Our Approach
Mission
Advancing learning and discovery through storytelling that
profoundly touches people’s lives.
We bring the world to Hawaii and Hawaii to the world.
Building rewarding partnerships that help make a difference in the community drives everything
we do at PBS Hawaii. Program sponsorship is by way of a charitable, tax-deductible donation
to PBS Hawaii, a 501c(3) local tax-exempt organization. There is shared success when:
Sponsorship packages are structured according to your needs and expectations.
We listen, rather than tell you, the goal for sponsorship.
PBS Hawaii’s unique value proposition is understood and effectively leveraged in sponsor
messages to achieve desired objectives.

PBS /FCC RULES
On-Air Sponsorship Credits
PBS Hawaii has established guidelines for corporate sponsor credits that protect public television’s
noncommercial character and comply with Federal Communications Commission (FCC) rules and
Congressional mandates.
Important objectives of PBS Hawaii guidelines are to ensure that:
(a) editorial control of programming remains in the hands of the producer;
(b) funding arrangements do not create the perception that editorial control has been exercised by someone
other than the producer, or that the program has been inappropriately influenced by its funding sources
(c) the noncommercial character of public broadcasting is protected and preserved.
FCC rules require noncommercial broadcasters to “fully and fairly disclose the true identity” of all program
funders. From the Commission’s standpoint, the purpose served by sponsor credits is to identify the funder in
the interest of full disclosure, not to promote the funder or its products or services.
While specific requirements and rulings are outlined in this section, the FCC has indicated that it will rely on the
good faith determination of public broadcasters to interpret and meet Federal standards.
SPONSOR NAME OR LOGO
All sponsors must be identified in video by their name and/or logo. If a
logo by itself does not adequately disclose the identity of a funder, then
the funder’s name must be stated in audio or video.
ADDITIONAL IDENTIFYING INFORMATION
Besides identifying the funder clearly by name and/or logo (as required
above), a credit may contain additional information in audio, video, or
both, to help identify a funder. Any language that in PBS Hawaii’s
judgment is gratuitously or blatantly promotional is not acceptable. In
addition, information that would appear to be self‐congratulatory or that
could be construed as an advocacy position on a particular issue or subject
will not be acceptable.
UNACCEPTABLE ELEMENTS
FCC policy statements, rulings, advisory opinions and letters applying its
rules and policies to specific sponsor announcements have cautioned
against the use of certain types of languages, phrases, and visuals, such as
the following, which it deems promotional:
• Call to action (e.g., “come in today and take a test drive”);
• Superlative description or qualitative claim about the company, its
products, or its services (e.g., “the most intelligent car ever built”);
• Direct comparison with other companies, or with other companies’
products or services;
• Price or value information (e.g., “only $160 down and $160 per
month,” or “7.7% interest rate available now,” “affordable,”
“discount,” or “free”);
• Inducements to buy, sell, rent, or lease (e.g., “six months’ free service
when you buy,” or “guaranteed for life”);
• Endorsements (e.g., “recommended by 4 out of 5 doctors for
headache pain”);
• Demonstrations of consumer satisfaction.
ACCEPTABLE ELEMENTS
The following types of additional identifying information are acceptable,
according to FCC statements:
√ Value neutral descriptions of a product line or service
√ Brand and trade names and product or service listings
√ Location information, including telephone numbers and Web addresses
√ Logograms or slogans which identify and do not promote
*Slogans or corporate positioning statements are evaluated in the same
way as any other identifying information. The degree to which a slogan is
an established part of an sponsor’s identity will also be taken into account.
Inevitably, no set of rules or guidelines can anticipate every use or possible
combination of creative elements that constitutes a sponsor credit. In
evaluating a proposed sponsor message, PBS Hawaii will consider FCC
decisions as well as elements of the creative content which can affect the
overall tone and character of an sponsor announcement.
EDITORIAL STANDARDS
PBS Hawaii’s funding standards and policies require producers to provide
full and complete disclosure of all funders and financial arrangements,
written and oral.
The following review is then applied before a program is accepted for
broadcast:
• Editorial Control Test. Has the funder exercised editorial control? Could it?
• Perception Test. Might the public perceive that the sponsor has exercised editorial control?
• Commercialism Test. Might the public conclude the program is on television principally because it promotes the sponsor’s products, services or other business interest?
The station’s policies regarding editorial decision‐making is framed with the
understanding and commitment that public broadcasting bears a deep and
significant responsibility to the public. PBS Hawaii remains mindful that the
editorial decisions it makes every day are in discharge of that responsibility.
