Growing Media in the World Today!

wsRadio San Francisco, “The Global Voice of the Bay Area” will debut on Wednesday, March 4^th, 2009. Internet Radio is one of the newest and the fastest growing mediums of the 21^st century, and the undisputed future of old-fashioned broadcast radio.

wsRadio, “The Worldwide Leader in Internet Talk,” was founded on the Internet in 2001 and is the oldest and largest talk radio station on the World Wide Web, currently hosting over 130 shows. ws stands for World Syndicated. wsRadio San Francisco is the network’s first locally focused outlet, with programming focused on the San Francisco Bay Area, the 6^th largest media market in the nation. The wsRadio.com National Network has a regular listenership of nearly 4 million, and the SF Network will capture a large portion of that audience, as well as leverage listenership from 9 million+ Bay Area residents. As Internet radio is still relatively new, we’ve provided the facts below to help familiarize you with this rapidly-growing medium.  

Is this actual radio or internet radio? This is not old-fashioned AM/FM radio, it’s Internet Radio – the fastest growing type of media in the world today. Being on Internet radio has several advantages over traditional airwaves including:

1. Website traffic -When you promote your website during your interview, people are already online listening and can click right over to learn about your company. In fact, 67% of wsRadio listeners report immediately visiting websites when they hear about them during one of our shows. When was the last time you visited the website of a company you heard an AM/FM commercial for? People listening to traditional radio, usually in cars, simply can’t do this.
2. Archives! Your interview and a direct link to your company will live online for at least a year, giving you ongoing visibility that old-fashioned AM/FM radio simply cannot provide. You can also link your archived interview directly to your website so anyone visiting your site can listen. This isn’t allowed in traditional broadcasting unless you pay expensive licensing fees, and often, it isn’t allowed at all. We offer it as part of the interview package – no extra charge.
3. Pre-Interview Promotion – Our interviews are all pre-promoted in e-newsletters to over 20,000 subscribers that include a headshot and a direct link to your company website. This is something traditional radio never does.

How do people come to listen to your radio station? Extensive internet advertising, search engine optimization, self-promotion by the individuals and companies that host the various programs, and traditional advertising such as the commercial airing during that aired durimg half-time at the Superbowl! wsRadio is the oldest and largest Internet Radio Station in the world today hosting over 130 shows.
