Road To CRS: Power Panels CRS 2015 kicks off Wednesday (2/25) in Nashville and Country Aircheck spoke to board President Charlie Morgan and others about what’s new and notable. For starters, the event opens Wednesday afternoon rather than in the morning, and is not preceded by the Country Radio Hall of Fame event typically held Tuesday. That’s been moved to June. Morgan attributes the changes to hotel availability, and views the results as positive. “It’s just like in radio when you have limited time and have to edit,” he explains. “It’s tightened things up to where the best has Charlie Morgan remained on the schedule.” Seeing Stars: In addition to the keynote from entrepreneur and philanthropist Todd Wagner as covered in last week’s Country Aircheck Weekly (2/18), Morgan is particularly excited about this year’s artist panels. “How Three Become One: Lady An- tebellum” and “Keith Urban: Being Present” happen Thursday and Friday, respectively. “They’re megastars in our format,” he says. Old Boots: Randy Owen (l) joins onstage “The Lady A panel is really about taking three diverse, divergent during Saturday’s (2/21) Burn It Down Tour stop in Nashville creative types and building such a success story.

Jacobs Media Dir./Digital and Social Strategies Lori Lewis will return for a second year to talk about social media usage. “Social media isn’t about selling people or directing them on what to do,” says Brenner. “The heart of social is service – personalized acknowledgment.

New Country Aircheck/Mediabase Reporter Weights

Here are the new weights for Country Aircheck/Mediabase Reporters and Activator reporters, based on audience estimates from the Spring 2014 Nielsen Audio ratings. Weights for stations in PPM markets use a three-month average of April-May-June 2014 AQH Persons. The weights are calcu- lated using this formula: Market rank is multiplied by 10 and then added to the station’s AQH Persons. A station’s weight is determined by dividing the adjusted AQHP by a number that is 10% of the leading Country station’s AQH (in this case WUSN/Chicago’s 28,530 adjusted AQHP and, for Activa- tors, WFRE/Frederick’s 12,120 adjusted AQHP.) This calculation assigns a weight for each panelist on a 1-10 scale. These new weights are effective with this week’s Mediabase Country chart as printed in Country Aircheck.
