You want your business featured on WHNT, on whnt.com, the site of Huntsville's News 19. This page gives you the complete answer: whether a Rocket City business can buy a feature on WHNT, what the finished article looks like, who this audience actually is, what decides the price, and the one email that starts it. It also tells you plainly what our research did not find, because a guide that invents things is not a guide worth paying through.
The short answer: yes, a Huntsville business can get featured on WHNT
Yes. A Huntsville business can be featured on WHNT through a paid article placement on whnt.com. This is not pitching a story to News 19 and hoping the newsroom picks it up. It is a separate, legitimate route: a sponsored 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 media contact, 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 News 19's site
Picture the finished thing, because that is what you are buying. A live article page on whnt.com carries your business name in the headline and your story in the text: what you do, why Tennessee Valley customers choose you, and where to find you. It sits on the site Huntsville, Madison and Decatur check for news and weather.
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, in a market where proposals are read by engineers and programme managers who check everything. You add WHNT to the "As Featured On" row on your own website, and every visitor understands in one second that News 19 published a story about your business. That moment of recognition is the product. Everything else on this page is how it is made, what decides its price, and how to start.
Why WHNT carries weight in the Tennessee Valley
WHNT began broadcasting on Thanksgiving Day, November 28, 1963, the first new station launched in the United States in the days after the Kennedy assassination. It has been part of this valley's life ever since, and it holds a distinction no other Huntsville station can claim: it is the only station in the market that has never changed its network affiliation, carrying CBS for its entire existence. In a market of affiliation swaps, News 19 has been one thing for six decades.
It has also led the market technically: first in Huntsville with digital and high definition broadcasts in May 2002, and first to air all of its news in 16:9 widescreen in August 2008. Its long running slogan, "Taking Action. Getting Results.", states the brand the way the valley knows it: a station that presents itself as working on the viewer's behalf.
The numbers sit underneath, stated plainly. In our outlet directory, whnt.com carries a Domain Authority of 80 and roughly 122,200 monthly organic visits. Strong authority, modest volume, printed exactly as they are. The case for WHNT is the market's constant, a trusted name in a city of people who verify things for a living, not a flood of traffic.
What a sponsored article on whnt.com actually looks like
The article is a full page on whnt.com, in the standard paid content form: labelled as sponsored, reviewed by the outlet before it is published, permanent once it goes live. 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.
One honest note belongs in this section, and this guide will not bury it. Our research found no public station page describing a sponsored article strand on whnt.com, and this page does not invent one. What is described here is the placement itself: the labelled, reviewed, permanent article form, arranged through us. A guide that admits the limit of what it found is a guide whose other claims you can check and trust.
Rocket City reads local: who this audience actually is
Huntsville is not a generic small market. It is the Rocket City economy: NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center, a deep bench of defence and technology employers, a major university, and one of the fastest growing professional workforces in the South. The customers a Huntsville business sells to are engineers, programme managers, contractors and the homeowners who move here to work alongside them.
Local news is the shared civic surface for exactly those people. They follow valley news the way they follow their programmes: closely, sceptically, and with a habit of checking sources. A business article on the site they already trust lands differently here than in a market where local news is background noise. That audience quality, stated without invented demographics, is a large part of what you are buying. If you want to compare outlet types before deciding, our guide to which news outlets accept sponsored content lays out the landscape honestly.
Who a WHNT article is right for, and who should skip it
This placement fits Tennessee Valley businesses: defence adjacent services, technology firms, home services, healthcare and professional practices, and any Huntsville company whose customers verify before they buy. In this market, that is most serious businesses.
It does not fit a business with no Tennessee Valley customers. If nobody who matters to you reads Huntsville news, a Huntsville article cannot help you, and we would rather tell you that now than sell you the wrong placement.
How publishing on WHNT 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 whnt.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 WHNT 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 News 19 endorsing your business. No one can guarantee rankings, traffic or sales from a placement like this. What the article does, permanently, is put a credible page about your business on the site the Tennessee Valley trusts.
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 WHNT article begins.
