Be Seen & Be Heard!

Community Voice is a partnership between Alaska broadcasters and organizations working to serve our communities.

The Alaska Broadcasters Association’s Community Voice NCSA Program helps government agencies and nonprofit organizations reach audiences across Alaska through radio and television.

Participating ABA stations voluntarily provide available airtime for Community Voice campaigns. For campaigns running three months or longer, ABA guarantees a minimum 3-to-1 return in airtime value—meaning every $1 invested generates at least $3 worth of broadcast airtime.

How Community Voice Works

Sponsors provide their completed radio or television spots, and ABA handles distribution and communication with participating stations. Campaigns can be tailored to meet specific needs, including:

  • Statewide or regional coverage
  • Television-only or radio-only campaigns
  • Targeted geographic areas
  • Flexible schedules and budgets

While specific placement times cannot be guaranteed, stations are asked to provide the best available airtime for Community Voice messages.

Accountability

At the conclusion of a campaign, ABA provides a detailed report documenting the number of spots aired, their total airtime value, and station affidavits showing when and where the messages aired.

To qualify for Community Voice, sponsors must not have purchased paid radio or television advertising for the same campaign during the preceding year. Sponsors are responsible for producing their spots, although ABA can help connect organizations with production resources.

Supporting Alaska Broadcasting

Community Voice does more than deliver important public-service messages. Revenue generated through the program supports ABA programs and services that strengthen Alaska broadcasting and the communities our stations serve.
