You have to understand that there's a huge range between the bottom and the top
in the world of radio, just as there's an enormous difference between the bottom
and the top in, say, rock bands.
On the one end, there's an AM radio station that transmits with 1,000 watts and
can be heard by the 2,000 people in a farm town in central Nebraska. It signs on
with the corn, hog, and soybean prices at 5:00 in the morning, carries the local
news, weather, and obituaries right after that, has three hours of phone-in
buy-sell-and-trade sponsored by the Farm and Feed for the rest of the morning,
an interview with the County Extension Office's barley expert right after lunch,
some music from Mr. Ericsson's personal record collection in the afternoon, the
station manager comes on to discuss his favorite recipes from 4 to 6 in the
afternoon, and the day wraps up with a play-by-play broadcast of the Central
School's softball game live from Heifer Stadium after dinner. The game goes into
extra innings, and by the time it ends, most folks have turned off the radio and
gone to bed, because tomorrow is another work day. At last, the game is over.
The players are exhausted, and the radio announcer can finally shut the station
down and go home. It's almost 9:30 .
At this station, the station owner/manager himself may handle the on-air duties.
Or, if there are any 'hosts' or 'announcers' who keep things going on the air, they're
either volunteers, who do it mainly so their girl-friends can hear them on the radio,
or else they earn a little walking-around money plus maybe a free lunch once
a week at the truck stop over on the highway that sponsors the cotton report
on Tuesdays.
At the other end of the range, you'll find the 'host' on the FM rock station in
New York, Chicago, LA, Houston, or San Francisco. The signal from his station
may reach 8 million people. But there are 30 other radio stations that do the
same, and they all do everything they can think of to capture the listeners.
One of the things they have to do is be exquisitely careful about who they
put on the air, and the competition to land one of those spots, among the
so-called "talent", is fierce. Nobody will even be considered unless he's been
on the air in smaller places for years, turned out to be somebody who could
magically attract the ears of a large audience, and made a name for himself
in the business. He's got a chance to land the spot on a station in a big place.
His agent or his manager negotiates with the station owners, and if they come
together on the terms to hire this guy, then they actually put it in writing, they
all sign a contract, and he goes on the air for them. This one may be hauling
down several hundred $K a year, or more.
And then there are all the voices in between these extremes.
So the answer to the question is: Typically, generally, usually, somewhere
between nothing and a $million a year.
According to Yahoo!, "radio personalities" earn between $20,000 & $30,000 dollars each year.

I would like to know, "What happen to Monique's radio show in Houston, Texas, is she still on the air?
No, not legally. When you buy a product, you own it. The radio station sells you air-time. As long as you abide by the rules of what's legal to broadcast, nobody else can cancel the sale.
There are no set requirements for DJ jobs or for on air personalities. But most of the DJs you hear on the radio have spent lots of time behind the scenes working their way up the radio station ladder. A lot of people with DJ jobs start out with internships at a radio station. So how do you get an internship? Probably the easiest way is to attend a broadcasting school. Many broadcasting schools have two or one-year programs and internship opportunities. Radio stations want interns who are serious about the industry, so they first go to broadcasting schools first with their internship openings. An internship is a great first step for those who dream of one day having DJ jobs.
The average salary for radio, on-air talent is around $75,000 (as of 2014). The actual salary will depend on location, experience, and company.

Radio station is based on radio frequency. if you want to grow your radio station then there are two important things to remember while promoting a radio station. 1. Radio is not a (direct) sale medium like TV or the Internet. You do not sell the product on air. You can only encourage people to call in, visit your website or ask their friends to listen to your radio station. 2. How good your ad depends on how much you spend on the airtime. There is no other way to get exposure for your ads. Therefore, if you are looking at a brand new radio station, then the only way to get the exposure is to spend more money on the airtime.
