Sponsorships

Aspen Public Radio has long depended on the kindness of its listeners and underwriters to provide the station with a significant portion of its operating expenses. At the same time, the station recognizes that it has the means to give back to the community by sharing its most valuable resource – air time – with other area non-profit organizations.

In 2008, Aspen Public Radio is donating over $300,000 in on-air underwriting to a wide variety of organizations, including those that might otherwise have a difficult time affording traditional methods of spreading the word about their missions and events. If you’re interested in having your non-profit organization sponsored on Aspen Public Radio, please contact station manager Meredith Carroll at meredith@kajx.org.
