Why Choose Radio Advertising with WFM? Radio advertising is a low-cost, effective medium that reaches consumers wherever they are. Unlike TV or print, radio doesn’t require consumers to be in a specific location or to acquire a publication. It is an intimate form of media where listeners develop a relationship with their favourite presenters. Additionally, radio advertising with WFM is more affordable than most print publications.

“The Crime and Disorder Team advertise on Wythenshawe FM on a regular basis because they see it as an effective way of communicating with the local community. Advertising is very cost effective and can be turned around very quickly at short notice. Adverts are always good quality. Because of the varied schedule of Wythenshawe FM, we can fund our very own crime and safety show run by local officers. This provides a vital link with the community in letting them know the issues most relevant to them.”
