Advertising on Channel 6.

In addition to demanding we keep the station about, by and for Big Bear, the owner of the station strives to keep access to airtime affordable for all types of business.

You can have a month of air time for less than a small classified . . .

Ever thought to yourself, “What We Need in Big Bear Is . . .” You might just be the next big idea for Channel 6.

Kids Programs?

Educational?

Self Help?

Entertainment?

Maybe DJ or VJ?

Discussion?

Political?

Everything on TV today stared with an idea and a passion for wanting to share it.

“But I don’t know how to turn on a camera let alone put a show together!”

Channel 6 will help you every step of the way. We have access to freelance camera people, directors, musicians, voice over talent, editors the works.

“It’s got to be expensive to put on a TV Show.” Although Channel 6 is not exactly a Non-Profit organization (close, but not exactly) you would be surprised just how little it takes to get your show on the air. Especially if your idea has the support of the community. Give us a try. One thing is for sure - if you don’t try it will never get on air . . . Unless someone else comes to us first. Write the GM Now!

“Come on... At least Give Me an Idea...”

There is a minimum cost to air a show each month for a half hour program. This guarantees you a minimum of two airings a week, plus ROTS rights (please see Rate Card for details).

(At least Give Me an Idea... Cont’d)

A half-hour program consists of 28 minutes of air time. There is a minute before and after each show for Channel 6 to run our promotional spots promoting other Channel 6 programing and ROTS commercials.

Rates increase during prime time and reduce during off times. Consideration is also given to length of contract, children’s programing and community service programing.

Can I make any money bringing programing?

Yes.

Once Channel 6 has covered the basic fees we can either enter a cooperative arrangement to share the profits or, if you have sponsors in your pocket, you can take 100% of the income above the basic fee.

No Really, Can I Make Any Money on Channel 6?

If you watch TV you will see an average 30 minute program has at least 3 commercial “Blocks” averaging 3 minutes each (Okay so most are closer to 5 minutes - but we want to limit it to 3) that gives you 6 / 30-second commercials per block or 18 per half hour. We like to give our advertisers 2 commercials in a program, so that is a minimum of 9 advertisers per show.

Look at the rates and do some quick math. You’ll not get rich with Channel 6 but it’s not bad. You’re on air, and who knows when your show might be seen by that snowboarding agent from Hollywood.

Just remember to tell them you got your start on Channel 6 in Big Bear!

Maybe You Don’t Want To “Put On A Show”, But You DO Want To Get Involved.

A lot of Channel 6 is people who care about the community; see a need; and have a talent to help.

If you have something to contribute whether it’s artistic, technical, or business oriented, email or call the GM Now and get involved with BIG Bear’s ONLY local TV station.

Note: Some of the folks involved with Channel 6 DO earn a living through the station! As we continue to grow the number of those earning a living will too!
