Marketing Myth: Radio is dead in the digital age.

Tell that to the 228 million Americans who still tune in every month. While many businesses focus only on digital channels, radio delivers consistent, loyal audiences who actually live in your market.

Listeners aren't distracted by notifications, scrolling feeds, or ad blockers. When they're in their car, at work, or working out, they're genuinely engaged with the content β€” including your message.

Plus, radio builds trust through consistent presence in ways that complement your digital efforts perfectly.
