Underwriting

If you are a business owner or manager, you know that television advertising is ordinarily very expensive. Did you know that a partnership through underwriting with CTV would cost very little?

By providing a cash donation (or merchandise) for our annual Holiday Gift Auction, you can take advantage of several opportunities to promote your business throughout the year.

CTV reaches a viewing audience that includes more than 100,000 households throughout Knox County. We are a favorite among residents who enjoy local programming produced by local residents. In addition, our website presence reaches out to the entire world!
