ADVERTISING AND PARTNERSHIPS AT CKUT 90.3 FM
CKUT offers dynamic on-air and digital advertising options for businesses, cultural event organizers, and community or student groups. Whether you’re promoting an upcoming show, a community initiative, or a grassroots project, CKUT helps you connect with targeted, engaged audiences across Montreal.
Why Advertise with CKUT?
Radio cuts through the noise.
Unlike social media feeds that are easy to scroll past or block, radio reaches people when they’re truly listening—driving, working, cooking, creating. It builds trust by speaking directly to engaged, loyal audiences.
At CKUT 90.3 FM, your message isn’t lost in a sea of corporate noise. It stands out, gets heard, and resonates with communities that care.
Affordable. Targeted. Authentic.
Radio advertising delivers real connection—and real results.
-
Affordable Rates: Get your message out without breaking the bank.
-
Targeted Reach: Speak directly to diverse, attentive listeners who are tuned in—not just tuned out.
-
Authentic Exposure: Your message won’t get buried in a flood of commercial ads.
Contact our Advertising & Partnerships Department at partnerships@ckut.ca for rates and booking information.
