5 Reasons to Include HPR in Your Communications and Marketing Plans

  1. Our network is strong. Hawai‘i Public Radio is the only NPR station in the state, and we are locally owned and operated. HPR-1 is Hawai‘i’s #1 Radio News Format and HPR-2 is the only classical music station in the state. Combined, HPR is among the top two most listened-to radio stations in Hawai‘i. And our streaming and digital platforms extend your reach. (Nielsen, DMA, Spring 2024, Persons 12+, Mon-Sun, 6am-12 midnight) 
  2. You’ll reach an audience coveted by businesses and marketers alike.  Public radio delivers your message to an audience of highly educated professionals, business executives, and government leaders. They are community-minded, actively participate in arts and cultural activities, and have the wherewithal to support their interests. 
  3. You’ll be in good company. You will be in the company of many of Hawai‘i’s leading and respected business, cultural, and nonprofit organizations. Plus, being an underwriter of HPR says a lot about who you are. 
  4. Community recognition goes a long way. Our audience appreciates the station’s corporate supporters – in fact, almost one in two members patronize local businesses that support HPR. Your support builds a connection with our listeners, elevates preference for your brand, and presents your company as a community partner and leader. (HPR Membership Survey 2023). 
  5. We focus on you. We’re interested in learning about what’s important to you, and we will work with you to create a campaign with your objectives and budget in mind.

We offer a variety of strategies that will highlight your company and strengthen relationships within the community: Broadcast Announcements, All Platform Digital Ads, E-Newsletter Ads, Streaming, and Sponsorships. And we’d love to provide a consultation, including a customized media plan with crafted messages for your consideration.

"We are proud underwriters of Hawai‘i Public Radio. HPR is my radio station of choice. I love listening to the radio and hearing “this show is underwritten by Kumu Kahua Theatre,” because it makes me very proud of the work that we are doing and what we are choosing to support.”
Donna Blanchard, Managing Director, Kumu Kahua Theatre
“Being an underwriter is like a double blessing. First, I get to support my local public radio station, which is such a source of wonderful information and entertainment. It’s also a great business decision. Hawai‘i Public Radio is one of the most listened to radio stations in Hawai‘i.“
