-The Company's principal source of revenue was selling radio time to advertisers.  In a typical relationship for a one hour show provided by the Company, a radio station agreed to provide them with one 60 second advertising spot each time a show was broadcast.

-Other revenue sources included subscription services, where customers would receive daily faxes and emails containing show prep sheets. Another alternative revenue source was the development and sale of preferred listener tracking software (PLP) to stations like [[KSL (radio)]]. This eventually resulted in the creation of its wholly owned subsidiary NBG Solutions.
