The Hannibal Lectern is where people look when they want to know what is open, what is happening, who died, who won and when the meeting is. That is a different kind of attention than a social feed, and it is the kind that walks customers through a door.
Every placement runs sitewide, on every page, not just the homepage. Ads rotate through a small pool rather than being sold to one buyer, so the rate stays low and every ad still gets real airtime instead of getting lost.
Covering more than one town? Run your ad across the network — Kirksville Wire, Moberly Mainline and NEMO Sports Central alongside the Lectern — for less than booking each site separately. See regional rates →
Leaderboard
Top-of-page placement, rotates with a small pool of other advertisers so every ad still gets real visibility.
Medium Rectangle
Sits alongside the Alerts, News and Sports boxes — one of the most-viewed spots on the page.
In-Article / Footer Banner
Appears inside articles and in the footer rotation — catches readers already engaged with a story.
Run-of-Site Banner
The wide divider ad that runs between every box on the homepage — Alerts, News, Sports, Calendar and the folder directory. The most repeated exposure on the site.
Run-of-Site Bundle — all four placements — Limited-Time Sale
Book any single placement or the bundle for 6+ months and save 10% — applied automatically at checkout.
Video Ads — Homepage Hero
Your video plays front and center at the very top of the homepage, in the same box as our commercial spot — autoplaying, sound-capable, and the first thing every visitor sees. It runs in rotation with a house filler clip between plays, so it is never buried in a busy ad stack.
10 Second
A quick, punchy spot — great for a logo/tagline flash or a single offer.
20 Second
Room for a short story — who you are, what you offer, how to reach you.
30 Second
The standard commercial length — enough to make a real case for your business.
45 Second
More room to tell your story, show your work, or feature multiple products.
60 Second
A full minute — our longest spot, for a complete story or several messages in one.

Monthly ads run until you stop them, and stopping one should not require a phone call. Put in the email address you paid with and we will send you a link to your own billing page, where you can cancel, swap the card on file, or pull a receipt. Cancelling takes effect at the end of the month you have already paid for, and we never ask why.
We send the link to the address itself rather than opening it here, so that nobody can cancel your advertising by typing in your email.
