Fireside Aces Radio / Advertising with UE Student Media
Connect your business, event, or organization with students, faculty, staff, parents, alumni, and the University of Evansville community.
Start with a Fireside website placement, then add radio messages, podcast commercials, or a season sponsorship. Podcast and video page tiles put a clear offer beside the programming your campaign supports.
Rates are in US dollars. Updated October 29, 2026. An inquiry starts a conversation; it does not reserve space or confirm a booking.
A practical place to start
Each price covers one ad unit on one agreed page for 30 consecutive days, including a destination link. Send readers to a menu, event registration, job listing, or a specific offer.
| Placement | 30-day price | Page scope |
|---|---|---|
| Listen page sponsor unit | $60 | One agreed unit on the listen page |
| Homepage sponsor unit | $40 | One agreed homepage position |
| Podcast or video page sponsor tile | $40 | One selected show or production page |
These rates replace the previous 16-week website schedule. Placement suitability, position, creative requirements, dates, and any rotation are confirmed before booking. Sitewide delivery and exclusivity are not included. Video-page sponsorship tiles use the listed website rate; custom video production is quoted separately.
Commercials are single ad placements. They are distinct from the multi-mention sponsorships that follow. Custom recording and production are quoted separately.
| Commercial | Per episode | Included delivery |
|---|---|---|
| Recorded commercial | $50 | One advertiser-supplied 15–30 second commercial in one episode |
| Host-read commercial | $125 | One 15–30 second host-read commercial and call to action in one episode |
| Sponsorship | Price | Included benefits |
|---|---|---|
| Episode sponsor | $500 | Beginning, middle, and end mentions in one episode, with an agreed message and call to action |
| Five-episode sponsor | $2,500 | The same benefits in five agreed episodes: 15 mentions total |
| Show sponsor | $5,000 | One defined 10-episode season: 30 mentions, a linked show-page sponsor graphic during agreed dates, and a sponsor tag or credit in show-related social posts published during that period |
Show sponsorship covers one defined 10-episode season, not a show’s lifetime. Other episode counts require a quote. Campaign dates, message, episodes, page placement, and available social accounts are agreed in writing. No minimum social-post count or category exclusivity is promised.
Anonymous sponsorship is available at the same $500, $2,500, and $5,000 prices. Student Media retains identity for administration but omits it from public presentation. Choose an unnamed acknowledgment or no public credit; brand messages, links, and social tags are omitted. Sponsorship does not purchase editorial influence. A host-read message does not imply personal use or endorsement.
| Schedule | 30-day price | Included delivery |
|---|---|---|
| One message daily | $50 | 30 scheduled messages over 30 consecutive days |
| Two messages daily | $100 | 60 scheduled messages over 30 consecutive days |
Messages are 15–30 seconds. Advertisers supply audio; production is quoted separately. Scheduling and technical delivery must be confirmed before a booking is accepted. A scheduled message is not a listener or impression guarantee.
Each package places your advertisement in one digital flip-through issue of Crescent Magazine and includes the linked Crescent website placement shown here for 30 days. Included website space is part of the package price.
| Magazine placement | Per issue | Included Crescent website placement |
|---|---|---|
| Double inside front cover | $900 | One homepage banner |
| Back cover | $650 | One homepage banner |
| Inside front cover | $600 | One top-of-article ad |
| Inside back cover | $550 | One top-of-article ad |
| Full page | $500 | One middle-of-article ad |
| Half page | $275 | One middle-of-article ad |
| Quarter page | $150 | One bottom-of-article ad |
Our target is $1,500 in advertising revenue allocated to an issue to support a planned 1,500-copy print edition. Print is included only when funded and confirmed. We confirm quantity and distribution dates; any smaller run is disclosed. Copies printed do not equal readers.
If print is not funded, we agree on a digital-only alternative and price before invoicing. Artwork dimensions, trim, bleed, safe margins, and deadlines must be confirmed before production.
Plan a coordinated campaign while choosing specific pages and dates for each brand.
| Placement on Crescent | 30-day price | Page scope |
|---|---|---|
| Homepage banner | $100 | One agreed homepage position |
| Section or issue sponsor tile | $60 | One selected section or issue page |
| Top of article | $60 | One selected article page |
| Middle of article | $45 | One selected article page |
| Bottom of article | $25 | One selected article page |

This is a dated, team-reported snapshot for the rolling past 30 days in October 2026, not permanently current statistics or independently audited audience totals. Events are interactions, not people or ad impressions.
According to Student Media, podcasts average approximately 1,000 downloads per 10-episode season. Downloads are not unique listeners. Radio has an estimated 20–25 daily listeners, not independently verified. Website activity does not capture all audio listening.
Audiences overlap and are not added together. We do not guarantee impressions, clicks, listeners, redemptions, or sales. Agree on available reporting before booking. Tagged links and advertiser offer codes can help measure response; ad impressions are reported only if actual impression measurement is implemented and validated.
Tell us your preferred option, audience, dates, budget, destination link, and whether your artwork or audio is ready.
We check placement availability, scope, creative requirements, production charges, reporting, and any audio scheduling or print funding.
We agree on price, delivery dates, and materials before invoicing or confirming a reservation.
