The Kentucky Statewide Classified Program was established by the Kentucky Press Association in July, 1984, as an effort for classified advertisers to have the opportunity to place a classified in newspapers throughout the state by making one call.

Under the plan, clients may place a classified through a participating newspaper and have that classified appear in some 69 newspapers representing about 1 million circulation.

Newspapers participating in the program agree to publish all submitted ads at no cost. In turn, participating newspapers selling a classified ad for the program receive commission from the program for each ad sold by the newspaper.

Newspapers selling classified ads for the Statewides receive $125 of the $250 basic price for 25 words, sending the ad and a check for $125 to KPA. For ads with more than 25 words, there is an additional $7 per word charge.

The Kentucky Statewide Classified Program can also place classified ads in a number of other states with similar programs. For a list of participating newspapers in Kentucky, and a list of other states and placement costs, please contact the KPA Central Office.

Statewide classified ads are posted online and e-mailed to participating newspapers each Thursday afternoon for placement the following week.

Cost: $250 for 25 words, with $7 charged for each word over 25.
