Radio's near universal reach has held steady over the years.  No other medium, electronic or otherwise -- can claim as many weekly consumers as radio does.  An onslaught of competing entertainment, be it MP3 players, morning news television shows, online media and other emerging media has contributed to a 45-minute (per week) decline in time spent listening to radio over the past two years, yet the average radio consumer spends more than 19 hours listening to radio per week.
Walls Communications' extensive experience and radio's powerful reach will deliver your important message to millions -- consumers, workers, parents, shareholders, voters and interested observers.  From 2003 to 2006, Walls Communications averaged over: 1,000,000 impressions per Radio Media Tour and over 750,000 impressions per Audio News Release.

Two major, time saving and cost effective methods Walls Communications, Inc. employs to convey key messages are the RADIO MEDIA TOUR and the AUDIO NEWS RELEASE.
