The younger, hits-led option in the Bay of Plenty
Where BayRock and Radio 1XX skew older or genre-specific, Q97 sells current hit music to a younger, broader audience, a natural fit for brands targeting students and early-career professionals.
Why book through RadioBranding
The same three reasons that hold on every station page on this site.
Real stations, current rates
Every station on this page is a real, currently broadcasting outlet. Rates are confirmed against today’s availability, not an old card.
One team, brief to proof
The same team plans your spot mix, books the station and chases proof of posting, so nothing falls between two agencies.
No hidden fees
What you are quoted is what you pay. Any government tax or surcharge is called out before you confirm, never added after.
