Political Sponsorship Policy

WSGE Radio will not accept sponsorship from candidates for political offices, campaign committees, or from organizations whose names by themselves might raise a political, controversial or divisive issue. An individual is considered to be a candidate for public office when that individual forms a campaign committee and/or begins fundraising. WSGE will discourage the use of day sponsorships for recognition (i.e., congratulations, thanks, etc.) of individuals who may be candidates for office.
