About

Advanced Media Partners

AMP (Advanced Media Partners, LLC) is the only locally owned, independent media group in a large or medium sized market in all of Illinois.  As such, all programming, promotion, marketing, community service, and business decisions are made right here in Central Illinois.

Our commitment to the local business community is part of our DNA. Every dollar spent with AMP stays within the local economy.  We don’t have the restraints of a far away home office or the burden to help service a corporate debt of a media conglomerate half way across the country.

We strive to provide informative and entertaining programming across our four radio stations. We limit the number of commercials we play each hour, so our clients’ messages can be heard. Our marketing team provides customized business solutions for our clients, driven by that commitment to Central Illinois.

Each of our foreground radio stations provide compelling content to our listeners and quality audiences to our advertisers.  Advanced Media also offers Event Marketing services and a wide range of Digital Marketing solutions to help our clients achieve maximum return from their marketing dollars.
