TIME IS RUNNING OUT – NOW THROUGH THE END OF FEBRUARY, Krypton Radio is offering all ads and sponsorships at a low 50% introductory rate! Just take whatever you see for pricing, cut it in half, and that’s what you’ll pay.

Krypton Radio reaches a select and rapidly growing target audience of science fiction, comic book, steampunk and gaming fandom. In a world teaming with podcasts, Krypton Radio is one of the few actual internet radio stations (if not the only) of its kind in the world. If you’d like to become a Krypton Radio sponsor to support our efforts to bring the best in science fiction, comic book and just generally geeky radio to fans the world over, here’s your chance!

We seem to have hit a nerve with the fannish population of the world, and new Krypton Radio readers and listeners are visiting and tuning in all the time. So that you know what you’d be getting for your advertising dollar, here are some statistics about Krypton Radio:

Krypton Radio is currently growing its traffic at the rate of about 14% to 24% per month. Alexa.com rates us in roughly the top 7% of the internet as a whole in terms of our site’s popularity and traffic.
We have over a thousand fans on our Facebook page. Our fan base continues to increase, amplifying the effect and bringing in even more web site and radio stream traffic month by month.
Our radio stream reaches over 4,000 distinct listeners world wide each month, reaching listeners in 109 countries around the world.
An estimated 66% of our listeners come from the United States, Germany and Japan.
Our web site currently serves up over 85,000 page views per month, with approximately 87% of this traffic originating in the United States. We also have over nine thousand subscribers who read our articles via RSS feed (yes, we know “it’s over 9,000″ is an internet meme, but we’re serious here) – and few web sites are accompanied by working round-the-clock radio streams as ours is.

We offer two ways to support Krypton Radio:

If no empty spaces are viewable, please email sales@kryptonradio.com to request an open space be added. If a monthy payment is preferred, a renewal notice will be sent at the end of the time period (in case you wish to purchase an additional month). With a subscription, the next 30, 60 or 90 days’ payment will automatically be withdrawn at the beginning of the new period. The automatic payment can be stopped by the subscriber by cancelling it in their Paypal account at any time except on the Paypal withdrawal date. Once the subscription is stopped, the ad will run it’s course until the time is up.

The Fill-In-The-Company is the place to find all the best whatever-they-are’s in Your Real or Virtual Location.
