National Advertisers' Demand for Short Form Radio Spots Continues to Grow

Interep's Number of :30-second Radio Units Sold Increased Over 1,000% in Past Two Years

Interep (IREP.PK) announced today that the increase in short form radio spots (spots shorter than the standard :60 radio commercials) is reaching new heights, as a growing number of advertisers are requesting :30, :15, and :10-second announcements as part of their spot radio campaign.

From 2004 to 2006, Interep saw the following increases in the percentage of short form radio commercial units sold:

• :10/:15-second spots, up 400%
• :30-second spots, up 1000%
• Total short form spots, up 680%

Interep said that despite this steep increase, short form spots still comprise only about 10% of its total billing, with :30s representing about 7%. This compares to a recent report by BMO Capital Markets stating that 30-second spots comprised 19.9% of total radio commercial time in January 2007.

Kirk Combs, General Manager, Interep's D&R Radio, said, “Clearly, we are going to see more and more business availed in 2007 requesting shorter form commercials. The Interep numbers, as well as supporting industry data, speak for themselves.” He continued, “We respect our clients' need to manage their inventory in accordance with their overall programming objectives, and we want to make them aware of this growing trend to assure that we collectively can aggressively compete for the swell of new radio dollars going to short form advertising.”
