Audio can be sent to us in a variety of ways. The quickest and easiest method by far is via our FTP site (call us on 0207 468 6600 to set up an account). We require standard WAV files at 44.1 KHz 16 bit. Each file should be labelled with the ad title and slated if possible. If you are sending multiple commercials they must be sent as separate files. The audio should not peak above -10dB or PPM6. We can also accept audio on DAT, CD Audio/CD-ROM (using the above specification) or via ISDN.

Audio must not be over/under the specified duration including any decay and if sent to us on a DAT or via ISDN should have a 1 KHz line-up tone at 0dB / PPM4 with each ad clearly slated.

If ordering through the IMD Online Booking Wizard, you will be prompted for all necessary info. For emailed orders, you will need to provide:

• Rotation Instructions.
• Consignment Note - If your commercial has music, PRS information must be provided.
• RACC Approved Script(s) - Radio stations will NOT broadcast any commercial without prior RACC Approval. To learn more about the RACC, click here.
