    800.275.2840 MORE NEWS» insideradio.com THE MOST TRUSTED NEWS IN RADIO FRIDAY, OCTOBER 16, 2015 Nielsen Takes Bubba To Court For PPM Influence. In what appears to be the first-ever case of its kind, Nielsen Audio has sued Bubba The Love Sponge in federal court over alleged ratings tampering. Filed Thursday in U.S. District Court in the Middle District of Florida in Tampa, the civil action accuses the host (Todd Clem) and his Bubba Radio Network of fraud, conspiracy to defraud, violating the Florida Deceptive and Unfair Practices Act and interfering with business and contractual relations between Nielsen and Beasley Media Group, which airs his syndicated show in Tampa. It seeks at least $1 million. In the suit, Nielsen claims Clem met with the “cooperating panelist” multiple times in July and August, offering to pay $300 per month if the listener helped increase his ratings, up to $400 if a target ratings threshold was achieved. According to the Tampa Tribune, Clem sent texts to the panelist including one that read, “U have to PROMISE NOT TO SAY A WORD ... This could ruin me.” The suit describes the lengths Clem went to in an effort to artificially boost his ratings. He bought radios on Amazon.com and had them shipped to the panelist’s house, it claims, and advised the panelist on how to circumvent the PPM’s motion-sensing technology. “He described that by using certain tricks the Cooperating Panelist could make it appear that he was listening to Bubba Clem’s show even when the Cooperating Panelist was not carrying the PPM device,” the complaint states.

Built 1903-4; Jardine, Kent & Jardine, architects Landmark Site: Block 558, Lot 43, in part, consisting of the property on which the 1903-04 structure is located On September 7, 2006 the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation of the Van Tassell & Kearney Auction Mart and the proposed designation of the related Landmark site.

Designed by the New York architects Jardine, Kent & Jardine, the fifty-foot- wide red brick facade terminates in a rounded cornice, echoing the shape of the central window. Enlivened by four bull’s eye windows and limestone trim, the apex frames a projecting limestone element that originally supported a flagpole.

    VIACOM REPORTS RECORD FIRST QUARTER 2001 RESULTS • Reported Revenues Increase 90% to a Record $5.75 Billion • EBITDA Up 145% to a Record $1.15 Billion, Up 15% on a Pro Forma Basis • Pro Forma Free Cash Flow Totals $648 Million, Up 20% on a Per Share Basis New York, New York, April 24, 2001 -- Viacom Inc. (NYSE: VIA and VIA.B) today reported record results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2001, led by gains in nearly every business unit including significant increases in its Cable Networks, Television and Entertainment segments. For the first quarter of 2001, Viacom’s reported revenues rose 90% to $5.75 billion from $3.03 billion in the same quarter last year, and reported EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) increased 145% to $1.15 billion, from $470 million in the first quarter of 2000. Reported free cash flow for the first quarter of 2001 was $586 million, up 169% from $218 million in the same quarter last year and after-tax cash flow of $691 million climbed 114% over after-tax cash flow of $323 million for the same quarter last year. The Company considers free cash flow to be an important measure of performance because it reflects the resources available to the Company after interest, taxes and capital expenditures that can be used to invest in the business, acquire additional assets, strengthen the balance sheet and repurchase stock. Viacom’s first quarter 2001 performance was led by the sharply higher results in the Cable Networks, Television and Entertainment segments.

CONCLUSION ............................................................................................. 19 V. APPENDICES ................................................................................................ 21 I. OVERVIEW On September 17, 2018, the Administration released its Proposed Multi-Year Financial Plan, Fiscal 2019-2022 (the “Proposed Plan”), the first year of which is the Proposed Budget for FY 2019 (the “Proposed Budget”). The following discussion reflects the analysis of NIFA staff regarding the Administration’s submission. The Proposed Plan is more straightforward than in the recent past and we favorably acknowledge the County’s efforts in that regard. However, our analysis indicates that the County’s finances continue to have a mismatch between recurring revenues and expenditures throughout the Proposed Plan. If budgetary risks are not resolved, the mismatch could lead to a year-end deficit of $59.1 million in FY 2019 and higher amounts in the Out-Years. For perspective, the Control Period will continue if there occurs, or there is a substantial likelihood of a 1% deficit on a GAAP Basis in the County’s Major Funds (defined herein), or $30.7 million based on the 2019 Proposed Budget.
