Corporate Support
WCBU is an NPR member station delivering excellent local, national and international news, information and entertainment.
From Morning Edition to All Things Considered and beyond, NPR offers a non-intrusive, clutter-free environment for on-air and online underwriters. The concise and straightforward underwriting messages instill a sense of quality, credibility, and community connection between our audience and yours.
Audience
WCBU reaches more than 40,000 listeners weekly in 10 counties across central Illinois via our broadcast from the campus of Bradley University and listeners through WCBU.org and the NPR App. WCBU.org averages 79,000 monthly users and 111,000 unique page views.
Our audience is comprised of business owners, community leaders, decision makers, and influencers who are engaged and intensely loyal. NPR listeners are more than three times as likely than the average adult to be an Influential. Indeed, NPR reaches one of the highest concentrations of key community leaders in all of media. A large body of research suggests that Influentials are significantly more likely than other Americans to drive social trends, influence mass opinion, and create word of mouth for ideas and products.
