Mission

The California Broadcasters Association promotes customs and practices in the best interests of broadcasters and the publics they serve. The impetus of this mission rests in the belief that broadcasters play an essential role in their communities. Their powerful influence is given and guarded by the fundamental rights of this country and in return, each radio and television station must operate "in the public interest. Broadcasters offer a diverse range of general awareness and audience education, coordinate charitable events, donate to philanthropic organizations and causes and support local events. The California Broadcasters Association provides whatever assistance owners and station managers need to fulfill their duties to communities.

Program accomplishments

  • The California Broadcasters Association (State Association) has long maintained a Noncommercial Sustaining Announcement Program (NCSA Program). Under this program, member and nonmember radio and television stations in the state voluntarily donate air time that is made available, through the State Association, to governmental and not-for-profit organizations (NCSA Sponsors) for the airing of their messages (NCSA Announcements). Those NCSA Announcements generally afford state-wide coverage of a NCSA Sponsor's activities, events and programs which benefit the public at large. The NCSA Program is a major benefit to these governmental and not-for-profit NCSA Sponsors because the money paid by them represents but a fraction of the fair market value of the announcements if they had been purchased from stations. The money received from the NCSA Sponsors goes directly to the State Association and is used by the State Association for its tax-exempt purposes, including to foster better relations between the broadcast industry and governmental entities and nonprofit organizations, as well as to advance and strengthen the broadcast industry generally.
