What Do They Do?

Sells radio advertising and digital marketing services to local, regional and national advertisers.

How Do They Make Money?

Advertisers buy radio spots, and Saga earns the revenue when each spot airs. Digital campaign revenue comes as each service is delivered, typically within a month; concert and promotional-event revenue comes when the event is completed.
