What is this promise?
PLEDGE Drive is a fundraising technique used by public broadcasting staff in radio and television media. During the collateral, the programming of the station will be regularly interrupted by the appeal to the help of viewers and listeners. The length of the lien varies, although most lasts about a week. Many listeners and viewers consider pledge units very irritating due to the constant interruption of the program. Although many governments and organizations offer grants and other public broadcasting assistance, these grants usually do not reach the operating costs of public broadcasting, and therefore broadcast broadcasts turn to the public to ask for help. This is considered an alternative to operating ads that would disrupt programming throughout the year and potentially transform the station into a private profitable company. Incidcelka is the difference between advertising advertising products, and subscription points, short announcements from station sponsors that may not legally include specific product advertising.
During the pledge unit, the programs are regularly interrupted by staff staff who apply to public members to make calls or use the station's website to make a promise. Traditionally, people have promised to pay a small amount of money every month, which is "promised" to gain interest in the survival of the station. In modern pledge units, people can also only donate a flat -rate amount. During the pledge, employees also regularly update how much they were donated and how many new members were added to the station. Many stations also read messages from callers.
For their promises, people are put in drawings at different prices that can range from radios to mugs. Most of these prices are small and simple, designed to keep people in connection with the station. People who donate a particularly large amount during the pledge unit can choose a price as a jacket decorated with the name of the station; Prices are often donated tothe imprisonment that supports the station.
Many public broadcasting stations use programming from companies such as national public radio radio to break down their offerings, and many of these syndicated media support local pledge units by including calls for funds every year. Local stations may include these appeals in their promises or cut them out and replace them with local programming if desired.
People who find annoying units of pledge may not have to despair: public transmitters have recognized that the viewer and listeners tend to decline during the lien and many of them tried to answer. For example, some stations refer to the funds of a break on the station throughout the year, rather than interrupting programming for one week. Others promise to cut off the day of free units for each day.
