Day Sponsorship

WBAA Day Sponsorship Program

Support WBAA and hear your own personal message on the air! Celebrate a birthday, surprise a friend, honor an anniversary or remember a loved one. 

A contribution to WBAA of $240-$364 enables you to sponsor one day. If you are able to make a donation of $365 or more, then you may have two day sponsorships. When we receive your contribution, we will send you a sign-up form to reserve your date and compose your message. You may use your Day Sponsor benefit up to one year after the date of your contribution. 

Your message will be read during the day of your choice 5 times on each station, AM 920 and 101.3 FM, between 6 AM and 9 PM. Each Day Sponsor message is 10 seconds in length, including our standard introduction of, "Today's programming on WBAA is supported in part by..." 

WBAA will not schedule more than one Day Sponsorship per day. Please be sure to reserve your date early; WBAA's Day Sponsor program is popular and our dates fill quickly!

Day Sponsorship Guidelines 

To help you craft the best possible message that will be appropriate to air and represent WBAA's quality on-air sound and broadcasting services, please consider the following: 

A Day Sponsorship on-air message should celebrate friends or family, or commemorate a personal event, anniversary, graduation, birthday, etc. Unfortunately, we cannot accept any political, religious or advocacy messages which promote a cause or editorial viewpoint.

Day Sponsorship messages cannot have any reference or mention of a business or organization.  Organizations or companies that wish to support WBAA on-air may do so through our corporate support program.  

Additionally, we cannot allow any message that includes a call to action, or any language that is offensive, critical, or in poor taste. WBAA must adhere to all FCC regulations of public radio broadcasting, and we reserve the right to reject or revise any message that does not meet these standards, or the standards the station has set for our Day Sponsorship program. 

Sample Day Sponsorship Messages include:

“Today's programming on WBAA is supported in part by:
     .....Sonja Cook, wishing Joe Baxter a happy 40th birthday.”
     .....Mary and Bill Smith, celebrating their tenth wedding anniversary.”
     .....Jim Meyer, honoring his son's baseball team."

WBAA is happy to help you compose the message for your Day Sponsorship. Please contact WBAA's Sally Lutes via email at lutess@purdue.edu or call our office at (765) 494-5920 if you need assistance. Thank you for supporting WBAA with your membership contribution.
