DISTRUBTION-Not only do we cover the coast on 94.3 FM, we also simulcast 100% online, which means your commercial gets heard no matter how, or where people listen. KRKZ can be heard online at 943KRKZ.com, via our Amazon Echo Skill, or by downloading our free Mobile App. KRKZ reaches over 75,000 people in Clatsop, Pacific, Columbia, and Wahkiakum Counties.
FEWER COMMERICALS/INTERRUPTIONS-KRKZ is designed to play fewer commercials in each break, so your ad gets heard and not buried at the end of a long commercial break. We play no more than 4 minutes in each commercial break. Many breaks are only 3 minutes long.
LOCALIZED/TARGETED REACH-Radio advertising in Astoria can be more effective than in urban areas, where many entertainment options compete for attention. In rural and coastal regions, local radio often serves as a primary source for news, weather, and community updates, giving it a high degree of trust.
LARGE CAPTIVE AUDIENCE-In coastal areas where residents or tourists may have longer driving times for errands or day trips, your message can reach a concentrated, in-car audience. Listeners are less distracted than they might be online, making them more receptive to your ad. KRKZ plays the “Perfect Playlist” for at work listeners. We are the most local, most connected and most involved station in the area.
