Re: Costs of promotion/educational materials
Attached is a breakdown of estimated costs for providing the
promotional materials for Channel 30 and the Foundation, which
were presented at the July meeting.
These costs are broken into two categories, the first being on-
going services to be billed on a monthly basis, the second being
one-time costs for brochures and the 10 minute promo tape. The
cost for a fund raiser is deferred until we have a plan and format
for the event.
You will notice that production rates are less than the normal
access rate card. We have chosen to charge a rate which simply - covers staff expenses (payroll), not equipment usage. The air
time on the satellite channels, calculated at a value of $960.00
weekly is also being donated to the promotion of Channel 30 access.
The following are cost estimates for promotion & education
materials, produced by the operators.
