Public Service Announcements

Public service announcements are short informational programs (30 seconds to 1 minute) that explain the services, events or information that organizations would like the public to know about. AFTV5 helps these organizations develop a script, shoot and edit the PSA. The result is a professional looking piece that will inform viewers and invite them to contact the organization for more information.
Training and Workshops

AFTV5 offers a variety of training and workshops including free monthly Orientations to get members of the community on their way to working on their own shows and exploring the latest electronic communications applications. Workshops are taught by staff and other professionals in the television and technology industries.

Value Added Services

AFTV5’s mission is to provide the means and training for the public to produce non-commercial programs or P.S.A.s but we realize that not everyone has the time or the staff to take advantage of these resources in the same way. Value-Added Services fill this gap by providing a service to the non-profit community at a reasonable rate for the production of a project. The cost is calculated at an hourly rate for staff time and use of the facility. This is an alternative for non-profit organizations that have money in their budget for publicity or outreach or are willing to write a grant that covers the cost of renting the studio and hiring the station to produce a particular program for them.

These services are by request and are worked into the calendar year around other priorities. The summer is generally the most available time for project production. Proposals are accepted at any time of the year.
