Underwriting

Be heard by the neighbors.

A short, kind thank-you from a DJ, on a station people actually choose to hear.

For local business

Say thanks on the air.

Underwriting is the opposite of advertising: a short, kind thank-you to the businesses that keep us on the air. No pitches, no discounts shouted over the music.

  1. Read by a human

    A DJ reads a short message that you write with us. It sounds like the rest of the show, because it is.

  2. Reaches the valley

    Our listeners are the people who live within a few miles of your door and choose to hear what we play.

  3. No contracts

    Underwrite for a month or a year. Stop whenever you like. We will thank you either way.

  4. It keeps us independent

    No single sponsor pays for more than a tenth of the station, so nobody gets a say over the music.

Thank you

Who keeps us on the air.
