## Sponsorship

## A brand sponsors a particular radio program or segment, and their name and/or products are mentioned during the program. 

## Radio commercials

These are short, pre-produced advertisements that are aired during commercial breaks on radio stations.

Live reads

These are ads that are read live on-air by a radio host or DJ. They are often personalized to the specific station or program and can be more effective at engaging listeners.

Promotions and contests 

Radio stations often offer promotions and contests to listeners as a way to increase engagement and build loyalty. These can be sponsored by businesses and used as a marketing tool.
