For recent discussion on WBAY TV, see Palmetto Bay council starts 2013 with a long meeting, by Howard Cohen, Palmetto Bay’s new vice mayor questions some expenses, making for a long Village Council meeting. Discussion from staff at the meeting revealed that the current viewership is placed at 100 people. 

Palmetto Bay is trying to offset costs of the station through “sponsorships.” Hopefully moving to U-verse will boost ratings as sponsorship dollars are hard when reaching 100 people, far below what can be accomplished though newspaper advertisements or even direct mail for the same costs.

The Mayor and council have budgeted $100,000.00 for TV & Video Production, Page 94 (of 149) CLICK HERE to view adopted budget for fiscal year 2012-13.
