Founding Underwriters

Early support matters.

Businesses that joined during the launch phase may receive special founding pricing. Founding pricing recognizes early support and does not necessarily reflect the future retail value of the package.

Murphys Community Radio reserves the right to update public package pricing for future underwriters while honoring existing founding agreements.
