What does it cost a station to work with Airtime?

Nothing up front. We supply the commercials and the advertisers. You provide the unsold inventory; we share the revenue every month.

Do we have to give up paid inventory?

No — Airtime only fills unsold remnant time. The moment you sell a slot at full rate, that slot is yours.

How and when do stations get paid?

Weekly performance email, monthly payment recap, and a check in the mail. We've paid out over $150M to stations since 1984.

Are the spots brand-safe?

Yes. All spots are direct-response commercials from vetted national advertisers — insurance, home services, legal, finance, DTC — and you approve the categories that run on your air.

How long does it take to start earning?

Most stations are airing spots within a week of signing and see their first revenue inside 30 days.

TV commercials that pay off

We help stations turn unsold inventory into real dollars.

Airtime Media has had a payout of over $150 million in media checks. How? We help stations monetize their unsold inventory by providing them with TV commercials to fill time that would otherwise go unused.

Don't eat the costs of unsold ad space. Let the experts at Airtime Media make the most of this time by providing TV commercials that do double duty. Aside from filling inventory, our TV commercials are also direct response — meaning you get credit for all the leads your station generates by airing the ads.

We even provide you with a weekly email report and a monthly payment recap, so you can track your revenue simply and quickly.
