Here's what some of our advertisers have to say!

  • When we started advertising with KCSI, we really noticed an increase in the number of people in our business from the KCSI listening area. We appreciate KCSI and their staff for helping us write and record our ads, and love the fun promotions they offer – at an affordable rate! If you have a business, we would highly recommend advertising with KCSI. Sheryl, Clarinda

  • KCSI has been extremely accomodating in helping with my advertising needs.  They put such a personal spin on advertising with them, and make me feell like I am a part of the KCSI family.

  • KCSI does a great job helping us with our advertising and overall marketing.  We value our weekly interviews that always feature a KCSI special.  Most weeks we sell out of that item in minutes, that tells me that KCSI works in this market!
