THE MOST TRUSTED NEWS IN RADIO
Auto rebound has Ford reinvesting in media, but it’s not “buying off the shelf.”
The automaker’s seasonally adjusted year-over-year sales rate is up 17%, according
to Ford Motor Media-Team Detroit senior partner and managing director Kevin Brown.
And that’s “good news that will help our marketing and media turnaround,” Brown told
members of the Michigan Association of Broadcasters yesterday. But the company’s
marketing approach has changed over the last few years. “We’re all about consumer
engagement and brand advocacy,” Brown says. That means giving consumers first
hand experiences with its brands so that prospects can then “push out to their own
personal networks.” The goal is to build a “culture” around the product, followed by
endorsements and, ultimately, traditional advertising. It’s the opposite of the old one-tomany paradigm where Ford would start with a big network TV campaign. During his nearly 60-minute chat with 35 Michigan
stations, Brown illustrated the approach with a pair of recent examples. To bring back the Ford Fiesta, which hasn’t existed
in the U.S. for 15 years, it put 100 vehicles into the hands of bloggers and other user-generated content producers so they
could share their experience with their own social networks. “Those people in turn, pushed it out even further,” Brown says.
Within five months, Ford was able to measure 60% awareness of the brand — months before commercially re-introducing
the vehicle in the marketplace. “Social media will play a role in how we market going forward,” Brown says. So will event
marketing, such as a recent Drive One For Your School campaign. Working with high schools, Ford staged 800 test drive events
where it donated $20 per test drive to school booster clubs to help under-funded school activities. The campaign generated
close to 120,000 test drives. Such events represent a “huge opportunity for local radio and TV stations getting their on-air
personalities involved,” Brown says. He also suggested that the distinction between traditional and digital media needs to be
“erased — all of this is audience-driven media.” His advice to sellers: Forget “off the shelf ad packages. If you can customize
a program that meets the strategic needs of the product, your opportunity to make the sale greatly increases.”
CBS plans integrated local portals. CBS is in the middle of a quest to find ways to integrate its local radio and television
stations. That’s meant leveraging content across both mediums. A combined sales strategy is also in development. By early
fall the effort will make its way to the digital space. CBS Local Digital Media president Ezra Kucharz says they’ll launch new
websites integrating content from both platforms. He told yesterday’s SNL Kagan Summit those sites will include a local
directory component. “We’re trying to satisfy consumer needs and demands in a local market — that’s not just television or
radio,” Kucharz said. He notes in most markets local directory companies have traditionally had a large share of revenue. But
much of that’s moving online. SNL Kagan estimates CBS had $600 million in digital revenue last year. While Kucharz won’t
confirm that figure, he says 2010 pacings are positive. “We’re having a good year. So far the first half of this year has been
exciting.” CBS Radio is one of a handful of radio companies to offer an iPad application. It also streams to smartphones. But
Kucharz says mobile monetization hasn’t caught up with growing usage. “We’re pushing out a lot of content and for the time
being it’s an ad-supported model. But the money’s not there yet,” he says. So Kucharz believes for CBS to be successful its
content cannot be completely disassociated from the station. He says, “I don’t think we’re going to a website-less world.”
What will Lew Dickey buy? You might be surprised. With as much as $1 billion of capital to spend, a lot of unexpected
doors can open for a buyer. That’s the situation Cumulus CEO Lew Dickey is in, but he’s in no rush. “We’ve had some
things come out of the woodwork that we hadn’t even thought of,” Dickey says. He’s not disclosing what those possibilities
are, but told yesterday’s SNL Kagan Summit crowd it is “pretty attractive stuff.” Two months ago Dickey and the private equity
MORE NEWS >> InsideRadio.com

firm Crestview Partners announced a partnership to invest hundreds of millions in adding assets to what will be known as
Cumulus Radio Investors. Cumulus Media and its private arm Cumulus Media Partners own stations in big cities and small
markets, leaving room to add mid-market clusters. Swaps are also under consideration. What sellers are after and what
buyers want to pay remains pretty far apart, and Dickey says that will probably mean he won’t be spending any of that money
soon. He says it could be another three or four months before a deal gets done, perhaps longer. “Anyone that has to sell
has sold. Anybody who’s looking to sell won’t sell off the bottom, which was in 2009,” he says. With some nervousness in
the air about second half revenues, it’s possible buyers will wait to see where 2011 revenue is heading before getting out
their checkbook — Dickey included. “If we have to wait until 2012, it’s not that big of deal. We have plenty to keep us busy.” The last time Cumulus Media bought anything was in 2002.
