FY27 Pricing Information
Dear Colleagues,
I hope this message finds you well. I am writing today to share APM’s pricing approach for the FY27 fiscal year.
The past year has been one of unprecedented change across public media. Together we have navigated a rapidly evolving business landscape while staying true to our mission. APM is proud to be your partner as we navigate this change together and we remain committed to supporting stations with a strong, diverse portfolio of programming, products, and services.
Earlier this year, we sent a brief anonymous survey to stations to better understand the post rescission landscape. Thank you to the more than 70% of you who took the time to respond. Your candid feedback was invaluable and played a key role in guiding our FY27 pricing decisions.
APM’s FY27 pricing will reflect a 2% year-over-year increase. In a landscape defined by ongoing change and financial pressure, it is our hope that this measured approach helps you plan for the year ahead while allowing APM to continue investing in the programs, services, and support you rely on.
Together, as we look ahead to FY27, APM is pleased to offer broadcast and multi-platform opportunities to support audience engagement and your business:
Marketplace and Distributed Media Lab (DML): In partnership with DML, enhance Marketplace broadcast value with seamless multiplatform syndication of Marketplace web stories on your website (read more here: Current.org / March).
This Old House Radio Hour: No FY27 carriage fee for each weekly 1-hour episode of America’s most trusted source of home improvement, craftsmanship and restoration.
The Daily, from the New York Times: No FY27 carriage fee for this 30min, M-F, deep, textured portrait of the characters and human stakes driving the news.
Smart CPM: In partnership with StreamGuys, a turnkey sponsorship opportunity designed specifically for public media that helps maximize the value of digital inventory while maintaining your mission and values.
Your Station Relations Representative will be reaching out in the weeks ahead to share additional details related to FY27 pricing, answer any questions you may have, and discuss APM opportunities that may be of interest to you and your audiences.
Thank you, as always, for your continued support, feedback, and partnership. We look forward to another year of working together to serve audiences and strengthen public media.
Best,
