What the Corporate Circle Can Do For You

High-Value Year-Round Brand Exposure

WHYY reaches more than 1.5 million people each week across TV, radio, web, and podcasts — an audience that is engaged, educated, and deeply connected to their community.

The Public Media Halo Effect

WHYY is one of the most trusted media institutions in the region — and that trust extends to our corporate supporters.

Audience Loyalty & Purchase Intent

Research shows public media audiences are more likely to have a favorable view of brands that support their local stations — and more
likely to consider them when making buying decisions.

Civic Leadership & Local Commitment

Showcase your values by standing with WHYY as a champion of independent journalism, lifelong learning, and community connection.
