What should I ask a radio station about doing a commercial for a store?

What should I ask a radio station about doing a commercial for a store?
I have a meeting in the morning with a radio commercial manager what kind of questions should I ask him?
I have written a jingle and I am looking to maybe have some kind of advertising campain for the store i manage but i really havent done anything like this before,help me!

Ask about package discounts for bulk play and time slots.
They should know how to help you come up with an effective ad.
You might save a bit of $$ if you have your own "singers" to create the ad. Do have it blocked out befor you book studio time to record it. Also remember you want to have time limits. 15 seconds and 30 seconds and even 10 seconds are common.
You want to be able to have a longer and a shorter one so you can just hit the highlights with the short one and listeners will remember the details from the longer version.
You may need to buy more time at first to get noticed.
Take your time and don’t be pressured into anything you don’t have time to think about. Know what you want and they will try to give you all they can coz they need to keep you happy to keep your business.

How is modern radio station equipment like? Are the cd players and cartridge players gone?

Posted by admin on March 1st, 2010 and filed under radio station | 2 Comments »

I am curious as I used to work at a radio station back in the 90’s where the old equipment was used. Basically the mixer with the cd players, cartridge players, telephone line, microphone line, satellite news all connected to it. So what is different about that setup now in radio stations? So yeah wondering what role the computer plays for the dj??

CD players are still around, but turntables are mostly gone. Cartridge players are pure history, Network stuff is mostly delivered by Satellite and telephones are now used on air for basic call ins, but we use modem style codecs and ISDN lines for remotes. At the 6 stations where I am Chief Engineer we have three computers in each control room for basic music and commercial playback, recording and editing for playback telephone callers, internet access, special effects, and most of the DJ’s bring in their laptops which we interface with the consoles and networks. I have about 10 Satellite receivers for various things, 4 ISDN systems, 5 POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service) codecs for digital audio, T1, Microwave and VHF RPU equipment. there is a turntable out in storage I can bring in if we really need it, cassettes are rarely used, digital audio tape is pretty old hat, I have no reel to reel machines in service, and even minidisk is becoming obsolete. We burn CD’s with audio to keep, and send and receive audio over the internet.
Not the same as when I started 45 years ago!

How do I start an underground radio station?

Posted by admin on February 27th, 2010 and filed under radio station | 3 Comments »

I am interested in starting an underground radio station online. I need to know how to go about doing this.

You need to go about getting liscenced by the major record labels (which can be quite expensive, as I am currently going thru this), or use a site like live365 (last source cited) which offers a bundle pack that does it automatically.

It really depends on your budget and level of internet expertise. You can do it pretty cheap, though.
