What Tennessee Assn of Broadcasters does
Mission
To advance the best interests of the broadcast industry in the state of tennessee through a variety of programs intended to educate broadcasters to assist them in better serving the public interest and to foster stronger relationships between broadcasters, the citizens of tennessee, nonprofit organizations and federal and tennessee state and local governmental departments and officials.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
The tennessee association of broadcasters (the "association") has long maintained a noncommercial sustaining announcement program ("ncsa program") through which member and nonmember radio and television stations in the state voluntarily donate airtime which the association, under the program, makes available to governmental and not-for-profit entities and organizations to achieve state-wide coverage of their activities, events and programs which benefit the public at large. To participate in the ncsa program, these entities and organizations pay the association customarily a fraction of what it would cost these entities and organizations to purchase the airtime from individual stations throughout the state at normal commercial rates. The monies received by the association are used by the association solely for its tax-exempt purposes, such as conducting seminars for stations so that they can better serve the public interest. Importantly, the ncsa program serves to strengthen the relationships between the broadcast industry and governmental and not-for-profit entities and organizations.
The program described on its FY2025 Form 990.
The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2017 to 2018, from $1.7M to $2.0M (+19%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
