The radio industry posted its best digital growth in two years during the second quarter, delivering not only the channel’s largest revenue quarter but also its best first half since the segment has been reported. The Radio Advertising Bureau says digital revenue jumped 16% to $222 million, besting the previous high-water mark set at the end of last year by 8%. “If people still don’t think digital is real, it is and it continues to be radio’s fastest-growing sector,” RAB president Erica Farber says. She points to a growing body of research that shows listeners are increasingly using the web to connect with radio on smartphones and other mobile devices. “As we’re seeing that change of how people are consuming the product, the digital assets are financially growing hand-in-hand,” Farber says. Digital represented 5% of second quarter revenue and a similar portion of first half billings with year-to-date digital revenue totaling $401 million. Because there’s not yet a standard reporting method for desktop, mobile, audio, display or text, it’s not yet possible to say which part of digital is steering the increases. Revenue repeat as RAB reports another flat second quarter. While digital billings are racing along, the pace of spot business has been a lot tougher to read so far in 2013. “The months still aren’t consistent because a month will go up and a month will go down. It’s really just all over the board,” RAB president Erica Farber says. “But even with all of this, I think we should be thankful that it turned out flat.” The RAB says total second quarter revenue was $4.7 billion, on par with 2012. Spot revenue, including both local and national sales, was also flat. It totaled $3.7 billion or 80% of industry revenue for the quarter. With a dispute about revenue reporting among the radio networks apparently resolved, network operators have again agreed to disclose their quarterly sales figures. “Now we can get our arms around all the money coming into broadcast, which helps us with our story,” Farber says. For the second quarter and the first half, network business was off 4% compared to last year. Like spot sales, off-air/non-traditional revenue was flat in the second quarter but up 2% in the first half. Off-air remains roughly twice the size of digital, although that gap continues to close. Showing just how erratic an ad environment salespeople are working in, seven of radio’s top 10 advertisers increased their budgets in second quarter, while seven of the top 10 ad categories posted year-over-year declines. The RAB data is based on a pool of more than 100 markets as reported by the accounting firm of Miller Kaplan Arase and extrapolated to the entire U.S. Cellular is the radio comeback story of 2013, displacing auto as radio’s top ad category. AT&T was the radio industry’s biggest advertiser during the April-June period, pushing Comcast out of the top spot that it held a quarter earlier. The RAB reports four of the industry’s top 10 advertisers were wireless carriers. T-Mobile moved from No. 6 in first quarter to No. 3, ahead of McDonald’s. Verizon Wireless went from No. 10 to No. 5. Sprint came in at No. 8. Three of the four hiked their radio spending double-digits while one — Sprint — upped its commitment by 153%. For a category that was all but off radio two years ago, the RAB says cellular spending overall was up 27% during second quarter. Automotive ad spending has slowed a bit this year, although it remains one of the most important categories for radio. Professional news INSIDE >> services, such as cleaning services and hair salons, remain one of radio’s fastest-growing categories, up another 28% during the quarter. ServiceMaster Clean swept up with a 714% >>Why Sprint picked year-to-year increase in its radio budget. RAB president Erica Farber says she’s particularly HTC One for FM buoyed by the department-discount store category, which posted a 33% increase in Q2. It’s a MORE NEWS >> INSIDERADIO.COM PAGE 1 NEWS Monday, August 19, 2013 category that typically performs best for radio later in the year, especially during the holiday retail season. “One of the great things about radio is that not only are we closest to purchase time, but we bring people right into the store,” Farber says. Digital mechanic may be required to tune-up radio’s auto category. Many radio groups have said automotive ad buys have been all over the road this year. The latest RAB numbers reflect that. Auto spending fell 11% during the second quarter, and the category slipped to No. 2 for the industry. The