Advertising with Radio Newquay

Radio Newquay is the home of affordable and cost effective radio advertising. In fact, your business could be on air 7 days a week, for less than a pint of beer a day.

We are the only reactive media outlet exclusively for Newquay and the surrounding villages - you can hear us on 106.1fm, online and on your Smart Speaker.

Also, we are a NOT FOR PROFIT station; we don't have massive overheads or boards of directors to pay. We are here to serve the town we love.

Radio Newquay brings you regular news updates, the latest surf forecasts, news of events & happenings around the town plus specialist programmes featuring performances from our vibrant music scene.

A whole selection of organisations, including schools, charities, groups, voluntary organisations and local businesses have access to Radio Newquay and play a part in our output.

Since we launched in September 2018 we've been a platform to help share everything that happen in our town, with responsibility and empathy - which is needed more now than ever.

Right now, we have a concentrated audience across the town and surrounding villages who are looking for open businesses just like yours. We can offer very reasonable advertising campaigns and also free business profiles on-air as well.

Not everyone is on social media - and if they are, online platforms are getting so congested with posts that it's harder than ever to get your message across. Radio allows you to cut through the noise.

Who listens?

Anecdotally, our listeners come from a wide demographic with one thing in common - their love for the town. They will hear your message as they go about their daily lives at home, at work and in the car.

Also, visitors who choose our home as their holiday destination each year will hear your message as they enjoy a well earned break.

Our online listening statistics show that although the majority of our listeners are based in Newquay, we also have a sizeable audience across the country - people who are ex-pats as well as those who want to re-live, or are looking forward to their next holiday.

The statistics

Since we launched in September 2018, we've seen a consistent growth in listeners.

Unfortunately, we are unable to ascertain the number of people who choose to listen to Radio Newquay on FM. This is researched by a survey called RAJAR, which is used by commercial and BBC stations. To be a part of RAJAR would be commercially-unviable (many thousands of pounds every month). So we can only quote figures from our online listening.

In May 2024, as the county's heritage station Pirate FM disappeared to be replaced by national networks, we saw a significant increase in listenership pretty much overnight. Of those who came to try us, we are pleased to share that a large number appear to have stayed and our figures continue to grow each month.

Average number of connections to our online stream every month: 109,000 (+93% year on year increase)

Each connection listens for an average of 90 minutes

We have 11,500 followers on Facebook, where we regularly post local content. This see an average reach of 112,000 people per week.

(Stats: October 2024 - Average figures are across a three month rolling period)
