JONESBOROUGH, TENNESSEE — November 2026

For many small businesses, advertising presents a familiar challenge: reaching potential customers without committing to expensive campaigns, complicated contracts, or large production budgets.

Wayne Bodie Books Creative Studio is exploring a different approach.

Through its recently launched online music platform, Wayne Bodie Books Radio, the East Tennessee studio now offers local businesses an opportunity to introduce their products and services through short audio commercials, branded visual placements, and affordable 30-day sponsorships.

The concept is straightforward: create a professional listening experience, develop original content, and make advertising opportunities accessible to businesses that may not have substantial marketing budgets.

From Original Music to a Digital Advertising Platform

Wayne Bodie Books Radio began as a way to bring the studio's growing original music catalog into one convenient listening experience.

The platform features independently produced Christian music, gospel, reggae, soul, rock, and other original recordings.

But creating a radio-style listening platform also presented an opportunity.

If the station could play original music automatically, it could also introduce short promotional messages between songs.

That concept led to the development of an integrated advertising system.

Today, the platform supports scheduled commercial breaks, visual artwork associated with individual advertisements, and a dedicated sponsor placement within its desktop and mobile web player.

A separate native Android application extends the listening experience to mobile users who prefer background playback.

What Can Ten Seconds Accomplish?

A commercial doesn't necessarily need thirty seconds or a large production budget to communicate something useful.

Sometimes ten seconds is enough to introduce a business, identify a service, and give listeners a reason to learn more.

Wayne Bodie Books has already produced short promotional spots for its own publishing catalog, including candle-making books and original thriller fiction.

These productions demonstrate two different creative approaches.

A candle-making advertisement might feature warm narration, gentle music, and an inviting message about handmade fragrances.

A thriller advertisement might use suspenseful narration, atmospheric sound, and dramatic cinematic production.

Both can be presented through the same advertising system.

The creative possibilities vary, but the objective remains the same: deliver a clear, memorable message without unnecessarily interrupting the listening experience.

Audio Advertising That Can Also Be Seen

One distinctive feature of Wayne Bodie Books Radio is its ability to associate promotional artwork with individual audio advertisements.

When a commercial plays on a compatible player, its accompanying square image can appear in the Now Playing display.

Businesses can select an audio-only placement using standard station artwork or provide a custom promotional image for a coordinated audio-and-visual presentation.

The station also offers brief visual spots accompanied by instrumental audio, along with a separate exclusive banner opportunity on its website player.

This gives advertisers several ways to participate without requiring an elaborate campaign.

Advertising Packages Designed for Small Businesses

Wayne Bodie Books Radio currently offers four introductory advertising options.

Visual Spot — $25 for 30 days

Display approved square advertising artwork during a brief station interlude, accompanied by a simple instrumental background.

Audio Spot — $40 for 30 days

Place an approved, approximately ten-second commercial into the station's existing advertising rotation. Standard station sponsor artwork accompanies playback.

Audio + Visual Spot — $55 for 30 days

Combine an approximately ten-second commercial with advertiser-supplied square artwork displayed during playback on compatible players.

Exclusive Founding Station Sponsor — $99 for 30 days

Reserve the existing fixed sponsor banner on the Radio website. This exclusive placement is available to one advertiser at a time and remains visible while the desktop or mobile website player is onscreen.

The $99 offer is introductory founding-sponsor pricing and may change as the platform develops.

All placement rates assume the advertiser supplies the necessary approved materials.

What If a Business Doesn't Have a Commercial?

That's where Wayne Bodie Books Creative Studio can help.

The studio offers optional creative-production services, including:

  • Custom approximately ten-second audio commercial: $49
  • Custom square advertising artwork: $49
  • Combined audio commercial and matching square artwork: $79
  • Custom fixed-banner artwork: $49

These are one-time creative fees, separate from advertising placement.

Businesses with existing materials may submit their own approved assets without purchasing additional production services.

For businesses without an in-house creative department, Wayne Bodie Books can develop the necessary materials through its independent production workflow, combining human creative direction, digital media tools, and AI-assisted production where appropriate.

The objective is to keep the process practical, affordable, and straightforward.

Building an Audience From the Ground Up

Wayne Bodie Books Radio is a newly established independent platform, and its listening audience is still developing.

The studio is committed to presenting its advertising opportunities transparently.

Advertising placement does not guarantee a particular number of listeners, impressions, clicks, or sales.

Instead, founding advertisers have an opportunity to participate during the early development of the station, when introductory rates are available and the platform continues expanding its original content.

For businesses interested in supporting an independent East Tennessee creative venture, the arrangement offers a practical opportunity to explore an additional promotional channel at a modest initial cost.

Local Roots. Independent Creative Direction.

Wayne Bodie Books began as an independent publishing venture and has expanded into original music, audio production, cinematic media, digital applications, and web development.

Wayne Bodie Books Radio brings several of those capabilities together in one functioning digital platform.

For the studio, the station is an opportunity to introduce original creative work to new listeners while developing advertising services that other small businesses can access.

For advertisers, it offers a simple proposition:

Bring your message. We'll help you get it heard.
