KDNK UNDERWRITING GUIDE
Take advantage of a unique opportunity ... by being a KDNK underwriter. Your message, presented in the company of the best programs on KDNK will make a positive imprint on our audience ... your customers, employees, colleagues, friends and neighbors throughout the Roaring Fork Valley.
Your company can be a partner in making possible the best public radio programming in the Roaring Fork Valley. As a KDNK Underwriter, your credit will be broadcast in association with a variety of programs or with the specific program you choose, allowing you to present an effective message in an uncluttered, noncommercial environment.
It is preferred that station announcers 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 esthetic and technical acceptability. Creativity need not be absent from the credit production process. We will work with you to develop an engaging and enlightening corporate message. Contact Jen Roeser at 963-0139 or jen@kdnk.org to get started.
