Insideradio.Com 800.275.2840 MORE NEWS» insideradio.com THE MOST TRUSTED NEWS IN RADIO FRIDAY, JULY 17, 2015 Pirate Radio Remains Hot, Angry Topic At FCC. A top concern voiced by broadcasters about FCC plans to reduce its number of area field offices was the impact it would have on efforts to crack down on pirate radio. During yesterday’s FCC Open Meeting, commissioner Michael O’Rielly called on the agency’s Enforcement Bureau to move faster to bust illegal radio operators. With pirate radio “proliferating wildly, unchecked by the FCC,” O’Rielly said he lacked confidence that the commission will “actually do something anytime soon about the ongoing assault on the integrity of our airwaves.” As part of its field office modernization plan, the FCC pledged to develop a comprehensive policy and enforcement approach to pirate radio but O’Rielly said that already exists. “The policy is that it’s illegal and the only acceptable approach is we go after illegal broadcasting operations and shut them down— full stop,” he said. Putting Enforcement Bureau chief Travis LeBlanc on the spot, O’Rielly asked whether Michael O’Rielly the policy and approach could be developed by the end of August. LeBlanc said he was hopeful that could happen but offered no guarantee. “We have a lot of people that have to work together,” LeBlanc said. “There’s a lot that needs to be done but I think there is a commitment among the senior leadership within the commission as well as the commissioners to try to identify solutions to assist with pirate radio enforcement going forward.” FCC To Close Up 11 Field Offices. The FCC voted unanimously yesterday to approve its controversial plan to close 11 field offices in its continued attempt to modernize the agency’s field operations. The closures are less severe than originally proposed by the commission, which scaled back plans to shutter most of the offices after broadcasters and members of Congress raised objections. Field offices will remain open in Atlanta; Boston; Chicago; Columbia, MD; Dallas; Denver; Honolulu; Los Angeles; Miami; New Orleans; New York; Portland, OR; and San Francisco. Offices slated to close include Anchorage, Buffalo, Detroit, Houston, Kansas City, Norfolk, Philadelphia, San Diego, San Juan, Seattle and Tampa. The FCC says the Enforcement Bureau will maintain a “field presence” in Alaska and Puerto Rico and that field agents will rotate periodically through Kansas City. It will also station rapid deployment teams in Columbia, MD and Denver to supplement the enforcement efforts of other field offices when needed and to support nationwide enforcement actions that are deemed high priority. Busy Work For Entercom, Bonneville. Think you’re having a busy Friday? Try being Entercom. After finally closing its $105 million purchase of Lincoln Financial Media this week, the company begins operating the former LFM stations first thing today. That deal and a sidecar swap with Bonneville put Entercom into four new top 20 markets—Atlanta, Miami, Los Angeles and San Diego—while expanding its presence in Denver. Chances are they’ll work through lunch. Employees in three of the markets will meet their new bosses today. In Miami, that’s VP/GM Doug Abernethy, who Entercom recruited from Radio One. Former LFM staffers in Atlanta will shake hands with VP/GM Mike Fowler, most recently with ESPN in Chicago. Bob Bollinger, Entercom’s new VP/GM in San Diego, is no stranger to the market—he’s crossing the street from the CBS Radio cluster. Amy Griesheimer is staying put in Denver but presiding over a larger cluster. And Peter Burton continues to manage Los Angeles classic rocker “The Sound” KSWD, which Entercom began operating under a time brokerage agreement with Bonneville. Bonneville, in turn, got the keys to the Denver cluster that it took over via a time brokerage agreement with Entercom. They [email protected] | 800.275.2840 PG 1 NEWS insideradio.com FRIDAY, JULY 17, 2015 include soft AC KOSI (101.1), country KYGO-FM (98.5), sports “The Fan” KKFN and sports “1600 The Zone” KEPN-AM. To win Department of Justice approval for the blockbuster LFM deal, Entercom agreed to divest the four stations in exchange for KSWD. Entercom still needs FCC approval to close on the Denver-for-L.A.