Sponsorship Program

The Oakland Communications Commission, the Oakland Television Committee (Oakland TV), and the Bulletin Board Committee are excited to announce a new Sponsorship Program for non-profits, businesses and residents alike. Through your sponsorship, the Communications Commission will be able to purchase new equipment, expand operations, improve the quality of our programs, and ensure that all of these things can be done without having to ask for additional tax money from the residents of Oakland to help pay for it. Supporting local access television and their work is important for freedom of speech, transparency in local government, emergency communications, keeping and maintaining an informed populace, ensuring there is outreach and communication with a diverse audience, and ensuring local organizations and nonprofits have additional outlets for their events and other content to be seen.

Completed sponsorship forms and sponsorship payment shall be submitted to: Borough of Oakland, ATTN: OCC Sponsorship Program, One Municipal Plaza, Oakland, NJ 07436, between August 20 & October 20 for a sponsorship that would be effective starting the following calendar year. Forms and payment submitted/received for the sponsorship program received between October 21 & December 10 shall also be accepted, but a $30.00 late fee will be added onto the sponsorship amount. No sponsorships will be accepted between December 11 & August 19 for the current or the next calendar year as we do not have the staffing (we are an all volunteer operation) to continually update the graphics for the sponsorship program throughout the year.

Sponsors that wish to have a logo seen as part of their sponsorship will be responsible for emailing the logo to the Television Committee in a format and a quality that the Committee deems acceptable for broadcast. Business sponsors will also be responsible for sending content or their pre-made TV Bulletin Board slides to the Bulletin Board Committee, and can send new slides to be aired at maximum once per quarter.
