Insideradio.Com 800.275.2840 MORE NEWS» insideradio.com THE MOST TRUSTED NEWS IN RADIO WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 17, 2014 Study uncovers big opportunity for radio to tap email marketing budgets. There’s good news for broadcasters that have built monetizable listener email databases. A survey of nearly 400 marketers conducted by email marketing services provider StrongView shows continued reliance on email marketing for 2015. More than nine in ten (93%) marketers report their email marketing budget is either staying the same or increasing for the 2014-2015 holiday shopping season. According to StrongView, email marketing remains the top target for increased investment in 2015. In terms of overall marketing budgets, 54% of brands will see an increase and a third of those will be increasing it by more than 10% over 2014. While it may be considered slightly old school, email was already the radio industry’s second fastest growing digital channel in 2014, according to Borrell Associates, up 40% to $89 million. Should it continue at its current rate, it will surpass streaming audio as radio’s second biggest producer of digital dollars. “Email is one of the larger opportunities for radio, if not the largest,” Borrell Associates CEO Gordon Borrell says. Stations have used loyalty programs and contests to build robust email databases. The next step is segmenting them to learn more about the individuals on the list to deliver more targeted audiences for advertisers. Real-time marketing is the latest trend email marketers are exploiting. It allows individual personalization based on an opener’s location, weather, temperature or device type to build real-time context. But getting the basics right comes first. Nearly one-third (32%) of consumers say email marketing messages are too small to read and interact with on mobile, according to the Relevancy Group. EAS wake-up call: NAB wants FCC to convene group to look for fixes. The crew at “The Bobby Bones Show” may’ve expected the industry to lay into them for their errant activation of the Emergency Alert System in late-October. Instead, broadcasters are pointing to the incident as a wakeup call for what needs to be fixed. The National Association of Broadcasters is urging the FCC to support an industry-led effort to address the concerns. “While the October 24th case was an isolated incident caused by someone with little familiarity with EAS, the next situation could involve a more purposeful, malicious breach,” NAB warns in a filing with the Commission, adding, “The potential for mischief is substantial.” The solutions being floated to keep a similar situation from happening again include changing the format of the activation codes to include the year, and the establishment of more uniform standards across the various manufacturers of EAS equipment. “Broadcasters have strong, market-based incentives to adopt cybersecurity measures to ensure reliable, resilient service,” the trade group says in a filing with the Commission. Because the improper alert was beamed by a syndicated show, the impact was felt in several markets. It was also tagged with a presidential code, which under FCC rules, requires stations to interrupt regular programming to air such messages immediately. So the NAB is asking the FCC to refrain from issuing a fine against stations that “passively” retransmitted the October 24 alert. Meanwhile, AT&T says the false alert disrupted its U-verse television service in 10 markets including Atlanta, Charlotte and Nashville where the Bones show is based. Is it time for a return of the Red Envelope? It sat in the control room for decades NEWS INSIDE >> during the Cold War era — a red envelope which contained codes to validate national activations by the President. The ease at which a fake alert with those codes spread SOUTH CAROLINA across numerous cities has some calling for the envelope’s return. The Broadcast OWNER DONATES HIS Warning Working Group, a group of EAS experts from radio and television engineering ENTIRE CLUSTER [email protected] | 800.275.2840 PG 1 NEWS insideradio.com WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 17, 2014 circles, believes a “virtual red envelope” could use EAS servers to distribute a short validation code. A non-match would trigger an alarm that would require a manual review of the alert message before it is broadcast to the public. The National Association of Broadcasters hasn’t taken a position on the idea, but says it at least deserves a closer look. The Working Group also thinks the FCC should standardize how EAS equipment responds to all events in the future. “We know this will not be an easy, painless nor inexpensive process,” the group says. It also suggests that the FCC adopt a requirement that television or cable EAS equipment no longer be set off by radio, and vice versa. The tech community believes broadcasters need to do more to educate corporate and air staff to help prevent similar mistakes in the future. “The opposite will make things worse,” the group warns. It suggests the FCC look at whether it’s appropriate to put pressure on YouTube to take down any video or audio clips that contain EAS tones. Senate confirms O’Rielly to new FCC term. As lawmakers race to gavel out the 113th Congress into history, the U.S. Senate last night gave some stability to the Federal Communications Commission. It voted to nominate Republican commissioner Mike O’Reilly to a new term. The former Capitol Hill staffer had been serving out the term of former commissioner Robert McDowell since being sworn-in last November. The vote came without a fresh confirmation