 TV Information:
We insert our command information using locally generated spots and news stories during pre-programmed breaks on eight different channels that stream via satellite from the Defense Media Center at March Air Force base. Those pre-programmed breaks are either one or two minutes long. We also broadcast over one FM TV signal that reaches the whole island. We provide a minimum of three news stories a week to AFNEWS via FTP server.
 Radio Information:
We broadcast and insert our command information using locally generated spots and news stories over both FM and AM radio signals. Our AM station is automated and plays mostly talk radio shows that are pre-recorded from the states and aired at peak hours locally. On our FM channel, we carry a minimum of 40 hours of live air time a week. We pass command information, conduct live interviews and do radio news stories about local events that interest local service members. Radio has our biggest and most immediate impact on the island, so we always focus on it as our primary source for passing information.
 Audience Information (Audience Size)
We serve an audience of approximately 55,000 service members, their families, civilians, contractors, and retirees on eleven different military installations island wide (Ref. FY08 2nd Qtr. Strength Report). Our FM and AM signal, as well as our Pacific TV channel, is also seen by our shadow audience consisting of approximately 1.3 million Okinawa residents. Our audience can call anytime if they want help and we try to accommodate all requests. We remain open to all spot ideas. We also try to work closely with sister service PAOs to help stay connected on story ideas and current issues related to service members on Okinawa.
