Each package places your advertisement in one print issue and its digital flip-through edition 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 |

Our print goal: $2,800 in advertising sales per issue funds a 1,500-copy edition. If sales fall short, we still publish a smaller print run. Print copies are always distributed on campus and at local businesses around campus. Copies printed do not equal readers.
Print quantity is based on advertising sales and is confirmed before production. Website pages and dates are agreed in the order. Clickable flip-through links depend on platform support and are confirmed separately. Request current artwork specifications before production; trim, bleed, safe margins, deadlines, and the quarter-page mechanical require confirmation.

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 |
| Half-season 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 |
|---|---|---|
| Radio Sponsor · one message daily | $50 | 30 scheduled messages over 30 consecutive days |
| Radio Sponsor Plus · 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.
Plan a coordinated campaign while choosing specific pages and dates for each brand.
| Placement on Fireside | 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 |

Sources: GA4 and RSS.com show dashboards, captured October 31, 2026, as published in the 2026 media kit. Website totals are rounded; views include repeat visits. Views index uses previous period = 100, rounded from GA4’s reported growth. Downloads do not establish unique listeners. Selected shows are examples, not a network total.
Users, sessions, views, and downloads are different measures and are not added together. No clicks, redemptions, or sales are guaranteed. Reporting includes agreed, available delivery/click data; ad impressions are reported only when validated measurement is in place.
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.
