Mission and programs · 2025

• THE TENNESSEE ASSOCIATION OF BROADCASTERS (THE "ASSOCIATION") HAS LONG MAINTAINED A NONCOMMERCIAL SUSTAINING ANNOUNCEMENT PROGRAM ("NCSA PROGRAM") THROUGH WHICH MEMBER AND NONMEMBER RADIO AND TELEVISION STATIONS IN THE STATE VOLUNTARILY DONATE AIRTIME WHICH THE ASSOCIATION, UNDER THE PROGRAM, MAKES AVAILABLE TO GOVERNMENTAL AND NOT-FOR-PROFIT ENTITIES AND ORGANIZATIONS TO ACHIEVE STATE-WIDE COVERAGE OF THEIR ACTIVITIES, EVENTS AND PROGRAMS WHICH BENEFIT THE PUBLIC AT LARGE. TO PARTICIPATE IN THE NCSA PROGRAM, THESE ENTITIES AND ORGANIZATIONS PAY THE ASSOCIATION CUSTOMARILY A FRACTION OF WHAT IT WOULD COST THESE ENTITIES AND ORGANIZATIONS TO PURCHASE THE AIRTIME FROM INDIVIDUAL STATIONS THROUGHOUT THE STATE AT NORMAL COMMERCIAL RATES. THE MONIES RECEIVED BY THE ASSOCIATION ARE USED BY THE ASSOCIATION SOLELY FOR ITS TAX-EXEMPT PURPOSES, SUCH AS CONDUCTING SEMINARS FOR STATIONS SO THAT THEY CAN BETTER SERVE THE PUBLIC INTEREST. IMPORTANTLY, THE NCSA PROGRAM SERVES TO STRENGTHEN THE RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN THE BROADCAST INDUSTRY AND GOVERNMENTAL AND NOT-FOR-PROFIT ENTITIES AND ORGANIZATIONS.

As filed on the 2025 return. The filer continues this part on Schedule O, which is not shown here.

Officers and directors · 2025

As listed in Part VII of the 2025 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

The first 25 listed. Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.
