Wednesday, September 22, 2010>> FRANK SAXEFrank@insideradio.com>> PAUL HEINEPaul@insideradio.com(800) 275-2840THE MOST TRUSTED NEWS IN RADIOExclusive Insider Outlook: August surges ahead, September stays positive.Despite growing worries that the economic recovery is losing steam, the radioindustry posted its best year-over-year revenue numbers in four months in August.The industry was up 7% last month compared to one year ago, according to datacollected from a sample of markets by analyst Jim Boyle for Inside Radio. That’sthe largest increase since May’s similar 7% gain. As has been the case for muchof the year, small markets again topped big markets in August. Small marketswere up an average 9% while the average big market was up 5%. The averagemid-sized market was up 7%. As for those stations that remained in negativeterritory, Boyle says they’re typically in cities where the economy is challenged byissues like real estate. “Some West Coast and Southwest markets had a toughtime,” he notes. Boyle says September pacings are “comparable” to last month,which is particularly encouraging since it’s another litmus test in radio’s recovery.The year-to-year mathematical comparisons are turning toward “less easy” compscompared to what radio faced for much of 2010. Boyle says, “September is thenext big indicator for what may happen to radio revenue growth in the secondhalf of 2010 and into 2011.” Boyle is sticking with his third quarter forecast fornews INSIDE >>>> FCC puts 147FMs up for grabsa 5% revenue increase, the same rate of recoveryhe’s projecting for 2010 as a whole. Based on hisprojections for September and October — evenwithout political dollars — Boyle concludes, “The ongoing radio rebound should continue.” Readour exclusive Insider Outlook and see a five-year comparison of big and small markets HERE.Impatience or over-estimation? Fresh worry political ads won’t live up to expectations. There’s little doubt that politicalspending will be robust in a number of markets this year. Kantar’s Campaign Media Analysis Group estimates it could hit$2.8 billion. But just how big a deal it will be is now less certain. In the first sign that perhaps expectations have exceededreality, television station operator Sinclair Broadcast Group yesterday dampened expectations for third quarter revenue. CFODavid Amy says a big culprit is lower-than-expected campaign spending. For some radio groups, it’s so far been a non-eventaltogether. “Political is not a significant part of our forward pacing,” Saga CFO Sam Bush told analysts last month. Executivesfrom Entercom, Entravision and other groups have cast doubt whether it will be a record-setting year for radio. Wells FargoSecurities analyst Marci Ryvicker says her own research shows political revenue has been “a little bit lighter” than predictedso far. “Our take is that political is still strong but expectations are high,” she tells clients in a research note, adding, “Politicalis coming in later than expected but is still likely to exceed prior years.” CMAG president Evan Tracey says three-quarters ofall political dollars come in the eight weeks leading up to Election Day and all his indicators “point up.” That’s especially truefor radio, which he predicts will take in between $280 million and $300 million this year. Tracey still believes political spendingwill beat 2008 and 2006 records overall, but typically three-quarters of election ad dollars are funneled to local TV stations.On the bright side, broadcasters report core advertising spending has been more robust than what they’d prepared for withbetter-than-expected spending in the automotive, retail, telecom and financial service categories. Ryvicker says she askedif this was a strategy to beat the onslaught of political ads, but for the most part there was no evidence that’s the case.MORE NEWS >> InsideRadio.compage

