Underwriting_Specific Information:

Underwriting announcements are limited to two per half hour and scheduled during all day parts from 6am to 1am on a rotating basis. Underwriters will receive equal rotation between daytime and nighttime programming. o underwriting announcements aired between 1am and 6am are included in the "air count" for the underwriter...

though underwriting announcements wlill air during this time These are simply considered a "bonus" when aired during this time. This means there is a total 76 available positions per day for underwriting (max). Specialty programming or special events will be excluded from rotated underwriting or may have additional underwriting
WDNP will accept up to 20 regular underwriters per month. Additional underwriting opportunities may exist for special programming. No additional regular underwriting opportunities will be available once these positions are taken (underwriting is very limited and on a first-come, first-served basis.)

Each underwriter's announcement will be between :20 and :30 seconds (no longer). By FCC regulation of non-commercial radio stations, underwriter's announcements cannot contain (1) pricing (2) unsubstantiated claims, or (3)calls to action.
Each underwriter's announcement will rotate equally with all other announcements 24/7 throughout all regular programming (less any leased time**), though as mentioned, those run between 1am and 6am are not counted towards total.
There will be two breaks for underwriter's announcements per regularly programmed half hour (this does not include leased time, special programming or features, or special events like sports). Each break will include one station promotional announcement, two underwriter's announcements, and one public service announcement (WDNP reserves the right to modify this at as necessary at a later time)
Al underwriters' announcements are prepaid (no billing) and discounts of 10% will be applied for longer support terms. Underwriting is non-refundable
For special events or sporting events where additional breaks are included, DNP 102.3 will accept up to 12 additional underwriters for these events. Their underwriting announcements will rotate evenly with WDNP's regular underwriters. The underwriting rate for special events will vary at $50 per event and include up to five announcements n this programming
Underwriting_Rules:
1) No Prices - DNP 102.3 cannot announce any prices or discount percentages 2 Unsubstantiated Claims - Wording like "we`'re the best", "no one sells for less", "#1 dealer in the county", etc. cannot be said in announcement. Substantiated claims like "In business for over 25 years", or "Voted #1 in the Times-Reporter's reader pol can be made, but again, all claims must be true and substantiated 3) Calls To Action- Underwriting announcements cannot contain wording like "go to", "call them today", "call us now", "be sure to stop by", etc. These announcements can include physical addresses, web sites, phone numbers, etc., but without the working that tells the listeners to "go to", "visit", "call now" (as described above). 4) Additionally, any announcement run on a commercial station is very likely to be un- useable on DNP 102.3 as these generally include the above three items
