| Here
are some important reasons to support Channel 9: |
| • |
About 90 cents of every dollar
Channel 9 spends is generated right here in the St. Louis region.
Financial support from individuals makes up almost half of every
dollar we spend, while corporations and foundations contribute
the majority of the rest. Contrary to popular belief,
only about 10 cents per dollar comes from government funding. |
| • |
Your gift directly supports local
programming on Channel 9. From Donnybrook to Living
St. Louis, your support helps us chronicle our history,
create public dialogue and showcase local talent and cultures. |
| • |
Every dollar you
give today may help a little boy or girl somewhere in our community
learn to read a new word tomorrow through our educational programming
and outreach efforts. |
| • |
Your support tells us that you
like and value our programming. KETC spends about $4 million
a year to pay for the national programs on our air. Your contribution
directly supports our efforts in obtaining the best programs
available. |
| • |
By giving to Channel 9, you are
helping to bring thoughtful, educational and culturally stimulating
programs to the St. Louis region. |
| • |
Your support helps us purchase
programs like: Sesame Street, Great Performances,
Mister Rogers Neighborhood, Wall $treet Week, Clifford the
Big Red Dog, Masterpiece Theatre, Keeping Up Appearances,
Nova, Arthur, Nature, Between the Lions, This Old
House, The NewsHour With Jim Lehrer, and American Experience.
|
| • |
Each month about 70 percent of
the people in our region watch Channel 9 at one time or another.
Yet a far smaller percentage gives to pay for the programming
they enjoy. When you give, you become part of a very special
group of members who are willing to ensure the future of this
station. |
| • |
As a member of Channel 9, you
will receive great perks, like KETC
Guide, our award-winning bi-monthly magazine. Discover additional
benefits. |
| • |
Because KETC has expanded into
digital technology, we have increased our programming and educational
services. Your gift will help us pay for high-quality technologies.
|
| • |
Joining Channel 9 is easy. Your
gift can be made in installments, paid on a credit card, or
donated in the form of stock certificates. In fact, there are
more than 10 different ways you can give to KETC. |
| • |
By joining Channel 9, you are
showing businesses and foundations in the St. Louis region that
KETC is important for the community. Your support encourages
increased giving from corporations. |
