Underwriting Opportunities at DOMUnderwriting Opportunities at DOM


Denver Open Media provides two types of underwriting opportunities for individuals and organizations who would like to support programming on the station: block underwriting and program-specific underwriting.

Block UnderwritingBlock Underwriting


Deproduction/Denver Open Media is the exclusive solicitor of underwriting for programming blocks. Basic underwriting programs include recognition at the beginning and end of the programming block, with a minimum of 6 total on-air recognitions weekly on Channel 56 and a minimum of two on-air recognitions weekly on Channel 57 (pending. based on programming schedule). Block underwriting is 100 percent tax deductible, with 100 percent of block underwriting funds going to Deproduction/Denver Open Media, not to producers of the shows within the block. More information on this type of underwriting can be found here.

Producers of individual programs are permitted to solicit underwriting support/sponsorship for their shows. Deproduction/Denver Open Media will provide underwriting materials for the producers to present to potential sponsors, stipulating the terms of the underwriting agreement. Program underwriting is 100 percent tax-deductible as a donation to Deproduction, a Colorado-based 501c3, with 75 percent of the funds going directly to the show's producer and 25 percent going to cover Deproduction/Denver Open Media's operating costs.
