Default Does anyone have experience with the radio?

I was offered 40 commercials for 700$ on a very popular radio station. My app is only 99 cents, and I'm unsure if I should take this offer. I would need like 20 downloads per commercial to at least break even, and I'm not sure if that can realistically happen. What would you guys do?

I'd advertise on the Cult of Mac website or something else. iPhone users really don't listen to the radio

Thanks man. Yeah I was thinking about advertising with them and a few other sites, but they look pretty iffy to invest in as well. The guy working with me at the station said my commercial will reach 155,000 each week, and I figure 25% of them have an iPhone / iPad. I think I might do it., but 700$ is such a huge risk, I'm pawning my TV for the cash lol.

Update: Failed miserably. I wouldn't recommend radio commercials at all.
