- Overall public radio listeners are 88% more likely to buy products and services from companies that support public radio than from companies that advertise on commercial radio.
- More than 80% of public radio listeners say their opinion of a company is more positive when they discover that company supports public radio.
Reach a Valuable Audience:
- 45% of public radio listeners work in the professional or managerial fields.
- The public radio audience contains a high concentration of decision makers for business purchases -- 36% of public radio news listeners.
- The public radio news and Classical music audience is well educated -- 55% are college graduates.
- The public radio audience is upscale -- 56% of public radio listeners have a household income above $60,000.
Each time your support is acknowledged on the air you are brought into a circle of shared commitment with hundreds of individual contributors. No other medium gives you the equivalent high-end market exposure along with the recognition that comes from supporting a respected public service.
KEDM Copy Guidelines are available, too. You'll work directly with your Corporate Support Representative to draft verbiage.
