There is a super easy way to obtain GAB Membership:
NO CASH The majority of our members join by participating in the GAB-Time Program. This method eliminates any cash dues payments to GAB Under this system, stations agree to give GAB a small number of spot availabilities to sell to non-traditional advertisers. The income from these weekly spots (6 for radio or 4 for television) gives you a 100% credit against your GAB dues. The GAB qualifies and screens all GAB-Time participants to make sure they are not advertisers that would normally spend money with our member stations. The GAB-Time spots are run by the stations on an ROS basis. Money derived from these spots operates the GAB and helps us lobby and act in your interest throughout the year.

As a member of GAB, you can enjoy:

• Legal and technical information by calling the GAB office.

• A liaison with the FCC that has saved hundreds of thousands of dollars for Georgia broadcasters.

• The option to get a professional inspection that will guarantee you immunity from FCC inspection for three years!

• Your own lobbyists in Atlanta and Washington, looking out for your interests on the political and regulatory fronts.

• Get reduced registration rates on conventions, meetings, educational sessions and seminars.
