I am the co-producer and host of Midweek Politics (www.midweekpolitics.com), a weekly political talk show that is broadcast on the nationwide Pacifica radio network (www.pacifica.org), and we are almost completely sold out for December, mostly with DP members making up our advertisers. The show has well known guests (recently John Kerry, Ralph Nader, etc) as well as many advertisers also advertising on Sirius and XM radio, etc. The show airs Wednesdays. Wednesday at 12:00 pm eastern US time is the cutoff for making it to that night's show. More details are below, but here is what is available: 3/25/09: 1 spot 4/1/09: 1 spot 4/9/09: 2 spots 4/15/09: 2 spots Since most people buy anywhere from 2-8 weeks at a time, I expect that the remaining inventory will go to ONE or TWO advertisers. The show has a heavy podcast following, with over 15,000 views/downloads on itunes and our website per SHOW, and we do one show per week, in addition to airing on traditional radio stations across the country. Each show remains downloadable for a total of 6 weeks., meaning that when you advertise on ONE show, it is downloaded for the 6 weeks that follow. This is a GREAT opportunity for website businesses that are not location-based to advertise. Cash4Gold, one of the BIGGEST affiliate programs in the country, uses this type of advertising regularly, as do many others. This is strong advertising for product based websites, content sites looking to drive traffic, affiliate programs, etc. Details: * Ads are 30 seconds long. You can provide be a produced 30 second ad, or we can produce the ad for you, and I would voice it. * If YOU create your advertisement, there is NO MINIMUM. If WE create your advertisement, there is a 2 show minimum. You must provide a script if we voice your advertisement. * Cost is $35 per show and includes your 30 second ad DURING the show, AND a mention of your site at the beginning of the show, ie "today's program is made possible in part by yoursite.com.' * You can opt for a 60 second spot for $60. Please contact me directly to move forward on this.
are advertisers reporting any type of success. i really can not see this going with products or whatnot... please visit our sponder that sells beauty products ... btw... "obama is ruining this country" wrong audience... now if i was selling products that related to politics, then that would make sense...
Hi there, Most advertisers are service businesses, but a couple with money-related products are doing ok. We've had several gold/silver sellers advertise on the show, and since that's economy/finance related, it worked well. However, selling sex toys or something like that probably would NOT work...
I've have about 6 DP members as clients for this so let me see if I can get someone to post in this thread.
