The last of our Media Sponsors is KOAMTV+, a valued partner who helps us reach audiences both on local television and through their KOAMTV+ app. Their team works with us to create and share commercials that spotlight upcoming performances and special events at the Bowlus. We appreciate their support and their commitment to helping us keep our community informed and excited about the arts.

Our next Media Sponsor is also based right here in Iola! Iola Radio - 101.5 KIKS & 1370 KIOL & not only helps us share news about our upcoming shows, but they also host our weekly segment called, "The Bowlus Scoop," which airs LIVE every Thursday. Their team is wonderful to work with and they are a valued partner in bringing timely updates to our community about everything happening at the Bowlus.

Our Sponsor Highlight series continues as we celebrate our Media Sponsors! The first is The Iola Register. They are more than our local newspaper. They are a dedicated Season Sponsor who helps us share the stories of our performers and keep the arts thriving in our community. Their partnership strengthens our mission and supports the artists who bring the Bowlus to life. We are truly grateful for their commitment to the arts and to Iola!
