Perfect World Television · Get your business on the air · Community. Stories. You.
Local TV advertising is back, and this time the station is yours. The 5 O'Clock News reaches the neighbors who actually show up — to the meetings, to the workshops, to the broadcasts. A spot here says a thing no social-media ad can: we're from here, and we back the people keeping an eye on things.
A rotating banner on the station's front page — the same page the whole site redirects to whenever we're on the air. Your card, your click-through, rotating in the sponsors' row.
BANNER · ROTATES EVERY 9sA real TV commercial. When a viewer turns the dial and the tower is live, your spot plays on the tube — full screen, sound on — before the broadcast attaches. One spot per tune-in, no pile-ups.
VIDEO · PLAYS BEFORE THE LIVE SIGNALLike any honest rental tape: the movie opens with a commercial. Your spot rolls after the cassette loads and before the feature — on every meeting tape in the store.
VIDEO · BEFORE EVERY FEATURE| Format | File | Rules of the road |
|---|---|---|
| Banner | png · jpg · gif · webp ≤ 8 MB |
Wide "leaderboard" shapes sit best on the billboard (728×90 is the classic). Animated gif is welcome — this is a station that respects a blinking sign. |
| Commercial | mp4 (H.264 + AAC) webm ok · ≤ 400 MB |
Under 2 minutes — the players cut to the feature at the fallback timer. 4:3 framing looks right on the tube (it's a 1970s set; we're not sorry). iPhone .mov may only play in Safari — export mp4 and it plays everywhere. |
Every spot gets a plain count: banner impressions and clicks, commercial plays, completions, and clicks. Counted on our own transmitter, no tracking cookies, no third-party pixel, no surveillance — the same privacy rules as the rest of the platform. What we show you is what happened. If nobody watched, the ledger says so, and we'd rather tell you that than sell you a mood.

Talk to the station: catch us at a broadcast or a workshop, or reach out through the support desk. Hand the engineer your file and your click-through link — spots go on the books at Master Control and can be on the air the same day. Pausing a spot keeps its numbers; pulling it wipes them.

Standards & practices: sponsors buy time, not coverage. No ad buys a
story, kills a story, or softens a fact — the newsroom and the sales office are
separate rooms, and on this station the wall between them is load-bearing.
We decline spots that are deceptive, hateful, or pretending to be news.
All sponsorships are publicly visible by design — it's a transparency platform;
the ads are transparent too.
Station notes: Sponsor Row inventory lives on the station's own server and
plays from our own transmitter. No ad networks, no auctions, no data brokers.
