You want your business published on WANE 15, on wane.com, where northeast Indiana actually reads its news. This page answers that want completely: whether a business can buy an article on WANE, what the article looks like, who it is right for, how publishing works step by step, what decides the price, and the one email that starts it. When you finish reading, the only thing left is the decision.
The short answer: yes, a business can buy an article on WANE 15
Yes. A business can be published on WANE 15 through a paid article placement on wane.com. This is not pitching a story to a WANE reporter and hoping the newsroom picks it, and it is not crossing your fingers for an editorial spotlight. It is a defined route: a sponsored article about your business, published on the station's own website, reviewed before it goes live, and permanent once published.
Arranging that placement is what we do. You do not need a news hook, a media contact, or a lucky break in a slow news week. You need a business worth writing about and one email to us. For the wider picture of how paid placements work across outlets, our guide to which news outlets accept sponsored content explains the landscape honestly.

What you actually get: your business in a WANE 15 headline
Picture the finished article first, because it is the thing you are buying. A live page on wane.com carries your business name in the headline and your story in the text: what you do, who you serve, and what makes you the right choice in Fort Wayne. It lives on the same site your customers open for local news, weather and sports.
From there, the link earns its keep. You send it to the customer who is comparing quotes. You add WANE 15 to the "As Featured On" row on your homepage, where it answers the trust question in a single glance. You use it in proposals and follow ups across northeast Indiana and northwest Ohio, the full stretch of the station's audience. A social post scrolls away by Friday. This page is still there, on Fort Wayne's news name, next month and next year.
Why WANE 15 carries weight in Fort Wayne
Fort Wayne is the 107th largest television market in the United States, and WANE 15 is its CBS affiliate, described as Fort Wayne's number one rated television and internet news source. Its newscast lineup is part of the city's daily furniture: First News in the morning, Noon, First at 5, News at Six, and Nightcast at 11, with The Highlight Zone wrapping up Friday night football at 11:10 p.m. during the season. People here do not just watch WANE; they plan their days around it.
The website carries the same weight. In our outlet directory, WANE carries a Domain Authority of 68 and roughly 2.2 million monthly organic visits. Those figures are the supporting proof. The main fact is local: when a Fort Wayne customer wants to check whether your business is real and established, wane.com is one of the first names they trust, and your article sits on it.
What a sponsored article on wane.com actually looks like
Here is the product, stated precisely. The article is a full page on wane.com itself, published on the station's real domain in front of its real audience.
It is labelled as paid content. That label is what makes the placement legitimate and built to last. The article is reviewed before it is published, so nothing goes live unchecked. Once published, the placement is permanent; there is no campaign end date at which your page comes down.
The article links to your website, and the links carry sponsored attributes, as paid content rules require. Anyone promising you a plain editorial dofollow link from a paid WANE placement is describing a product that does not exist. What exists, and what you get, is a permanent, credible page about your business on the market's leading news site.
One distinction deserves its own line. WANE viewers know the station's "Positively Fort Wayne" spotlights, where businesses appear inside editorial features. Those are the newsroom's choice; a business cannot buy one or schedule one. The paid article is the route with an actual publish path: you commission it, it is reviewed, and it goes live. This page sells the route that exists, not the one that depends on luck.
Who a WANE article is right for, and who should skip it
This placement fits Fort Wayne and northeast Indiana businesses whose customers live in the market, and firms across the state line in northwest Ohio that sell into the same audience. It suits any business that wins work on trust: contractors, professional services, established retailers, growing companies that need to look like what they are becoming.
It does not fit a business with no connection to this market and no use for a Fort Wayne credibility badge. If your customers will never see wane.com and the name means nothing to them, buy the outlet their own market trusts. We would rather tell you that now than take your money for the wrong stage. And if your business needs a far larger market instead, the PIX11 guide shows the same kind of placement in New York.
How publishing on WANE 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 entire 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. What decides it is covered in the next section.
Step 3: The article. You can supply the article yourself, or we arrange the writing for you. Either way, it goes through review before anything is published.
Step 4: Review and go live. The article is reviewed, approved, and published on wane.com.
Step 5: Your live link. You receive the live link to your article, yours to send to customers, add to your site, and use in every proposal from that day on.
Your protection is part of the deal 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. There is no version of this where you pay and end up with nothing.
What decides the price of a WANE article
There is no public price for a WANE article, and that is not a tactic. The price is set per placement because the factors differ for every business: the scope of the article, whether you supply it or we arrange the writing, the placement specifics, and timing. A published price list would price your article like everyone else's, so each placement is quoted individually, by email, with no obligation to proceed.
Our guide to how much a sponsored article costs explains the factor model behind the quote in full. The practical point: ask, and you get one clear number for your article, and that number is the whole price.
What a WANE article will not do
Three honest limits. First, the article is paid content and is labelled as such; it is not editorial coverage, it is not the WANE newsroom endorsing your business, and it is not a guaranteed "Positively Fort Wayne" style feature, which stays the newsroom's choice alone. Second, nobody can guarantee you search rankings, a traffic figure, or sales from a placement like this, and you should distrust anyone who tries. Third, the article does one job, permanently: it puts a credible, findable page about your business on Fort Wayne's news name. Buy it for credibility that compounds, not for overnight miracles.