Investors are interested in radio, but parting with cash remains the challenge. Radio revenue has returned to growth,
but to bankers and lenders broadcasting investments remains an iffy proposition. Wells Fargo Securities analyst Bishop
Cheen says, “While they have rebounded nicely, they are still perceived as a high risk.” A new wave of expected restructurings
or even bankruptcy filings is doing little to ease those fears. As a result, Sugarloaf Rock Capital managing partner Drew
Marcus says, “Radio is still largely being ignored by the debt and equity markets.” He says it’s difficult to get any financing
when an owner’s debt ratio is greater than the value of the assets. “Higher leverage is extremely difficult,” BMO Capital
managing director Lee Westerfield says. “BMO Capital and other banks remain interested in radio and television; however
our tolerance to overall leverage is less than in the past.” Marcus says there is some good news since that gap is closing
and getting back to more traditional levels. The average radio group debt leverage has fallen from about nine-times a year
ago to seven-times today. Marcus says, “We’re getting back to the point where value is creating leverage. When that occurs,
we’ll start seeing the [deal] market coming back.” UBS Securities broadcast banking head Chris Ripley says a number of
private equity firms with radio experience are circling. Waller Capital Partners managing director Michael McHugh agrees,
noting private equity firms have raised hundreds of millions of dollars over the last two years but have held onto it looking
for places to spend. He predicts, “They will be the main provider of equity capital. I don’t think we will see a lot of radio and
TV companies going public.”
Also from SNL Kagan Radio and TV Finance Summit —
Pandora’s great, but consumers like push media. The introduction of Pandora into the dashboard has already begun with
Ford’s Sync entertainment system rolling out later this year. But Cumulus CEO Lew Dickey says radio’s faced “pull” content
in the car for years — from 8-track, to cassettes, CDs, satellite radio and now iPods and Pandora. “Consumers want push
content and local connectivity and that’s what they get from radio,” he says. Outside the car, cell phone companies’ new
pricing plans also help radio by charging people based on the amount of data they use. “The heavy users of Pandora are
going to need to take a second mortgage on their house to pay for Pandora,” he joked.
No Clear Channel fire sale. Media Venture Partners managing director Eliot Evers says Clear Channel is holding “very
firm” on how much it wants for the stations in the Aloha Trust. He says the company’s not taking any offer for less than tentimes cash flow, which is more than what the market’s currently supporting, dragging out the process. MVP has been hired
by Clear Channel to sell the Aloha Trust stations.
Is PPM leading to bad decisions? Citadel CEO Farid Suleman thinks that could be case. He says, “PPM is forcing you to
move toward music intensive formats and if you go too far you’re going to hurt your business.” That’s because listeners want
radio to be engaging. Not a jukebox. Inner City Broadcasting vice chair Skip Finley hit Arbitron for not spending enough to
educate advertisers and ad agencies about PPM. He says flagship WBLS, New York is still seeing revenue declines partly
due to PPM. But NextMedia CEO Steve Dinetz thinks PPM finally rewards performance not promotion. “It’s no longer the
guy with the biggest television budget that gets the best ratings — it the guy who puts on the best show,” Dinetz says.

Radio One refinances its debt — and takes controlling stake in cable net TV One. In
the latest sign lenders haven’t lost their taste for media companies, Radio One announces it’s
refinanced its debt. Deutsche Bank will be the lead on a new $350 million term loan that will
allow Radio One to exchange loans that were set to come due in 2011 and 2013. The new
loans wouldn’t mature until 2016 and 2017. The refinancing comes at a price. Radio One
will pay a higher interest rate and it could pay up to $7 million in various fees. Yet there are
benefits, too. The new debt structure also rolls in a strategic acquisition — $82 million is earmarked to buy an additional 19%
stake in TV One, which will give CEO Alfred Liggins a controlling 56% share of the African American-targeted cable network.
TV One launched three years ago as a joint venture among Radio One, Comcast and four investment firms: Bear Stearns’
Constellation Ventures, Syndicated Communications, Pacesetter Capital Group and Opportunity Capital Partners. Under
an agreement signed late last month, Comcast agreed to allow Radio One to exercise its right to take control of TV One. In
addition to the $350 million in new financing, Radio One will also have a new $50 million revolving credit facility — essentially
a corporate credit card to buy anything else that appears on the radar. Over the last two years, Liggins has mainly focused
acquisitions in the digital space where the company has added to its Interactive One division.
