What is Information Radio?


With the facilities of Information Radio 1610/1660 government entities and non-profit organizations can announce at no charge:


1. Community Events

2. List points of interest

3. Provide information on road construction or detours

4. Promote any activity open to the general public

5. Promote community Garage Sales

6. Promote other charitable activities and fund raisers.

Information Radio can be easily heard in the following communities:

Along Interstate 75 from just south of SR725 to north of Needmore Road

Many of the Five Rivers Metro Parks
Miami Township (some marginal areas)
Miamisburg (some marginal areas)
Moraine
Oakwood

Since the station is designed as a low power (10 watts) AM station, there will always be some areas where trolley lines or high-power utility lines may cause some temporary interference but in the areas listed, the interference caused by these lines is minimal.

We are also planning other stations in central Dayton and on the north side of Dayton to provide additional coverage.

The stations are promoted through:

1 Local Media
2 Vehicle inserts by Hertz
3 Signs provided by the local communities in the right-of-way

Additionally with the Information Radio facilities long running announcements for local attractions, such as museums, amusement parks, parks and others can be run on an on-going basis.

We work with local communities to support Information Radio 1610/1660 with signs posted on local highways and major arteries like these signs in Kettering on East Stroop Road.
