• Teen and youth audiences looking to connect with local and national issues and events as well as pop culture  

Radio

There are a number of commercial stations as per any other area which are supported by a variety of classic hits style stations through to the national broadcaster. These channels speak to a wide range of demographics and listeners. There is much opportunity here to make headways into the ears of a wide variety of captive audiences through advertising that is fresh and new – they’re ready and willing to listen! Local community radio stations are not to be neglected either and certainly play their part in advertising to audiences.

• The youth market looking for products inside their breadth of interests via either the national broadcaster or a closer to home commercial station

• Families looking for appropriate yet fun radio content  
• Those who are on the road during the day depending on occupation and lifestyle who represent the lion’s share of the midday market

There are also a number of digital based opportunities that will vary depending on product and demographic. There is also scope for the inclusion of billboard and flyer-based advertising in line with BUS260.
