Align your brand with tasteMAKERS and Reach a large, engaged audience

tasteMAKERS offers viewers a unique journey into the culinary industry with host Cat Neville. She explores the artisan food movement along with unique corners of the American landscape in each half-hour docu-style episode. While the main focus of the show is squarely on food, the series is appealing to a cross section of viewers, pulling in lovers of food as well as travel shows.

Because it is non-commercial, the PBS environment is uncluttered. Your underwriting message stands out and is more likely to be watched than ads on commercial networks, where spots are stacked on top of each other.

With a :15 or :30 underwriting message on tasteMAKERS, you are reaching a large, engaged audience that is well aware that underwriting means that you are directly supporting tasteMAKERS. The public television audience pays attention and responds more intently than advertising on most commercial outlets.
