You want your business featured on KOIN, on koin.com, the site of Portland's KOIN 6 News. Search for it and you will find three different KOIN routes tangled together: a lifestyle show, a community programme for schools, and the website article. Only one of them is a business product. This page untangles all three, gives you the complete answer on the article, what decides its price, and the one email that starts it.
The short answer: yes, a Portland business can get featured on KOIN
Yes. A Portland business can be featured on KOIN through a paid article placement on koin.com. Let us clear the two confusions immediately. This is not a booking on Everyday Northwest, the station's lifestyle show. And it is not the station's community publishing programme, which exists for local schools. It is a separate, legitimate route: a written article about your business, labelled as paid content, reviewed by the outlet before it goes live, and permanent once published.
We arrange placements like this for businesses, which means the route is already defined. You do not need a publicist, a producer's phone number, or a news hook. You need a business worth writing about and one email to us. The rest of this page explains exactly what happens next, because a decision like this should rest on the full picture, not on a pitch.

What you actually get: your business on KOIN 6's site
Picture the finished thing, because that is what you are buying. A live article page on koin.com carries your business name in the headline and your story in the text: what you do, why Portland customers choose you, and where to find you. It sits on the site the metro checks for news, weather and everything local.
Then the article starts working for you. You send the link to the customer deciding between you and a competitor. You put it in the proposal that needs one more proof point. You add KOIN to the "As Featured On" row on your own website. Portland businesses already treat a KOIN feature as an asset worth announcing: local firms publish their own press releases when they are featured on the station's lifestyle programme. That instinct is correct. The article is the permanent, written version of that asset, and it stays yours.
Why KOIN carries weight in Portland
KOIN began broadcasting on October 15, 1953, as Portland's first VHF television station, and it made the city's first colour broadcast on August 14, 1954. It holds a distinction no other Portland station can claim: it is the only station in the market that has kept its primary network affiliation, CBS, for its entire history. In a business where affiliations swap and brands churn, KOIN has been one thing, in one city, for more than seventy years.
The name goes deeper still. KOIN reaches back to Portland radio in 1925, taking the KOIN name in 1926, which gives the brand a century of presence in this city. Institutions like that are not built by marketing. They are built by showing up every day for generations.
The numbers deserve the same honesty. In our outlet directory, koin.com carries a Domain Authority of 81, the highest of any outlet in this series of guides, and roughly 161,200 monthly organic visits. The authority is exceptional; the visit count is modest, and this page prints both exactly as they are. The case for KOIN is a powerful, century rooted local name, not a flood of traffic.
What a sponsored article on koin.com actually looks like
The article is a full page on koin.com itself. It is labelled as paid content, and that labelling is what makes the placement legitimate and durable. The outlet reviews the article before it is published, so what goes live has passed the outlet's own check. Once live, the placement is permanent. It does not disappear when a campaign ends, because there is no campaign window attached to it.
The article links to your website, and those links carry sponsored attributes, as paid content rules require. Anyone promising you a plain editorial dofollow link from a paid placement is describing something that does not exist. And the site's high authority is a directory figure, never a ranking promise; any seller who converts it into one should be walked away from.
The written feature culture around this station is easy to see. Everyday Northwest, its lifestyle programme, is planned around local businesses and guests, and the "featured on" announcements those businesses publish afterwards show how much a KOIN feature is worth in this market. Your article sits in that same current, in written form.
Everyday Northwest is a show. The schools programme is not a business product. This is a website article
Three KOIN routes get tangled in search, so here they are, separated.
First, Everyday Northwest is a broadcast lifestyle show built around local guests. An appearance is a broadcast arrangement: it airs, and then it is over except as a clip and an announcement.
Second, the station runs a community publishing programme that lets local schools post school news. It serves schools and their communities, and it is not a business marketing product at all. A business cannot buy its way into it, and this page does not sell it.
Third, the article: a written piece about your business on koin.com, reviewed before publishing, permanent, searchable, and carrying your link. That is the business product, and it is the one this page sells. If you are comparing placement routes more widely, our guide to which news outlets accept sponsored content explains how they differ across outlets.
Who a KOIN article is right for, and who should skip it
This placement fits Portland metro businesses, on both sides of the river: local firms, professional services, retailers, restaurants and trades whose customers live in this metro and check its news. It is especially strong for businesses that sell on trust, where the customer researches before they buy.
It does not fit a business with no Portland metro customers. And it does not fit a school looking for the community programme, which is a separate, editorial route for schools and is not sold here.
How publishing on KOIN 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 that your business and topic fit the outlet, and you receive your individual quote.
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 koin.com, fast once the review is complete, with the exact timeline confirmed in your quote.
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 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 KOIN article, and this page is not hiding one. The price is set per placement because the factors differ every time: the scope of the article, whether you supply it or we arrange the writing, the placement specifics, and timing. Every placement is quoted individually, by email, with no obligation. Our guide to how much a sponsored article costs explains the factor model in full, and our services page covers the wider picture of what we arrange.
The limits, plainly. The article is paid content and is labelled as such. It is not editorial coverage and it is not KOIN 6 News endorsing your business. No one can guarantee rankings, traffic or sales from a placement like this, and the site's high authority figure is never a promise about your position in search results. What the article does, permanently, is put a credible page about your business on one of the strongest local news domains in the country.
If that is what you want, write to uzairasad@pressfeature.org with your business name, your website and your story. That email is how a KOIN article begins.

Yes, in the form of clearly labelled paid content, reviewed by the outlet before publishing and permanent once live.
