ABA MEMBERS ONLY

With PEP (Public Education Partnership) your agency or organization can reach people throughout Alabama easily and cost-effectively. Your non-political, non-controversial message is broadcast by ABA-member radio and TV stations in all parts of the state at a fraction of the cost of buying airtime in a single market.

PEP Benefits:

Reach all demographic groups
Be seen and heard in all time slots and formats
Be broadcast by major radio and TV stations in the state

Eligibility Requirements:

A government agency or a federal tax exempt, not for profit organization
You may not have used paid broadcast advertising within the past 12 months
You must have a non-political, non-controversial message in the public interest

PUBLIC FILE COVER SHEETS

Did you know that the same PEP spots which support the programs of the Alabama Broadcasters Association are also considered Issues and Programs material for your Public File?

All you need to do is attach a copy of your affidavits to the appropriate report and file it.

We are providing a SAMPLE for use with any public service campaigns you might run in addition to PEP spots. You will also find a blank copy of the form for your purposes.

In addition, we are including examples of radio and TV affidavits which include all the information you would need to report. If you are not producing affidavits in this manner, you might consider doing so for your Public File. In our examples, the ABA has been established as an "advertiser" with the individual PEP partners having their own affidavit each month.

The PEP program allows us to keep membership dues low and offer more benefits to member stations.

Thank you for supporting the ABA by running PEP spots. Please make sure you get the credit for doing so by sending the affidavits to the ABA office in a timely manner. Just as you report to the FCC, we report to our PEP partners.
