How it works:

News: The Radio Muscle news team makes the same regular beat calls, phone interviews, and news source checks any news operation would. We get on the distribution lists for school board and government agendas. We check your local TV and newspaper web sites. We can even keep your station on top of breaking news.

Weather: We have access to all of the computer models, weather data and information that the other services have. Our meteorologists have the training and education to know how to use that information to create the most accurate forecast possible.

Radio Muscle meteorologists maintain accuracy ratings of 82% to 93%**. We have beaten the National Weather Service on every major snow storm in the Rockies this year, and boast 35 consecutive days of high temperature verifications in Odgen, Utah.

Delivery: For most stations, there's no expensive equipment to buy, lease, install or maintain. Our delivery software runs on any PC. As long as your current automation system can play or import MP3 files, you're set!

Opportunity: Local news and accurate forecasts guarantee you listeners. Guaranteed listeners mean premium sponsorships. Premium sponsorships grow your revenue.

We guarantee it will cost less than the real dollars associated with barter arrangements and much less than hiring staff directly.
