Underwriting (advertising) on KDLL

Tom Petty concert

KDLL is hosting a concert with Anything That's Rock and Roll, Tom Petty tribute band at 8 p.m. March 8 at The Flats. This is a fundraiser concert to support Pickle Hill Public Broadcasting, KDLL 91.9 FM.
General admission tickets are sold out. If you would like to be added to a wait list, please email KDLL General Manager Jenny Neyman.

We do still have tickets left for concert sponsors. Sponsorships help defray the band's booking fee. Concert sponsors will be traded value of their sponsorship donation for on-air underwriting spots that can be used for a business or organization of the donor's choosing, and get tickets to the event, as follows:

$500 sponsorship = $500 in underwriting value and a ticket to the show.

$1,000 sponsorship = $1,000 in underwriting and 2 tickets to the show

$2,000 sponsorship = $2,000 in underwriting and 4 tickets to the show

Concert sponsors will be thanked in on-air promos for the concert, live at the concert itself, in our social media, as well as with graphic ads on KDLL's website, with live links to your website or email. If interested in a concert sponsorship, contact Jenny at 907-394-6397 or by email here.
