Launch a Cable Campaign

What is a Cable Campaign?

PROCEDURE
A cable executive has recommended this procedure for encouraging your local cable company to carry GBN. This process already has proven successful: after just a brief letter-writing campaign, Dalton Utilities/Optilink agreed to include GBN in its slate of networks.

Locate the contact information for your local cable company, i.e.; contact name, address, and if possible a phone number and email.

• After worship service Sunday morning, ask everyone to remain seated while postage paid postcards and/or envelopes with paper are distributed to the members of the audience. Each person is asked to write a short personal note requesting that the Gospel Broadcasting Network, based in Ringgold GA., be carried by the person’s local servicing cable provider. If one is not a current customer, it’s fine to state our local cable system because it is theirs whether they subscribe or not. If you live in the viewing area you are a potential subscriber.
• Men assigned the task then take up the postcards and notes for mailing. The requests are not mailed all at once—perhaps, 25% of the total number each week for four weeks.
• The congregation repeats the above procedure monthly until the cable company responds favorably—that is, with a request of GBN for coordinates to receive the satellite signal for broadcast.

PERSISTENCE IS THE KEY
