At the heart of their communities
Campus and community radio stations are at the heart of their communities and their listeners are fiercely loyal. A 2022 Abacus Data study found that 9% of Canadians listen to campus and community radio regularly and 17% are occasional listeners.
Campus and community radio is Canada’s most diverse media sector.
With a collective transmitter reach of 25 million people, advertising on campus and community radio gives you unparalleled geographic reach and niche access to specific audiences.
Each station is autonomous and reflects its community’s interests and values, but when we combine forces, we can offer your business or organization the opportunity to target audiences in any part of Canada, including:
- specific geographic regions
- students and campus communities
- Indigenous listeners, both on and off reserve
- Seasonal tourist campaigns
- rural communities
- urban communities — small, medium, or large
- official language minority communities
- diverse cultural and linguistic communities
- seniors and older listeners
- music listeners in many genres
