    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Ando Media, LLC 617-801-2636 [email protected] www.andomedia.com ANDO MEDIA RELEASES OCTOBER INTERNET AUDIO TOP 20 RANKER Boston – November 17, 2009 – Ando Media has released its monthly Internet Audio Top 20 Ranker for October. The Ranker is a listing of the top-performing Internet audio stations and networks measured by the Webcast Metrics® audience measurement platform. Webcast Metrics uses a proprietary platform to track audience data and convert it to audience metrics that can be easily understood by stations, publishers and advertisers. Audience rankings are done on the basis of “Session Starts,” “Average Active Sessions” and “Average Time Spent Listening.” Session Starts (SS) is defined as, “The number of streams of one minute or more that are started within a time period.” Average Active Sessions (AAS) is defined as, “The average number of streams of one minute or more that are active within a time period.” Average Time Spent Listening (ATSL) is defined as, “The average number of hours for each session lasting more than one minute within a time period.” Rankers are divided into “Domestic” and “All Streams.” The “Domestic” Ranker quantifies listening done inside the U.S. based on log-based information provided by the station. The “All Streams” Ranker merely verifies the quantity of streams without qualifying where they are being consumed. “We have not taken any metrics out of our applications; publishers will be able to choose whether or not to continue to display AQH/CUME in their console and present these figures to advertisers,” said Ando Chief Operating Officer, Paul Krasinski.

As federal regulations of those stations loosen and fewer owners increase their holdings across the country, however, local community needs are subjugated by corporate fiduciary responsibilities. Business practices reveal rampant consolidation of ownership, newsroom job description convergence, skilled human labor replaced by computer automation, and economically-driven downsizings, all in the name of profit.

Six months after Saga Communications became the first group to drop ad insertion on its internet streams and convert to a full simulcast of its on-air product, a growing number of radio groups have taken a similar course — at least with some of their portfolio. For some broadcasters the issue isn’t how little web radio sales have amounted to, but rather how much more they estimate they can make with higher ratings from a full simulcast. Liberman Broadcasting and JVC Media are the latest groups to flip their webcasts to a full simulcast of their broadcast product. “It is something we just could not monetize to a level that made sense for us,” JVC president John Caracciolo says. He explains that local advertisers say they want a “4D” experience that not only speaks to the consumer, but also “touches and interacts” with them. “Rather than separate our mediums, we have them work together to give our clients that multi-platform ‘reach out and touch someone’ package,” Caracciolo says. Several other groups have begun testing simulcasting some of their signals online, while keeping ad replacement in place for other stations. The list includes Merlin Media, Broadcast Company of the Americas, Yucaipa, and Royce International, according to “total line” simulcast data submitted to Arbitron. Saga EVP Warren Lada has been championing the idea.
