WORD ON THE STREET
SPONSOR TESTIMONIALS
“The wine industry is an integral part of the Finger Lakes Region. We feel the same way about Public Radio and WXXI/WRUR/WEOS. Living in Geneva, we wholly believe in supporting the station that provides us with not only the national news, but also local news and events. For our part, we see underwriting as an investment in a public service that serves us all well and it is important to us that it remains a vibrant, well-funded organization. Additionally, as underwriters we believe we receive the added value of a return on our investment. We are happy to be associated with the stations above. We are also proud to be a part of the member card and offer discounts to others who believe in supporting public radio locally.”

“One of the greatest benefits of partnering with WXXI is exposure to concerned community members who value learning about news, culture and local happenings. Last December, we worked with WXXI to help generate more awareness about our business and drive holiday sales. This was the first time we have ever paid for advertising. It was a fantastic investment as our holiday sales surpassed our expectations. We look forward to a long partnership with WXXI.”

“WXXI is like an old friend. The conversations are informative, meaningful, and enriching. Whenever I am in need of a balanced story on anything in our community, I turn to WXXI. Our community is so rich in the arts that it is sometimes difficult to know what’s going on. Whether music, art, fiction, community events, I am sure to get the details from my local public station. I trust WXXI like I trust an old friend. Honest, accurate, and balanced—in crisis or as a part of daily life.”
Lynn Lubecki
Rochester Childfirst Network
“I have listened to NPR for many years, and count on the unbiased, detailed information it provides. I began contributing to WXXI over 15 years ago, when I was an undergraduate at the University of Rochester. As a student and single mother, I was only able to give $10 or $20 at a time. It makes me so happy to be able to be an underwriter and contribute more substantially to something that gives people such a powerful resource: knowledge.”
