Cultural Alliance - New Advertising Program
Featuring Discounted Advertising Opportunities on KYW, WHYY, WRTI, and WXPN.
Book your advertising today!
With the conclusion of the Campaign for Culture program on March 31, the Cultural Alliance's subsidized Advertising Cooperative program funding came to a close. However, based on the success of the ad co-op program to date and continued interest from members, we have created a successor program that will continue to provide discounted advertising opportunities for Cultural Alliance members. For 2008/2009 we are pleased to announce the following negotiated discount rates for radio advertising on KYW, WHYY, WRTI, and WXPN..
With these new packages you still get great advertising opportunities at an affordable price; however you purchase it directly from the stations and submit your copy directly to the stations. In addition, this program is ongoing, so you can purchase your spots when it’s right for you and your events.
Please find the packages and contact information for each station below. Click on the station to view their Advertising Package, station information, and contacts.
If you have any general questions about these discounts or need some assistance please contact Kendra Lawton at 215.399.3520.
