January 26, 2015, Issue 432 Country’s 18-34s: Bailing Already? In 2014, Country radio’s record summer was immediately followed by a record decline, particularly among younger demos. Big deal or not? Nielsen VP/Programming Business Partner Jon Miller shared his thoughts with Country Aircheck. “One of the benefits of PPM is that you can see really quickly how tastes and habits are changing,” Miller says. “What jumps out is that the format hit this really great peak in the summer and then six months later the declines were noticeable. I don’t know if six months is enough to say that the format is in trouble or the sky’s falling, because it’s not. But it’s an interesting trend that after several years of sustained growth you can’t ignore.” Here are the numbers. Overall, yearly Coun- try radio share grew consecutively from 2011 to 2014, finishing the latter with an 8.1 (P6+), Jon Miller 9.7 (P18-34) and 7.9 (P25-54).

January 26 , 2015 Page 3 three months later (BN 10/16), he started working on the Dec. 3 Coyote Acoustic Concert in August. Considering the caliber of PAGE THREE PIC talent, the size of the audience – 17,000 fans – and the quality of the show, Country Aircheck caught up with Jordan to find out how he pulled it all off. First, there was the matter of booking talent. By the time the show was announced in November (BN 11/13), Luke Bryan, Toby Keith, Little Big Town, Jake Owen, Chris Young, Montgomery Gen- try, Craig Morgan, John Michael Montgomery, Kristian Bush, Eric Paslay and Maddie & Tae were confirmed. “There were only a few managers and labels involved really early on,” Jordan says. “Once we started getting some of the key artists locked in, then we started to branch out more, bring more people into the loop.” Jordan says Keith and Bryan were the first to jump in, but it took a while. “It was a lot of hurry up and wait. But in the end it all pulled together.” He adds that as each artist confirmed, he’d update the timeline so they’d know exactly how long the show was going to be. “Frankly, we thought the show Best KASE Scenario: Then-KASE/Austin PD Brad might have gone a little bit too long but there were so many great Hansen shares the studio with Career artist Tammy artists onstage, we were ok with that,” he says.
