This presentation outlines the opportunities available for organizations who are willing to underwrite some of the elements of School Tools this year.

2. In 1990 WSOC-TV began an outreach project to
reflect the purpose of our station call letters, “We
Serve Our Community.” Our mission was to work
together with civic-minded underwriters to help
members of our community deal with various
problems facing families.
Since our commitment began, hundreds of charities
and millions of viewers have benefited from the
exposure that “Family Focus” has given to the
causes and issues that affect today’s families.
The WSOC-TV “Family Focus” program is a
comprehensive public service campaign that supports
major charitable causes, family-issue programming
and family-oriented events while providing its partners
with maximum exposure for their community
commitment.
In January 2010 WSOC-TV’s “Family Focus” will
begin its 20th year of using the power of television
and internet to educate and inform our community
about how to create a stronger family unit.
Mission

3. Because this program impacts so many facets of this community, the
support of our underwriters is paramount. Along with Channel 9, our
partners share in the responsibility of designing this highly acclaimed
program. This includes financial support as well as open discussion to
determine the family issues that need to be addressed.
The on-air and on-line promotion of these specific, family-oriented
issues offers a unique co-branding opportunity with WSOC-TV,
Charlotte’s top rated television station for news for eighteen (18) years
running. It allows tremendous visibility for your company’s civic
participation unlike any other program in the Carolinas.
Our Underwriters
WSOC-TV commits resources
within our television and
online properties to maximize
the reach and effectiveness of
the “Family Focus” project,
and we are proud to invite
your business to join us in our
efforts for 2010.

4. Throughout the entire year “Family Focus
underwriters are involved in various high-
profile community projects and events that
support the family and the community.
Major Projects
Combined, the major projects of “Family
Focus” provided the underwriters with over
2,800 HH GRPs of Public Service
Announcements last year.
These projects are opportunities for our
underwriters to be recognized for their role in
improving our community. Each project in the
program is supported by 4-6 weeks of on-air
and on-line promotion, and each underwriter
receives individual video and audio sponsor
recognition tags that rotate equally.

2010 Plan

6. “School Tools” is conducted in cooperation with
Communities In Schools, Classroom Central, the North and
South Carolina National Guard and local businesses. School
supplies are collected throughout the month of August, then
are given to students in grades K-12 who need them. This
project has grown from serving 5,000 children in 1997 to
more than 100,000 children in 2009.
Overview
“Carolinas’ Outstanding Graduates” is a project that recognizes an
outstanding graduating senior from each high school in our 22 county
market. They are invited to enjoy a fun-filled day (last year at the
Levine Museum of the New South) and are honored through PSAs that
run on WSOC-TV Channel 9. This campaign takes place in May –
June.

• Deep discounts for family entertainment events
Advantages to our Partners
“Family Focus” consolidates the public affairs commitment of its partners for maximum impact and
exposure:
• Corporate logo placement in partnership with well-recognized “Family Focus” brand in WSOC-TV’s
top-rated newscasts and on Charlotte’s #1 broadcast media website
• Support of more causes than possible individually

The “Family Focus” project is a turn-key campaign that requires little work from our corporate partners to
