FIRST TO DELIVER MEDIA SERVICES, INC.
 
The official in-house sales are of CMN

 



First to Deliver (FTD) Media Services, Inc. is the official in-house sales arm of the Catholic Media Network, a network of over 50 catholic radio stations nationwide. It was formed out of the need for the network to have a marketing arm that belongs to the Federation. It was initially established as a sole proprietorship in 1994 with only 17 member stations. To make it a more viable and competitive organization as its membership expanded and its services grew through the years, it became a duly registered corporation in 1997. To date, it has 33 stations under its marketing, 20 AM & 13 FM, representing 10 regions and 27 provinces.

National sales revenues of the majority of CMN stations are coursed through FTD.
