Program Sponsorships

The Benefits of KUT Sponsorship

Hundreds of Business Sponsors come together to provide 40% of KUT’s funding for local news and music programming, online content and community and fundraising events.  These sponsors’ significant support is acknowledged with brief announcements identifying their businesses and organizations and their products or services along with their contact information.

Business Sponsorship provides a unique opportunity for companies and organizations to become civically engaged, while supporting both philanthropic and marketing goals by:

• Reaching one of the largest radio audiences in Central Texas populated by people who are educated, active, creative, and influential.  These are the folks who make Central Texas an incredibly desirable place to live and work.

• Delivering a straight forward branding or positioning message into an uncluttered and hype-free listening environment where listeners are uniquely attentive to news, music and sponsor messages.

• Touching listeners who are enthusiastically open to sponsorship messages because of the value they place on public radio programming.  KUT listeners recognize, appreciate, and welcome opportunities to support businesses and organizations who support public radio. 

KUT is also unique among local media in that it reaches a large concentration of professionals, business leaders and owners, technologists and members of the creative class – people who actively shape the future of Central Texas as opinion leaders, community organizers, early adopters and taste makers.

“Sam Houston State has long offered a highly regarded master’s degree in criminal justice leadership and management on campus.  When we began to offer it online, we wanted the professional law enforcement community to know about it.   To get the word out in Austin, we turned to KUT exclusively.  The result was that we nearly doubled our enrollment goal in the first class.”

Bruce Erickson

Director of Communications

Sam Houston State University

“Loyal customers, positive results, great value, friendly staff…why spend your marketing dollars anywhere else? We have thrived by marketing almost exclusively with KUT, and we will continue to grow our strong partnership for years to come.”

“I’m grateful to KUT for several reasons. When I first started Spanish Over Coffee, I had a very small budget, to say the least, and KUT came up with a sponsorship plan that worked and continues to work. I always feel like I’m working with people who are truly interested in our success.”

Gena Vaughn

President / Owner

Spanish Over Coffee

“We feel so grateful that we were able to get sponsorship announcements on KUT.  Our classes were a huge success.  It couldn’t have been better. We appreciated the quick response, flexibility, and wonderful adaptation of our information into an audience-friendly announcement.”

Cecille Marcato

Director of the Neill-Cochran House

Summer Camp

“We had someone from Austin who heard our information on KUT visit the ranch on Saturday. It looks like he will be putting one of the lots under contract.  To have results like that in first few days of our sponsorship has far exceeded our expectations. We’re thrilled!”

Audrey Tonneson

“The decision to become a KUT Underwriter was the best public relations decision we ever made.”
