Testimonials

For a decade we've worked with ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø to help bolster our end-of-year fund drive — the event that helps determine whether our conservation programs will have the money they need to be successful. The public radio audience is committed to the environment and conservation, and we've found that it's a perfect fit. The ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø staff has been beyond helpful in finding the right days and times for our spots to air. On a scale of 1 to 10, it's a 10.

ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø is a great partner to the Hartford Symphony Orchestra. We love working with Sophia and the team, and they are always sharing new ideas on how to promote Hartford Symphony Orchestra news and events. The ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø audience is a perfect match for the HSO, with a strong interest in culture and the arts. We love working with ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø !

Amanda
Hartford Symphony Orchestra
Working with the team at ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø on our sponsorship was a wonderful experience….We were given several creative options, and simply-put, we are thrilled with the exposure we have received. Hearing from our colleagues and community members when they've caught our on-air mention, or noticed our sponsorship ad online, tells us that our reach with ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø is impactful, and is producing the results we had expected.

Frequently Asked Questions


What makes public broadcasting a good value?

ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø is unique because it reaches statewide viewing/listening audiences on television/radio. Our statewide coverage means that you don’t have to buy several stations/markets to reach the entire state.

Are there any restrictions on my marketing message?

We can help you craft your copy to effectively convey your marketing message and adhere to FCC guidelines. Our public television stations offer a variety of options (billboards and marketing spots that are 5-, 10-, 30-, 45-, and 60-seconds) and our radio station airs 15-second marketing spots. If needed, we can usually tweak or re-edit your television spot to adhere to FCC guidelines, if you provide us with the video components (audio, video, music bed, logos, etc). We can also work with you to produce a customized spot.

What do the terms underwriting and sponsorship mean?

Underwriting and sponsorship are public broadcasting terms for advertising. Our underwriters/sponsors buy schedules on our television and radio stations, just like they do on commercial stations.

What is a "credit"?

A credit is the public broadcasting term for a commercial or spot that airs on our television or radio stations.

What makes this advertising option different from the rest?

ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø is unsurpassed in providing a multi-platform approach to its sponsors. No other media outlet in ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø offers statewide television and radio, a full range of digital options, print, and more.
