That’s why we’ve partnered with Tribute Technology to launch Tribute Spotlights, a revolutionary new way to honor loved ones through local television broadcasts in over 200 markets. ![Untitled design (2)](https://blog.chptr.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Untitled%20design%20(2).jpg?width=768&height=432&name=Untitled%20design%20(2).jpg) For decades, newspaper obituaries played a crucial role in notifying communities of a passing and providing space for remembrance. However, with the decline of print media, that tradition has faded—leaving a gap in how families share their loved ones' stories. Tribute Spotlights brings that legacy into the digital age, ensuring that memories are shared **beyond private online spaces and into the public sphere**. ### **How It Works** - **Families submit a tribute**: A personalized, visually engaging announcement honoring their loved one. - **Local TV stations broadcast the tribute**: The segment airs **twice daily for up to 10 days**, ensuring maximum reach. - **Funeral homes strengthen their role in the community**: Each broadcast prominently features the funeral home’s branding, reinforcing their role as trusted partners in remembrance. - **Families receive a lasting keepsake**: Every Tribute Spotlight is digitally preserved, allowing families to revisit and share it with future generations.‍ ### **Why This Matters** "With the decline of newspapers, families have lost a way to share news of a death with the entire community and tell the story of their loved one through the obituary,” says **Courtney Gould Miller, President of Commercial Markets at Tribute Technology**. “Tribute Spotlights broadcasts the deaths in the community and the event information, reminding the public of the value of commemorating lives lived and increasing attendance at the funeral." ### **Preserving Legacies in a Changing World** At Chptr, we’re dedicated to **preserving stories in meaningful, lasting ways**. Tribute Spotlights expands memorialization **beyond traditional formats**, ensuring that every life story has the opportunity to be told, shared, and remembered.**‍** **Now available nationwide.** Learn how you can bring Tribute Spotlights to your community: 🔗 [Tribute Spotlights](https://www.tributetech.com/introducing-tribute-spotlights-a-new-way-to-honor-loved-ones-on-local-tv) ## Share this post [mailto:https%3A%2F%2Fblog.chptr.com%2Fintroducing-tribute-spotlights-a-new-era-of-memorialization-on-local-tv](mailto:https%3A%2F%2Fblog.chptr.com%2Fintroducing-tribute-spotlights-a-new-era-of-memorialization-on-local-tv) ## Keep reading ### [![](https://blog.chptr.com/hs-fs/hubfs/devin-avery-lhAy4wmkjSk-unsplash.jpg?width=5184&height=3456&name=devin-avery-lhAy4wmkjSk-unsplash.jpg) Research & Reports The Generation That Grew Up Online Is Losing People Too](https://blog.chptr.com/the-generation-that-grew-up-online-is-losing-people-too) ### [![](https://blog.chptr.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Blog%20Images-4-1.png?width=1200&height=675&name=Blog%20Images-4-1.png) Company News Chptr Featured in American Funeral Director: The Next Frontier of Obituary Distribution](https://blog.chptr.com/chptr-featured-in-american-funeral-director-the-next-frontier-of-obituary-distribution) [![chptr_logo_white](https://blog.chptr.com/hs-fs/hubfs/chptr_logo_white.png?width=150&height=66&name=chptr_logo_white.png "chptr_logo_white")](https://www.chptr.com/) --- [Privacy Policy](https://chptr.com/privacy-policy) · [Terms of Use](https://chptr.com/terms-of-service) · © 2025 Chptr Inc.
