IRS990/Desc0WABS Educational Broadcasting will operate as a 24 hour full service public radio station that will broadcast an array of programming that serves the listening needs of its audience. As an affiliate of National Public Radio (NPR) it will broadcast such popular news and cultural programs as Morning Edition, All Things Considered, Talk of the Nation and the ED Gordon Show.

Our goal at WABS Educational Broadcasting is to provide the community with radio programming that challenges, enriches, informs, educates and entertains while reflecting cultural and intellectual diversity. We will encourage hands-on community participation in WABS Educational Broadcasting by offering scholarships to local students who wish to pursue a career in communication and services broadcasting. Students will receive instruction from industry professionals and will be encouraged to produce their own programs covering such topics as news, sports, weather, politics, culture, health and religious affairs.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0Underwriting Underwriting is the term used to describe on-air announcements about corporate and retail businesses and non-profit organizations, their services and events. There are strict guidelines governing the use of underwriting on public radio, credits must be value neutral, non-political, must not make a call to action and must include a statement of support for the radio station. At WABS Educational Broadcasting our marketing efforts will focus on communicating the opportunities and benefits associated with our underwriting services to corporations, small businesses, clubs and associations, community organizations and individuals in the Montgomery metro area. The benefits of underwriting with WABS Educational Broadcasting will include - Fewer and shorter breaks than commercial radio, which reduces clutter and allows the message to reach the audience Loyal members and listeners, 80% of whom prefer to buy products from companies that support public radio Access to listeners who are driven to learn more, to earn more, to spend more and to be more involved in their communities An easy cost effective way to demonstrate good corporate citizenship on a consistent basis Grants WABS Educational Broadcasting is providing a vital community service to the Montgomery metro area. It's location within the Enterprise Community and Empowerment Zone makes it eligible for grants from state and federal agencies and also from private foundations and educational establishments. WABS Educational Broadcasting will work with grant writers on a contract basis to help us identify and apply for private and government grants that are relevant to and that support the mission of our corporation. Membership The support of its listeners in the form of membership contributions is critical to the success of WABS Educational Broadcasting. Membership growth is a key component of our marketing strategy and to be successful we must - Create value of membership to encourage potential members to join Build awareness of WABS Educational Broadcasting and the value of membership with the public through information, education and community involvement. Benefits of membership will include programming credits, special discounts for the purchase of WABS Educational Broadcasting merchandise and also discounts for local area businesses and services. The fundamental benefit of membership will be the knowledge that they are part of a dedicated group that has made a commitment to quality radio broadcasting.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc0We will use the following marketing tools to maximize our fundraising efforts to encourage membership growth and to raise awareness of our broadcasting service among local businesses and community organizations. On-Air Fundraising like direct marketing seeks an immediate response from the audience. Our on-air fundraising messages will Be designed to strike a resonance with our listener's ideas and needs. Reach our listeners through repeat messages that resonate with the listeners in creative and engaging ways. Be information-rich providing listeners with important facts on our organization and our goals Call and Response This involves using a team of volunteers to make pledge calls to target corporations, small businesses, non-profit organizations, foundations and individuals. We recognize that our volunteers will represent WABS Educational Broadcasting to contributors and so will ensure that all of our volunteers are properly trained and oriented to make the most of each pledge call. Each pledge call will give the potential donor "options" for pledging rather than being steered in a particular way Transactions will be simple and to the point Each pledge is important and every dollar makes a difference. Each contributor will be thanked and a follow-up letter sent to reinforce this. Print Advertising Traditional print Advertising will be used by WABS Educational Broadcasting in two scenarios. First, as we launch our new broadcasting service we will use direct mail advertising during the launch to drive immediate awareness to our potential market. Second, we will use print advertising in the form of periodic company newsletters and brochures to educate, inform and update our contributors on services provided, membership benefits, sponsorship opportunities and to thank them for supporting us. Our print advertising will reinforce our message that WABS Educational Broadcasting is their community station and that their support is critical to its continued success. Pricing Listeners give to public radio stations because programming is important to them and they want to help sustain that programming. How much listeners are willing to contribute to a station, however, changes quite a bit depending on the demographic profile, economic conditions and the nature of the audience. At WABS Educational Broadcasting we will encourage listeners to "give what you can afford" we believe that by adopting this approach we are acknowledging to our listeners that each and every pledge is important to us, we want them to be comfortable with their decision to give and we want them to know that movement is possible in either direction - higher or lower - from the pledge levels suggested.
