Lose less?

Restaurants play to host the radio shows. We don't bring enough fans to cover the cost.

That's not the point of a sponsorship, you know.

But many times dollar return is the key to retaining a sponsorship.

Yes...but not dollar return from the actual show. It isn't like they want to make their money back from sponsoring the show on a per show basis. There can be residual financial benefits.

I agree, but immediate financial return is easier to see (concrete) than residual financial return over time (abstract).

you don't make money hosting uab radio shows you do it to support the program. all I said was that he would lose less if it were held at night
