We make acquiring an underwriter almost effortless:
• Second, a business owner is easily convinced. He knows that, in PBS 39’s weathercast:
1. His business’s logo will be seen:o By many people, because weather is a big draw.o On a full-screen billboard for 3-5 seconds at both the
beginning and end of the weathercast.o On every graphic in-between those billboards.
2. He can include more info (consider upcharging), like:o A slogano Contact info (phone #, website, Facebook/Twitter)o Location and store hours
