2021
Calendar of Events
To receive the maximum benefit from the Annual Calendar of Events, we suggest the following:
1. Schedule a staff meeting to discuss those special
events that are two to three months in the future. Allow
everyone to contribute ideas as to what events might
serve as catalysts for revenue-generating station
promotions. Determine which advertisers would be the
prime prospects for these special promotions. Assign
one person to guide these promotions from inception
to fruition.
2. Instruct each member of your sales staff to select
one event each month he or she thinks is the best
opportunity to achieve added sales revenue. Ask for
suggestions about how the event should be announced,
implemented and assessed for results. Again, assign
one salesperson to manage the promotion from
beginning to end.
3. Use the calendar to prepare a list of community-event
opportunities for your station to sponsor. Hosting a
local event, such as Poison Prevention Awareness
Month, not only shows your support for the community,
but also generates publicity for your station.
4. 4. Look for events that could help your salespeople
make connections with unique or small businesses. For
example, National Pizza Party Day (May 21st) is clearly
an opportunity for local pizza shops to feature unusual/
one-of-a-kind pies to increase foot traffic.
5. Explore the calendar for events that are related to a
theme. August 1–7 is National Exercise with Your Child
Week. Fitness centers/health clubs can promote family
memberships and youth sports leagues/clubs can
invite parents to participate in practice sessions with
their children.
6. Share this calendar with your programming
department. Various events can serve as sources of
potential talk-show subjects. February is Wise Health
Care Consumer Month and October is National
Cybersecurity Awareness Month.
7. Programming can also look for opportunities to run
a series retrospective or special program marathon
by searching for special events related to a specific
program. For example, July 12 is the 45th anniversary of
“Family Feud” and October 3rd is the 35th anniversary
of “LA Law.” Plan events to support these classic
programs and others.
8. Assign one person to keep track of the details and
the outcome of each event from the Annual Calendar
of Events. Create success stories of how you helped
various categories of advertisers gain traffic and/
or added revenue, and then share these stories with
advertisers in other categories, so they can benefit
from the sponsorship of a special event.
HOW TO USE MEDIA GROUP ONLINE’S
ANNUAL CALENDAR OF EVENTS
The Annual Calendar of Events is found in the Special Reports and Broadcast Planning
Sections of the Media Group Online Website.
This calendar provides a list of holidays and other designated special-event occasions, which
can be used to pursue new advertising revenue opportunities. Many events, occasions and
celebrations may be canceled, postponed or moved online because of the pandemic.
Within each month’s listing, you will find three classifications of events: monthlong, weeklong
and designated days. Some events are national in scope while others are more local.
