Sponsor KRUA

KRUA is an award-winning, non-commercial educational radio station based at the University of Alaska Anchorage

But, as such, we do not advertise on air. However, don’t turn away yet! We do offer sponsorship through the KRUA Underwriting Program. This is a great way to support the campus community while also getting your name on the airwaves.

Let us explain. What is underwriting? Underwriting is a way that the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) permits non-commercial radio stations (such as KRUA) to receive funding through means of community sponsorship. Some other examples of non-commercial, underwritten radio stations are National Public Radio (NPR) or Public Radio International. Like them, KRUA is a station whose purpose is to be a resource to the community and not merely entertainment.

There are two funds you can choose from when deciding to Underwrite with KRUA: our General Support fund (used for major expenses at the station) and our Student Scholarship fund (distributed each semester to a student volunteer).
