· .Underwriting is a sponsorship of noncommercial local television programming

Your business (the underwriter) makes a tax deductible contribution to TTCTV and the television station creates a video “thank you” featuring the sponsor on air. In addition to appearing on-air, your business will be listed on TTCTV’s website as well as posted on the TTCTV Bulletin which is televised daily.

· Your investment in TTCTV as an underwriter will not only benefit your business, it will benefit our entire community!

Your spot will also be available as streaming media, hosted by the TTCTV website.

· $1000 Annual (paid in full)
