radio ad

Heard, not seen

A radio ad is a commercial advertisement broadcast over radio.

Unlike television or print ads, radio ads rely entirely on audio—voice, music, and sound effects—to convey their message.

They typically run fifteen to sixty seconds: I heard a radio ad for that new restaurant on my commute.
