Radio One increases ad rates

The rates will increase by 30%.

Post acquisition by HT Media, Radio one 94.3 FM is looking to revamp the product offering with a premium positioning, catering to the upscale, young TG. In light of the same, the station has now decided to increase the advertising rates by 30%.

The station will now offer an uncluttered music experience to the listeners with fewer ad breaks in an hour and several innovations such as Top of the Hour premium ad break, pre-selling by Jocks before every ad break and trivia capsules during ads to ensure stickiness. The new product experience will offer a great environment for advertisers to advertise on the station.
