Are you looking to target a specific, and relatively untapped, alternative audience?

Are you looking to target a specific, and relatively untapped, alternative audience? While Local 107.3fm has diverse and varying programming, we attract a specific audience that includes 3000 UNB Saint John students as well as a general population that cares about local businesses and issues. As a non-profit campus-based community radio station, we operate on a shoe-string budget that allows our organization to offer high-value advertising opportunities to local businesses we care about and support at rock-bottom prices. At $5/ad, Local 107.3fm’s standard rate is 85% cheaper than corporate media and offers equal, if not more, value for the same service.

We are taking this opportunity to offer local businesses introductory rates to help them kick off Summer 2012 with a bang. Local 107.3fm advertising packages include customized and personalized 30 or 60 second spots to fit the message you are broadcasting.

25 spots (1 week) = $125
50 spots (2 weeks) = $250 – (15%) = $212.5
75 spots (3 weeks) = $375 – (25%) = $281.25
100 spots (4 weeks) = $500 – (40%) = $300

Spots generally air 5 times/day during peak hours and only weekday spots count towards this total. Any spots played outside of peak hours and on weekends are considered a bonus.

Our licensing limits our advertising to 4 minutes per hour giving your advertisement prime placement and keeping your message from getting lost in swaths of spots.

For more information, contact Brian Cleveland at brian (at) cfmh.ca or 506-648-5667.
