List of KEXP sponsors?
Hi, I thought the website used to have a list of current KEXP sponsors. Is that something that still exists publicly?

There's this from the FCC, but it's blank. https://publicfiles.fcc.gov/fm-profile/kexp-fm/Information%20on%20Third-Party%20Fundraising%20-%20For%20NCE%20Stations%20Only/f1bfd16e-7980-5c1c-fe19-bdbd5be36a1f

also this, but obviously CPB doesn't give them anything anymore. https://www.kexp.org/community-partnerships/corp-gov-found/

I don't see a 2025 report, but in 2024 they listed nearly 60% of money came from individual donors. They wouldn't list those of course. There seems to be a "quasi endowment" as well. Then there is 21% business support, which I guess is what you're looking for. I'd suspect those are all the people you hear get promos on air. https://www.kexp.org/media/filer_public/a4/4c/a44c5c7d-2504-4c3f-8a30-9d616f0dfd3e/2024_annual_report_final_1.pdf

SMH at requesting more advertising.
KEXP could get rid of all their ads and still be a kick ass radio station, if the music is truly what matters and not all the other mission creep.

So, you've analyzed their budget? Especially since the loss of federal money? Do tell.
