Loyalty
“Radio continues to be perceived as central to people’s lives, especially when contrasted with the precipitous decline by other traditional media” – Arbitron/Edison “Infinite Dial”.
- Listeners tend to listen to relatively few radio stations and are extremely loyal to their favorites.
- Research shows that Radio listeners have a low level of ad avoidance, staying tuned in through commercial breaks.
- Because ads can run frequently and listeners tend to stay tuned for long periods of time, a brand that is big in Radio can create a disproportionately large share of mind for itself.

TV & Cable
Advertising influences nearly 90 percent of consumer decisions to purchase goods and services. For power and attention, it's tough to top the many advantages of television advertising. No other advertising medium combines sight and sound and has such a grand impact. Imagine taking your product personally into millions of homes all over the country to show them why it's better, faster, stronger, higher or longer-lasting, and even demonstrating it right in front of them. One of the biggest advantages of TV ads is the ability to call out to your potential customers right where they are. It's akin to tapping them on the shoulder and saying, "Hey, come look at this!"
Good TV ads are more than walking, talking messages. You determine how you want your audience to react. Smile. Laugh. Cry. Take action. You're putting on a skit or short play of sorts for their benefit. You can make it lighthearted or even humorous, thought-provoking or heartbreaking. You can try to do that with print, but you can't control how the words are read, with the proper emphasis and pauses for emotion.
One of the big advantages of television advertising is the huge audience you can reach instantaneously. TV ads can be targeted to specific audiences surprisingly well, too. To reach stay-at-home or work-from-home parents, buy daytime spots. To reach a Hispanic market, you could buy air time on a Spanish-speaking network. For products that appeal to full-time workers, advertise in the evening. Toy and cereal manufacturers have known about targeting since TV began and they advertised during Saturday morning cartoons. Parents didn't always appreciate it, but the ads worked.
