Bringing Community Service Home Survey
Every two years, the National Association of Broadcasters partners with the broadcast state
associations to document the community service works of local television and radio stations
through a program entitled Local Broadcasters: Bringing Community Service Home.
The results from our past four surveys have helped the industry draw attention to a part of
broadcasters' work that few people even knew about or understood. To participate in the survey,
go to broadcastpublicservice.org website.
Also, don't forget to send the MAB your community service stories, quotes, photos and logos for
the MAB Community Service Survey Publication. Send to: MAB Community Service; 819 N.
Washington Ave., Lansing, MI 48906 or via email to mab@michmab.com.
