Frequent Questions

Can RadioLinx secure new station affiliates for my syndicated radio show? With over 25 years of industry expertise, RadioLinx is uniquely qualified to represent your syndicated program to potential new radio stations. Our experience spans both station-level roles and network affiliate representation, enabling us to effectively generate station interest in your show and connect with prospective radio affiliates.

How long will it take before we sign our first radio station? Timelines vary. Ultimately, our success will be contingent upon the quality of your show, market competition and overall industry acceptance.  RadioLinx's strategic selling approach ensures on-going professional management of the selling cycle and proven closing techniques utilizing a "consultant" sales approach.  After an initial launch and general awareness campaign, successful shows generally realize their first affiliate after 90 days and continue to attract additional new affiliates thereafter. RadioLinx can provide more specific projections upon a full review of your program.  

What are the costs involved? While many radio syndication companies shy away from discussing costs online, we prefer to be a little more transparent. Two key factors influence the success of any syndication effort: time and money. While we may not always be able to control how quickly a station decides to accept one of our clients, we can help manage the costs of your syndication efforts. Our rates are designed to align with the industry's longer sales cycles and the budget constraints of entrepreneurial clients. We charge a $1,085 monthly retainer with no long-term contracts. At RadioLinx, we strive to earn your continued business, and you are free to cancel at any time.

How will I profit from syndication of my radio show? Radio syndication typically operates within a barter model. In this setup, you retain a designated number of commercial minutes within your program to sell to sponsor advertisers. The revenue generated from these commercials becomes the primary income source for your program. Naturally, the larger and more extensive your affiliate network--and the bigger the stations--the higher rates you can charge potential advertisers. Once your program reaches a marketable level, RadioLinx can recommend effective advertising strategies to help monetize your inventory. Prospective advertisers will focus on the quality of your station affiliate list. Building this roster with RadioLinx is an excellent starting point for your syndication journey.
