Stingray, a leading music, media, and technology company, is proud to announce that the establishment of the economic stimulus plan via its 104 radio stations helped 5,000 local businesses to obtain grants in the form of radio advertising during this unprecedented crisis.

Stimulus grants range from a minimum of $1,000 up to a maximum of $100,000 in radio advertising per business. The recipient business has twelve months to utilize the radio advertising towards booking and airing a radio advertising campaign and is not required to invest additional sums with Stingray radio stations to receive the grant. As provinces throughout Canada undergo various deconfinement phases, now is a crucial time to win back customers who are eager to access services and make long-awaited purchases.
