None have committed yet, but Bonsack plans to campaign before and during maand culjor bike, sales and when tural events, marketing representatives are usually on site. In the meantime, shes come up with a tiered rate schedule where local companies can get an ad produced and aired five times a day for just under $300 a month, with higher national rates rounding out the revenue picture.
