Frequently Asked Questions

  • How can I get my event promoted on your station?

    We can promote your event on-air through public service announcements or you may purchase underwriting time.

  • How do you like PSA requests sent in? E-mail, Fax or mail?

    Please see our PSA guidelines.

  • How can I get my event listed in your CPR Quarterly?

    The event listing in the CPR quarterly is restricted to community partnerships, underwriting clients and CSUS events.

  • How can I get CPR to be media sponsor of our event?

    Sponsorship requests must be made at least one month before date of event. It is recommended that you make your request 3 to 6 months prior to event due to the volume of community organizations requesting partnerships. FCC rules do not allow any mention of a for-profit sponsor in promotional co-sponsorship or partnership messages.

    Partnership decisions are determined by:

    • Availability of promotional on-air time
    • Interest to listeners
    • Visibility opportunities for CPR
    • No conflict of interest with an existing station event or previous community partner commitment
    • Availability of complimentary tickets
  • Do you have a community calendar?

    No. We no longer have a community calendar on the air or on our website. However, you can send a PSA request to us.

  • I have tickets to giveaway on your station. How can I do that?

    Ticket giveaways are done through our underwriting department. Requests must be given at least 4 weeks in advance. Ticket giveaways are conducted through our website. Our announcers promote the tickets on-air and direct our listeners to sign-up online. For more information contact our underwriting department.
