Narrow Highway is funded in part by aligned businesses through the classic radio-era "Presented by" sponsor model — not commercials. Niche audiences turn out to be MORE valuable to the right brand, not less. We never sell user data, never run mid-roll ads, never use behavioral targeting, never accept credit cards. Sponsors pay a flat fee in crypto, get tasteful credit on the surface they underwrite, and that's it.
On the channel — a 5-second card at the start of a show, a 6-second outro at the end. That's the entire ad load. No mid-roll. No banner overlay. No tracking pixel.
On the site — a small "Presented by [Sponsor]" chip beneath the page header, clearly labeled, never animated. A footer card at the end of a lesson or hymn or packet thanks the sponsor and links out (regular HTTP link, no tracking).
| Tier | What you sponsor | Approx. price range |
|---|---|---|
| Block sponsor | One 2-hour block on the FAST channel for 30 days (e.g. weekday primetime sci-fi) | $300–$1,500 / mo |
| Show sponsor | One specific show or series for 30 days (e.g. the Spurgeon Morning & Evening readings) | $200–$1,000 / mo |
| Curriculum track | One subject × age tier for a semester (e.g. Math for grades 6–8) | $500–$2,500 / sem |
| Tool sponsor | One specific tool for 30 days (e.g. Hymns 24/7 deck, or the Apothecary) | $150–$800 / mo |
| Season sponsor | All major surfaces for a 90-day season | $5,000–$25,000 / season |
| Founding-year sponsor | Whole-platform underwriting for 12 months — marquee credit | negotiated |
Pricing is operator-set per outreach and per surface popularity. The personal-side experience never depends on a sponsor existing — if no one underwrites a track, it still ships.
We work especially well with:
Same standard we apply to every partner. Sponsors must:
| You get | You do NOT get |
|---|---|
| Tasteful "Presented by" credit on your sponsored surface (start + end card) | Mid-roll ads, pre-roll skip buttons, banner overlays |
| Logo + link on the surface and the transparency page | Behavioral targeting, pixel tracking, retargeting |
| Brand association with quality programming | Editorial influence — we never change content because of sponsor preferences |
| Aggregate audience reporting (impressions, recurring viewers) | Visitor identities, email lists, or any user data — we never share it |
| Renewable 30 / 90 / 180-day terms | Auto-renew — every renewal is operator-confirmed by both sides |
| Crypto-wallet invoice + on-chain receipt (txid) | Credit-card processing (we don't run cards) |
Email partnerships@narrowhighway.com with: your brand name, the surface or surfaces you're interested in, your typical product line, and any audience or brand-lift goals.
We typically respond within a week with a fit-check, a tier recommendation, and a sample sponsor card mockup. If we're a fit, a 90-day evaluation period is the standard first step.
Aligned businesses fund the work; the audience trusts that the curation is unchanged by the funding. Sponsorship buys credit, not influence. The minute a sponsor tries to influence editorial decisions, the agreement ends.
