cuñas de radio
radio spots


Explanation:
also called SPOTS. Merriam Webster:

10 : a brief announcement or advertisement broadcast between scheduled radio or television programs
11 : a brief segment or report on a broadcast especially of news

Cuña: Es la fórmula de transmisión de contenidos publicitarios que impera en la radio. La cuña equivaldría al spot televisivo. En radio, la llamada cuña publicitaria se presenta como un anuncio breve y compacto, susceptible de repetirse cuantas veces se quiera. En general, la cuña no guarda relación alguna con el programa en el cual se inserta, por lo que sus contenidos son igual de válidos para cualquier momento de la emisión.
