Business Partner FAQ's

What is a Business Partner? 
A Business Partner is a business, non-profit organization or church that supports WNBV 88.1 FM financially on a short or long-term basis.


What do I receive as a result of my support of WNBV 88.1 FM?
WNBV 88.1 FM Business Partners receive announcements on the radio as a result of their support. The number of announcements is dependant on the level of contribution and the length of the agreement. These benefits are available for non-profit organizations and commercial businesses alike. Business Partners agreeing to support WNBV 88.1 FM for 6-months or longer receive space on the Underwriter section of this website, where we list contact information and provide a graphic link to the supporter's website, if applicable.


What's the main difference between supporting WNBV 88.1 FM, a non-profit organization vs. a commercial radio station?
The wording of the announcements you receive as a result of your support. The FCC regulates what non-commercial radio stations can say about commercial businesses in their announcements. Over the years, we have become experts on how to write non-profit radio announcements that meet your marketing and ministry goals as well as ours. Tax-exempt, 501 (c) (3), non-profit organizations (churches, most ministries, etc.) have a different opportunity as it relates to supporting non-commercial radio. Non-profit announcements sound very much like what you might hear on a commercial radio station.


Do my WNBV 88.1 FM Business Partner announcements work?
Yes. Radio listeners today (especially WNBV 88.1 FM listeners!) are smart, well-informed people who, in most cases, don't have the time or inclination to sit through the same old sales pitches heard on other radio stations. They listen to WNBV 88.1 FM specifically because we're different. WNBV 88.1 FM offers Business Partners the opportunity to speak directly to one of the most loyal and dedicated groups of radio listeners on the planet…those who tune into WNBV 88.1 FM. Additionally, as primarily a listener-supported radio ministry, WNBV 88.1 FM patrons often seek out opportunities to support the organizations and businesses that support WNBV 88.1 FM as another means of supporting the station they love.


*WNBV 88.1 FM reserves the right to refuse business support agreements to organizations that do not meet the same standards to which we hold ourselves accountable.
