Bring the Rhythm & News Power 40 Countdown to Your Station!

Rhythm & News Power 40 is a professionally produced weekly countdown combining streaming chart performance and radio airplay to rank 40 of the biggest songs in music.

But this isn’t just another countdown.

Every position follows a simple formula:

CHART POSITION → STORY → SONG

Listeners hear where the song ranks, what’s happening with the artist, and then the music.

40 songs. 40 stories. One countdown to number one.

And unlike many syndicated programs, Rhythm & News is available to only one terrestrial affiliate per defined market.

Once your station secures the affiliation, your market is protected according to the terms of your affiliate agreement.

WE GIVE YOU THE SHOW

Producing a major countdown every week takes time.

Someone has to compile the chart, research 40 artists, follow the latest music news, write the stories, record the program, add the music and produce the final broadcast.

We do it for you.

Your station receives a professionally produced, ready-to-air weekly program with the music included.*

The countdown is delivered in approximately 20-minute broadcast segments, making it easy to integrate into your existing programming.

Between segments, add your commercials, station IDs, sweepers, promotions, news, weather or other local content.

We produce the show. You control the broadcast.

POWER 40. POWER 20. POWER 10.

Not enough time for the entire countdown?

No problem.

Every affiliate receives the complete Power 40 package and can choose how much to broadcast.

POWER 40 — Start at #40 and count down to #1.

POWER 20 — Start at #20.

POWER 10 — Start at #10.

ONE SUBSCRIPTION. ONE PRICE.

There are no separate packages.

One weekend you can air the complete Power 40. The next weekend you can air the Power 20 or Power 10.

Your format can change. Your subscription doesn’t.

YOUR COMMERCIALS. YOUR REVENUE.

Rhythm & News does not take your commercial inventory.

No barter advertising.

No required national commercials.

No advertising revenue sharing.

Your station controls the available advertising inventory surrounding the program.

Sell a presenting sponsorship:

“The Rhythm & News Power 40, presented locally by…”

Sell individual commercials or sponsored features such as the Top 10, Biggest Mover or Road to Number One.

You sell it. You keep the revenue.

Affiliate subscriptions are our revenue.

Your advertising is yours.