NEWS Wednesday, September 22, 2010Broadcasters ask court to reject FCC indecency appeal. The big four television networks are asking the U.S. Court ofAppeals for the Second Circuit in New York to toss out the FCC’s appeal. The agency late last month petitioned for the full courtto take a second look at the ruling. A three-judge panel in July ruled the FCC’s indecency policy is “unconstitutionally vague”and has had a “chilling effect” on radio and television stations. The broadcasters’ attorney, Robert Corn-Revere, argues theappeal should be rejected. He accuses the FCC of making the “hyperbolic assertion” that it will no longer be able to enforcebroadcast indecency restrictions. Instead, he says the court already got it right: broadcasters simply want some degree ofcertainty about what’s allowed. Corn-Revere says the Second Circuit decision also doesn’t prevent the Commission fromenforcing the 1978 Pacifica decision barring broadcasters from airing the so-called seven dirty words. The appellate courthas ordered the FCC to review its indecency policy and form new standards that don’t violate broadcasters’ First Amendmentrights. But Commission attorneys have called that a “seemingly impossible” task. Whatever the outcome of the SecondCircuit case, most broadcast attorneys believe the indecency issue will land on the steps of the Supreme Court, possibly assoon as the session that begins the first Monday of October.The internet turns African American media habits upside down. In what it calls “a dramaticshift in media behavior,” the Media Audit reports the average African American spends 4 hoursand 21 minutes per day online — 10% more than the amount of time for all U.S. adults. A similarstudy conducted in 2005 showed the typical amount of time spent online by African Americanswas 1 hour and 9 minutes per day. The new national study of 7,000 African American adults showsthey spend an average of 13 hours and 24 minutes per day exposed to all media. With the internetnow taking 32.5% of their total daily media time, the study underscores how traditional media hasbeen affected by rising internet use among African Americans. In 2005, television represented42.9% of their total daily media exposure while radio captured 31.4%. Today TV has declined to 35.2% and radio to 21.1%.“While media exposure is shifting among African Americans, the group continues to consume media at a higher rate than thetypical U.S. adult,” the Media Audit says. African Americans spend 13 hours and 24 minutes per day exposed to all mediacompared to 11 hours and 33 minutes for the typical U.S. adult. “This represents significant marketing opportunities foradvertisers, as the buying power of African Americans is expected to exceed $1 trillion by 2012,” the report says. Advertiserstargeting African Americans can increase their reach by combining traditional and new media in their campaigns, the MediaAudit suggests. African Americans represent significant buying power in several categories, including automotive, consumerelectronics, fast food and higher education.Strategic shift lowers rank, but Citadel Media chief says they’re on target. It’s not about size, it’s about quality. That’swhat increasingly matters to buyers of network radio inventory according to Citadel Media president John Rosso. Like anyexecutive he’d like to see all his properties at the top of the ranker. But a day after Arbitron released the critical RADAR ratingswhich advertising agencies use to make annual ad buys he’s not particularly worried that Citadel Media’s best-performingnetwork ranks 26th (A25-54). “The average quarterly rankings aren’t that important anymore,” Rosso says. “Back in the day,network radio was about reach. Today that’s not the case. It’s much more important for us to have more-focused, targetednetworks than it is to have giant audience numbers.” In June Citadel Media fine-tuned its network line-up, a reconfigurationthat takes effect on Monday. More changes are coming early next year part of a “long term transition plan” that Rosso deems“very effective” so far. He says they’ve spent the past three months selling it to advertisers and the response has beenpositive. Like Citadel Media, rivals Premiere Radio Networks and Westwood One have also narrowed network targets withmuch of the same reasoning. Across the board, Rosso says, “What’s important is having something that reaches a particulardemographic at a particular time of day.”After walking from Emmis, hedge fund eyes newspaper.

The New York Times notes it would be his second attempt to buy the paper. Earlier thisyear Alden and its financial partners ran into trouble with the Inquirer’s labor unions. Smulyan tells the Times he’s got doubtsabout how committed Smith is to this or any media deal. Smulyan has sued Alden, seeking to recoup tens of millions ofdollars in attorney costs and other fees associated with the aborted buyout.

The 27-year Arbitron vet is promoted to senior VP ofcorporate communications and investor relations, reporting to executive VP of organization effectiveness and corporatecommunications Marilou Legge. Mocarsky’s promotion follows the exit of senior VP of corporate communications DidiBlackwood, who arrived in the spring of 2009 as part of a new management team brought on board under former CEO MichaelSkarzynski. Arbitron is expected to announce a new senior head of press relations soon. The past 16 months have been aroller coaster ride for Mocarsky. In May 2009, he was pushed out the door as senior VP of press and investor relations, aspart of a new, integrated corporate communications plan implemented by then-executive VP/chief marketing officer AltonAdams. Two months later, Mocarsky rejoined the company as VP of investor relations. Now Arbitron unifies press, investorand corporate communications under Mocarsky, who has handled each function — separately or together — at the companybefore. “I’m delighted to be back in this role,” Mocarsky says. “And we wish Didi well.”FCC preps for Auction 91.

