Search for how to get your Bakersfield business on KGET and you will find something interesting: people are already paying third parties for help getting interviewed on this station's shows. That tells you the demand is real. What nobody offers you is the simpler, more durable version: a written article about your business, published on kget.com, that stays live and keeps working after any broadcast appearance is forgotten. This page explains that article completely: what it is, what it looks like, what decides its price, and the one email that starts it.
The short answer: yes, a Bakersfield business can get featured on KGET
Yes. A business can be published on kget.com through a paid article placement, arranged through us at PressFeature. This is not booking a Studio 17 interview, and it is not pitching a story to the 17 News newsroom. It is a separate, legitimate route: a sponsored article about your business that runs on the station's website, labelled as paid content, reviewed by the outlet before it goes live, and permanent once published.
You do not need an agent, a publicist or a news hook. You need a business worth writing about and one email. The rest of this page gives you the full picture, including the honest difference between a TV appearance and an article, so you can decide with everything in front of you.

What you actually get: your business on Kern County's news site
Picture the finished thing. A live article page on kget.com carries your business name in the headline and your story in the text: what you do, why Kern County customers choose you, and how to reach you. It sits on the same site, under the same 17 News name, that Bakersfield checks in the morning.
Then the article works in ways a broadcast spot cannot. You send the link to the customer who is comparing you with a competitor across town. You put it in the quote packet and the email signature block. You add KGET to the "As Featured On" row on your own website, and every visitor sees that Kern County's own news station published a story about your business. A TV appearance gives you a moment. The article gives you an asset you can hand to every future customer, forever.
Why KGET carries weight in Bakersfield
KGET is a survivor, and Bakersfield knows it. The station first broadcast on 8 November 1959, as KLYD, and it is one of a handful of American stations to have held a primary affiliation with all three big networks across its history: ABC from 1959 to 1974, CBS from 1974 to 1984, and NBC ever since. Outlets that last through every era of television earn a kind of trust no new name can buy.
Even the call letters are built from this county. KGET stands for Kern Golden Empire Television. The station works from studios on L Street in downtown Bakersfield, with its transmitter atop Mount Adelaide, and its morning audience starts the day with 17 News at Sunrise. The figures sit under that pedigree: in our outlet directory, kget.com carries a Domain Authority of 66 and roughly 702,000 monthly organic visits.
What a sponsored article on kget.com actually looks like
Precision matters, because it is where vague offers fall apart. The article is a full page on kget.com itself, on the site Bakersfield readers open alongside 17 News coverage. It is labelled as paid content, and that labelling is not a weakness; it is what makes the placement legitimate and durable. The outlet reviews the article before it is published, so what goes live has passed the station's own check. Once live, the placement is permanent.
The article links to your website, and those links carry sponsored attributes, as paid content rules require. Anyone who promises you a plain editorial dofollow link from a paid placement is describing something that does not exist. What you get instead is a permanent, credible page about your business on a site with real local authority, sending real readers to you.
Studio 17 interviews end. A website article stays
This is the separation that matters most on this page, because the market confuses it. Studio 17 is KGET's lifestyle interview setting, and third parties visibly market help getting businesses onto it. If an interview is what you want, that is a broadcast arrangement, and it behaves like one: it airs, it ends, and it lives on mainly as a memory and a screenshot.
The website article is a different purchase. It is written, so it can be searched and found months later. It is permanent, so it does not expire when a programme schedule turns. It is linkable, so you can send it to one customer or a thousand, and it carries your own website link inside it. This page sells the article, not the interview, and it sells it precisely because the article is the version that keeps working. Our guide to which news outlets accept sponsored content explains how the two routes differ across outlets.
Who a KGET article is right for, and who should skip it
This placement fits Bakersfield and Kern County businesses: the energy and agriculture economy of the southern valley, healthcare providers, home services, retailers, and any local firm whose customer researches before buying. If your buyer Googles you before signing, this is the page that should be waiting for them.
It does not fit a business with no Kern County customers. If nobody who matters to you reads kget.com, spend the money on the outlet your customers actually open. We would rather say that now than sell you the wrong placement.
How publishing on KGET works, step by step
Step 1: Email us. Write to uzairasad@pressfeature.org with your business name, your website, and what the article should be about. That email is the whole application. No form, no account, no retainer.
Step 2: Fit confirmation and your quote. We confirm your business and topic fit the outlet, and you receive your individual quote for this placement.
Step 3: The article. You can supply the article yourself, or we arrange the writing for you. Either way, the draft goes to the outlet for review before anything is published.
Step 4: Review and go live. The outlet reviews the article. Once approved, it is published on kget.com, fast once the review is complete.
Step 5: Your live link. You receive the live link to your article, yours to send to customers and add to your site from that day on.
Your protection is stated plainly because it is part of the arrangement before you pay anything: payment is in full in advance, and if the article does not go live, you receive a full refund, in writing.
What decides the price, the honest limits, and how to start
There is no public price for a KGET article, and TV appearances and spots are priced by the station's own operation, not quoted here. The website article is priced per placement, on the factors that differ between businesses: the scope of the article, whether you supply it or we arrange the writing, the placement specifics, and timing. Our guide to how much a sponsored article costs explains that factor model in full, and one email returns your exact figure with no obligation.
The limits, plainly. The article is paid content and is labelled as such; it is not editorial coverage and not the 17 News newsroom endorsing your business. No one can guarantee rankings, traffic or sales from a placement like this. What it does is put a credible, permanent page about your business on the news site Kern County trusts.
If KGET is the name your customers know, the next step is a single email. Write to uzairasad@pressfeature.org with your business name, your website, and the story the article should tell. Our services page covers the wider picture of what we do, and if you are weighing a national-scale station alongside this one, the PIX11 guide shows that route. The KGET article itself begins with that email.
