You’ve been reading all about radio stations – so how about visiting one? A great way to get a real insight into the world of Radio Advertising is to go on a station tour.
RadioWorks can arrange a station tour for you and your colleagues and you can also combine it with an Insight Academy session.
The RadioWorks Insight Academy sessions can provide you with an update on the many industry developments, station changes, RAJAR updates and technological developments. If you have the time to do a half-day session that would be great, but bite-sized sessions are also available.
If you're interested in a station tour or Insight Academy, drop me a line today.

For someone who likes almost all types of music – apart from the really heavy head-banging stuff – I tend to switch my stations quite a lot depending on the time of day. At the moment I really love Heart London. It’s a great mix of old and new music and the constant tube updates are seriously handy in the mornings!
I find the DJs quite funny and I always feel involved in what they’re talking about - it's usually stuff I can relate to. Overall it’s a good start to the morning when I switch on Heart!