-station swap with Bonneville, which is expected to close by the fourth quarter. Connected Cars To Drive Digital—Report. With smart home technology already fast moving from the virtual to the virtually here, connected cars appear ready to swoop in as the “next major battleground,” according to a new report from Business Insider. And while entertainment is touted to be among the more popular features, it is expected to only generate $13 billion in revenue in 2020, making it pale in comparison to the $44 billion safety features is set to deliver. The total connected- services pie is supposed to hit $152 billion by that year. The entertainment integrations the BI Intelligence report expects include apps such as Pandora, Yelp and Facebook. Interestingly, a J.D. Power U.S. Tech Choice Study, released in April, says that Apple’s CarPlay and Android Auto only generated “lukewarm interest” among those surveyed, though it also suggested attitudes could shift. Five years isn’t a very long time, but with technology moving at the speed of sound, anything—including attitudes—can indeed change. And they’d have to—the Business Insider survey further suggests about 80% of consumers currently have either never heard of the “connected car” or aren’t sure what it’s about. Not surprisingly, millennials are ahead of the curve on the technology. According to the Power survey, that demo is ready to pay up to $3,700 more to get a full package of connected devices, far more than any other group. And as the Business Insider report adds, 25% of global consumers would freely accept in-car advertising if that meant they’d get extra tech for free. So another group will be happy with the tech’s advantages—marketers looking to break into connected-car-related sales. Station Sales Continue, But No Big Deals. BIA/Kelsey reports that 58 radio stations changed hands in June, for a total value of all of $11 million. Last year in June, the 54 total station transactions brought in $177 million. So the only folks crying on the way to the bank were station brokers. Radio fared better than television, according to BIA/Kelsey—revenue from the sale of TV stations in June added up to exactly zero, compared to $199 million the year before. Year-to-date, radio sales totaled $217 million, just one-third of the $622 million in radio sales last year. BIA/Kelsey says 322 stations were sold, down from 522 year-over-year. This is keeping in line with the recent SNL Kagan conference in New York, where investors predicted a lean year for radio transactions. Last year, revenue from the sale of TV stations was robust. The $8 billion taken in was up 367% from the year prior; the nearly 300 stations sold were 205% more than the year before. New Female Artists Still Looking For a Break On Country Radio. Female acts trying to get exposure on country radio can’t seem to catch a break of late. The latest indication: The number of new female artists with chart-topping hits and follow- ups has hit a particularly vexing low point. According to research by country music blogger and Stanford University PhD candidate Devarati Ghosh, reported by Billboard, over the last five years, major record labels introduced 31 new female artists to country radio, but only 32% of the women landed a top-20 single, and none scored a second top-20 song. In contrast, of the 51 new male artists introduced, 57% produced a top-20 song and 75% went on to notch a second hit. Ghosh, who blogs on MJs Big Blog as Deb G, analyzed the Billboard Country Airplay charts from three eight-year periods: 1992-99, 2000-07 and 2008-15. New female artists have previously stacked up better. From 1992-99, when now-legends such as Faith Hill, Shania Twain, Martina McBride and Sara Evans debuted, major record companies introduced 41 new solo female artists and 67 new male artists. Of the new female artists, 44% landed a top-20 song, and an impressive 89% of those notched a second, while 42% of the men recorded an initial top-20 hit and 86% of those scored a second. During the interim period, 2000-07, when 43 new women and 56 new men debuted, women faltered a bit. Of the new females, 40% hit the top 20 chart, compared to 55% of the men. Of those, just 53% of female artists delivered a second hit, while 71% of the men accomplished the feat. But, in a positive twist, despite the decline in chart-topping songs, record labels have been relatively consistent with the number of new female artists they have introduced to radio, so they’re not backing off trying.

