Sponsor Minnesota Midday
Minnesota Midday is our free noon catch-up: three verified Minnesota stories in about a minute, every day. One local business a week can be the sponsor.
What your business gets
- On the video: "Minnesota Midday is brought to you by Your Business" on the closing screen of every noon video for the week, on YouTube, TikTok, Instagram and Facebook.
- In the caption: the same line, with your name, under each noon video.
- On the website: a labeled sponsor line with a link on every Minnesota Midday briefing page that week.
- In the email: one labeled sponsor line in our 6 AM and 5 PM daily emails that week.
Who it's for
Minnesota businesses that want local people to know their name: shops, restaurants, contractors, clinics, credit unions, realtors, resorts, auto shops and more. One sponsor per week, so you are never one of many.
Honest numbers
While You Were Out is a new show, launched in fall 2026 from Brainerd, Minnesota, and growing every week. In its first weeks our videos passed 25,000 views on YouTube and Facebook alone, plus TikTok and Instagram. We'll send you the current numbers for Minnesota Midday before you decide, and a short report after your week.
Our rules
- Every sponsor mention is clearly labeled Sponsored.
- Sponsors never influence what we cover or how. We don't endorse, review or vouch for sponsors.
- No political campaigns or causes, and nothing we can't stand behind.
