For non-profit organisations of any size, fundraising is a major concern. This has become more urgent in the present economic climate. CHBN - Truro's Community and Hospital Radio Station - is fortunate in having much local support, yet the costs of keeping the show on air 24/7 are continually rising.

The sale of advertising is a natural choice for raising funds, and enables CHBN to continue to serve Cornwall's hospital patients and the wider community. With this in mind, we are seeking local businesses and sponsors that would like to take advantage of the exposure a local radio station can offer.

Our range of advertising packages suits all needs and budgets, and the durations can be as little as 30 days or up to one year. Other benefits include your company name and logo listed on our website, and a link from our website to yours.

The costs are surprisingly moderate, and the potential audience is extensive. CHBN's transmission area on 100.8 FM has a resident population of about 30,000. Nearly half a million inpatients and outpatients visit Cornwall's hospitals every year, and there are shoppers, students and commuters to Truro, as well as listeners online, on app or smart speaker.

If you’ve never tried radio advertising before, why not give it a go? As well as raising awareness of your own business, you will be giving valuable support to the hospital patients and the listeners in the community.

Our programmes have a focus on matters of health and wellbeing, and offer a wide range of music genres you won’t find in any commercial station. We’ve just been nominated for four Hospital Broadcasting Association awards, to be announced in March.
