Moms, sisters, wives, daughters — with over 2,197 women in the Tri-State diagnosed with breast cancer each year, chances are you or someone you love has been touched by this disease. Throughout the month of October, Hubbard Cincinnati stations are proud to help support the community that supports us through breast cancer awareness events including Bosom Ball, Pretty in Pink and Making Strides.

On October 1st, Mix 94.9 saluted breast cancer survivors and fighters at our Pretty in Pink Party. One hundred listener-nominated survivors were invited to an uplifting evening of fun, delicious food and a table full of prizes from our event partners.

On October 20th, Q102’s 15th Bosom Ball event celebrated the ones who lost the fight and the ones that survived at the Madison Theater featuring national artists Ingrid Michaelson and Maddie Poppe. The event helped raise over $13,000 for Susan G. Komen for the Cure and the American Cancer Society.

On October 26th, The Big Dave Show emceed the American Cancer Society’s Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk at Yeatman’s Cove. We are proud to be a partner in this event each year to help raise money for research and patient services.

Thank you to our partners for your continued support of these events!

Hubbard Paints the Town PINK!

Since country music took over the airwaves of 105.1 in 1969, WUBE has been dedicated to creating great partnerships with artists, listeners and advertisers. This year the station has been celebrating 50 years with those partnerships and our community through concerts, giveaways, fundraising and even adding a little more flavor to the Tri-State ice cream selection!

B-105 partnered with Graeter’s Ice Cream on a very special and limited-edition flavor to celebrate the station’s 50th anniversary. Honeycomb Ice Cream was available in all Graeter’s stores this summer. To kick off its launch, Amanda & Jesse took their afternoon show “live” on the road at several Graeter’s locations.

B-105 partnered with Cincy Shirts on a special 50th anniversary t-shirt. In addition to that design, the apparel company also produced and sold vintage WUBE/B-105 logoed shirts. A portion of the proceeds from each sale benefitted the Cancer and Blood Diseases Institute at Cincinnati Children’s. Several were spotted at B-105’s Official 50th Birthday Bash with Jason Aldean at Riverbend Music Center. Click 

The ultimate celebration for WUBE’s Golden Anniversary was B-105’s Official 50th Birthday Bash starring Jason Aldean, Kane Brown and local girl (Taylor Mill, KY) and rising Country Music star, Carly Pearce at SOLD OUT Riverbend Music Center on Thursday, August 22nd. Graeter’s handed out cups of the B-105 Honeycomb flavor to all who stopped by B-105’s tent. Each artist also gave special “shout outs” to the radio station to acknowledge its 50 years of being Cincinnati’s Country…

Jon, Q102 Influencer for Gruelle Dempsey Orthodontics

““Radio is a big part of our media mix. The Hubbard team put together an annual campaign utilizing an on-air DJ to endorse our practice. In 2018 we grew in new patients and starts by 15%. It was well worth the investment as it more than paid for itself. We love our partnership with Q102, and are looking forward to another great year.”  – Jerrod Dempsey, DMD, MS – Gruelle Dempsey Orthodontics

With the saturation of micro-influencers in media, how can you be sure your partner has the following and clout necessary for success?

Studies continuously state that more than 90% of Americans listen to radio each week.  A more recent report now shares that 

 in the nation, surpassing TV and social media. In the report, 84% of survey respondents felt that radio “understands what is important to them.”  80% also state that radio “aligns with their core values.”  And in the Jacobs Media Tech Survey 2019, 59% of listeners say that personalities are the main reason they tune in to radio, with 86% saying the advantage of radio is its local feel.

Radio personalities are a trusted friend who have the ear of their listeners every day. Their ability to personally connect with consumers on-air and online gives them the opportunity to influence their habits and makes them the ideal endorsement partner.  Hubbard Cincinnati has a proven track record with effective influence marketing campaigns.

The Original Social Influencers

During its annual Worldwide Developers Conference, Apple announced that it’s now making it easier to listen to your favorite radio stations just by asking Siri.  “Today we’re introducing live radio so you can ask Siri to play stations from iHeartRadio, TuneIn and Radio.com,” a company executive announced on June 3rd. “In fact we have over 100,000 radio stations from all around the world.”

Other announcements were made during the conference, including the introduction of Handoff.  This feature will allow users to start audio on one Apple device, then transfer to another device with a tap.  With Handoff, you’ll be able to listen to a live radio stream on your iPhone then continue to listen at home or in the office with the Apple HomePod speaker.

Apple Makes it Easier to Listen to Radio

First broadcasting in 1920 making it the oldest electronic medium, Radio has the highest reach of adults in America reaching 92% each week. That figure has remained consistent even in a world of numerous audio choices. Compare that to television, which has continued to lose viewers throughout the years, as more and more adults “cut the cord” and tune into other video choices. TV’s weekly reach dropped 86% in the past year.

Recent studies illustrate why radio continues to be relevant in listeners’ lives. It’s a top choice for local news and a leading medium for teens and young adults to discover new music, connecting with listeners of all walks of life.
