Who is the WFSU listener?

The essential quality that distinguishes public radio listeners from other media audiences can be aptly described by one word - 'more.' Public radio listeners are driven to learn more, to earn more, to spend more and to be more involved in their communities.

WFSU Listeners Are Your Best Customers

WFSU listeners have many traits and characteristics that make them some of your best customers. NPR listeners are community and business leaders and lead active lifestyles. WFSU programming reaches one of the most educated and affluent audiences in the region.

WFSU Listeners Will Hear Your Sponsorship Credit

Compared to commercial radio, public radio has fewer and shorter breaks, which reduces clutter and allows your message to reach the audience.

WFSU Listeners Appreciate Your Support

Public radio has loyal members and listeners, 80 percent of whom prefer to buy products from companies that support public radio. This 'halo effect' creates the ultimate connection between your company and WFSU's listeners.
