 An Uncluttered Medium
Your message won’t get lost in a sea of advertisers. We devote a maximum of 3.5 minutes of every hour to contributor mentions, compared to almost 20 minutes per hour on commercial radio. And, content-rich programming leads to more active listeners who are more likely to hear your message.

A Unique Audience
Your message will reach the influential people in your community, the decision-makers, the business leaders. You can also target a specific audience by strategically placing your message with our varied streams and programs.

Sponsor Announcements
Iowa Public Radio will work with you to create a :15-second announcement that best reflects your community relations and marketing goals. We will then produce your announcement at no additional cost using the Iowa Public Radio voices our listeners know best.

Corporate Sponsor Feedback

I chose public radio because, as an avid listener for 40 plus years, I knew listeners would like Phil’s information, wisdom and perspective.  The website now has more Bible and contemporary writings. Newspaper columns include more categories. Thanks, Iowa Public Radio, for helping me keep Phil’s legacy alive.

Iowa Public Radio provides information, education, and entertainment to all of Iowa.  Its central goal is to enrich all of our lives.  IPR’s goal is also our goal at Martin Gardner Architecture.  Through our buildings we enrich the lives of workers, patients, worshippers, and the general public.  What better way to spread our message than through a medium designed with the same goals in mind.  Iowa Public Radio reaches the communities we live and work in and their programming touches our clients.
