Why Sponsor BCMC?
Locality!
Bowie has grown from a small railroad stop to the largest municipality in Prince George’s County, and the fifth most populous and third-largest city by area in the state of Maryland. In 2014, CNN Money ranked Bowie 28th on its Best Places to Live in America list.
Prince George’s County residents can view BCMC programming and content on Xfinity and YouTube.
More visible exposure for you and your business!
Your business name and logo should be recognized as an important, integral part of our community. The number of Bowie and Prince George’s County households accessible through BCMC is approximately 75,000.
We also have the Bowie TV YouTube channel and Facebook pages. Some of our shows have their own YouTube channels and Facebook pages. Anyone with cable TV or phone, tablet, and/or computer with internet access can watch! Your business will benefit by leaps and bounds by sponsoring BCMC, as promotional spots are placed at the end of the selected program. Each spot is produced by BCMC in cooperation with the sponsor and will include company name, logo, and website. As another option, sponsors can have an on-camera appearance featuring a company representative, if desired, explaining how your business supports BCMC.
Your Sponsorship of BCMC demonstrates your business’ commitment to the local community!
Please keep in mind that BCMC is here to serve the public, as we want to engage in and empower greater citizen participation in the process of producing quality local television programming and media content. BCMC serves as a one-stop community outreach and information resource utilized and watched by many throughout Bowie and Prince George’s county. From educational programs to health-related series, candidate debates, or even coverage of local parades, BCMC has clearly demonstrated our support for our local content producers and viewers. We are here to serve the public, and we want to engage and empower greater citizen participation in the process of producing local television programming and media content.
Local content production has nearly all the same technical needs and requirements as our commercial counterparts. Our services are strictly non-profit. Our budgetary challenges are much greater than those of commercial television, as we must train and equip staff all qualified residents who want to produce television and media content programming.
The size and budgetary abilities of Community Access operations across the country vary, and since the late 1990s, BCMC has managed to provide the best possible service with the resources available. A daunting task on severely limited funds. While traditional methods of funding Public Access exist, such as government grants, additional financial support for BCMC is needed.
Investing in Public Access is simply re-investing in your community and helping provide the opportunity for greater achievement for all.
Call (301.814.3057) or e-mail (info@bcmctv.org) to discuss sponsorship options.
Thank you for your interest in BCMC.
