1. Who we are:
TTWN are the largest provider of live Traffic, Weather, News & Sports
reports to radio stations in 2,000 radio stations across America.
What we do:
Connect your message with consumers while they are tuning-in for the
information.
Why it works:
Traffic and weather are top influences on consumer behavior – making
it active listening.
• Listener engagement surges 22% in the minutes surrounding
these reports!
• With us you don’t buy one radio ad, on one station – you get our
network in the market you choose.
• We work with multiple radio ownership groups – to get you
great reach/coverage across the market.
• Your Ad is the only Ad in the report! We embed your :15 or :10
second ad into the reports (live and recorded).
• This is not a :30 second ad in a 5+ minute block of ads – it
stands out!
• To-the-point information sticks in consumer’s mind!
Consumers Still Want
AM/FM Radios In Their
Cars
Despite the technological
advances that are making the car
a digital hub on wheels, the
consumer’s love affair with
AM/FM radio remains. The
numbers of radio listeners are
staggering. More Americans
listen to AM/FM radio each
week than use Facebook.
Nearly 60% of the population
listens to the radio on a daily
basis and nearly 85% of the
American people report listening
to the radio at least once a week.

2. TTWN – How it Works
Day-Parts
• M – F 5a-8p
• SA/Su 5a-8p
• M-Su 8p -5a
Copy
• Ability to rotate scripts
• Live reads & Recorded spots
How it Works
• Your Billboard “brought to you by”
• TTWN Content
• Your Copy (:10 and :15)
• Ability to rotate/freshen scripts, week to week.
• Reports primarily heard Monday – Friday during
drive-time (aka: rush hours) but also through out
the day, evenings and weekends.
• Reports are primarily live by locally well-known
and trusted Reporters, one-at-a-time from our
state-of-the-art Operation & Broadcast Centers,
Affiliates and Airborne & Mobile units, depending
on each market.
• Sponsored Reports open with an intrusive call-to-
listen opening Billboard and include an up-to-the-
minute report and pa powerful live or recorded
:10 or :15 second sponsorship message
4. • Inclement weather or adverse traffic conditions can limit exposure to OOH advertising, but
TTWN/Radio listening actually increases under these circumstances. American consumers depend
on their car radios for weather and Traffic reports, so OOH and TTWN/Radio make an effective drive-
time combination every day
• In combination, TTWN/Radio and OOH deliver a balance of sight and sound to an on-the-go audience
• Combining TTWN/Radio with an outdoor campaign will increase reach and recall:
• TTWN/Radio signals cover the market, outdoor messages are available only where displayed
• TTWN/Radio travels with the consumer as they go about their daily routines and in all locations
– at home, at work, and especially in cars
• TTWN/Radio+OOH increases range and frequency to increase recall
• Most OOH advertising is fixed and remains in place for a pre-set period of time. TTWN/Radio ad copy
can be changed fairly quickly, so messaging changes can be implemented to supplement or clarify
OOH
• OOH ads can tweak consumer’s curiosity; TTWN/Radio ads will complement by delivering details
