Three Drives Radio Station
What separates GREAT MEDIA CHOICES for your advertising message from good media choices is the way the consumer is ATTENTIVELY ENGAGED in the particular medium.  TALK RADIO is the  ORIGINAL INTERACTIVE MEDIUM that encourages listeners to actively participate because of the SPOKEN WORD ENTERTAINMENT versus background music, the RANGE of EMOTIONS in listening to OPINION BASED ENTERTAINMENT, and the fact that LISTENERS are CREATING the CONTENT with their phone calls.

SportsRadio WEEI is THE LEADER in keeping consumers ATTENTIVELY ENGAGED in our product.  Some marketers believe that IN-CAR LISTENING is the best way to reach consumers listening to a given radio station because in-car listening is a captive environment.  SportsRadio WEEI is the original THREE DRIVES RADIO STATION because SportsRadio WEEI outperforms the Boston Market average for “IN-CAR LISTENING” in MID-DAY by almost 50%, as well as outperforming the market average in AM Drive and PM Drive.

In addition, most radio stations have only one or two dayparts that dominate their ratings, SportsRadio WEEI has three dayparts that dominate our ratings delivery.  If WEEI MID-DAY was an AM Drive or PM Drive Radio Show on Boston Radio, it would be ONE OF THE TOP 5 RADIO PROGRAMS in all of Boston Radio, just behind WEEI AM Drive and PM Drive.
