Even with all the new media, radio is still a valuable marketing tool. It informs, educates,is flexible, targetable and intrusive.

Radio's unique strength is that it triggers the imagination. It is far, far more powerful to "think" of an image you hear being described than to see the actual image.

There were those who predicted radio's decline and fall when TV and then again, when the internet arrived. What really happened: TV became the mass messenger and radio became the marketer. Our customers pick, choose and listen to the type of radio format they like.

What we're doing when we choose the station to work/advertise with: we are customising our message...and there's always someone listening, somewhere, sometime.
