What you get with Ore Stone Radio advertising
A short list
A fixed number of plays per day, every day, for the full campaign period
Clear time targeting (daytime, nighttime, or a chosen daily window depending on package)
A dedicated full-page website advert (your offer, your story, your call-to-action)
Help with wording, tone, and delivery so it sounds like it belongs on the station
Who this works for
Radio advertising works best for local, practical businesses people actually use. Trades, venues, bars, events, gyms, restaurants, services, local shops, online businesses with a South West customer base. If someone can hear you today and buy from you this week, you’re a fit.
If you’re not sure, send what you do and who you want to reach. I’ll tell you straight whether it’s likely to land well.

Radio Advertising FAQ
What areas do you accept adverts from?
We accept advertisers from anywhere in the UK. We have listeners all over the country. That said, Ore Stone Radio is built around the South West, so adverts aimed at Devon, Cornwall, Dorset, Somerset, Wiltshire, Gloucestershire and Bristol usually get the best response. If you serve a specific town or service radius, we’ll make sure your ad copy names it so the right people instantly know it’s for them.
Who is your audience and what’s the typical age range?
It varies by time of day. Daytime listening tends to skew 35–50. Nights are more 16–30. If you tell us what you’re promoting, we’ll point you at the slot that fits your customers best.
How many times per day will my advert play?
Starter Spots run 4 plays per day in your chosen block (days or nights). Targeted Campaigns run 6 plays per day within your chosen 8-hour window, agreed at purchase so it’s clear and consistent.
Can I choose when my advert plays?
Yes. Starter Spots are either days or nights. Targeted Campaigns let you choose an 8-hour daily window so you can match your opening hours, peak bookings, or event times.
Do you write the advert for me?
Yes, if you want it. Starter Spots can be based on your wording or we can tighten it up so it sounds natural on-air. Targeted Campaigns include a fully produced 30-second advert, including script polish, voice, and mix.
What types of businesses advertise well on Ore Stone Radio?
Local services and businesses people actually act on quickly. Events and venues, trades, hospitality, fitness, retail, creators, and online businesses with a clear South West customer base. If your offer is vague or nationwide with no local hook, it can still run, but it usually performs better with a clear audience and area.
Do you accept every advertiser?
No. We keep ad load sensible and we protect the listener experience. If something’s misleading, low quality, or not appropriate for the station, we won’t run it.
Can I update my offer during the campaign?
Yes. It’s common to update seasonal offers, event dates, menus, or service availability. We’ll keep it consistent so it still sounds like your brand while staying current.
If you need a new fully produced radio advert, there’s an extra £49 production fee.
Do I own the produced advert, and can I use it elsewhere?
Yes. Once we’ve produced your advert, the finished mastered file is yours to keep. You can reuse it anywhere you like, including on your website, social media, in-store, and even on other radio stations.
How quickly can my advert go live?
Starter Spots can go live once the wording and your website advert page are ready. Produced Campaigns go live after production is completed and signed off.
Are your ready to begin your radio advertising journey?
