Making the best use of
Many local radio stations work closely with local community event organisers and promoters by offering a variety of promotional, advertising and road show services. These services typically include paid for and sometimes free on air advertising of events and fetes, plus commercial local radio stations will often have the facility to provide a complete event radio roadshow enabling a live radio show to be broadcast directly from your event or show.
How many do I need?
Local and even national radio stations are always keen to attend many of the larger events and popular music festivals with mobile radio roadshows. Most commercial radio stations have websites with special pages for event services where these services can be arranged and pre booked. However smaller roadshow units are often provided and used to get around to local events and fetes visiting several throughout the days programme schedule.
Booking suggestions
Local radio and community radio can be a fantastic affordable way to let people know about your event or show and with many stations often giving a free mention throughout the schedule this can be particularly beneficial for smaller event organisers. If you're looking to have your event or show regularly advertised be prepared to pay and organise it well in advance, commercial radio advertising rates and packages will vary between stations.
Regulations, insurance and other useful notes