quarter’s bright spot drove in behind the wheel of a Ford. The automaker increased its radio spending 70% while the Ford Dealers Association, already the No. 1 auto spender, hiked its budget another 18% compared to last year. But there were declines among General Motors, Toyota and Chrysler and RAB president Erica Farber says it’s becoming increasingly clear that radio needs to accelerate its digital positioning to carmakers and dealers who are shifting budgets online. “The big issue for auto is digital. They’re looking at how consumers are going online to do their research. But we have a great opportunity to show them how radio absolutely supports that behavior,” she says. Farber says research has shown how well radio and digital can work in tandem, with radio driving listeners to websites. “So far radio has a great story that we need to be consistently telling locally and nationally to the automotive industry,” she says. The revenue data shows tier one manufacturers have made the biggest adjustments to their buying strategies, giving radio a brief window to get that message to hometown auto dealers. “Local automotive dealers know radio works,” Farber says. “And on the national and regional basis it’s how do we continue to show to them that we are moving the needle for them.” Why Sprint chose the HTC One to begin its NextRadio rollout. Sprint says the NextRadio app will become “a prevalent feature” across its smartphone portfolio in the coming months and into 2014. The launch began Friday with two HTC devices — the recently launched HTC One and the older HTC Evo 4G LTE — because the handset manufacturer was rolling out a new color for the HTC One on Friday and the timing worked. “It’s an evolution,” Sprint VP of product management and logistics David Owens tells Inside Radio. “You have to start somewhere. HTC has done a really good job and the red color for the One was launching at the right time.” Owens calls the phone “an iconic device in our lineup” that’s doing well in the marketplace. “Many consider the HTC One to be one of the top phones in the industry,” he says. Owens says Sprint is very pleased with the work done by the National Association of Broadcasters and Emmis Communications on building the NextRadio app, which allows consumers to receive over-the-air FM radio broadcasts and interact with stations, personalities and advertised products through an IP back channel. “We see the good and the bad of apps all the time and this is a really great application,” Owens says. He believes it will make it easier for consumers to listen to FM radio. Outside of the car, “it’s not simple for them today because they’re not in a position where they’ve got a radio that’s easily accessible to them,” he says. “But their mobile device is always accessible.” Owens believes NextRado’s benefits go beyond mere convenience. “It’s one of those things that are good from a safety perspective,” he says. “From a governmental perspective, I’m sure they’re pretty happy that a carrier has jumped in and supported the FM radio and broadcast communities.” NAB’s Gordon Smith still hopes for royalty deal all can live with. A performance royalty bill is waiting in the wings for when Congress returns from its August recess. National Association of Broadcasters president Gordon Smith, who still calls it a “tax” on stations, says he realizes what works for FM/AM broadcasters isn’t working for musicians. “But if you provide a rate that destroys local radio, that is a bad thing. We can’t stand idly by for that,” he said during an interview on C-Span. Increasingly webcasters are facing similar issues, and while the music industry is pushing for more in royalties from pureplays like Pandora, Smith said webcasters already face an unsustainable business model. “Hopefully the day will arrive when both the digital and terrestrial platform can come up with a model that actually grows music,” he said. Rep. Mel Watt (N-NC) had pledged to introduce a new radio performance royalty bill before lawmakers left town for their five-week summer break. That didn’t happen, but Capitol Hill staffers tell Inside Radio that Watt is still working on the language of the legislation and adding more cosponsors. Smith suggested direct deals between broadcasters like Clear Channel, Entercom and Beasley MORE NEWS >> INSIDERADIO.COM PAGE 2 NEWS Monday, August 19, 2013 Broadcast Group with record labels and artists could be the solution for the industries. “A market is starting to develop,” he said. Resolutions in the House and Senate opposing