Value for Value

Supporting CTown Media

At C-Town Media, we believe in keeping our broadcasts free and accessible to the community. Instead of hiding our work behind paywalls or expensive subscriptions, we rely on something different — the Value for Value model.

That means if you find value in what we do, you can return that value in whatever way works for you — whether that’s with your time, talent, or treasure.

What “Value for Value” Means

  • Time – Spread the word! Share our live streams, tell your friends, or help us grow our audience. Every extra set of eyes and ears makes a difference.

  • Talent – Got skills? From graphics to commentary to behind-the-scenes tech help, we welcome community contributions that make our broadcasts even better.

  • Treasure – Support financially in whatever amount feels right to you. There’s no set price tag. You decide the value you’ve received, and you decide how much to give back.

Why It Matters

Running high-quality live streams, covering local events, and building a platform for small-town stories takes real resources — equipment, software, people, and time. When you support C-Town Media, you’re helping:

  • Keep local sports and community events streaming for free

  • Provide opportunities for local voices and businesses to be heard

  • Strengthen the connection across our town through shared experiences

How to Support

Supporting us is simple:

👉 Give What You Can – Value for Value

Your contribution helps us keep the cameras rolling and the streams flowing. There’s no wrong amount. Whether it’s $5, $50, or more, every gift keeps local media alive and in community hands.

Be Part of the Story

C-Town Media isn’t powered by ads or corporate networks. It’s powered by you. If you’ve enjoyed a game, a concert, or one of our broadcasts, consider giving back today. Together, we’ll keep bringing Columbia’s stories to life.

⭐ Extra Bonus: Value for Value… for Value!

When you support C-Town Media, we want to give some extra value back to you — not just in the broadcasts you already enjoy, but in a few fun ways to show our thanks.

That’s where these bonus tiers come in:

  • $25+ The Shout-Out – We’ll put your name on air during a live sports broadcast. You’re part of the action!

  • $50+ The Friend of the Stream – Get your name on our Supporter Wall + your on-air shout-out.

  • $100+ The Game Changer – Be recognized at kickoff with a dedicated thank-you, plus all the perks above.

  • $250+ The MVP – Multiple shout-outs during a game + (if you’re a business) your logo featured in our supporter rotation.

Think of it as Value for Value… for Value. You give what the streams are worth to you, and we send value back in the form of recognition, community, and being part of something bigger.
