Think of a great football play on a Friday night under the lights in the Upper Cumberland:

The quarterback drops back, reads the field, and fires a perfect pass. The wide receiver makes the grab, heads for the end zone, and the crowd erupts.

But here’s the truth: the receiver never scores without the setup.

No vision from the QB? No play.

No perfectly timed throw? No touchdown.

👉 In marketing across the Upper Cumberland, Cookeville Communications radio stations are your quarterback.
The Country Giant, 98.5 KISS FM, 106.1 The Eagle, and Grace FM read the field, create awareness, and deliver the setup.

👉 Digital and social? They’re your receivers. They catch the pass and finish the drive.

Now picture sending receivers out with no QB. They’re stranded. No passes, no points.

That’s what happens when you run digital without radio.

But when you put them together?
It’s automatic. It’s unstoppable. It’s game-winning.

Marketing isn’t about one channel carrying the load—it’s about the team.
Radio builds the opportunity. Digital drives it home.

That’s how businesses win in the Upper Cumberland in 2025—with the stations of Cookeville Communications.

Radio is the anti-algorithm platform. It’s live, local, personality-driven, event-based, and FREE!

In a world where everything can be rewound, skipped, or hidden in a feed, radio stands out as the original live social network.- Dave Sturgeon.

Let’s talk about one of the two most underrated delivery machines in America.

Not FedEx. Not UPS.
The U.S. Postal Service.

📦 Delivers 23.9 million packages a day.
(that’s 70% more than UPS, and more than double FedEx).
📬 Reaches every address in America.
💸 For a fraction of the cost of private carriers.

And yet I hear people say: “Does anybody even use snail mail anymore?”

Sound familiar?

Radio:
🎙️ Reaches 293 million Americans every week.
🚗 Built into every car, job site, and kitchen.
💥 Always on. Always local. Always delivering.
But just like the post office, it gets taken for granted. “Does anybody even listen to the radio anymore?”

Meanwhile...
Podcasts reach ~158 million monthly.
Spotify (U.S. podcast users)? ~43 million.
SiriusXM? ~34 million subscribers.
Radio? Still the unmatched heavyweight champion audio media platform on the planet!

It’s not about being the newest.
It’s about being the most relied upon.
The most embedded.
The one that keeps showing up even when you’re not thinking about it.

For audio advertising, Radio IS the Post Office.
And if you’re not using it to deliver your message…
It might be going to the wrong address.

You don’t think about the air around you until it’s gone.

Radio is the same way.
It’s everywhere.
It’s always there.
It quietly fuels the moments of your day — in the car, at work, in the kitchen — without asking for much in return.

You don’t have to log in.
You don’t have to charge it.
You don’t have to scroll through an endless menu of choices.
You just breathe it in.

No wonder we say your favorite radio personalities are ON THE AIR — they’ve been part of the atmosphere your whole life.

And while you may not notice it every second, you’d sure notice if it disappeared.

Radio: as essential as oxygen for a connected, informed, entertained community.
