Summary: | 碩士 === 國立政治大學 === 傳播學院碩士在職專班 === 97 === In Taiwan, non-profit, government-owned radio stations are created for special purposes and with a specific target audience. Due to a dual-property nature of this establishment, government-owned and broadcast media, the operation and management of these stations are different from commercial ones or other non-profit organizations. But how do these government-owned stations combine the advantages of broadcasting and non-profit characteristics with its mission and ideals to create a more positive feedback from its listeners? This must be reached by marketing strategies, and the model of event marketing in a more effective approach to reach the results more immediately.
However, government-owned radio stations have limitations as well. No advertising revenue can be gained, nor any type of sponsorship can be accepted. It is worthy to further discuss and determine how marketing strategies can be created for non-profit government-owned radio stations that rely on government funding in order to help them gain maximum benefits without wasting taxpayer contributions or government resources.
Among all the government-owned radio stations in Taiwan, the Police Radio Station (PRS) has the largest numbers of channels, the widest listening range, and a good listener rating. So this is a case study on PRS - Caring Traffic Safety Series of Activities, to find out the marketing effectiveness of its broadcast. The results may then be used as a reference for other non-profit government-owned radio stations.
Through questionnaire survey and in-depth interview, this study has reached the following findings: the PRS has maintained a positive image among the audience as a “professional traffic radio” that provides traffic reports. However, in a more specific context, the PRS lacks a readily identifiable and impressive logo. Such logo could be a symbol or image of a mascot that would represent the past, present and future of the PRS and further promote its image.
