With the help of TVStartup the host portal, and Roku the distribution platform, io media the producer will showcase these videos for free viewing to the public, the members, the consumers.

Non-Profit Organizations
Develop and grow your organization presence on television with videos!
Organizations Free Public Events
Non-profit organizations often organize and host free member and public events outdoors and sometimes indoors because they get funding from government grants and public taxes, or corporate and business sponsors, and attract the public to their cause and join them. They usually have websites and social media accounts, but no video channel unfortunately. Thus io media produces videos of these events for channels on social media to help promote these organizations online: maybe get Government grants, increase memberships, attract business sponsors to their events, even fundraise online.
Split Share of Sponsorship Revenue
io media produced videos of free public events are useful for online promotion of organizations on social media and free video viewing websites, and now also on television! Videos give viewers knowledge about an organization’s events and develops online public presence, even without a business sponsor. Since 2007 to today 2023 io media records, edits and uploads videos on YouTube, Vimeo, and Veoh videos of free public events happening in cities. Now in 2023, thanks to TV Startup, these videos are also viewable on television via RokuTV on RCA and other television sets and Roku devices.
io media Channel Monetizes Videos on Television by pitching to potential business sponsors to pay for commercial ads to promote their businesses by ad insertions in videos on demand and on the loop stream. This means organizations event videos will be earning residual revenue and io media will split the revenue between itself and organizers/artists in the selected videos on demand. In general, io media being the main video producer gets 50%, government tax 30%, and organizations 5% in Pool Share A and/or 10% in Pool Share B if co-producers. Each business sponsor selects the videos on demand for their commercial ad insertions of 10 seconds, which will play before or after or in the middle for longer videos. Each business sponsor level pays a monthly fee and this is split based on the table below, depending on how many videos on demand are chosen per sponsor level. For their ad insertions: sponsor level one has one, level two two, level three three, level four four and level five five. These ad insertions can be on the same or different VODs, and each VOD can have two ad insertions — front and back, or more if longer than ten minutes in the middle too. Every VOD with an ad insertion will be on the daily loop stream.
Split Share of Sponsor Ads in Percentages and Dollars
Please read Ad & VOD Rates and Payouts page to understand.
If an Organization has a free video produced by io media, it can earn in the 5% residual pool A.
If an Organization or Non-Business Entity video pays and chooses io media as its co-producer, it can earn 10% residual in Pool Share B, if already previously accepted by io media channel, and the video is selected by a business sponsor for its ad insertion.
Note: video for RokuTV is mainly for promotion of organizations and artists and there is no guarantee that a business sponsor will choose the vod for its advertising. Every business sponsor selects the vods for its insertions and that is when the commercial ads form for ad sponsor and selected vods will be filled out and signed by the participants. For future RokuTV ad insertions with bigger businesses, there will be ad share changes.
Note: io media video production services prices will be posted to compare with competitors.
Note: video must be exclusive on io media channel only. No cross posting in other media channels.
