Radio Station & Broadcast Memberships

    Obviously you have linked to here, because you know the importance & value for synergy advertising on the web and that it is growing to be the primary mechanism for you to prosper, if not survive.  

    Below you will find we try to accommodate every situation and need, this because of our interest to help radio stations effectively take the necessary steps to successfully stream their broadcasts and at a profit. 

    Unlike other web advertisers and general services providers, we tell you up front what you get, thus you already know the value, and what it costs.  This is because we believe that lasting and prosperous relationships begin with an open candid dialogue, a great deal, and friendly customer service at all times.  

    We also believe you know your needs better than anybody and you know the value of a great deal and comfortable commerce, when you see them.  We ultimately believe that whether you call it "click & mortar" or "click & brick", there remains some things fundamental to doing business, which the wonders of these communications technologies were designed to expand.

    As this site and the desktop radio industry continues to evolve and develop, we are very enthused about the potentials for all of us, notwithstanding what has occurred with other dot-com organizations and certainly those in the radio/music industry, which had ill-conceived models and foundations.  Our name is easy recall, easily located at the http://www level by typing "desktop radio" (two words, no " ") and we are very search engine friendly including that we rank at the top of search engines for "desktop radio stations", "radio.com", and related at AOL, MSN, NBCi, Netscape, Yahoo, and many others.  

    We also enjoy other search engine rankings on various related keywords, however, search engine submissions and META tags, although a foundation for every web site, is the least of the skills and resources we have available to drive traffic to us and to you.  Therefore we are in a unique position for true multimedia synergy advertising, including promoting this site with radio advertising and other media, with you as a very active and involved participant, where with prudent management and synergy co-operative advertising all prosper...our customers, companies/stations, owners, and we likewise continue to grow. 

    We additionally own the corresponding domain name Desktop-Radio.net, along with these other web sites in our Desktop-Radio Radio-Broadcasts.com, International-Radio.net, Palm-Radio.com, Independent-Artists (.com  &.net),  Studio Musicians' Network, Studio-Musician (.com & .net), Recording-Studios.com, Desktop-TV.com, and we make http://www.order-supplies.net and http://order-parts.com (.net) available, in a tandem development and traffic building tool, so that you can sweeten your own advertising deals, with 24/7 banner ads to drive traffic to your customer's own existing e-commerce web site.  We believe the second tier synergy between just any two of these sites to be obvious.  

    Then add to this, the benefits of our associate and affiliate stations driving traffic to us through radio advertising, along with our marketing & management on this end, the ways we will drive traffic to you and your advertisers, and you will see that it gets better all of the time.  All of our on-line affiliate stations have access to our production and industry news services, including interviews with writers, musicians, artists and others in the music and radio industries.  Please read our general Advertising policies and services, if you have not already done so.  For information about our advertising programs for merchants & merchant sponsorships for radio stations, click Here

    You'll find for many reasons, we do not act, nor are we like most other dot-com organizations and web portal addresses.   Most notably, we don't owe our souls to venture capitalists, we don't have to worry about our stock prices being effected by our earnings, and we have great flexibility to respond to market opportunities and evolving technologies.  In fact, you'll find the difference between us and most others is also reflected in that we're in the black . . . and that means green.

    The following are the advertising package we currently have available for independent stations, conglomerates, and for networks programs we offer.  Choose the one which best suits you and complete the form below.  Or you can contact us by phone or e-mail.
