After doing a little updating on our radio station news director database I thought you might be interested in a little bit of analysis. We get asked these questions all the time.

We have individual email addresses for 2,803 different radio reporters across the United States. However, they work for and are heard on over 6,000 radio stations! A few of these reporters are also reporting for radio networks in programming that can be aired on many radio stations. You can safely assume that on the average most radio reporters are doing double duty and reporting news on at least 2 stations. Hopefully this helps you understand the potential number of stations a news story could air on when a news release is sent.

These are the folks we email Talking News Releases to. As you may know we can break out any state or group of states and even station formats.

Regular breakouts of states that we use include the top 15 corn and soybean growing states as well as other commodity area breakouts. We’ll custom create one for your Talking News Release project!

Welcome to the new look for the ZimmComm blog. We’re currently transitioning to a new webserver so not all of our links are set up and working yet but that should be remedied within a couple days.

In the meantime all our posts and archives are active. Let us know your thoughts.

I know we’ve told you that we offer blogging services but what does that mean and how much does it cost?

Let’s first of all say that the cost is determined by what you want us to do so we’ll provide you with a quote after you describe what you want us to do.

To address this new service we’ve updated our rate card. I’ll be emailing it out next week when our new blog site is up and running. In the meantime you can contact me directly and I’ll email it to you.

If you still wonder if anyone cares about blogging consider the sold out American Marketing Association conference on blogging this Friday.

Here’s a short description of some of the things we can provide you or your client:

1. Blog Creation and Design – If you’ve already got a website then you should consider how a blog can work with what you’ve already got. Perhaps you want a new design or maybe you want something that uses elements of what your traditional website looks like. We employ the services of several excellent design artists to create the personalized custom look you want.

2. Training – We can provide onsite or conference call training for you and your staff. We would custom design our presentation to your needs. In an extended session we could cover the basics of blogging and move into advanced uses and tools.

3. Content – I know you may wonder about starting something that’s just one more thing to do. That doesn’t have to be the case. Just like with any other communication tool we can provide on-going assistance such as posting information for you, or even creating custom content. Just consider what your goal is with your blog and we can help make it an easy process to keep fresh content on your blog. Content could include text, images, audio or even video.

You’ll find our prices competitive and less expensive than traditional website design and maintenance.