hearing. O’Reilly says he is “exceptionally honored” to be confirmed to a new term, writing on Twitter that there is “much work ahead” for him at the FCC. One radio item that he’s been pushing for has recently been jumpstarted as the agency advanced a rulemaking that would allow stations to post contest rules online. O’Reilly has also signaled he’s skeptical of some current media ownership limitations. Some broadcasters hope that means he’ll lobby for further relaxing regulations as the 2014 quadrennial ownership proceeding takes shape. New York translator sold for $3.5 million. In the latest example of how lucrative translator deal-making has become, the second-highest price tag for a signal has just been agreed upon. Chicago real estate investor John Bridge will buy the translator W292DV at 106.3 FM in New York from Michael and Tammy Celenza for $3.5 million. The signal will relay an HD subchannel from suburban WVIP (93.5), according to a filing with the FCC. The translator has had a bumpy existence. A move to Times Square was blocked by Press Communications, which said it caused interference on co-channel country “Thunder 106.3” WKMK in the adjacent Monmouth-Ocean, NJ market. Covering a potential audience of 1.034 million people, the translator is now licensed to an apartment building in Queens with 25 watts. But the seller has applied to drop down to four watts and move to the nearby 50-story Citibank building. “This has been a long and winding road, maybe what you would expect to drop a translator into the most densely populated market in the country,” Hoffman Schutz Media president Dave Schutz says. “Perhaps the buyer feels that with a foothold atop the highest New York City structure east of Manhattan, it will be a beachhead for future power increases that will build its population base.” That could explain why Bridge is paying $3.50 per person covered by its 60dBu contour signal — a hefty price for a secondary service. There’s no word on what Bridge plans for the translator’s format, but earlier this year Bridge paid $1 million for a Chicago translator at 103.9 FM and last week soft-launched the smooth jazz station “The Groove” with holiday music. A formal launch will come after Christmas. The sale becomes radio’s second-biggest FM translator sale in history, with only a $4.6 million deal filed in July by Elroy Smith’s Integrity Radio Communications for a Chicago signal topping it. Ervin Broadcasting to donate all of its Greenville-Spartanburg stations. A year after former South Carolina Circuit Court judge and gubernatorial candidate Tom Ervin took over a trio of stations in the Greenville-Spartanburg market he’s donating the cluster to The Power Foundation. “It is a miracle that this could happen,” Foundation president John McClure tells the Independent Mail. Staffers were told this week that “Classic Hits 103.1” WRIX-FM and WANS (1280) as well as the now-silent daytimer WRIX (1020) will be transferred to the religious broadcaster. Ervin tells the paper his decision to donate the stations is in the “best interest of the community and the stations.” The deal reportedly came together quickly with Ervin and McClure beginning their discussions just a month ago. “I’ve been in radio for 20 years and I’ve seen some crazy stuff but this is the weirdest,” general manager Aly Haley tells the newspaper. [email protected] | 800.275.2840 PG 2 NEWS insideradio.com WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 17, 2014 FTC goes after auto dealers for ads with rapid-fire disclosures. The Federal Trade Commission has gone after two dozen auto dealer groups with more than two dozen retail stores across five states for, among other advertising violations, airing radio commercials with rapid-fire disclosures. The FTC says the violations amount to deceptive advertising related to the terms it offered for buying or leasing a car. Billion Auto, a chain of 20 family-owned automobile dealerships in Iowa, Montana, and South Dakota, and a family-controlled advertising company, Nichols Media, will pay a $360,000 fine to settle the FTC’s charges.

    800.275.2840 MORE NEWS» insideradio.com THE MOST TRUSTED NEWS IN RADIO TUESDAY, JANUARY 13, 2015 Radio remains top music discovery method, Nielsen reports. Even with the number of ways to listen to music growing exponentially, radio remains the top method of music discovery according to a new report from Nielsen. In its 2014 Music U.S. Report, Nielsen calculates 51% of consumers use radio to discover new music and that 59% of music listeners use a combination of over-the-air AM/FM radio and online radio streams to hear music. The biggest music consumption trend of 2014 was the rapid growth of streaming audio. Nielsen reports on-demand streaming audio of music grew 60% last year to a record 78.6 billion streams. Counting both audio and video, Nielsen tracked 163.9 billion on-demand music streams in 2014. In a typical week, two-thirds of music consumers (67%) listen to music online via any form of streaming, the study found. But how music fans consume music varies greatly, depending on genre. Nielsen’s 2014 music recap found R&B/hip- hop is the dominant genre for streaming, accounting for nearly three in ten streams (28.5%), followed by rock (24.7%) and pop (21.1%). Music genres stacked up differently in 2014 when it came to radio listening. Across Nielsen’s PPM markets, CHR (8.3%) and country (8.2%) were the leading music formats among all listeners, followed by AC, (7.1%), hot AC (6.2%) and classic hits (5.2%). Among 18-34 year olds it was CHR (12.3%), followed by country (9.8%), hot AC (7.1%), rhythmic CHR (6.7%) and AC (5.9%).

