| WHAT TYPES OF PROGRAMS ARE WE
LOOKING FOR?
We're looking for variety...not the same
old topics covered on Talk Radio. If it's interesting to adults 35-64, who own their
own homes, own businesses, and live and work here in Tampa Bay, we're interested.
Salem has in place a strict "Advertising Policy" so there are some topics and shows we
won't accept, but generally, if your business falls in these categories, we want to talk to
you:
Healthy Living - Travel - Home Repairs & Technology
- Business and Finance - Children & Seniors - Pet Issues - Inspiration & Motivation
- Recreational Activities & Sports - Environment & Ecology - Healthy Cooking and
Eating Right - Local Politics. By owning and hosting your own radio show on Talk Radio 860 WGUL, you'll gain
recognition as an authority in your particular field. Listeners trust our hosts and
respond to the commercials that air in our programs.

| WHY IS TALK RADIO 860 WGUL DIFFERENT ?
Just listen... the station is different from every
other talk radio station in town.
Talk Radio 860 WGUL is owned by Salem
Communications, a leading U.S. radio broadcaster, Internet content provider, and magazine
and book publisher targeting audiences interested in Christian and family-themed content
and conservative values.
You won't hear advertising for adult establishments,
alcohol, gambling or sexual enhancement products on our station. You will hear
commercials for like-minded local businesses and for Salem owned sister companies like
TownHall.com, Crosswalk.com, and ChristianJobs.com.
Several other radio
stations in town will sell you blocks of time, we work closely with you to make sure that
yours is the best radio show that it can be, and that it's an effective advertising vehicle
for your and your clients.
In the Tampa Bay area, Salem Communications also
owns Tampa Bay's Christian Talk AM 570 & AM 910 WTBN as well as News Talk 930 WLSS in
Sarasota. |

| COMPARE TALK RADIO 860 WGUL TO OTHER
STATIONS
Several bay area stations make time
available like this, so what's different about Talk Radio 860 WGUL? We don't just
sell you the block of time as other stations will. We work closely with you to make
sure your program is produced, promoted and marketed properly... and that it's the best
radio show that it can be. As you compare Talk Radio 860 WGUL to the other radio
stations there are several criteria to consider.
1) Commitment.
Salem owns Talk Radio 860 WGUL and the day-to-day decisions are made by local
management. Salem is committed to both our Christian Teaching and Talk AND our
General Market Talk stations. Both formats compliment each other and express our
conservative views and family values.
2) Investment: Locally, Salem Communications has made a tremendous
investment in the acquisition of the four radio stations here in the Tampa Bay area.
That investment is protected and grown with continuous and on-going promotion and
marketing.
3) Stewardship: When purchasing airtime for a radio program,
ask yourself "where does the money spent with this company really go?" Since
1970, Salem Communications has been on a steady plan of spreading the companies philosophy
across the country. Salem's acquisitions and growth opportunities have always been in
keeping with the principles of faithful stewardship. You can be sure that your
investment with Salem is a wise one. Before purchasing airtime on ANY station, be sure to
look at all the associated properties that the parent company owns and operates.
Would you be proud to put YOUR company name and reputation beside that company and radio
station ?
4) Environment: As careful as we are with the sound of
our stations and the type of advertisers we allow to air, we're also protective of the
workplace environment.
5) Studios: Our facilities are professional,
state-of-the art, clean, comfortable, creative and convenient for our employees, clients
and guests. |  >The Arts & Collectibles

| SHOULD
I HOST A LIVE OR PRE-RECORDED SHOW?
There are several
options to consider.
... for a LIVE show:
1. You can host the show LIVE
from our fully digital studios in Tampa.
2. With special arrangements a remote
studio in Sarasota is can be made available.
3. If you have ISDN, Comrex Access or
Comrex Hotline/Bluebox capabilities, you can host the show from your home
studio.
... for a PRE-RECORDED SHOW:
1. You can deliver a fully produced
show to our in-house FTP server.
2. We can pre-produce and pre-record the entire show
for broadcast.
There is NO ADDITIONAL fee for airing a recorded
program. |
|
| WHAT DOES IT COST?
Here's the one question that can't be answered here. The cost of your show
depends on the day and time your program airs. The best suggestion is to call...
let's discuss the show, your needs and your budget and working together, we'll create the
best situation for you. |

| HOW DO I PAY FOR IT?
This is THEE big
question. The answer depends on what YOU are trying to accomplish.
* You
can host your own show as a part of the marketing and promotion of your own business and
you can place commercials for your product or service inside your show. In this
manner, you can treat the expense as part of the regular advertising budget of your
business.
* There is another approach... you can go out and sell commercials
and sponsorships to other businesses. Commercials for their products and services
will air in your show and the revenue you generate will underwrite and offset the cost of
the program.
Our broadcast agreements call for
payment in advance, via credit card or check... OR... advanced monthly billing with
approved credit. |
