Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a 10-second radio ad cost in India?
Rates vary by city tier: ₹50–150 per 10-sec spot in Tier-2/3 cities, up to ₹500–1,500+ per spot during metro peak drive-time hours on top stations like Radio Mirchi or Red FM.
What are the best time bands for radio advertising?
Morning Peak (8 AM–11 AM) and Evening Peak (5 PM–9 PM) offer the highest commuter audience and drive-time listening, commanding premium rates.
What is an RJ Mention and how does it work?
An RJ mention is a live, casual endorsement spoken by the radio host, creating high personal trust and listener rapport that a scripted ad cannot replicate.
How long does it take to launch a radio campaign?
Campaigns can go live within 3–5 days if audio creative is ready, or 5–7 days including jingle scripting and studio recording.
How do I verify my radio ads actually aired?
RiYO provides official station Broadcast Run Order (BRO) log sheets signed by station managers detailing exact airtime timestamps.
What is FCT in radio advertising?
FCT stands for Free Commercial Time — the total duration of paid airtime allocated to your brand on a radio station, sold in 10-second units.
Can I target a specific city with radio advertising?
Yes. FM radio is inherently city-specific. You can run city-by-city campaigns with localized language, dialects, and city-relevant offers.
Which FM stations have the highest listenership in India?
Radio Mirchi (98.3 FM), Red FM (93.5 FM), Big FM (92.7 FM), Radio City (91.1 FM), and Fever FM (104 FM) are consistently top-rated stations across India.
What audio format is needed for radio ad submission?
Most FM stations accept 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz stereo WAV or MP3 audio files at 192 kbps or higher bitrate. RiYO handles all audio production and delivery in-house.
Is radio advertising effective for Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities?
Extremely effective. Radio is the dominant mass media in smaller cities where TV and digital penetration is lower, making it a powerful reach tool for regional campaigns.
