Why Streaming Radio Works in the Tri-State Area
The New York metro area is one of the most expensive and crowded media markets in the country. Streaming radio gives local businesses a focused alternative: choose the music audience that matches your customer and reach them on phones, smart speakers and connected cars during the commute, at work and at home. NextWave adds website banners, sponsored articles and social posts so the same customer hears your message and sees where to go next.
- Buy the audience, not the whole metro. Pick the format that matches your customer instead of paying for broad reach you do not need.
- A local team. Campaigns are planned from our New York office in Great Neck, on Long Island.
- One order, several touchpoints. Streaming spots, a show sponsorship, website placements and social promotion, scheduled together.
- Track the results. Use a campaign-specific vanity URL, promo code or call-tracking number to see what the campaign drives.
Serving Advertisers Across the Tri-State Area
NextWave works with businesses throughout the region, including advertisers in:
- New York City: Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx and Staten Island
- Long Island: Nassau and Suffolk counties, from Great Neck to the Hamptons
- Hudson Valley and Westchester: White Plains, Yonkers, New Rochelle and beyond
- New Jersey: Northern New Jersey, Newark, Jersey City, Hoboken, Central Jersey and the Jersey Shore
- Connecticut: Fairfield County, Stamford, Greenwich, Norwalk, New Haven and Hartford
Tell us where your customers are and we will recommend the station mix and placements that fit. When you request a proposal, we share the most current audience information we have for your area.

Pair The Alternative One or Rock ‘n’ Roll Radio spots with a website feature and social posts to sell tickets for a show or festival.
Summer shore season
Run Yacht Rock Radio schedules for Hamptons, Long Island and Jersey Shore businesses from Memorial Day through Labor Day.
Holiday retail push
Build a November–December flight around gift guides, promo codes and a sponsored article on the station websites.
How a Local Campaign Comes Together

One station, a pair of formats that fit your customer, or the full network for reach.

Streaming spots, a show or station sponsorship, website placements, sponsored articles and social posts.
4. Launch and track
We help you set up a vanity URL, promo code or tracking link so you can see what the campaign drives.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does radio advertising cost in New York?
Cost depends on the stations, the number of spots, the length of the flight and whether you add digital placements. Streaming audio is typically priced on a CPM (cost per thousand impressions) basis and is often more affordable than broadcast radio in the New York market. Our guide to what a 30-second radio ad costs walks through sample budgets, and we will quote your exact campaign on request.
Can I reach only New Jersey or only Long Island?
Tell us the towns or counties you serve. We will recommend the station mix, placements and timing that best fit your area and explain what is available for your market when we send the proposal.
Is NextWave a local company?
Yes. NextWave Broadcasting has an office in Great Neck, New York, and another in Los Angeles. Tri-State campaigns are planned from New York.
Do I need a finished radio ad?
No. You can supply finished creative, or ask about production options when you request your proposal.
