The WNNJ and WSUS Community Calendar whether presented online or on-air is a FREE service for those groups, individuals and organizations that cannot afford paid advertising in any form and that utilize no paid advertising, such as but not limited to cable TV, broadcast TV, newspapers, radio, direct mail, Internet, etc.

The spirit of this portion of our website, as well as the PSA material that is read on air, is to give those community organizations that have no way of paying for advertising a means to spread the word about their services and events. Posts that go against this spirit will be removed without notice.

If your organization is interested in partnering with either station to promote an upcoming event please contact: 

terrygillen@clearchannel.com

Please include a link to your site for inclusion for your event and submit your event information at least two weeks ahead of time.
