  • Podcasts, According to a Study from Advertiser Perceptions
    Background From highly personalized niche programs to brand extensions from major media networks, podcasting is where millions of media consumers are turning to for information, entertainment, and connection to the world. In fact, one out of four Americans has listened to a podcast in the past month, according to Edison Research’s annual Infinite Dial study. Advertisers are taking notice of this substantial audience, as more than two-thirds of advertising media decision makers have discussed advertising in podcasts, according to a study from Advertiser Perceptions. Yet, very little research has been done on the advertising environment within podcasts, including best practices for increasing listener engagement and brand impact. Westwood One commissioned a study of weekly podcast listeners and their perceptions about the advertisements that they hear within podcasts. This study was created in conjunction with Maru/Matchbox and Vision Critical, a nationally recognized leader in consumer research. This study was fielded online using a nationally representative sample of 600 respondents who met the following criteria: • Adults over the age of 18 • All respondents spent at least one hour listening to podcasts within the past week • Respondents were not employed in the advertising, public relations, marketing, market research, radio, television, digital, or podcasting industries • Surveys were conducted between July 16, 2018 and July 23, 2018 WESTWOOD ONE’S PODCAST DOWNLOAD – FALL 2 0 1 8 Key findings • Women are catching up in the podcast environment. The heavy female podcast listener is a desirable target for advertisers. • More podcast listeners are becoming heavy users of the medium. There is double digit year over year growth among the heaviest podcast listeners.

  • How to Switch Programs on the XDS Pro Using Serial Commands Every
    How to switch programs on the XDS Pro using Serial Commands Every Program transmitted via the XDS satellite system is associated with a Program ID that identifies the program to the receiver. Individual programs may be selected to the receiver’s output ports by issuing serial ID commands via the M&C (Console) Port on the back of the receiver, thereby changing the program that the receiver is decoding. If a program is selected for decoding using this method that is NOT part of the station’s list of authorized programming, it will NOT be decoded. Only programs authorized for the station that the receiver is assigned to can be decoded. Whenever possible, always use the XDS Port Scheduler as your main method of taking a program to ensure you receive the proper content. You can command the receiver as follows: 1) Start a terminal session (using HyperTerminal or equivalent) by connecting to the receiver’s M&C (Console) Port. The default settings for this Port are 115200, 8, None, 1. 2) Hit Enter. You should see a “Hudson” prompt. 3) Log in by by typing LOGIN(space)TECH(space)(PASSWORD) (Use your Affiliate NMS (myxdsreceiver.westwoodone.com) password OR you can use the receiver’s daily password (Setup > Serial # > PWD). 4) Login confirmation will be displayed (‘You are logged in as TECH’) Once you are logged in, the command to steer a Port on the receiver to a specific program PID is: PORT(space)LIVE,(Port),ID Examples: PORT LIVE,A,99 – This command will set Port A to Program ID 99 (Mark Levin) PORT LIVE,B,1196 – This command will set Port B to Program ID 1196 (CBS Sports - Tiki and Tierney) Please refer to the PID table listed below for the Program ID assignments for each program available on the Westwood One XDS receiver.