a fee have added the support of 13 House members, bringing the total to 152 who’ve come out against a radio royalty. Eleven Senators are also on record opposing a performance royalty for FM/ AM radio. Smith: New FCC chief knows NAB’s political pull in Washington. The National Association of Broadcasters is on record supporting the pick of Tom Wheeler to lead the Federal Communications Commission. But his background at two other trade associations in Washington has some wondering whether Wheeler will be more foe than friend. He headed up the wireless and cable television industry trade groups, neither of which has had particularly cozy relationships with broadcasters in recent years. “On the surface there’s reason to be concerned,” NAB president Gordon Smith said. “But I’m not worried because what I know of Tom Wheeler is he’s a smart guy and he understands the duty that trade associations have to represent their members.” In an interview with C-Span, Smith said as someone who ran a trade group, succeeded in business, and has a good understanding of politics, he’s pretty sure Wheeler will be familiar with the NAB. “He’ll know the heft we have in this town and hopefully he’ll work with us in a way that makes him successful,” Smith said. Smith also disclosed that Wheeler’s wife, Carol, used to work as a vice president of government affairs at the NAB, joking, “Hopefully there’s some residual allegiance there.” As a two-term senator who sat on the pivotal Commerce Committee himself, Smith said until Republican nominee Michael O’Reilly gets through the confirmation process, anything but a final vote on both nominees is unlikely. “That’s just the way it works there and I can’t imagine that changing,” he says. “Sometime this fall, hopefully before Christmas, we’ll have a fully staffed Commission.” AM and wireless towers are more often neighbors, so the FCC adopts new rules. Federal Communications Commission acting chair Mignon Clyburn is making good on her promise to continue to get work done while the agency is down to three commissioners. The latest decision may not be as flashy as indecency, but the FCC says it’s one that “harmonizes and streamlines” rules about tower construction near AM stations — a growing issue in the cellular world. First, the Commission is creating a single protection scheme for tower construction and modification near AM tower arrays. It’s also designating “moment method” computer modeling as the principal way of determining whether a nearby tower impacts or distorts an AM station’s radiation pattern. It replaces the more time-consuming and expensive traditional direct measurement procedures for modeling directional AM field strength. As more and more wireless towers dot the landscape, AM signal disruption has become a growing issue for radio engineers. The FCC calls the changes a “significant step forward” in its “modernization” effort, acknowledging the agency lags how radio engineers are now doing their jobs. The changes adopted were largely crafted by the AM Directional Antenna Performance Verification Coalition, a group of two dozen broadcasters, as well as equipment manufacturers and consulting engineers. The wireless tower industry also largely backed the changes. They’ll now need to give an AM station a 30-day notice before they build a new tower. Broadcasters will have two years to notify the FCC if a wireless tower is distorting their AM’s signal. The FCC rejected proposals to limit the notification window, saying “a time limit of less than two years will not allow an AM station licensee sufficient time to ascertain that its pattern has been adversely affected, identify the source of the pattern disruption, and prepare and submit an adverse impact showing.” While some broadcasters asked the FCC to apply the new rules to any tower put atop a building, the commissioners opted to limit it to only the tallest buildings.

