Underwriting is an Effective Public Relations Opportuntity

What Is Underwriting?
Praise 88.7 is licensed as a non-commercial radio station. The FCC authorizes non-commercial stations to acknowledge gifts or grants from businesses who underwrite our programming. Recognition of those gifts on the air is referred to as an underwriting message.

Who Can Underwrite?
Businesses, Churches, or organizations who want to support the Christian radio ministry of Praise 88.7 by underwriting or sponsoring a portion of our program can receive "on-air" acknowledgement of their support through an underwriting announcement.

When Businesses and corporations were surveyed about their underwriting on non-commercial radio, they identified three significant benefits:

• Companies see underwriting as a parallel to advertising, a cost-effective way to put their company name before an audience of well educated, professional and quality conscious consumers.
• They view their support as a contribution to the community where they do business, just as they would give to another non-profit organization. They build goodwill, enhance their image among employees and shareholders, demonstrate a quality institution, and augment their public relations program.

Christian radio is a message-oriented medium. In a day when radio stations are nothing more than background mediums, people tune to Christian radio for the message it conveys.