RIAA cuts lobbying bill. With prospects for a royalty bill increasingly dim, the Recording Industry Association of America
may be conserving resources for a renewed push in January when a new Congress arrives in Washington. According to
disclosure statements filed with the House clerk’s office, the RIAA cut lobbying spending in the first three months of the year
to $1.36 million. That’s down from the $1.38 million spent in the previous quarter. At yesterday’s SNL Kagan Radio and TV
Finance Summit, Cumulus CEO Lew Dickey said he believes the chances are now “extremely remote” that any royalty bill will
pass this year. “The winds are blowing dramatically away from that,” he said. A threatened hold on a military appropriations
bill by Senator Ben Nelson (D-ND) was apparently enough to prevent an attempt to attach it to a must-pass bill. Dickey says
the November election will also prove critical. “If the House changes control, it’s completely toast,” he predicted. Broadcast
lobbyists however think it’s a good bet royalty supporters will try again next year.
For the first time in 16 years, WCBS-FM rules the New York ratings roost. Climbing 5.7-6.3 in the May PPM monthly,
the CBS Radio classic hits station unseated Clear Channel AC “Lite” WLTW (106.7), which slipped to second (6.8-6.1) after
controlling the pole position since December 2008. Only one other station has made it to the top since PPM touched down in
New York in September 2008: Clear Channel CHR “Z100” WHTZ. The red hot Yankees helped propel news WCBS to fourth
(4.6-4.8) while the Mets kept sports sister WFAN at a 3.5, its best since June 2009. Meanwhile, the hot streak for top-rated
L.A. Clear Channel CHR KIIS-FM continues. A 5.8-6.1 move positions KIIS-FM higher than it’s been since Holiday 2008.
Across town, a revamped music and talent combination continues to pay dividends for “The Wave” KTWV, which crested to a
fifth place 3.3-3.8 finish, its best of the PPM era. In Chicago, WBBM (5.4-5.7) reclaims its lead from WGN (6.3-5.6). In Dallas,
a fourth consecutive uptick puts CBS Radio classic hits KLUV at a PPM high water mark of 5.3 to rank third. Elsewhere in the
Big D, Citadel news/talk WBAP (820/96.7) advances not only to fourth place (3.9-4.5-4.9) but a station PPM ratings record. In
Atlanta, Radio One’s “Praise” WPZE moves from a third place tie to second (5.8-6.2). In Washington, Bonneville news dynasty
WTOP-FM remains unchallenged at the top. But American University’s Bluegrass Country HD side channel made some news
of its own. With a 0.1 share, it claims to be only the second HD station to show up in a PPM monthly. Broadcasting at 88.5
HD2 and via translator at 105.5 FM, the station recently received authorization for an HD power boost from the FCC.
Regional Mexican on a PPM ratings roll in San Francisco, Dallas and Houston. While news KCBS continues as
San Francisco’s new ratings leader (5.8-6.1-6.3), the Bay Area’s biggest ratings story of 2010 may be the steady creep of
Univision’s “Estero Sol” KSOL (98.9), which now sits at fifth with a 4.0, up nearly a full share since the Holiday book for its
highest PPM share yet. Regional Mexican is also surging in Dallas, where “94.1 La Que Buena” KLNO advances 4.3-5.5-5.6
for its best since February 2009. The Univision station is second only to Clear Channel CHR KHKS, which is also trending

up (5.7-6.1-6.5). And while it crested in Houston in January at a 5.9, Univision’s “Estereo Latino 102.9” KLTN repeated that
performance again in May — that’s 1.6 shares higher than the station was one year ago. In Chicago, the format has slipped
over the past two months from its March peek. However Univision’s “Que Buena 105.1” WOJO is tied for second place in
25-54 in May. Get complete Arbitron ratings at www.stationratings.com.
FCC to conduct nine field studies as it charts where to take media rules. The FCC has given a hint to where it may
take the quadrennial ownership review. It’s put out a request for nine empirical studies it would like to have done by an
independent firm. The studies include looking at ways consumers use radio and television, and how they fit into the local
market. The FCC will also commission surveys to measure consumer satisfaction with media content, including news and
public affairs programming. The studies will also look at how much news is being put on station websites. In what appears
to be a poke at the predominance of conservative talk radio, the FCC is also commissioning a report to assess the range of
viewpoints provided — and what incentives owners have to supply a range of viewpoints. Once the reports are submitted
to the FCC, they’ll be released to the public for review and comments. They’ll also be used as building blocks as the Media
Bureau makes decisions on what ownership rules it proposes to change. FCC chairman Julius Genachowski has said he’d
like to complete the media ownership review proceeding by year’s end, but that timetable is looking increasingly optimistic.
