Radio serving up weather-triggered ads with a side of digital. When snow flies, the cancellations stack up, and for radio, so do the weather-trigger advertisers. But for some marketers and stations, digital is now playing just as big a role in their weather-related ad plans. “We do still use radio for weather triggers as most consumers will still turn to the radio, particularly when electricity is out,” Mediavest EVP Maribeth Papuga says. “There has also been more use on digital in recent years.” CBS Radio’s portfolio of all-news stations has for decades made it a popular destination for weather-trigger ads since marketers have ratings data showing it’s traffic, weather — and snow — that go together during the winter months. “We sell digital as part of the package for our weather trigger program and it’s definitely now driving the sales,” says Chad Lopez, general sales manager for CBS-New York’s all-news sisters WINS (1010) and WCBS (880). From full page takeovers on station websites, to banner ads and in-stream spots, Lopez puts digital on equal footing with on-air in the minds of most of their weather-trigger clients. “We’ve always pitched it as part of the package, but over the past three years digital has become stronger and it’s gotten more representation in the package,” he says.
