Tough national bookings require an experienced media relations expert with personal relationships with key producers.

Satellite Media Tours

In our increasingly smaller world, dominated by instantaneous telecommunications, MC*Satellite delivers state-of-the-art Satellite Media Tours (SMT).

Satellite TV Tours offer superior exposure for important issues and ensure that your message reaches a significant and targeted audience, with a potential of over a million viewers across the country. During one morning, we will arrange 18-20 back-to-back news interviews with local TV stations across the country via satellite. We regularly book with affiliates of NBC, ABC, CBS and Fox for shows which lead into to national news programs like The Today Show, Good Morning America, The Early Show, and FOX Morning News.

The Satellite Media Tour lasts about 3 hours with each interview typically lasting 4-6 minutes. Most are live interviews; some are taped.

Local TV/Media Road Tours

Our knowledge of local TV is unsurpassed due to our extensive road touring with authors and corporate spokespeople. In each market there are a variety of outlets for MC clients ranging from:

• 6:00 - 7:00 AM news programs that lead into The Today Show or Good Morning America;

• Local morning shows that air from 7:00 - 9:00 AM,

• Midday and noon news programs, daytime talk programs;

• Taped public affair programs; and

• Evening news programs.

MC's ability to get our clients on these powerful local venues is what makes a road tour worthwhile!

Media road tours of course also include print and radio interviews. A typical day in a major market will include one or two TV appearances, a live interview on a radio morning drive program followed by more extensive interviews on local talk radio, with one print interview to round out the day. We coordinate everything: training, travel, escorts, updates and the top television, radio and print placements in every market.
