Sponsorship Opportunities on WRTI
WRTI is committed to championing music as a vital cultural resource through our core values: discovery, preservation, curation, performance and community. We invite like-minded sponsors to help us bring music to our audience of 307,000+ weekly listeners (RRC, Nielsen Audio Fall 2021, Persons 12+, M-Su 6a-12m, average cume), which includes our 20,000+ loyal members.
In addition to being the tri-state region’s only classical and jazz station, WRTI 90.1 also offers unique benefits to current and potential sponsors:
- BRAND-SAFE ENVIRONMENT: WRTI's commitment to excellence in programming and digital content makes it a safe environment that garners organic goodwill for sponsors.
- QUALITY & CREDIBILITY (“THE HALO EFFECT”): 70% of public radio listeners hold a more positive opinion of sponsors that support public radio and 73% of public radio listeners prefer to buy products or services from public radio sponsors (Kantar, NPR State of Sponsorship Survey, April 2021).

- CLUTTER-FREE ENVIRONMENT: WRTI limits the number of messages—only 3 minutes per hour—eliminating clutter so that listeners tune in to sponsor announcements rather than tune them out.

They are 43% more likely to have an individual income level of $250k+, 147% more likely to have a postgraduate degree, and 22% more likely to contribute money to arts and culture (PHILADELPHIA; Scarborough R2 2021: Jul20-Jul21; Metro; P 18+).
