You're in good company when you become an underwriter on WKU Public Radio. Click here to see our current underwriting partners and visit their websites.

Underwriting allows your business or organization to become a supporting partner with WKU Public Radio, and gets your message in front of the most educated and active audience in radio.

A wise investment. WKU Public Radio is viewed as an important community resource by its listeners. Because of this, an underwriting partnership builds good will and greatly enhances a company’s community image. Four out of five public radio listeners say their opinion of a company is more positive when they know that company supports public radio.

The broadest coverage area in the region.  With four transmitters, WKU Public Radio reaches a population of 1.3 million people.  Our coverage area includes over 65% of Kentucky, plus Southern Indiana (including Evansville) and Northern Tennessee. Follow this link to see our coverage map.

Reach the people you want to reach.  A recent study by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting showed that public radio listeners are twice as likely to have graduated from college, twice as likely to earn over $50,000 annually, 89% more likely to hold a top management position, and twice as likely to be involved in civic issues when compared to the overall adult population.

Target your customers. We can custom design an underwriting sponsorship package for your business, tailored to match your marketing strategies with our award-winning news, public affairs and music programs.

An uncluttered environment. You won’t hear commercial clutter on WKU Public Radio. We schedule no more than two non-competing sponsor acknowledgments per break. As a result, each underwriting credit read by our professional staff has a much greater chance of standing out and being heard.
