Episode 74
A long under-utilized but growing asset in local radio’s ad portfolio is in-screen visual display inventory comprising text and images. Basic RDS technology available in 70-80 percent of cars on the road allows FM broadcaster to deliver program and advertising content. For maybe a quarter of the cars on the radio with HD Radio receivers, images can also be sent. As radio searches for new pockets of revenue growth opportunities, in-dash visual ad inventory is becoming a thing for major groups.
Quu’s CEO Steve Newberry joins us for this podcast episode to explain the visual radio ad ecosystem and opportunities local radio stations can target with this technology.
