Because WEGB & WEGQ are non-commercial radio stations, FCC (Federal Communication Commission) rules do not allow us to air or sell commercial advertising. However, businesses and organizations, including churches, can underwrite WEGB & WEGQ and/or our programs.
If your business or organization underwrites FAITH FM or a program, we will air an underwriting spot that runs at least once a day 5, 7, or 2 days per week, depending on what you choose. The length of the underwriting spots is about no less than 30 seconds.
Underwriting Prices
For $200 we will air 2 underwriting spots per day M-F, one at the beginning of a half hour segment and one at the end. That amounts to 40 spots per month. To air 4 underwriting spots per day M-F (80 day spots during the daytime hours per month) it would $350 per month.
- Add Evenings M-F for $100 more per month. (40 more spots per month)

- Inducements to buy/sell/lease (“Sale this week!” “Free gift to the first 50 customers!”)
- Support for or opposition to a political candidate.
Underwriting spots can include:
