OUR PLATFORMS

Radio/Audio

This is the classic way for businesses to support JPR. On-air announcements identify your business or organization as a sponsor of JPR programming on our radio channels and audio streams. With just a few minutes of sponsor messages per hour and a deeply loyal audience, public radio delivers a powerful platform for your brand. Benefits of underwriting programming on JPR include:

• Stand Out & Be Heard: Since only a few sponsor announcements are broadcast each hour, your message isn't lost in a cluttered commercial environment -- it stands out and is heard.

• Target Your Audience: JPR's three unique program services and flexible scheduling create ideal audio environments for most types of businesses or services to target a specific audience or demographic group that's more likely to resonate with their product or message.

• Build Trust: By creating a message that matches the non-commercial nature of JPR's service, your business can simply describe its products and services while creating a positive relationship with listeners as a fellow supporter of JPR. For sponsors, this strengthens your brand's image and reputation and increases brand loyalty.
