Through TAB's Public Education Program (PEP), broadcasters throughout the state donate airtime for special issues. The commercials are sold to qualified not-for-profit and government organizations at sharp discounts.
At the recent TAB convention in Murfreesboro, TAB Chairman Dan Barron of Entercom Communications in Memphis said,"Listening and viewing across Tennessee for local radio and television remains more relatable, more community-focused, and more human than ever. The latest data shows the connection for the TAB's PEP initiative and public outreach is made stronger in a way that isn't replicated by any other media".
Revenue from the PEP program enables the TAB to provide services that strengthen communities and broadcasters as well as help stations operate in the public interest, according to TAB President Whit Adamson. TAB's PEP revenue helps subsidize professional training, scholarships, internships, regulatory compliance programs and other initiatives that serve the industry and every Tennessee community.
Said Barron,"My group of stations is committed to participating in this program, as are most of the stations across Tennessee."
