Radio is an intimate form of media. People listen for all sorts of reasons, news, weather, entertainment etc. When people tune in, they trust the information and want it to provide accurate and current information.
You can do other things whilst listening to the radio, like ironing or driving. It stops you being bored and acts as a friend. It can cheer you up when you’re feeling upset and help escape daily life for a minute or two. Adverts influence us and get into our sub consciousness, and make us buy products, whether we realise it or not.
One of the other beauties of radio is it isn’t just one advert, like in a publication. The adverts are played more than once, to increase awareness of your product.

It is in a good position to meet the needs of the public.
