How underwriting works
KRPS offers a range of scheduling and pricing options. While we have some suggested packages, we are most concerned with giving you the best option for your business. In addition to the packages, we also offer a la carte pricing ranging from $10 (music) to $15 (news), depending upon announcement placement, with a minimum contract of $350.
Packages are available on a 26- or 52-week schedule. The number of announcements you receive within this package is the same, regardless of which schedule you select. The difference in the schedules is the frequency of when your announcement will be broadcast. If you opt for the 26-week schedule, your announcement will air more frequently in a shorter time. The 52-week schedule will spread out your investment over a longer period of time, with less frequency.
