Sponsorship

Become a TVW Program Sponsor

Program Sponsors help bring depth and perspective to important statewide issues.

Our Program Sponsors appreciate the critical role TVW plays in covering state government and producing complimentary programming that promotes a healthy and robust public discourse, increases civic access and engagement, and fosters a more informed citizenry.

TVW Program Sponsors help provide the resources to produce award-winning documentaries, series, specials and educational programming. Our Program Sponsors also benefit from significant recognition on-air and on-line.

  • Over 2 million page views were recorded on tvw.org during the first quarter of 2024 and that number only grows each year.
  • More than 3.5 million Washington residents can watch TVW through their local cable provider.
  • Additional non-cable TV households statewide are able to watch TVW programs on commercial and Public Television stations.

TVW’s core audience includes lawmakers, legislative staff, agency heads, lobbyists, and local business/community leaders.

TVW Program Sponsors are able to frequently highlight their mission and message(s) to this audience while identifying with the respected TVW brand of comprehensive, unbiased coverage.

TVW Sponsorship Guiding Principles

At TVW, editorial independence is the cornerstone of our commitment to the public. We provide unedited coverage of state government proceedings and produce enriching and enlightening programs that serve the needs of our viewers, free from any external influence. This unwavering commitment to impartiality ensures the highest quality content and builds unwavering trust with our audience.

Sponsorships are an important part of our self-sufficiency, but sponsor messages must never compromise our integrity or commitment to impartiality.

Content Neutrality

  • Sponsor messaging should focus solely on introducing the sponsor, their work, and the communities they serve. 
  • Explicit product or service promotion is strictly prohibited. 
  • Sponsors must avoid messaging advocates for specific policies or sways viewers through calls to action. 
  • Testimonials, comparisons, and superlatives have no place in sponsorship statements as they can introduce subjectivity. 
  • Mentions of prices, discounts, or promotions are also inappropriate, as our focus is on public service, not commercial gain.
