As a Non profit radio station, there are certain rules that must be followed to stay in compliance with the FCC rules.  For example, language that includes a “call to action” like “shop here” and “call today” cannot be used.  Nor can comparatives like “the best in town”.  Prices and inducements cannot be used either.  As limiting as this may sound, it is easy to create a radio spot that is still in compliance.
 
An example spot:
Custom Designs is located at 121 S Market Street in London, Ohio.  Custom Designs offers graphics design and illustration services for small businesses.  Custom Designs has helped many local businesses create the marketing materials they needed to grow their business.  Now in it's 26th year of business, Custom Designs has been owned and operated by Robert T. Smith since 1991.  If you would like some new ideas you can call Custom Designs at 740-852-9999 or you can visit their website at www.custom_designs.com.  That's Custom Designs in downtown London.
 
If your company has a published slogan it CAN be used, such as The Best in the Midwest!  We have used “Try Buckeye” and “The Hat is where it’s at”.
 
As a Christian based radio station, ReadyFM, and it's staff has the right to refuse to do business with any person, business or organization.

We do our best to create professionally sounding spots and they can be changed as you would like. There is NO fee to create the spot, and you can be given a CD copy that you can use to place on your website, or for hold music on your phones.  Banners can also be created at no cost, or provided by the sponsoring business.  If a banner is provided, the recommended size is 550px wide by 116px high.  Other dimensions will be scaled to fit the website, but the scaling may distort the banner.
