VO-BB - 20 YEARS OLD!

[vox1]

Greetings vo friends, any suggestion on a ballpark quote on the following
much appreciated;

Medium-mkt (DMA 125+) inland-Calif. client TV station for whom I do much in-house production VO has a spot to run "San Fernando Valley/Cable Only."
non-union/buyout .

This is a good affiliate client, and our usual per-spot rate is in the realm of med. mkt local cable for mostly short run stuff on a volume basis.

Thanks for your thoughts,

Mike
