Become an Underwriter!

In today’s media-rich world, it is difficult to reach the people who matter. Every day, the barrage of commercial messages forces consumers to seek public and personal media that respect their intelligence and offer a positive alternative.

WNRN’s audience shuns lowest common denominator hype. Our contemporary, non-corporate music mix and understated underwriting messaging attract the audience whose interests, education, income and demographics make them a highly desirable group to reach, much the same way News, Talk and Classical Music had traditionally done for public radio in the past.

With a presentation designed for longer listening and fewer interruptions, WNRN is in stark contrast to local commercial radio. Our announcers pause for quick music information and brief underwriting messages and get back into our music in fewer than 90 seconds. Most local commercial radio stations stop their programming for 6 to 8 minutes of highly produced commercials multiple times an hour.

Where is the best place for your message to be heard?

Brand Marketing, Not Long Commercials

When you purchase underwriting on WNRN, you are making a value rich statement that listeners respond to. They note the local organizations and businesses that help keep their favorite community radio station on the air. You’re a partner in the process, not another screaming advertiser. They, in turn, support you. It’s a win/win situation.

Underwriting is a federally regulated message designed to highlight your support of a non-profit organization. It may contain a brief, carefully-worded description of your company’s mission, products, services, location, hours of business and other specific items. Your WNRN account representative will help you craft a message that credits your support of community radio and gives listeners an immediate incentive to seek your services or purchase your products.
