Take advantage of a unique opportunity…
We are lucky at KHEN to have a loyal, local listening audience that not only supports the station, but supports the businesses that support us! As a KHEN underwriter, your organization will stand out to Chaffee County locals and visitors. In research conducted by NPR, 74% of listeners said their opinion of a business is more positive when they find out it supports public radio.
Your company can be a partner in making the best community radio in Salida, Colorado. As a kHEN underwriter, credits will be broadcast in association with a variety of programs or with a specific program you choose, allowing you to present an effective message in an uncluttered, non-commercial format.
The FCC mandates that corporate underwriting credits clearly identify to the viewers and listeners the source(s) of programming support. A statement of support, therefore, is required in any and all underwriting credits or announcements. Messages must be 25 seconds or less in length when read aloud.
Station announcers will deliver all underwriting credits. We will work with you to produce an underwriting credit or announcement that best serves your needs and our audience.
Each underwriting credit is reviewed for adherence to FCC and station rules and for aesthetic and technical acceptability. Creativity need not be absent from the credit production process. We will work with you to develop an engaging and enlightening message.
