Underwriting guidelines

KJHK is proud to be a member of the Lawrence community and a supporter of local business. We want to help promote your message alongside our sweet tunes. In return, you help KJHK keep our airwaves flowing!

KJHK is an educational radio station, which means we are commercial-free. This is why our Development Director refers to your on-air promotional message as “spots” rather than “ads.” Since we follow NPR style guidelines as opposed to commercial-radio station guidelines, it means we write our scripts differently.

On-air spots

  • Are 15-30 seconds
  • Share event/service details
  • Share where to find information
  • Cannot include value statement
  • Cannot include calls to action

Meet our Development Director: Lauren Braun

Hey there! My name is Lauren and I am the Development Director at KJHK. My role is handling how KJHK spotlights local businesses, organizations and non-profits through underwriting. Last year at KJHK, I was the Live Events Director. I helped plan KJHK events like Farmers Ball, Thrift Fundraiser and KJHK’s 50th Birthday Party. Outside of KJHK, I am a senior at KU studying digital marketing as well as photography in the journalism school. I also enjoy local music and art, as well as getting outside as much as I can!
