Why Advertise on Radio? Radio goes everywhere with the consumer – home, auto, office, ballpark, walking, beach, etc. Radio is often the last medium consumers have contact with prior to making a purchase decision. Radio is a local medium and draws its strength from community involvement, local topics and disseminating information to listeners. Radio listeners are loyal to “their” radio station choice. Listeners identify with call letters, on-air personalities and radio station sponsored events by offering tremendous support of not only the station, but also advertisers. Listeners imagine visual scenes when they hear an on-air personality or listen to an ad – they get involved …and it sticks.
