Advertising on Townsquare
Townsquare Media provides entertainment, media and digital services. The company owns and runs market-leading radio stations, digital properties, and live events across small and large markets in the United States. It creates and distributes original content that is entertaining and inspirational.
The Q3 report by the company revealed a substantial dip in broadcast revenues. However, there was a modest increase in digital advertising. But the most impressive figures came from the company’s recently launched digital marketing suite. In other words, the digital unit outperformed both radio and television in terms of revenue and profits. The best thing about this is that management was capable of fending off the usual suspects and managed to squeeze by with an unheard $1.1 billion free cash flow (yes that is correct, a free cashflow positive company with a heavy debt load). Townsquare Media is the stock for you if your goal is to have a stock that can pay for itself, and also has plenty of wiggle space.

How To
How do I place my advertisement on a billboard
Billboards were popularized by the United States Army during World War II. They became a standard fixture along roadsides and highways. Many billboards include text advertising and others may also display photographs or artwork. Some billboards display static messages, while others display information that changes frequently, such weather forecasts, stock prices and sports scores.
Most billboards are outdoor displays, although there are indoor versions, too. The majority of outdoor billboards are visible to traffic frequently, while indoor versions may be seen only once every few years. The most common type of outdoor billboard is called a "cubic" billboard because it is composed of three layers -- two sheets of glass sandwiching a layer of fiberglass mesh. This design allows air circulation through the billboard. It keeps it cool during hot weather and warm during cold.
Billboard Advertising Inc. owns many of North America’s largest billboard advertising agencies and pays advertisers to display their ads on its billboards. These companies then make space available on billboards for advertisers. Advertisers buy these spaces based on how much they want to spend on advertising. Advertisers often select the best places for their ads based upon where people walk and drive the most.
Billboard Advertising Inc. also sells ad space. They have contracts with local governments for signs to be erected on city property. Some cities allow billboards wherever they are allowed, while others prohibit them from certain areas. For example, Chicago requires that billboards be no more than 1,000 feet from any highway. Other cities place restrictions on billboards being placed closer than 500ft from schools or churches.
Billboard Advertising Inc. holds contracts to promote products or services in the United States. This includes Florida, California and Nevada, Texas and Arizona, New Mexico and Colorado.
