I haven't heard the sponsorship recently, but my guess is that Keane is not
a sponsor of UNC, but rather that of one of the national programs WUNC
broadcasts. I ran into the WUNC ad reps yesterday at a business show and
asked them about it. They didn't recognize Keane, so this is probably the
case.

If so, you would need to contact NPR, APR, or whoever produces the program
that the spot is part of. I don't think WUNC can cut part of a feed they
use.
