Adver­tis­ing on UMFM asso­ciates your busi­ness or ser­vice with non-com­mer­cial cam­pus and com­mu­ni­ty radio. 75% of our bud­get comes from the stu­dents at the Uni­ver­si­ty of Man­i­to­ba. The oth­er 25% comes from com­mer­cial part­ner­ships and adver­tis­ing. The board of direc­tors must approve poten­tial adver­tis­ers. UMFM reserves the right to decline adver­tis­ing mate­r­i­al which it con­sid­ers inap­pro­pri­ate or offensive.

Rates effec­tive Jan­u­ary 1, 2024, and are sub­ject to change with­out notice.
