MANX RADIO: NEW OPPORTUNITIES ON THE UK'S OLDEST COMMERCIAL STATION

Manx Radio boasts a position as the oldest commercial radio station in the British Isles, broadcasting to the Isle of Man's 75,000 inhabitants since 1964. The radio station enjoys the biggest "pro rata" listenership in the whole of the British radio industry, reaching 85% of the population. In addition, research by NOP shows that Manx Radio listeners tune in, on average, 17 hours a week. Manx Radio is considered the Island's "National" station and is the only broadcaster of Manx news and current affairs, 24 hours a day. The station has the largest newsroom of any commercial station and covers everything from Government affairs to local sports and entertainment, as well as international news. Manx Radio employs the Island's best known broadcasters and presenters and offers a variety of sponsorship and promotional formats for every business. The demographic profile of the Isle of Man population is as near perfect as can be imagined, they tell us, mainly made up of high-earning, low tax paying individuals and ideal for promoting and marketing high value products and services to a targeted "Island" audience.   Contact: John Marsom, Business Director.
