Obtaining a sponsor/being a sponsor: Individuals and non-profit organizations that want to cablecast their
programs on public access television may do so, or
they can find someone or some business willing to "sponsor" a
program or series to offset costs.
There is no "fee" that
FPAC9 can charge for cablecasting. This does not mean that program production is
cost-free, however. The cost of videotape, batteries (if needed
for wireless microphones), and other miscellaneous costs do add up and
it is not fair to expect FPAC9 to bear all of the costs. We
encourage sponsorship of programs to provide a cost offset of production
expenses.
Such sponsorship may take several forms, all of which must follow the
policies and guidelines set up under Ordinance 913. There are
certain restrictions on commercial logos, etc. that can be used within
time-limits; but these are usually able to be worked out with consultation
with the FPAC9 staff.
Please refer to Guidelines for further
information, or contact FPAC9 for
assistance.