  • Final Internal Message at ESPN We Take Great Pride in the Development Of
    Final internal message At ESPN we take great pride in the development of future leaders of the company, people who understand our Mission and Values and who make other people better. We have many such individuals at ESPN and I am confident that the list grows longer every day. Secure in that belief and with the support of Bob Iger, today I am announcing that as of January 1, 2012, I will take on the new position of Executive Chairman of ESPN, a position I will hold for at least the next 12 months. In that capacity I will remain Chairman of the ESPN Board but will hand off responsibility for the day-to-day duties as President of ESPN and co-chair of Disney Media Networks. Succession planning has been a focus of Disney's for some time, and consistent with that approach, this is a process that I began last spring. We are in very good shape both domestically and internationally on many fronts, including rights, distribution, ad sales, ratings and digital distribution and I simply decided that after 13 years as president and nearly 31 years at the company, it was a good time for me to step aside and allow others to lead our continuing efforts. Bob and I are extremely excited to share as well that on January 1, John Skipper will assume the duties of President of ESPN and Co-Chair (along with Anne Sweeney) of Disney Media Networks. John's record of achievement as head of our Content Division and his prior experience in Ad Sales and launching ESPN The Magazine have prepared him well to take on these roles.

    The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School College of Communications THE RISE AND FALL OF GRANTLAND A Thesis in Media Studies by Roger Van Scyoc © 2018 Roger Van Scyoc Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts May 2018 The thesis of Roger Van Scyoc was reviewed and approved* by the following: Russell Frank Associate Professor of Journalism Thesis Adviser Ford Risley Professor of Journalism Associate Dean for Undergraduate and Graduate Education Kevin Hagopian Senior Lecturer of Media Studies John Affleck Knight Chair in Sports Journalism and Society Matthew McAllister Professor of Media Studies Chair of Graduate Programs *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School ii ABSTRACT The day before Halloween 2015, ESPN pulled the plug on Grantland. Spooked by slumping revenues and the ghost of its ousted leader Bill Simmons, the multimedia giant axed the sports and pop culture website that helped usher in a new era of digital media. The website, named for sports writing godfather Grantland Rice, channeled the prestige of a bygone era while crystallizing the nature of its own time. Grantland’s writers infused their pieces with spry commentary, unabashed passion and droll humor. Most importantly, they knew what they were writing about. From its birth in June 2011, Grantland quickly became a hub for educated sports consumption. Grantland’s pieces entertained and edified. Often vaulting over 1,000 words, they also skewed toward a more affluent and more educated audience. The internet promoted shifts and schisms by its very nature. Popular with millennials, Grantland filled a certain niche.

  • Gregg Potter
    Gregg Potter Emmy-Award winning drummer Gregg Potter is the drummer with the new Buddy Rich Band, a 16- piece big band of Buddy alumni who played with Buddy Rich himself! Gregg fronted The BR Band throughout the Buddy Rich Centennial Celebration Year 2017-2018 World Tour. The tour included a crisscrossing of the United States as well as a barnstorming of Europe. The European stint included a sold out week of shows at the prestigious Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club in London, where Buddy recorded several albums and solidified his drumming mastery abroad! Gregg was most recently featured in the August 2018 issue of Drumhead Magazine, the number one drum magazine in circulation. He was also featured in the December 2012 special commemorative Buddy Rich issue of Modern Drummer Magazine and the Drumhead Magazine 2017 legend’s issue. In 2016, Hal Leonard Publishing released a first-ever Buddy Rich Play Along CD/book package featuring Gregg's drumming along with the Buddy Rich Alumni Band. Gregg will front the legendary band in 2019 as they again headline shows around the world. Gregg began his professional career after winning the Slingerland/Louie Bellson National Drum Contest at the legendary Frank’s Drum Shop in Chicago. As a high school student he was presented with the Louis Armstrong Jazz Award along with several other jazz soloist individual awards. While still a teenager, he landed the drumming spot with Radio Hall of Fame icon Steve Dahl. Along with Dahl and his band Teenage Radiation, Gregg scored two hit singles, performed on Dahl’s daily radio show, syndicated national shows, Emmy-Award winning television specials, feature film soundtracks, daily morning television shows and live concert appearances.
