Advertise your Election Campaign

Our station offers advertising packages for varying budgets to candidates, political parties, and their election campaigns. Advertising on CHLY is a great way to connect with community-minded listeners who do not regularly tune in to commercial radio broadcasters in our region!

Political Advertising Policy

Voiceovers

IMPORTANT: The advertisement must be voiced by the candidate for elected office, or for third-party advertisers, their own voice talent.

Except for the Elections BC required “Authorized by…” message, our staff and volunteers will not voice political advertising.

Elections Act requirements

IMPORTANT: Disinformation is prohibited by Elections BC. Election advertising is also prohibited on the Final Voting Day. Advertisements must contain the necessary authorization messaging required by Elections BC. This must be included in your script at the end of your advertising message.

Examples include the following:

“Authorized by John Smith, financial agent, 604-123-4567”

“Authorized by Ray Lee, financial agent, jane.doe@email.com”

Broadcasting Act

IMPORTANT: Political advertising must comply with the Federal Broadcasting Act. CHLY-FM will not broadcast any material that tends or is likely to subject an individual, group, or class of individuals, to hatred or contempt on the basis of race, national or ethnic origin, religion, sex, age, mental or physical disability, or sexual orientation.

CHLY-FM reserves the right to not accept advertising or sponsorships from organizations or individuals whom the station believes are dealing with the public in a discriminatory manner or are not acting in the public interest.

Equitable access to advertising

This service is offered to all candidates and political parties and is available at the same cost to those seeking to advertise.
