In addition to the new station, the campaign will also see promotional activity run across the main Bauer radio stations. Over 30 presenters will head to midnight screenings around the country followed by multiple channel takeovers over the opening weekend, featuring competitions to find the UK’s biggest Bond fans.

No Time To Die is also sponsoring the David Arnold Bond Series on Scala Radio, with 10” credits and promotional trials.

Matt Batchelor, Group Commercial Director, Bauer Media Advertising, said: “Like the rest of the world, we’ve been patiently waiting for No Time To Die and the return of Bond to the big screen. Through a collaborative approach we’ve crafted a smart and unique solution that will create genuine impact with our audience.

“The relationship our stations have with our listeners has deepened during the last 18 months. They have increasingly turned to radio as a source of entertainment, so this is the perfect moment to harness that influence to encourage our audience back to the cinema and get them thinking 007, 24/7!”
