WCVB.com is… LOCAL
A majority of WCVB.com’s traffic is derived
directly from users within the Boston DMA.
This ensures that your advertising
campaign message is served up to your
target audience.
Beware of other local sites boasting large
online traffic but with a high proportion of
users from out-of-state, thus rendering them
useless to your advertising campaign.
The Power of TV & Online Together
A significant differentiator of WCVB.com is its ability
to cross-promote using WCVB-TV. Our proven “web
driver” formula along with consistent on-air
promotion helps deliver high traffic to WCVB.com.
