Hi Rick, Meredith, Rose, and Paul,

My name is Nina and I’m calling from KOMO TV –Northwest Afternoon. I found your out about your event on the Seattle Networking Events website, and I wanted to see if you would be interested in doing a free public service announcement for your April 14 Auction to get the word out about the event. If you are interested please give me a call back at 206-404-4305. I look forward to hearing from you! Thanks!

Here is some more information about the public service announcements and what it entails.

PSA INFORMATION:

FREE ADVERTISING!!!

Greetings from Northwest Afternoon and komo 4! Would you like to spread the word to up to 1.5 million people in the Western Washington region about your upcoming event or about the services your organization provides without spending a dime?

We at komo 4 invite non-profit organizations and charity groups from around the community to air a FREE 15 second public service announcement on the Northwest’s #1 ranked talk show Northwest Afternoon.

To be eligible to record a promotional spot on Northwest Afternoon, you must first reserve a space for your PSA to run. Call us and we will select a day that is best for advertising your event. (Space is limited, so call as far in advance as possible to book your spot.) All we ask in exchange for the 15 seconds of FREE advertising is that your group bring a minimum of 15 people for our studio audience the day the PSA airs. One member of your group should be selected as the spokesperson to star in your spot. That individual will pre-record your group’s announcement on the set of Northwest Afternoon. The PSA will then run during the show, like a commercial.

Throughout the past years, we have received countless emails from groups that have seen the success of their group’s events and fundraiser increase dramatically after airing a PSA:

Dear NWA:
"It was truly our pleasure to be apart of NWA. We just closed-out our Women's Conference yesterday. The conference was a huge success. I am thoroughly convinced that the public announcements you allowed our group to make increased attendance this year, significantly. We would love to come back, with or without an announcement to make, and be apart of the audience".

Our show is a wonderful experience for all ages! Northwest Afternoon has won numerous Emmy awards and is the Northwest’s #1 ranked television show at 3:00PM with up to 1.5 million viewers. Take part in the action behind-the-scenes of our live talk show; meet our hosts Kent Phillips (from Kent and Alan in the morning on Star 101.5FM), Natasha Curry (Komo4 news anchor) and Cindi Rinehart (Queen of Soaps); and interact with our guests on the topic of the day!

In addition to coming down for a PSA, we invite you to tell your friends about the opportunity to be audience members on our show any day Monday through Friday. Our tickets are absolutely FREE, and our hosts love it when groups of people come to the show as you provide them with such energy and enthusiasm. We ask members of our studio audience to arrive at 9:00 AM.

We look forward to the opportunity to entertain and help promote your event or organization. To book a spot for your group or if you would like more details about this opportunity please call Nemesia (206) 404-4945 or Nina at (206) 404-4305.

Thanks!

Nina Nguyen
