I'm in a similar situation with a regionally syndicated show on 31 stations. One thing I've had success with is going after advertisers and getting them on board at a very low rate. As your stations increase, so will…"

Darian Sewell replied to Darian Sewell's discussion 'Nation Radio Sales for Small Markets'"Thanks for the reply. That's my problem. I have small markets like Moses Lake, WA; McGrath, AK; Rollo, MO, etc. Really small cow towns. I would think a retail chain probably wouldn't be there but only be in the nearest major city miles and…"

I need some advice. I have a syndication radio program airing in 17 small markets. I already know the big national advertisers will not want to advertise with me because I don't have enough reach and listeners for them and the small advertisers may not have a reason to advertise in areas where they do not serve. Can anyone out there recommend how to search for a national advertiser who would need to service small markets yet not be too big to pass on my show?See More

Bill O'Reed replied to Darian Sewell's discussion 'Production'"Try Swap a spot! It's a great way to get experience, and you WILL be heard all over the country. However, you do not get paid for it. It's a place where if a station is in a crunch and needs a voice, someone will produce…"

I have a small syndicated program (1 minute feature) that runs nationally in 17 markets. I want to start making money with it so I decided to expand it by adding a 1 minute commercial break. This way I can split the time with my current affiliates. I will sell :30 to national advertisers and let my affiliates sell their :30 locally. Here is my problem: I have never sold airtime. I figured a good way to learn would be to get a sales position working for a national syndicated radio program or…See More
