| IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc | 0 | THE MASSACHUSETTS BROADCASTERS ASSOCIATION, INC. HAS LONG MAINTAINED A NONCOMMERCIAL SUSTAINING ANNOUNCEMENT PROGRAM ("NCSA PROGRAM"). UNDER THIS PROGRAM, MEMBER AND NONMEMBER RADIO AND TELEVISION STATIONS IN THE STATE VOLUNTARILY DONATE AIR TIME THAT IS MADE AVAILABLE, THROUGH THE STATE ASSOCIATION, TO GOVERNMENTAL AND NOT FOR PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS ("NCSA SPONSORS") FOR THE AIRING OF THEIR MESSAGES ("NCSA ANNOUNCEMENTS"). THOSE NCSA ANNOUNCEMENTS GENERALLY AFFORD STATE WIDE COVERAGE OF THE NCSA SPONSOR'S ACTIVITIES, EVENTS, AND PROGRAMS WHICH BENEFIT THE PUBLIC AT LARGE. THE NCSA PROGRAM IS A MAJOR BENEFIT TO THESE GOVERNMENTAL AND NOT FOR PROFIT NCSA SPONSORS BECAUSE THE COSTS PAID FOR THESE SPOTS REPRESENT ONLY A FRACTION OF THEIR FAIR MARKET VALUE IF THEY HAD BEEN PURHCASED DIRECTLY FROM THE STATIONS. THE MONEY RECEIVED FROM NCSA SPONSORS GOES TO THE STATE ASSOCIATION AND IS USED BY THE STATE ASSOCIATION FOR ITS TAX-EXEMPT PURPOSE, INCLUDING FOSTERING BETTER RELATIONS BETWEEN THE BROADCAST INDUSTRY AND GOVERNMENTAL ENTITES AND NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS, AS WELL AS GENERALLY ADVANCING AND STRENGTHENING THE BROADCAST INDUSTRY. ON A YEARLY BASIS, AN AVERAGE OF SIXTY FIVE RADIO AND TELEVISION STATIONS THROUGHOUT THE STATE PARTICIPATE IN THE ASSOCIATION. |
