Event policy

Please review our event policy and submit your event below! One of our most important missions here at WBach is to serve Williamsburg with a truly local medium. This includes our commitment to constantly improving our news gathering and reporting, our involvement in the community, and our support of local non-profit and charitable events and organizations (NPCEO's). The following policies have been developed to insure that we can complete this mission in a manner that is both effective and fair. Newspaper vs. Radio In general, newspapers give little or no free space to NPCEO's, but instead charge their non-profit rate for advertising. Often times, NPCEO's hope or expect that, because the newspaper made them pay, the radio station will provide advertising as a public service. The reality is that we, just like the newspaper, have hard costs; and we would be out of business if we provided advertising to all of the NPCEO's seeking our support. However, WBach will almost always provide some form of added value that is simply not available from the newspapers. Added Value Depending on the level of advertising investment by the NPCEO, the current status of our promotional calendar, and the promotional 'fit' of the NPCEO with the station or stations, WBach may be willing or able to provide some or all of the following:

• Bonus commercials.
• On-air calendar event mentions.
• Radio interviews with NPCEO officials.
• Donation of Bach prizes to the NPCEO.
• Co-sponsorship of the NPCEO.
• Live promotion at the venue of the NPCEO
with promotional support and personalities.

Our Policy We think you will agree that our policy for supporting NPCEO's is both simple and fair-minded: 1. The NPCEO agrees to spend the equivalent amount of cash or more with the radio station that it does with the newspaper. 2. WBach will write and produce advertisements for the NPCEO at no charge; and air them at a non-profit rate. 3. WBach will, in addition, generate a list of added value options in which the NPCEO may participate based on the criteria listed above. We can assure you, if you choose to partner with this local medium, our entire staff will work very hard toward the successful achievement of your NPCEO's goals.
