A Brief History Lesson Why consultants stay away from cliffs Prior to his enthronement as Director/Talent & Creative Services at Pollack Media Group, Jim Kerr held the Alternative Editor's post at R &R. Since he was known for his sometimes painfully in -depth analysis, we thought, what the heck? Let's bring him back to give his twisted slant on the current state of the state. When Roman Emperor Tiberius was given bad news by one of his astrologers, he would have him thrown from a cliff. Not surprisingly, this led to lots of rosy forecasts of a Alternative Report bright future for Rome and the Julian emperors. Unfortunately, upon Tiberius' death, Caligula took over, and Rome wasn't quite as bright and rosy as expected. When Kevin

Stapleford asked me to write an analysis of the format's ratings, I felt a lot like one of those Tiberian astrologers. Don't throw me off the cliff, guys, because the news is not Card 2005 good. Top -Secret Formula

More words from nerds, snobs and class clowns Let's start by putting some perspective on things. When I joined R &R as Alternative Editor in 1998, one of the primary concerns was to put the Alternative format on the same playing field as CHR. There were so many CHR stations across the country, including some markets with more than one, that there was a fairly stringent ratings requirement to ast week, when we addressed the class with the annual get onto the R &R panel. Alternative special of R &R, we At the same time, the Alternative panel was pretty much open to any commercial edition asked some of our station in an Arbitron -rated market. Our goal was to continue to include as many stations favorite programmers to grade the current state of the format. as possible while keeping a realistic bar of achievement in place. What the minimum requirements were back then and how they compare with normal KNDD (The End) /Seattle's Phil Manning, KBTZ /San Diego's performance today speak volumes about where the Alternative format finds itself. The old Garett Michaels, WXTM (Xtreme) /Cleveland's Kim Monroe, formula required that a station be either top five 18 -34 or top 10 12 +. Back in 1998 these criteria allowed practically every Alternative station in the country on to the panel. In KXRK /Salt Lake City's Todd Noker and WOCL (O- Rock)/ short, it was highly unusual for a station to be lower than top 10 12+ in its market. Orlando's Bobby Smith joined together to a big, fat "B" Fast-forward to today. I looked over Kevin's recent ratings scorecard, and the results bestow were startling. Using the minimum requirements proposed in 1998, only 38 stations in the on the Alt world. This week we'll see if we can raise our average. top 100 markets would have qualified as R &R reporters. And remember, 1998 was considered one of those `valley years" for the format, a period marked by dark times and stations fleeing the format. There may even have been some dogs and cats sleeping Joe Bevilacqua rently, with The Exies. Those are two good la- together. I guess we could say that things are different today.
