What is Underwriting and How Can It Help You?

Underwriting could be defined simply as advertising on public radio. However, it is better understood as a way for you to make a charitable contribution to KCCU, while also speaking directly to our tens of thousands of weekly listeners. KCCU recognizes your tax-deductible contribution with on-air announcements during the program(s) you wish to sponsor. 

          Underwriting spots identify:

  • Your company's name
  • The products / services you provide
  • Your location / contact information                    

Discover the quality of the KCCU audience

Our listeners:

  • are physically active
  • are patrons of the arts
  • are financially literate
  • invest in their homes
  • make purchasing decisions at their place of work
  • enjoy dining out
  • are environmentally conscious
  • are philanthropic

Underwriting on KCCU places you and your product or service in a unique position, separate from the clutter of commercial broadcasts. We never air more than one announcement per break, so your business is better highlighted, with a lower investment, than in traditional advertising.

  • 88% of NPR listeners say their opinion of a company is more positive when they discover the company supports public radio
  • 95% take direct action as a result of sponsorship.

You Reach a Target Audience

KCCU offers you the choice of sponsoring any part of our broadcast schedule, allowing you the freedom to select the programs that will reach your customer base best. No matter your schedule, you can rest assured that your spots reach a well-educated, loyal audience that values the businesses supporting public radio.

All our underwriting contracts are 100% customized to meet your business needs and start as low as $25 per month.

Underwriting Identifies Your Company as Socially Active

An association with KCCU, with its long-standing reputation for civic involvement, identifies your company as a community-minded organization interested in more than simply selling a product or service. Every underwriting announcement solidifies your business' status as an enthusiastic participant in the local community.