If nothing else, Cox Media Group remained on message as it used the word “denies” 73 times in its response to a lawsuit brought by former Birmingham market manager Dave DuBose. He claims he’s owed more than $300,000 for a retention bonus and work he did on signal upgrades at Cox stations. But in a 21-page response, Cox says it’s DuBose who owes money to the company for an ill-fated sports radio shake-up in the market. The MORE NEWS >> INSIDERADIO.COM PAGE 3 NEWS Monday, August 19, 2013 filing says each Cox manager was offered the opportunity to earn a “special retention bonus” if they remained on the job while five clusters were sold to Summit Media and the stations hit certain revenue targets. It says DuBose “did not satisfy the conditions” of that offer so he wasn’t paid any bonus. But Cox doesn’t stop there, claiming that during the sale process no “significant decisions” could be made without approval of VP of revenue Paul Curran. Cox argues that DuBose violated that directive when, without corporate permission, he hired Cumulus Media “Jox-FM” WJOX-FM & AM (94.5, 690) program director Ryan Haney. Cox says the move was designed to attract star talk host Paul Finebaum to follow him across the street to “ESPN 97.3 The Zone” WZNN. But Cox hadn’t yet decided whether it wanted to pursue Finebaum. “DuBose’s employment of Haney was solely for DuBose’s own and Summit’s benefit,” it claims. Cumulus quickly went to court seeking to enforce its non-compete with Haney, all the while Cox bosses were finding out what was happening in Birmingham through press reports. Making matters worse, from Cox’s standpoint, Haney’s contract said his new employer would have to pick up his legal tab. The case was settled and Cox says it faced “substantial” legal bills and had to make payments to both Cumulus and Haney, who ultimately returned to WJOX-FM. Outraged, Cox EVP Neil Johnston decided to fire DuBose. When he called Summit Media CEO Carl Parmer to let him know, Parmer convinced him not to go through with the plan. In the middle of all this Cox agreed to sell the five market clusters to Summit for $66.25 million. DuBose also suggested he was shortchanged for his work on signal upgrades after former Cox Radio Group CEO Bob Neil calculated the signal improvements helped raise the value of the division by $200 million. But Cox says it paid him $50,000 for his work and it never agreed to compensate DuBose based on how much it raised the value of its stations. Inside Radio News Ticker…Listeners notice Pandora ads…Three-quarters (77%) of Pandora users say they’re aware the streaming service runs commercials. Two-thirds (68%) know all too well that there are pop-ads too. That’s according to an Ipsos Media survey of 18-49 year olds conducted in July. No data was released on other streaming services. Pandora says it’s not ramping up its inventory loads, just selling more of the available inventory…End of ‘The End’ in Salt Lake… Cumulus Media has flipped adult alternative “101.9 The End” KENZ, Salt Lake City to “Classic Hits 101.9.” Cumulus is making a headon format challenge to Bonneville’s “103.5 The Arrow” KRSP-FM, which had a 4.7 share (6+) in the July Arbitron ratings. The move leaves the adult alternative format to Clear Channel’s “My 99.5” which airs on a translator and the HD2 channel of KJMY. It scored a 0.3 in the latest ratings. It is actually a second death for “The End” which went off the air in April 2010 for the ‘90s-based GenX format. But Cumulus recaptured the triple A position eight months later. “They did it again,” longtime morning personality Jimmy Chunga told listeners Friday on Facebook…SAG-AFTRA elects leaders…Radio’s biggest labor union, SAG-AFTRA, will keep its current leadership for another two years.

Longtime Atlanta morning personality Frank Ski will today announce details of his return to radio. “Celebrating the signing of my new radio contract,” Ski said on Twitter over the weekend. Ski left CBS Radio’s urban “V-103” WVEE after 14 years at the end of 2012, reportedly because he wanted to seek out a syndication deal. Ski most recently did what was described as an on-air tryout in PM drive at Howard University’s urban AC WHUR, Washington (96.3) in April after Michael Baisden’s timeslot opened up. The station has still not filled the time slot. “Free” ends up costing New Mexico Public Radio. The University of New Mexico will pay what amounts to a $7,500 fine and step up training at its five stations under an agreement with the FCC to settle alleged violations of underwriting limits. The consent decree requires UNM to agree to a three-year compliance plan that requires it to set up a training program for station staff. UNM will also have a compliance officer in place to review underwriting practices and write a manual for staff to follow. And UNM will file compliance reports with the FCC through 2016. “We find that the public interest would be served by adopting the Consent Decree and terminating the investigation,” Enforcement Bureau acting chief Robert Ratcliffe concludes. MORE NEWS >> INSIDERADIO.COM PAGE 4 NEWS Monday, August 19, 2013 The case was based on a December 2008 complaint that alleged KUNM, Albuquerque, NM and