Sponsoring a TV show for.... SI?

>And would get us 15 minutes of air before and after the show, which is plenty.

For what? I've looked at their website and can't make the connection.

The show is still a huge success in Canada. It's been on air since the early 1990's and going strong. I didn't even realize they exported it into the States. I thought the only reason we get it here is because were on Canadian cable due to geography and receive it on CBC not PBS.

Sponsorship might be cheaper if you're able to go through CBC but that likely would only cover Canadian audiences, plus my unique location in WA. A loony or a twonie would probably cover it. If you're limiting sponsorship to KC and St. Louis, you're missing a large target audience. Go for Canada. They invest too, I understand. Heh.

Bob,

have you considered getting some sort of product placement? it would be interesting to see a banner or something tacked onto a wall or perhaps on the side of Red's van.
