Support Rabun’s Community Radio Station.
WRBN 97.5 FM is Rabun County’s hometown radio station, focused on local voices, local stories, community nonprofits, and public service information. Community underwriting helps support that mission while connecting local organizations and businesses with listeners across Rabun County and the surrounding region.
As a noncommercial community radio station, WRBN recognizes supporting businesses, organizations, and institutions with on-air underwriting announcements rather than traditional commercial advertising. These acknowledgements identify the underwriter and may include business name, location, website, and value-neutral descriptions of products or services, consistent with FCC guidance for noncommercial stations.
WRBN underwriting is a good fit for
- Local businesses serving Rabun County and Northeast Georgia.
- Nonprofits, civic groups, and community organizations.
- Professional services, healthcare providers, retailers, restaurants, and hospitality businesses.
- Regional organizations that want to support local radio and public-service programming.
A typical underwriting message may include:
- Business or organization name.
- City or service area.
- Website, phone number, or street location.
- A factual, value-neutral description of services or products.
- An established slogan, when appropriate and compliant.
Because WRBN is a noncommercial station, underwriting copy cannot include:
- Price information, discounts, or special offers.
- Calls to action such as “stop by,” “visit today,” or “call now.”
- Comparative or qualitative claims such as “the best,” “award-winning,” or “lowest prices.”
- Promotional language that sounds like a commercial.
