Become a Business Supporter

Do you want to promote your business?
Do you want to save money? What if your advertising dollars were 100% tax deductible? What if you received more for your dollar? What if you could increase the opinion of your business?

Allegheny Mountain Radio is a non-profit community network, meaning that we rely on the support of our fantastic listeners, as well as businesses and organizations who choose to underwrite with us. If you are new to the concept of underwriting, it is a unique, effective way to invest in your organization while supporting our great little radio gem in the heart of the Allegheny Mountains. Allegheny Mountain Radio works like a friendly neighbor, spreading the word about your business!

 

Allegheny Mountain Radio is a community network of radio stations which are public

and non-commercial. We are operated by volunteers and a small paid staff.

WVMR went on the air in August 1981, WVLS in May 1995, WCHG in June 1995, Radio Durbin in July 1998, WVMR-FM in October 2010, and WNMP in October 2011.

AMR’s programming covers Pocahontas County, WV, Highland County, VA Bath County, VA and parts of surrounding counties. We are also streaming globally via our website alleghenymountainradio.or

To provide timely and accurate reports of local and state events including weather, news and community events

To provide a forum open to all residents of our listening area for the discussion of public issues

To provide music and entertainment to our audience

To promote the economic development and general well being of the area

To train local residents to use the medium of radio to express their thoughts, feelings, and talents

An underwriting spot is an on-air announcement or a “radio postcard” that is an acknowledgement of a donation made by a business or organization in support of the radio station.

Name, Location, Phone Number

Mottos or slogans that identify but not promote

Value-neutral description of a product or service

Brand name or trade name of product or service

Corporations, Small Businesses, Philanthropic Organizations, Charitable Trusts, Individuals

As well as financially helping AMR continue to provide educational & entertaining programming to our listening areas, here are just a few reasons why supporting public radio makes good business sense.

 100% Tax Deductible! Because AMR is a non-profit organization, your payment for an underwriting spot is considered a donation!

More bang for your buck! A commercial radio station from our region costs up to

TEN TIMES what AMR charges!

Improve local opinion of your business! A poll of National Public Radio listeners showed just how much public radio affects listener’s opinion of sponsors.

55% prefer to buy products and services from companies that support public radio

(When price and quality are equal)*

67% hold a more positive opinion of a company when they learn it supports public radio*

21% have purchased a product or service because of an announcement on public radio*
