(1) Advertisers specify the buy criteria:
  • Listener age and gender (Demographics)
  • Market and format/network
  • Day and daypart selections
  • Budget
  • Maximum allowable CPM (Cost per Thousand listeners/households)
(2) Advertisers upload their spot

  • Broadcasters receive an email notification when an advertiser selects their market and format/network
  • Bidding takes place on Thursdays from 8 AM – Noon (PT)
Winning spots run the following broadcast week
  • Broadcasters issue affidavits certifying that spots have run
