VO-BB - 20 YEARS OLD!

Hello Gang,

I have been asked to quote a price on the folowing:

10 sec tag for a 60 sec spot on Nationwide PBS Broadcast during pledge week in December.

This is a one-time buy out. This would be my first nationwide gig. I've done regional and local spots/tags, but am not quite sure what to quote for a Notional job.

Any advice on developing a price would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I did a juicy job like that not too very long ago.
T'was Canada, mind you...and union.
$1,800.

So....howzabout a cool $1,000?

Thanks Robert...This is not a union job.

It should be!

For national exposure, make a high call.
Robert's direction is good.

So, let's say it's non union. I still think you should look up the union rate and use that as your pricing guide. Remember, scale is a floor, not a ceiling!

In the context of the quote, "Scale" is the minimum fee for which an artist should work and therefore refers to an amount of money not the fabric of a building (interior). As such the nomination for "Quote of the day" is inappropriate. Sorry about that Peter.

Call your area AFTRA office and get the rate, then figure out what you want to do.

i'm glad philip is back ... i've been going through the day without that feeling of utter confusion that i often get after his posts.

to paraphrase so many of the women i dated in the past, "it's not you, philip, it's me."

This is no help at all probably, but our local PBS station pays a whopping $50 for those short sponsorship reads they run before and after shows they present locally.

Bruce,

Thankfully, the one I did that runs nationally before and after Curious George every day paid a fair number of multiples more than that. Smile
