2022 saw an increase in local stations using interactive sponsorships to improve advertising revenues.
2023 proves this wasn’t a one-off trend, as more stations adopt interactive sponsorships to provide value to their advertisers and differentiate themselves in a crowded broadcast marketplace.
Megaphone TV is the #1 interactive sponsorship platform for local stations, allowing you to boost advertising revenue and client campaign success.
What is Interactive Sponsorship?
Interactive sponsorship is simple:
When bundled with traditional station ad inventory, interactive sponsorship gives local stations powerful incentives for advertisers to choose them.
Megaphone TV clients that include interactive sponsorship in their advertising packages have increased the size of their ad bundles sold.
The most typical interactive sponsorship bundle sold includes the following:
On-Air
Branded Pop-Up
Digital Advertising
Interactive Sponsorship is Expanding Because Sponsors See the Results
Interactive sponsorship is seeing increased demand from local stations and advertisers because its unique branded content possibilities provide brands with results.

KNWA Fayetteville: Pig Trail Nation Poll Sponsored by Signarama
Recently, KNWA expanded interactive advertising and promotional opportunities into their entertainment content.
Signarama (a supplier of a wide range of custom-made signs, banners & decals for buildings & vehicles) sponsors KNWA’s Pig Trail Nation Poll – a regular, in-broadcast poll covering Arizona sports.

Franchises like Signarama exist in every TV market, and almost all are facing similar challenges in driving customers to retail locations or visitors to e-commerce websites.
Interactive sponsorship makes it easy and affordable for franchisees to do both while building deeper brand recognition in their local communities.
Interactive Sponsorship Continues to Deliver ROIs for Local Stations
Being able to offer interactive sponsorship to advertisers requires a modest investment of time and capital by local stations – but the ROIs speak for themselves.
The ability to instantly convert viewers into buyers and leads for your clients is something that a typical 30-second commercial alone cannot do.
But as part of a bigger advertising package that includes traditional spots, on-air mentions, and graphics, interactive sponsorship improves campaign results, ad spending, and client retention.
