Collins Media Services -- radio/TV commercials, programs & syndication

Some exciting news at CMS:
October 2002

Childhood Matters, which has been in development, will launch on November 3. This live call-in show for parents will air every Sunday from 9-10am on 98.1 KISS-FM in San Francisco. With excellent support from the radio station, we're confident that Childhood Matters will be a valuable forum for parents and everyone else who cares for children. So tune in, and call in at 1-877-372-KIDS. And visit our new website at www.childhoodmatters.org
We've also concluded an agreement with the California Arts Council to develop a radio presence about the arts and artists of California.
Our in-house voiceover pro, Peter B. Collins has been busy. He's now being heard on a radio spot for the Playboy Channel. And he just narrated an employee orientation video for Foster Farms Dairies.
We're busy with the re-design of Faith Matters,
which will re-launch in March. Research is
under way to finalize the new format under
a new name, and we are developing a
campaign to market the program to public
radio stations.
Jim Foster's Conversations on the Coast is
now in its 5th year, and his impressive
archive of author interviews is available
for licensing to book-related websites.
One particularly touching segment with
Rick Bragg is featured on the new page.
We've set up a test program for direct
response clients, using a revenue sharing
deal to reduce the risks. If you have a
product or offer that would work in radio,
call us today.
We are about midway through the
development process for a new interactive
radio show about parenting and the
very first years of a child's life. We are
working with a team to develop
funding from foundations and public
agencies, and expect to debut the
show this summer.
We've got room for more assignments! Like
many small firms, business has slowed
as budgets have been cut. We see great
opportunities for cost-effective communication,
as media costs have dropped to 1999 levels
and even lower in some cases.
