Rate Card

The interaction with clients becomes the final determiner of the rate card depending on the audience required. Our audience is not the same for programs. There are prime time slots which are the morning (06-09 am, Mondays to Fridays), (06-09 Saturday), Afternoon Mondays to Fridays. (15-18 pm), and early evening slots, Monday to Friday.
There are particular concessions based on package a partner has agreed to purchase based on the effort put in producing such a package.

A detailed plan for a particular media campaign and a pitch are key documents that contain final costs for airtime and production costs. UCR FM has qualified media buyers and media planners to offer advice on packages for media buying and production options.

A media campaign might include other provisions that are not particular offered by UCR FM for instance if a client requests. For example a client might request pamphlets to be distributed in taxi ranks with information that is already being broadcast by UCR fm. UCR FM will work with the clients to ensure that the campaign is done simultaneously and successfully.
