VStar Radio Network
may have a solution.
The unthinkable has happened.
In less than 90 days, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting
will cease operations.
Are you prepared?
Most of us aren't.
Many stations in smaller markets - the very ones that listeners
depend on for local news and information - are reluctantly preparing to dismiss their journalists.
Without network programming, some stations may not survive at all.
Creative, affordable measures (perhaps even desperate measures)
are needed to avoid the worst-case scenario.
VStar Radio Network has developed a proven, affordable programming schedule that can provide significant, listener value able to raise operating funds to pay for local news and information.
With a lineup of proven listener favorites, the VStar network not only delivers unique programming but can also provide member stations with ongoing, in-person fund drive support.
The program block repeats in an eight hour-cycle allowing each station to selectively choose the programs that balance their local needs and interests. Time-shifting can enable you to continue airing highly desirable NPR programming where your audience expects them.
The increased listener support you can expect from VStar programs can be used to help your station retain critical news and information staffers.
VStar is conceived by the same innovators that turned a 10-watt, student-run FM station into America's largest privately owned public radio network. Now, those same creative minds turn their experience, passion and talents to a new mission .. to provide a lifeline for stations that may find themselves on the brink.
Proven programming can raise funds to bridge the gap.
