Top 200 Radio Markets
Listed by Market Size
• • •
If you are new to radio talk shows, until you become experienced at matching wits with the hosts, you might want to begin
your media tour by beginning with the #200 radio market and work your way up to #1.
Use the Radio-Locator to find a list of radio stations and contact information in the
market you choose.
Media expert, Brian Farris
says, "The number of listeners is usually in direct proportion to the market size, but not always.
A small 1000 watt AM station in Casper, Wyoming (market #286) is going to have far fewer listeners that a 1000 watt AM station in
New York City (market #1.) But, the biggest station in Casper could very well have more listeners than the smallest station in
New York City. So it's not always the market size that counts."
Brian further states: "There is a good side to doing a lot of small station interviews. One is that you can do lots of practice; but the real reason
is that you are building a network of small station interviews (which really becomes your personal contacts) which causes the
larger stations to take notice. All radio people talk, via discussion lists, blogs, newsletters, conventions, and owner-supplied
white lists. Once you get some of these folks talking about you (about how good you were on the air), other stations will listen."
TIP: : Don't pitch radio stations for an interview if you haven't been media-trained to do radio interviews.
You may ruin your chances of getting invited back. Talk to a coach with prior radio experience and more than
450 radio interviews under his belt!
