POSITIVE COMMERCIAL CONTROL

Commercials are an integral part of our programming. Messages that our listeners hear and understand will be most effective.

It is our desire that our clients receive the greatest value for their advertising investment. With that goal in mind, KGEZ has developed a set of policies that exceed any known industry-standard. All commercial content that appears on KGEZ is subject to these standards.

  • Absolutely no competing products within a commercial break
  • Ten-minute separation between competing products
  • One commercial message per hour per sponsor*
