Radio is everywhere. It's a familiar medium that Americans have been using for generations.  Most people own several radios. Radio reaches 96% of Americans age 12 and older each week, (according to Radio Advertising Bureau research, the source for all the statistics which follow). What other marketing medium goes more places? Unlike other media, radio is "accommodating." Listeners listen while doing other things, throughout the day. Waking-up, getting dressed, driving to work, at work, everywhere!

Radio is king in the car. If you wanted to buy a new car without a radio, the dealer would have to special-order it from the factory. Over 90% of all shopping trips are by car. So Radio gets an advertising message closer to the cash register than any other medium. Most adults listen to radio within one hour of making their biggest purchase of the day.

Radio is personal. It's an intimate, one-to-one medium that speaks to listeners as individuals. Listeners have favorite stations and personalities, a bond that's valuable to advertisers.

Radio is influential. That bond makes the listener receptive to recommendations about products and services. Especially products and services recommended by on-air "experts."

Radio moves faster than other media. Need a quick copy change? Running a hot special? Radio gets a message to more people, quicker, and less-expensively, than any other ad medium.

Radio is more cost-efficient than other media. For what ONE newspaper ad costs, an advertiser can run on radio for WEEKS.

Radio complements other media. Radio can tell potential customers to "LOOK FOR OUR AD IN TODAY'S NEWSPAPER!" Or in the Yellow Pages. Radio is like "an insurance policy" for your other advertising.
 

Debi Scofield - Deb has been with RIP 97.9 since before our official ribbon cutting and sign-on in August 1999, following a career in local print advertising. Deb's knowledge of the Mountaintop market makes her well suited for sales.
Debi makes her home in Hunter, and when not being a busy Mom to her teenaged son and daughter, she is very involved in her community, giving of her time with the Hunter Civic Association as well as the Hunter Chamber of Commerce. Deb lends her voice talents to many of our commercials, and does live appearances at several of the remote broadcasts we book throughout the year.
 
Tony Filippone - Tony has a long career as a sales pro, having worked extensively in both the Albany and Saratoga radio markets, as well as for the Hudson Valley Newspapers group prior to joining RIP 97.9 in 2000.
Besides being blessed with a terrific singing voice ("like Sinatra," he humbly offers), Tony is also a professional dog trainer and groomer. He lives in Earlton, NY with his lovely wife Suzanne, daughter Amanda and son Justin.

 

 The Northern Catskills is an unbeatable vacation destination for up to 1,000,000 people each year. Aside from our region’s formidable ski season, festivals and special events that abound in the spring, summer and fall are a draw for visitors and residents alike.
