Why Advertiser’s Are So Successful on WBZ NewsRadio

EXCLUSIVITY

WBZ NewsRadio is New England’s only News & Information radio station. With WBZ you reach a dynamic, educated, employed and affluent

audience that listens to the station for up to the minute news, information, weather & traffic updates that they won’t get anywhere else!

ATTENTIVE LISTENERS

WBZ has a Foreground versus a Background listening environment. People tune into WBZ to listen – that’s it. WBZ isn’t easy listening – its

hard news keeping New England informed. NMTW Community Credit Union’s message becomes an integral part of the information driven

environment reaching an attentive audience. You’re message is heard the first time, every time.

COMMERCIAL ISLANDS

WBZ highlights your message by making you the only :60 second commercial in a break, weaving it in among the content. WBZ runs a

maximum of only two commercials back to back versus the typical radio station commercial format that runs 5 – 10 commercials in a row. By

doing this, your commercial becomes part of the information instead of being one message in a cluster of other advertisers that listeners

typically tune out.

TRAFFIC/WEATHER UPDATES

WBZ is the only station in New England delivering Traffic and Weather updates every 10 minutes. Every Traffic /Weather update is

accompanied by a LIVE sponsorship billboard as added value. Most people tune in for these traffic/weather updates so this is the best place to

put your name for added frequency of the largest portion of the WBZ audience!

CREDIBILITY

Lend instant credibility to your banking location. Listeners rely on WBZ as the most credible and reliable source for news and resources. Be

among the resources WBZ offers to its listeners!

BENCHMARK POSITIONING – WBZ is Boston’s Authority for Traffic And Weather!
