Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about PressLine services

What is PressLine?

PressLine provides broadcast monitoring and earned media participation services. We track television coverage across all U.S. markets and help qualified experts participate in news when their insight is relevant and timely.

How does monitoring work?

We monitor broadcast news 24/7 across 210 U.S. television markets, national networks, cable, and radio. When coverage matches your criteria, we clip the segment, transcribe it, and deliver video files, transcripts, and reports ready for immediate use.

What does participation cost?

Participation operates on a retainer model that funds daily work—monitoring, pitch development, outreach, and availability management. Success fees cover operational delivery when participation occurs. Contact us for specific pricing based on your needs.

How quickly can you deliver clips?

PressLine is built for fast turnaround. We deliver coverage while stories are still developing, allowing teams to respond thoughtfully rather than reactively. Typical delivery is within hours of broadcast.

Do you guarantee media coverage?

No. Participation is earned through editorial relevance only—we never guarantee coverage, sell airtime, or influence editorial decisions. Editorial control remains entirely with journalists and producers.

What markets do you cover?

We monitor all 210 U.S. television markets, national networks (ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, PBS), major cable networks (CNN, MSNBC, Fox News, CNBC, etc.), and radio. Our infrastructure has been built over 30+ years of broadcast monitoring experience.
