      Why 30 Second (and shorter) Radio Commercials Are Bad for Advertisers and The Radio Industry

      7 FREQUENTLY USED RADIO ADVERTISING CLICHÉS

      Note from Ben Mac:  This article hits the nail on the head.  With radio stations not only ruining themselves by running too many commercials (30’s are killing the industry!) and not providing a professional copywriter to write locally produced commercials, radio ads sound horrible in most cases.  When salespeople are relegated to writing radio commercials,…
