Seven Popular Reasons Customers
Give for Buying Our Information
Stations
|
1
No
Ongoing Equipment Costs
An Information Radio
Station is effectively
an appliance for which
there is very little, if
any, ongoing or annual
costs to operate,
maintain and keep
licensed. |
2
No
Middleman
Information Radio
Stations are used to
speak directly to the
public without the
budgetary costs,
reliability concerns and
access issues introduced
by a third-party carrier
such as the telephone
company, internet
provider or a broadcast
radio/TV station. |
3
No
Special Device
Citizens typically
utilize a standard
automobile radio
receiver to hear
information. There is
nothing that they need
to purchase to gain
access to the broadcast. |
4
No
Electricity = No Problem
Most Information Radio
Stations and the vehicle
radios that receive them
operate on batteries.
When grid power goes
down, this method of
communication is
designed to be “up.” |
5
No
Obsolescence
Conventional radio
technology has been a
mainstay for almost 100
years and will not soon
be superseded or made
obsolete.
|
6
No
Visual Limitation
The medium of radio is
an ideal way to present
detailed, changing
information to the
public without
distraction and in a way
difficult to match with
text messages, static
signs or other strictly
visual media. |
7
No
Physical Constraints
Information Radio Stations may be at fixed locations or
portable. Or both fixed
and portable.
Portability allows an
information radio
service to easily move
locations, to tailor its
presence and area of
coverage to the
emergency at hand. |
