Program areas at Nashville Public Media

The banner first look program provided stories on an irregular basis (2-3 times per month). Because of this, non-financial partnership agreements were made with both the Nashville scene and newschannel 5 to distribute Nashville banner content to a broad audience. The banner revamped its website and launched daily coverage during the 2023 local elections providing in-depth interviews with candidates, stories about advertising, campaign finance and issues in district and at-large council races and comprehensive coverage of the mayor's race.
