Satellite Radio Already Viable Direct Response Advertising Channel

In a recent Media Daily News piece, Erik Sass writes that "satellite radio may provide a perfect vehicle for a new generation of direct marketers".

He's right. For nearly a year now, we've been placing media on satellite radio. It has proven to be a viable, profitable channel for direct response radio advertising campaigns.

But it's hardly a breakthrough or revolutionary medium. To the contrary, it's very similar to terrestrial radio. The most notable exception is that the data available for audience sizes - like that provided by Arbitron - isn't as reliable. To compensate, we've used different testing methodologies to augment the data that is available.
