Frequently Asked Question:
How is Underwriting different than Advertising?
The FCC's original vision of non-commercial broadcasting called for a service totally divorced from commercial enterprise. This was to keep public broadcasting from being unduly influenced by the commercial marketplace while continuing to expand public service options, programming choices and First Ammendment right of public stations.
In order to encourage support for the non-commercial station but also protect it, the FCC opted to allow value -neutral descriptive material as part of donor announcements. These are called underwriting announcements and must abide by the criteria set out by the FCC or face strict penalties.
Advertising is considered a promotional announcement that is descriptive, qualitative and contains a direct call to action with regard to the product or organization.
