the shortfall in federal government funding for public broadcasting. While public broadcasting couldn't survive without it, America provides less federal funding per capita for public broadcasting than any major country in the world. |

Outlining those things that success requires is relatively easy. Experienced station professions could improve on my list. What proves challenging is managing the pledge drives so as to secure the maximum short AND long term net income to the station.
TeamSoper can help strengthen your drive. We can assist you before or during your pledge drive or in producing a post-drive analysis. Assistance can be provided to key professionals on-site or by phone.
