The Importance of Choosing Stations Strategically

Why it's Crucial to Know the Importance of Choosing Stations Strategically

When planning a broadcast PR campaign, there's no one-size-fits-all strategy. A crucial yet often overlooked factor is the unique characteristics of different broadcast stations. By understanding these nuances, you can tailor your approach to maximise impact and reach. Here’s why choosing stations strategically can amplify your broadcast interview's effectiveness.


Broadcast Diversity: More Than Meets the Eye

Broadcast media isn’t a monolith; each station offers distinct opportunities through its approach to syndication and content sharing. By grasping the specifics of each broadcaster, you can make your campaign more effective and leverage a broader reach.


One Broadcast Station, Multiple Opportunities

The shift towards multichannel strategies has broadened the scope of broadcast interviews. For instance, interviews might now be repurposed into social media content, articles, or even shared across multiple platforms like TV and radio.


Consider a scenario where a radio program with a smaller live audience has a substantial social media following. Securing an interview on such a program might be more beneficial than targeting a larger but less engaged outlet.


The importance of choosing stations strategically can significantly boost your campaign

Station-Specific Strategies

  • Global: Their transformation includes TV screens and high-tech cameras in radio studios. Interviews often stream online and are shared on social media.

  • Times Radio: Interviews conducted via Zoom are clipped and posted on social media platforms.

  • BBC: Radio interviews often appear on TV channels and websites, enhancing their reach.

  • Sky News Radio: Interviews are pre-recorded and broadcast across multiple platforms and commercial stations.

  • Regional Programming: The BBC’s Central News Service and ITV’s content hub offer extensive regional reach with minimal effort.