its four repeater stations around the state aired an underwriting announcement that included the word “free.” The FCC concludes that “appears to exceed the bounds of what is permissible” under its rules that specifically say underwriting mentions cannot include calls to action, or inducements to buy. Firefighters sound the alarm after a pirate FM becomes its neighbor. The Boston suburb of Brockton, MA has become a hotbed of pirate stations targeting the community’s Haitian population. As Inside Radio first reported last winter, by one estimate as many as 10 have been on the air at once. The Brockton Fire Department says one upstart pirate was interfering with emergency radio reception. The signal blasting at 88.9 FM was so strong it was pumping music out of the loud speakers at the fire station meant to alert firefighters of incoming calls. Firefighters called the city’s police department last week, which showed up with a frequency finder and traced back the signal to the pirate operation. They didn’t need to go far. They found a satellite dish and an unlicensed 60-foot FM antenna across the street from the fire house. Cops used wire cutters to silence the station. “They got the hint that we meant business” officer Scott Uhlman tells the Brockton Enterprise. The next day the transmitter and antenna were gone. But it’s a good bet the pirates are relocating to a less conspicuous location. It’s not just fire radios — police say the pirate was probably also interfering with Emerson College’s WERS (88.9). Earlier this year federal agents shut down another Brockton pirate. That station was causing interference to one of the primary channels used by the Federal Aviation Administration to communicate with pilots. St. Louis classical upstart makes it official with deal to buy FM signal. When “Classic 99” KFUO was sold in 2009 and flipped to a contemporary Christian format, it left St. Louis without a fulltime classical music outlet for the first time in 50 years. The format returned last summer on an HD2 station. It has since returned to the FM dial thanks to a $110,000 deal for a Missouri River Christian Broadcasting-owned translator. The Radio Arts Foundation — or RAF — has filed to buy the translator K297BI at 107.3 FM, a signal it has been using since April. That’s allowed the classical format to relay off of the HD2 channel it leases from Emmis classic hits “K-Hits 96.3” KIHT. What’s now branded “RAF STL” still has access to the old KFUO library, but classical WRR, Dallas also shared 7,000 musical tracks with the upstart. While a local staff has been hired, RAF is also using the WFMT Radio Network. Inside Radio Deal Digest — Winston-Salem, NC — Curtis Media Group has struck a $150,000 deal to buy the Mocksville, NC-licensed translator W267AM at 101.3 FM. Seller Triad Family Network has already obtained a construction permit to boost the power to 250-watts and move the signal into the Greensboro-Winston-Salem-High Point, NC market. Curtis Media plans to simulcast talk WSJS (600) on the translator. Broker: Bob Heymann, Media Services Group Sarasota-Bradenton, FL — Meryl Heinemeyer’s Southwest Florida Radio Broadcasting files to buy “The Sports Fanatic” WTMY (1280) from Walter Kotaba’s Polnet Communications for $75,000. It’s a first station for Heinemeyer. Minnesota — Quarnstrom Stations has filed a $75,000 deal to buy an FM translator for country WBHA (1190) in the Rochester, MN area. It’ll pick up the Alma, WI-licensed translator W206BA at 89.1 FM. Since that’s a noncommercial frequency, seller Faith Sound has applied to relocate the translator to Wabasha, MN at 99.7 FM off the tower site used by Alan Quarnstrom’s “Bluff Country 1250” KCUE, Red Wing, MN. Morgantown, WV — AJG Broadcasting has filed to buy rock WCLG-FM (100.1) and “Classic Hits 13” WCLG from Bowers Broadcasting for $1.8 million. Linda Bowers last week sought control of the pair from the estate of her late husband Garry Bowers, and that transfer will first need to be approved by the FCC. The West Virginia Gazette says the transfer to AJC may face a more thorough review due to the business connections it has with West Virginia Radio Corp., which already owns seven stations in the market. But the FCC has already allowed AJC to buy country WKKW (97.9) and classic hits WFGM-FM (93.1) in the market, so those issues may have already been resolved in the eyes of the Media Bureau. — Read More News, People Moves, Ratings and Job Listings at www.InsideRadio.com — MORE NEWS >> INSIDERADIO.COM PAGE 5 THE BLUE PAGE LARGE MARKET QUALITY.
