In today’s divisive climate, news radio’s unbiased journalism and community connections create a safe haven for audiences and brands. It’s hard to earn Americans’ trust and loyalty amid fake news and loud TV pundits, but local news radio is a lighthouse in the storm.
News radio listeners are the high-value audience brands dream of: young, successful, affluent, and business decision-makers.
Local radio is the most trusted source for news – offering a brand-safe environment consumers choose over TV and social media.
News consumers are one of the most valuable yet under-tapped audiences for advertisers. Station trust carries over to brands, driving 92% of listeners to pay attention to ads.
Listeners rely on local news. And brands that connect by supporting weather, traffic, sports, and small business features get their full attention.
