When most people consider giving to support public broadcasting, they think of making a pledge and writing a check. We receive many generous gifts this way each year. But there are other ways people make a difference by supporting KVIE. A special giving program called Legacy Circle is an honorary way in which friends of KVIE can plan a bequest gift. Or, you may choose to a make a gift of stock, real estate, life insurance, or consider establishing a trust.

Other ways to give include asking your employer to enroll in our Matching Gifts Program, or by donating a used car, truck, boat, or motorcycle to our used vehicle program.

Browse through the Support section of our Web site for more details about each of these initiatives.

On-Air Underwriting Guidelines

Guidelines for On-Air Sponsor Messages
Credits of KVIE are intended as a way of thanking and identifying underwriters. In general, credits on public television maintain a noncommercial sound, in keeping with the noncommercial nature of public broadcasting.

KVIE can produce a spot for your organization or air and exisitng, preproduced spot. Most existing image or business brand spots are ideally suited for KVIE's unique low -clutter, highly credible environment. Those sponsor messages that do not meet FCC standards for public television may require minor changes.

Show a web site address
Show event dates and locations
Use music or sound effects identifying the company, people, and other voice-overs (Rights to music must be cleared first by client or agency)
Make an association between sponsor and program

Sponsor messages may not:

Use comparative or superlative language.

Use calls to action which direct the viewer to call, visit, try, or compare
