Corporate Sponsorships Director
Bruse Spotleson
A listicle about Corporate
Sponsorships
sponsorship and support Director
W
hether it’s Facebook, a website or a magazine, lists are showing up every-
where in today’s world. In fact, they are so ubiquitous that there’s now even
a word applied to themed or topical content when it’s presented in a list-type
format. Such content is called a “listicle.”
In a salute to this popular trend, and with credit to Nielsen Research and PBS Development
Services data where indicated, here’s a listicle from our Development Department.
The Top 10 reasons to sponsor a television program on Vegas PBS:
10. KLVX Channel 10 and PBS KIDS channels are the most popular local daytime viewing
channels for households with children under the age of 11. And it’s not just the kids who are
watching. In almost 70 percent of these households, adult

valued, our sponsors actually are perceived as providing an important community service,

Story of the Horse
6. Viewers watch Vegas PBS attentively. For our viewers, the television set is rarely “just
on in the background.” This means effective sponsor exposure to our audience.
AND
5. Our viewers appreciate that we run far fewer sponsor messages per hour than commer- Finding Your Roots
cial stations do, and that we never break into programming for an announcement. Less mes-
saging “clutter” leads to higher retention rates for the messages we do air.
4. Viewers are especially loyal to our sponsors. When other criteria are equal, our viewers
prefer to buy goods or a service from Vegas PBS sponsors. (PBS Sponsorship Study, 2015)
3. We have a policy of “category exclusivity.” Individuals, organizations or companies that
sponsor one of our programs won’t bump into another sponsor from their industry or share
sponsor credit with another individual or family.
2. Our corporate sponsors are seen as trustworthy industry leaders. An association with us
reflects in an unusually positive way on our supporters. (PBS Sponsorship Study, 2015)
1. It’s the right thing to do.
Whatever your reason, we will of course welcome the support.
