Partner Marketing/Underwriting With 91.9 Classical KC
Classical music connects community.
You can now use the power of classical music to connect with the community of 91.9 Classical KC and ClassicalKC.org.
Though we share DNA with our sister station, KCUR 89.3, listening surveys across America have shown that there’s only a 15 – 20% overlap of classical music and NPR news audiences. That makes marketing with Classical KC and KCUR an efficient investment in your business or organization.
It also becomes an investment in the local arts, in the future of this city, and its people.
And that investment pays dividends for you, as the community appreciates those who have helped support this cultural institution in the making.
We’ve made marketing on Classical KC easy and affordable, so share the joy that is classical music and engage with the arts and the people who love them.

FAQs
What is underwriting?
91.9 Classical KC acknowledges corporate contributions to the radio station with brief on-air messages called underwriting. Since these contributions help pay for programming costs, underwriting is to public radio what advertising is to commercial stations. The value and number of on-air messages is determined by their placement during the broadcast schedule. KCUR provides a rate sheet which specifies the values of the messages throughout our program schedule.
