Frequently Asked Questions
How much does radio advertising cost?
Advertising on MIX 56 costs less than you might think and is often comparable with local press or regional magazine advertising.
As a guide, a typical three-month campaign can start from around £92 per week, with your adverts airing during peak listening times. The exact cost will depend on things like the length of your advert and how often it’s played, but there are always ways to make it work for your budget.
If you’re happy to go off-peak or commit to a longer campaign, rates can be even more cost-effective. Just get in touch with the team — we’re always happy to chat through your options and find something that fits.
How do I get a radio commercial made and how much does it cost?
We take care of everything when it comes to creating your radio advert, making the process simple and stress-free.
From writing the script and handling advertising clearance, right through to professionally producing your commercial, our experienced team has it covered.
Commercial Production costs are very reasonable – and may even be included as part of your campaign commitment (if you sign up for 12 months), but we’ll always be upfront and work within your budget.
If you’re looking to make an even bigger impact, you can also add a custom sung jingle — a great way to boost brand recognition and make your message really stick.
What are the payment terms?
Commercial production costs are charged on order and your commercial will be produced on receipt of payment. The cost of your campaign is charged monthly in advance. You can pay by bank transfer, direct debit or by credit card.
Is MIX56 in RAJAR?
MIX56 isn’t part of RAJAR — and here’s why it’s not a problem for advertisers
We get asked this question a lot, and totally understand why advertisers want solid proof of our reach!
RAJAR (Radio Joint Audience Research) is the official UK body for measuring radio audiences, but costs around £1,200 a month to subscribe to — way too pricey for a not-for-profit community station like ours.
Instead, we use reliable online data from smart speakers, our app and website, crunched with industry-standard formulas to give you a clear picture of listenership across all platforms.
But we’re excited to share that we’ve signed up to RAMS (Real Audience Measurement System), a new tool from Local Radio Support (LRS) designed just for stations our size — with the first results due this summer, it’ll give even more credible insights for your campaigns.
