Sunuafrik Radio Media Kit/Page 6 of 9 ABOUT THE STATION
WPAT-930AM, is the flagship radio station of the operating entity known as Multicultural Radio Broadcasting Incorporated (MRBI), which owns about a dozen stations across the United States. The station’s reach covers the New York Tri-State Area, extending and reaching audiences within the states of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut, as well as portions of Pennsylvania. WPAT is the leading brokerage-radio entity in New York City and other major markets across the United States. It boasts of programming from most of the main cultural groups and languages, including English (American), Spanish, Russian, Turkish, French, Greek, Arabic, Portuguese, Indian and Creole. Languages spoken in the Caribbean and those from various African countries, such as Wolof (Senegal and Gambia), Bambara (Mali), Fulani (Guinea and across West Africa) are also heard.
Depending on the program, the listenership can range from a low of 2,000 to that in excess of 250,000. We believe at least an average of 100,000 people listen to the programs of Sunuafrik Radio, especially, African Music Morning. And, with the station’s extension online when the program streams live at wpat930am.com, the listenership goes beyond the confines of the New York Tri-State Area and may be reach much more people around the world.
Because of the wide range of programming on the station, the income level of listeners ranges from that of the hard-working low- earning/self-employed/laborer at $30,000 annually to the high- earning corporate staff/executive or businessperson in the six- figure bracket.
That’s why when you listen to WPAT-930AM, you truly are inside of a Global Village.
