It cannot be used to promote a for-profit business or any other organization’s goods and/or services. It may not be used to provide a forum for discussion or advocacy of political or religious issues. Sponsorship days are reserved on a first come, first served basis. Each Day consists of 8 individual 20 second spots (4 on KNPR, 4 on KCNV).