Insiders say the Comcast-NBC merger and TV spectrum issues have become higher priorities for the Media Bureau. They
tell Inside Radio it’s now likely the ownership review won’t be wrapped-up until early next year.
Clear Channel hooks Dolphins for two more markets. The NFL franchise has been reassessing its media strategy over
the past year, leading the Dolphins to flip its flagship. When the pre-season begins in August, games will be heard on Clear
Channel’s “Big 105.9” WBGG and “The Sports Animal” WINZ (940) through the 2015 NFL season. Dolphins play-by-play had
been heard on Beasley’s “Sportsradio 560” WQAM. The team has just signed another multi-year deal with Clear Channel to air
Dolphins games in English on talk “Real Radio” WZZR (94.3) and “Newsradio 1290” WJNO in West Palm Beach as well as the
“Real Radio” simulcast WCZR (101.7) in Ft. Pierce-Vero Beach. Clear Channel will also air Spanish-language play-by-play
on Spanish CHR “Mia 92.1” WRLX, West Palm Beach. “When you are presented with these types of prized opportunities, you
jump at the chance to take it off the table,” Clear Channel VP John Hunt says. Under the terms of the contract, Clear Channel
clusters in both West Palm and Ft. Pierce will give “significant” promotional support to the team. Dolphins SVP of corporate
sponsorships and integrated media Jim Rushton says, “It is important for us to broadcast our game day programming on AM
and FM signals to reach more of our fans throughout the state.” The deal also extends the team’s commitment to broadcast
games in Spanish throughout South Florida. Clear Channel will not only sell Dolphins locally, but it created the Dolphins
Integrated Media Group to sell radio spot inventory on the Miami Dolphins Radio Network.

Wikipedia, Yahoo Answers,
Foursquare… and Radio
Thursday, June 17, 2010
Page content provided by
Triton Media Group
What does Wikipedia, Yahoo Answers, and Foursquare all have in common?
Crowdsourcing. Taking contributions from the crowd is a critical part of their success.
Radio has always involved the listeners in its programming, but it has always been
indirect when it comes to music. Requests, dedications, and other direct input has always been filtered through
the programming department filter…
+ But what if you were to take away that filter and merge the radio experience like what users experience
when editing Wikipedia or answering questions in Yahoo Answers? Well, now they can with the Jelli show and
platform. Triton is hosting a detailed look at exactly what Jelli is and how radio can embrace the crowdsourcing
concept via a webinar. You can find out more here.
Ratings Credibility
One of the most important things happening in the digital radio space is getting very little attention — the
MRC accreditation of Ando’s Webmetrics ratings. This accreditation—currently well on its way — will give
streaming audio the credibility with advertising agencies and marketing departments missing in many
media destinations today…
+ The combination of streaming and accredited metrics are a key part of driving additional revenue through
digital audio for radio. If you want more insight, contact Triton about what Ando Media Group’s Webmetrics, ad
insertion, and streaming solutions can do to get you into this growing revenue category.
Herding Cats
One of the difficult things for radio groups is managing all elements of their website across multiple groups—
the individual station, the local cluster, regionally, and nationally. Ideally, a radio group should be able to easily
create a flow of content that allows all of these groups work together while maintaining the integrity of the
single station site…
+ Triton looked at this problem and spent all of 2009 creating Flex, a website management system designed
to allow you to manage sites and their content exactly how you would want them to be managed. Content can
flow where you want it to flow, and sites can be open or closed depending on the expertise level of the local
market and your ability to monetize locally and nationally. Of course, such a tool should be simple, and Flex is
that, too.
Music Discovery From The Source
Despite the plethora of ways that music can be found today, “heard on the radio” and “heard from friend who heard
on the radio” still dominate how people discover music. Radio, however, is losing ground thanks to the ability of
listeners utilize deep search and browsing of the web. If only radio could build off their airplay and facilitate deep
music discovery from the source. Well, it can, and the Tunegenie platform powers this. Taking your on-air playlist
and allowing it to be browsed and examined on the web is one of the more powerful things you can do right now to
make your site and station more relevant.
