Would you like to be in front of a higher-income audience to share your message? Then the public radio market may be right for you.

Many public radio stations air local talk shows which focus on local issues and ideas. But the techniques that apply to trying to get a spot on local public radio shows are different from those for commercial broadcasts, and when you address those issues skillfully, you can become a go-to expert to a highly engaged audience.

  • why public radio listeners are great prospects for speakers/trainers/authors/consultants
