Advertising Bringing You Tampa Bay’s Local Food and Fun Scene A Local Food Internet TV Show Hosted by Terry Hopkins and Zane Kuhle Advertising on Tasting the City! TerryZane Tasting Tasting the City is an Internet Based TV show that can be watched 24/7 unlike traditional Television shows. It can currently be watched on the Tasting Tasting the City web site www.tastingthecity.com , Ustream, and YouTube. Social media such as Facebook and Twitter are used to interact with our audience and give them not only notification of new shows that are airing, but allows us to inform them where we are filming next as well as let us know who they would like to see on our show. We encourage them to take photos of foods and Restaurants they visit and enjoy and post them on our page. Tasting The City web site is the key to success for the project. It is an extensive site that is designed to feature both Tampa Bay’s foods as well as the Restaurants they can be found at. Unlike traditional blog sites that just review with photos and text, our viewers can search by individual foods, cities, and Restaurants that allow them to actually see, in Video form, the things that interest them. It is much more interactive and engaging than a photo and text. On the web site, not only is the show available in its entirety, but the individual clips are posted and categorized, as well as offered to the Restaurants to use on their web site. If the old saying of “a picture is worth a thousand words”, then what is Video worth? Internet TV is vastly different from traditional TV in many ways. Where this is a huge benefit to you is in both cost and view ability. Traditional Televisions production costs are usually paid for from advertising sponsors. They pay huge dollars to have a 15 or 30 second commercial. They are only seen during that airing, and not during the occasional re-runs. Only those that view it live get to see it. With Internet TV, it can be watched at any time 24/7 year round. Not just a one-time event. The cost is much less as the very expensive broadcast quality equipment and huge production crews are not necessary. We are offering an opportunity for your establishment to not only advertise, but be an entertaining and integral part of our Local Food Internet TV show. The cost is low, and the value is huge. If you would like to sponsor a show or sponsor the WHOLE show please contact us! First name* Last name* Email* Your request* Submit Make your own Internet TV show Why Intenet TV Internet TV is vastly different from traditional TV in many ways. Where this is a huge benefit to you is in both cost and viewership. Traditional Television production costs can be as little as $10,000 per episode to as much as $1,000,000 per show. There is a movement away from traditional cable to internet only with such places as Netflix and Hulu Plus. With Internet TV, shows can be watched at any time 24/7 year round. Not just a one-time event. The cost for an internet show is so much less, therefor, the very expensive broadcast quality equipment and huge production crews are unnecessary. It is recommended that you start with a minimum commitment of 12 shows that you can air at a minimum of once per month. This gives your sponsors more of a reason to commit to you as you will build an audience base over time. Investment Introductory Offer!

(Tasting The City will collect this to use for trophies, etc.) Each contestant receives a $10.00 Gift certificate from the restaurant (of course these may NOT be used on the same night!). This insures that will they return to spend more at your place and bring people with them! The Restaurant will supply these at the date of the contest to the entrants. It helps to also have restaurant T-shirts or other restaurant “FREEBIES” as prizes. (Note-If the restaurant does not have gift certificates, we can create them for you) We will supply a suitable Winners trophy for the overall winner of the Contest at your restaurant.
