Centred one of the Cinque Ports of England, dedicated to playing the best music from the 1960's to the 2020's, non-stop, online. It's not a big national network - which is exactly why it works for local advertisers around Hastings, Bexhill, Battle and Rother. 

 

 

Here are the real reasons to use us:

 

1. You get Hastings & 1066 Country coverage.

Your ad isn't wasted on people in Croydon or Brighton. It's heard by people who can actually walk into your shop, book your service, or come to your event in 1066 Country. For a local business, that's the most efficient spend.

 

2. Incredibly loyal, older-spending audience

60s-20s music format means 30+ to 75+ listeners who grew up with that music - homeowners, with disposable income, who still listen to actual radio all day in the workshop, van, kitchen and car. They trust their local presenters.

 

3. Community trust is better than commercial clutter.

On Heart or More Radio you're ad number12 in a 6-minute block. On a community station like Radio 1066, there are far fewer ads per hour, your message stands out, and it's read by presenters people know by name.

 

4. Cheap compared to big radio.

A campaign on More Radio / Heart Sussex will be £1,000s for a week. On Radio1066 you can get sponsorship of a show, presenter reads, competitions and on-air + online mentions for a fraction. Perfect if you want frequency - same listener hearing you 3-4 times a day.

 

5. Multi-platform now.

It's  online stream + app + smart speaker. So you get the van driver on Bluetooth in Hastings Old Town AND the ex-pat listening online in Eastbourne, plus socials and website links.

 

6. You can DO something with it.

We will let you do things the big groups won't:

Sponsor the Weather / Travel / a decade hour

Outside broadcast from your premises

Interview feature about your business

Run a competition / giveaway to drive footfall

Record a proper local ad with local voices

 

7. Supports local, which customers like.

Saying "as heard on Radio1066 " and "proud supporter of your local community station" plays really well in this area. People want to support businesses that support Hastings and 1066 Country.

 

If you tell us what you're thinking of advertising - shop, service, event? - I can draft you a 30-second script and a pitch email to you with what to ask for (breakfast vs daytime, how many plays, package price).
