Why Underwrite on KDNK?

Underwriting is both a fantastic way to support your local community radio station and get your message out to a wide and loyal listenership. With at most two underwriting messages every half-hour and adherence to non-commercial language standards, our listeners rarely change the dial at breaks which better ensures your message will be heard. Our nine signals reach roughly 100,000 potential listeners including the towns of Glenwood Springs, Aspen, Rifle, Carbondale, Basalt, Snowmass Village, Redstone, Marble, Parachute, Gypsum, and Leadville. KDNK Underwriters enjoy the gratitude of the community for their support and stewardship of this vital institution which champions independent journalism, musical expression, and the voices of all members of our community. Alongside underwriting, KDNK offers live-broadcast and event sponsorship opportunities. Call Underwriting Director Tracy Strode at 970-963-0139 or email tracy@kdnk.org to discuss how we can help you spread your message, engage the community, and support KDNK.
