While we don't raise funds through advertising, we do acknowledge contributions made by businesses and churches with Underwriter Announcements. These announcements have a different "feel" and "appeal" to our listeners who value the fact that they do not sound like commercials heard on some other stations.
They are intended to thank and acknowledge important ministry partners for helping Real 102.1 fulfill our vision. Our listeners value our Christ-centered music and teaching and therefore are grateful to know which area businesses are helping to make it possible.
What can be included in an announcement?
Name of your Business or Church
Address, Phone Number and Website
Years in Business and Hours of Operation
The Names of Products Sold (Including Brand Names)
Services Provided
Underwriting is completely tax deductible
Since Real 102.1 is a non-profit organization, we do not 'sell' airtime. Any airtime given to businesses is contracted by a tax-deductible donation (underwriting). Real 102.1 will send Underwriters a Year End Statement as a receipt of their giving for those who desire to deduct their Underwriting donation from their taxes.
*Please consult with your tax professional for more information about underwriting tax deductions.
Right of refusal or cancellation
Real 102.1 reserves the right to not accept or to discontinue any Underwriting announcements from organizations whose reputation has come under public scrutiny or received negative press that could harm the credibility or reputation of Real 102.1 by association.

CHURCH MINISTRY MESSAGE:**
Another way churches can partner with us is by their clergy recording ministry messages that are 1 to 2 minutes in length. These messages will air at least once per day. There is no cost for this as we would like REAL 102.1 to be another avenue of ministry for your church. Please email wes@real102.com for details on how to begin getting your messages on the air! We do ask that these messages be updated at least once per month, but prefferably every 2 weeks.
EDUCATIONAL MESSAGE:**
Businesses also have an opportunity to enlighten our listeners with informational messages. Some examples of these types of messages would be healthcare, lawn care and gardening and many other types of helpful tips. These messages will also be limited to 1 to 2 minutes in length and will air at least once per day. There is no additional cost if a business is signed up for one of the above packages. If not signed up for one of the packages, there will be a fee of $50.00 per month. We ask that these messages be updated at least every 2 weeks.
Real 102.1 Underwriting is for both small and large businesses and churches. Our rates are low because our focus is in partnering with you to profit the Kingdom of God.
*Number of announcements may be more than the guaranteed amount, but will not be less.
**Messages will be approved by the station General Manager and/or Board of Directors before airing.
