Preproduction (business produced) commerical: 10-20 seconds: $100 per spot 21-45 seconds: $300 per spot 46 seconds to 75 seconds: $500 per spot Postproduction commerical (produced by the Tigers TV Crew, using TTV equipment and personalities, and business representatives at the discretion of the sponsor). 20-30 seconds: $300 per spot 31-50 seconds: $500 per spot 51-75 seconds: $750 per spot Per law and regulations, commerical advertising is prohibited on Public Access stations. All commerical spots will be added to video sale productions following airtime on television. One "spot" is equal to one commercial on a given program. For example, if 75 tapes of the 2004 Tiverton Band Concert are sold, one spot will be added to each tape, whether in the opening or ending of the production, at the sponsors discretion. Essentially, for the cost of one spot, 75 tapes would have the commerical(s) added. On average, the Tigers TV Crew sells between 5 and 20 tapes for each of its annual 50+ productions. Some productions, such as Newport Gulls games, may sell up to 50+ tapes for some games, to consumers from all over the New England area. Commercial space for Newport Gulls and Tigers Baseball games are available between innings, pre and post game show segments, and prior to the start and end of tape recordings. Commercial space for non sports productions is available at the start and close of the production. All prices and sponsorship for commercial advertising is negotiable. Sponsorship through commercials aides in the purchase of capital equipment expenses, repair, replacement, and advancement, to include capability expansion. The average low quality TV camera costs a minimum of $5000 in used condition. A medium level camera, purchased new, costs around $20,000. A professional level camera starts at $50,000 and up. The TTV Crew's primary mission is to increase production quality with newer, modern equipment, with money provided by our sponsors. Other capital expenses include monitors, vcr tape decks, switchers, editing devices, graphics generators, and mixers. The aim and mission statement of the Crew is to provide the public with a sence of the hard work and effort that goes into the planning and coordination of events in Tiverton, Newport County, Bristol County, MA, and all of RI, through the use of the Public Access Television networks, and to generate an increased level of awareness and interest in these events and organizations, as well as providing quality recordings of these events for posterity. Rules: All sponsorship programs, with the exception of uniform sponsorships, are conducted on a yearly basis. Upon payment in full, the Tigers TV Crew will immediately take action to produce the desired commerical advertising to the best of its ability. The TTV Crew, as a thanks to the sponsors which allow for its continuing expansion, will place advertisement second only to overall production quality in considering production undertakings and logistics. No gurantee can be made on the total sale of TTV tapes, which are available only by the demand of the consumer. Every effort will be made to ensure sponsors receive as much publicity as is allowed per public access and non-profit organization regulations. Advertising of tape sales will be persued vigorously by TTV personnel and through fundraisers.
