Answer to Question 1

The radio provides several advantages that the television does not. First, radio advertising offers a low absolute cost in reaching potential customers. Second, it offers better geographic selectivity than television can. The narrow transmission of local radio stations gives advertisers the best opportunity to reach well-defined geographic audiences. Third, it reaches customers at home, at work, in the car, in the backyard, in retail outlets and malls, and in other public places. The wireless and portable features of radio provide an opportunity to reach consumers that exceeds all other media. Fourth, it is a more flexible medium than television because it has short closing periods for submitting an ad. This means an advertiser can wait until close to an air date before submitting.