VanderbiltUniversity says student interest in WRVU, Nashville, TN (91.1) has waned, with most of its airtime nowoccupied by community programming. Last week, university officials stirred up some waves whenit announced it’s considering selling the FM license, which serves a big chunk of Middle Tennessee,and using the proceeds to endow newer media, including a streaming-only incarnation of WRVU. “Itis time to explore how WRVU could be transformed as well in order to keep pace with the times andanticipate new developments,” VSC board chairman Mark Wollaeger says. If sold, WRVU will joinseveral other high-profile college FMs being spun off to new owners. In Houston, Rice University isin the process of selling its 50-kw FM signal, KTRU (91.7), to the University of Houston’s NPR station,KUHF. Down the road from WRVU, Trevecca Nazarene University announced last month that it’sconsidering an offer to sell its FM signal, WNAZ (89.1). “The mission of WNAZ and the University’sother stations is to support the education of Trevecca students studying the broadcast field. That fieldis rapidly changing to digital broadcasts and Web-based focus,” Trevecca said in its announcement.The university also operates a religious AM station in Nashville, WENO (760).

With aregional footprint of radio and television stations mainly in the Pacific Northwest, FisherCommunications CEO Colleen Brown has set her sights on growing the companydigitally. That’s led Fisher to take on a new role as an online technology and contentprovider. The Seattle-based broadcast group announces plans to begin offering stationsa portfolio of online content built off its morning news program “The Daily Buzz” — a syndicated morning television newsand lifestyle program. Dubbed Buzz Brands, affiliates would get lifestyle-focused online vertical content, localized for eachmarket. For now, Fisher is making Buzz Brands available to the roster of TV stations airing the “Daily Buzz” program. But itplans to begin syndicating to other radio and TV stations in the coming months. Fisher VP of digital content Troy McGuire saysit sees an opportunity to attract stations without a news image. He thinks it will be especially attractive to stations buildingtheir web presence “given the increasing demand for lifestyle news and information.” It’s the latest move for Fisher, which lastyear struck a deal to buy the tech company DataSphere to develop a series of hyper-local sites tied to its properties. Thenearlier his year it began working with Acme Television. Fisher’s certainly not alone in seeing a role as a vendor. EmmisCommunications spun out its Emmis Interactive division to work with other broadcast groups.Fisher sees growing online future in lifestyle verticals. Fisher Communications has been among the biggest proponentsof developing hyper-local websites targeting online consumers down to the neighborhood level. But it’s also begun workingwith content experts to create original broadcast and digital content specifically designed for the lifestyle verticals. The goal isto give stations more website content to sell to advertisers. The video content is being produced at “The Daily Buzz” productionfacilities located on Full Sail University’s Orlando campus. The first vertical slated to launch next month is “GalTime.” It’s abrand committed to women’s lifestyles. It will be showcased with a website makeover for hot AC “Star 101.5” KPLZ, Seattlein the coming weeks. It’s the sort of Buzz Brands content Fisher hopes will turn fellow broadcasters into customers. “Thisinnovative model gives local broadcasters the ability to distribute and monetize content across TV, radio, and newly-createddigital platforms,” SVP of business development Randa Minkarah says. By syndicating a product designed as a lifestyle vertical,Minkarah says it aims to help station affiliates target advertisers to sponsor specific web pages and broadcast segments.Survey shows fewer people get news from radio. For the second time in two weeks new research indicates Americansare turning less to radio for news. A new Rasmussen national telephone survey finds just 9% of adults say radio is the bestway to get news and information. That compares to 44% who are partial to the internet, followed by television, which israted tops by 36% of respondents. The survey finds that while more people are turning to the internet for news, they’re lessconfident about what they read there. Less than one-third (29%) rate it as the most reliable news source. Men and youngpeople lean more toward the web, while women rely more on TV. Four-in ten people saw television as most trustworthy withnewspaper viewed that way by roughly two-in-ten people. Although newspapers are struggling, Rasmussen says six-in-ten(61%) of Americans are confident if a paper goes out of business, other sources will make up the difference. That may bewhy there’s broad opposition to giving government support to the news media. The survey finds 84% reject the idea of atax on monthly cell phone bills to help newspapers and other traditional journalism outlets. The survey of 1,000 adults wasconducted on September 15-16.
