You had suggested that I get in touch with you in relation to the Authority’s position on the forthcoming expressions of interest for the TXFM licence.

Dublin City and County Alternative Rock radio service. It will provide a schedule of programming featuring a wider variety of music than chart-based stations and will also include specialist programmes which will focus on alternative genres.” Thanks in advance, Michael.

  • Communicorp Media January 2021 Executive Summary
    Submission to the Future of Media Commission By Communicorp Media January 2021 Executive Summary Communicorp Media reaches 1.75 million weekly listeners and has a significant online, digital, and social audience. Independent Radio has 2.5 million listeners daily, close to double the daily reach of RTÉ Radio. Communicorp Media and Independent Radio have 800,000 more listeners aged Under 45 than RTÉ Radio and are vitally important in reaching a younger audience. 376,000 people listen to Communicorp Media radio stations only. Communicorp Media provides more than 12,000 hours of Public Service Content a year. Public Service Broadcasting is about the content broadcast rather than the ownership of the broadcaster. RTÉ is not the only provider of Public Service Broadcasting. Radio scored a trust rating of 79% in a recent IPSOS MRBI poll. This compares to 29% for Facebook and 34% for Twitter, showing radio’s importance in an era where fake news is prevalent. 70% of daily radio listening is to a non RTÉ service. This shows content on Independent Radio has a distinct public value. Digital now accounts for 54% of all advertising spend in Ireland with Google and Facebook controlling 40% of the market. Radio advertising spend is down nearly 30% in the last ten years. Submission to the Future of Media Commission By Communicorp Media - January 2021 Page 2 The funding of journalism on Irish radio is crucially important and must be supported, otherwise the dominance of global digital players in the advertising market will have an effect on the quality of journalism produced.

  • 3 Radio and Audio Content 3 3.1 Recent Developments in Scotland
    3 Radio and audio content 3 3.1 Recent developments in Scotland Real Radio Scotland has been rebranded as Heart In February 2014 Capital Scotland was sold to the Irish media holding company, Communicorp. It was sold as part of eight stations divested by Global Radio to satisfy the UK regulatory authorities following the acquisition, two years ago, of GMG Radio from Guardian Media Group. Under a brand licensing agreement, Communicorp has rebranded the 'Real' stations under the 'Heart' franchise and plans to relaunch the 'Smooth' stations following the reintroduction of local programming. Therefore, Real Radio Scotland was rebranded as Heart Scotland in May 2014. XFM Scotland was re-launched by its owners, Global Radio, in March 2014. 3.2 Radio station availability Five new community radio stations are available to listeners in Scotland Scotland’s community radio industry has continued to grow. There are now 23 community stations on air, out of the 31 licences that have been awarded in Scotland. New to air in 2013/14 were East Coast FM, Irvine Beat FM, Crystal Radio, and K107 FM. Irvine Beat FM has received funding from the Lottery Awards for All fund to build a training studio. Nevis Radio, which serves Fort William and the surrounding areas, was originally licensed as a commercial radio service, but having chosen to become a community radio service it was awarded this licence instead, on application. The remaining eight of the most recent round of licence awards are preparing to launch. A licensee has two years from the date of the licence award in which to launch a service.

  • Terms & Definitions Used in the Reports
    Terms & Definitions Used In The Reports REACH (Average Weekday Yesterday Listenership) ° Reach is about PEOPLE. ° The size of audience “reached” by radio in general (Any Radio) or by a specific station. This question measures the number of people who have an “opportunity to hear” an ad on a radio station. ° Reach can also be described as = the number of people who listened/tuned into a station yesterday (average day). It doesn’t matter if they tuned in for 2 minutes or for 2 hours – everyone who listened is counted here. ° Remember: Yesterday = Average Day WEEKLY REACH ° Weekly reach is the sum of “yesterday listening” plus “past week listening”. (It is not based on the sum of 7 days listening as our methodology is not diary based). MARKET SHARE (Minutes Listened). ° Share is about MINUTES – it measures a station’s share of all minutes listened to Irish Commercial Radio. ° If, for example, a respondent listened to two ¼ hour periods, this is calculated as 30 minutes. Each respondent’s listening activity is calculated and added together in this manner, resulting in a TOTAL number of minutes listened per day. ° Station share is then calculated based on the number of minutes listened to Station A vs. Station B. The market share table therefore will always add up to 100%. ° The share analysis is broken out into 3 time periods – share of minutes listened 7am-7pm, 7pm-midnight, and 7am-midnight. ° Market share is a better measure of loyalty as it shows the depth of listening to a station.