  • The Common Alerting Protocol (CAP) and the Challenge of Public Warning Date: 15/05/2017 to 21/05/2017 Summary
    Expert: Eliot Christian Title of the Session: The Common Alerting Protocol (CAP) and the Challenge of Public Warning Date: 15/05/2017 to 21/05/2017 Summary Societies around the world are engaged in a profound revolution in emergency alerting. Enabled by uptake of the international standard Common Alerting Protocol, all manner of communications networks can now be leveraged to get alerts to everyone who needs them, wherever they are and whatever they are doing. With these new capabilities, it is clear that many lives can be saved and livelihoods protected as emergency alerting becomes more available, more precise, more reliable, completely secure, and as fast as it can be. Context Getting Public Warnings to People Online To help disseminate public warnings, alerting authorities have long relied on commercial media, such as newswires, broadcast radio and television. Television stations insert "crawl text" with the warning message; radio stations insert a recording. This public-private collaboration has required huge investments in specialized technology. Now people are using cell phones and online media more and more. Do societies worldwide need a new round of huge investments in specialized technology to get warnings to all these people online? Actually, huge new investments are not needed. Online media and alerting authorities already developed ways to get warnings to cell phones and people online, at minimal cost. The Hazard App developed by the Red Cross Global Disaster Preparedness Center (GDPC) is one example. As part of the Universal App Program, GDPC partners with Red Cross and Red Crescent national societies to develop First Aid and Hazard alerting apps.

  • App Integration: the Future of How Smartphones Interface with Infotainment Systems App Integration: the Future of How Smartphones Interface with Infotainment Systems
    App integration: The future of how smartphones interface with infotainment systems App integration: The future of how smartphones interface with infotainment systems he average driver today is an avid smartphone app user, and most want to use some, or all, of these apps in the car. However, most consumers find using their smartphone in T their car while driving distracting; 82% of new car buyers in the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, and China told IHS this in its Connected Car consumer survey. Controlling smartphone apps via the car’s human machine interface (HMI) does not eliminate all distraction problems, but is certainly an improvement. The solution is smartphone app integration software platforms, which are now so plentiful that two hands are needed to count the various contenders. There are basically two ways of doing this: • Modify the smartphone operating system (OS): Makes the smartphone’s OS interface with an in-vehicle infotainment (IVI) system’s HMI. These are often called screen projection mode solutions or screen mirroring solutions. This will also require specific middleware on each infotainment system that uses this variant of smartphone app integration. This middleware will implement restrictions on what content can be shown while driving to reduce driver distractions. The main advantage is that there will be minimal or no change needed by the app developers. Typically, this type of solution requires minimal updates by developers to extend their apps to work with these projection mode technologies, through an application program interface (API). Apple CarPlay and Android Auto take this approach. • Create an intermediate app platform: Connects the smartphone to the in-vehicle HMI.

We're all for the concept ... but we're hopeful this commendable notion can be accomplished without burdening broadcasters with a lot of redundant paperwork. On this subject, I thought you and your associates might be interested in a talk my father, William O'Shaughnessy, gave just last week before a business group here in New Rochelle, our City of License in Westchester County, outside New York City. As I read - and heard - it, I wondered how much more local a broadcaster can get. While it is undeniably true that many/most radio stations have fallen to absentee owners and speculators (my dad likes to say they are run by "market managers" who operate out of airport lounges with Palm Pilots and Blackberries reporting to corporate masters a whole continent away) there are still abroad in the land some very worthy locally-owned and locally-operated independent community stations like WVOX and WVIP. I'm also sending a copy of a very unique promotional piece called "Our Ratings Book" which further makes the case that some stations need little encouragement to reach your commendable goal.
