Eric Martin Koppelman has been called “The Jimmy Fallon of the Airwaves” for good reason. With decades behind the mic and as the founder of iRadioUSA and WAIR Digital Broadcasting (495 FM), Eric knows how to capture attention, keep people listening, and — most importantly — keep businesses top of mind.

Eric’s greatest strength isn’t just creating content, it’s creating repetition and consistency. In advertising, that’s the secret weapon: people don’t remember what they hear once — they remember what they hear over and over. Eric has mastered that formula on the radio, across social media, and on-demand platforms like Spotify, iHeartRadio, and beyond.

When Eric promotes your business, he doesn’t just say your name once. He makes sure your message becomes part of the daily conversation. Listeners hear it during their commute. They hear it in the office. They see it again in The Grid Book. They catch it again online. By the time they need what you offer, your business is already the first name that comes to mind.

With Eric, it’s not about hype — it’s about being everywhere, consistently, until you’re impossible to ignore. That’s why local businesses trust him to deliver real results.

When it comes to promoting a business, the secret is simple: repetition and consistency. People don’t remember what they hear once — they remember what they hear every single day. That’s what I deliver. I put businesses in front of listeners again and again — on 495 FM, Spotify, iHeartRadio, Facebook, LinkedIn, and more. I make sure your name becomes the one people think of when it’s time to buy. For over 20 years, I’ve been helping businesses get noticed. With me, it’s not about hype — it’s about keeping your message alive until you’re impossible to ignore.

“Repetition. Consistency. Results. That’s how I make your business unforgettable.”

The No-BS 495.fm FAQ

What is 495.fm?

Back in 2005, Eric launched iRADIOUSA, which still runs today. From that foundation we built 495.fm — a local digital broadcast Long Island radio station focused on reaching listeners from Manhattan to Orient Point and every town in between.

People love our Lost Classic Hits because nobody else plays what we play. We’re not corporate-controlled — we play what we want and say what we want — and we’ve built an advertising platform second to none, making us the most affordable and effective option you’ll find anywhere.

What do I actually get for $10/month?

More than “just a radio ad.” You get a multi-platform, multi-touch campaign that puts your business everywhere:

  • A custom, professionally produced 60-second audio ad(written and voiced for you).
  • Your ad airs on 495.fm 4× daily — that’s 120+ guaranteed plays each month.
  • A branded profile in The GRID Book with a QR code that drives traffic straight to you.
  • An article in Long Island Patch spotlighting your business and story.
  • A 15-minute on-air interview with Eric, then on-demand across Spotify, iHeartRadio, Facebook Live, X, and more.
  • We also help your business be found via AI search (not just Google) so you’re visible where people are looking next.
Is 495.fm really the most affordable way to advertise, or is that just hype?

It’s not hype — it’s fact. While other stations bleed you dry for thousands a month, we get you on the air for $10 a month — no gimmicks. If you can’t afford that, you don’t want to grow.

Why would I waste money on Facebook or Google when I can be on 495.fm?

Exactly. With Facebook and Google, you’re paying to gamble on an algorithm. With 495.fm, you’re guaranteed airtime — your ad WILL run, your brand WILL get heard. No casino games, just straight exposure.

Do I really get a custom radio commercial made for me?

Hell yes. We don’t slap together cookie-cutter garbage. You get a professionally written and produced 60-second spot that makes you sound like a boss — and an MP3/MP4 copy to blast on your socials and website.

How many times will people actually hear my ad?

Your spot runs at least 4× every single day. That’s 120+ plays a month — for ten bucks. Do the math. No other station comes close.

How much does it cost — really?

$10 per month or $120 per year. No hidden fees, no upsells required. Just steady, predictable promotion.

How fast can we go live?

Usually within 48 hours after we get your info and payment. We write/produce your spot, send for a quick approval, and you’re on the air.

Do I have to sign my life away?

Nope. You pay yearly ( $120). If you love it, renew. If you don’t, walk. No penalties, no drama. We don’t do handcuffs here.

Can a small business really get noticed on radio?

That’s the whole point. 495.fm was built to make the little guys sound big. We put you in front of a loyal Long Island audience every day — and since we stream, you get global reach too.

Be real — is there anything better out there for the money?

Not a chance. $10 a month gets you daily radio plays, a custom ad, on-air interview, Patch article, GRID profile with QR, and multi-platform exposure. Show me another deal like that — I’ll wait.
