  • Media Monitoring: West Michigan News
    Media Monitoring: West Michigan News Alexandra Simon Media Relations 22 January 2020 Media Monitoring: West Michigan News Media Outlets Observed The media for this media monitoring project that was observed for its content was on radio, television, and newspaper. Now, because newspapers are printed online, top headlines were taken from a website as it would be assumed to be seen in a printed newspaper, with the largest fonts and those with photos seen as more purposefully enticing. For radio, West Michigan Newsradio WOOD was used, which is on 106.9 FM, 1300 AM, and the iHeartRadio website. The show, Joe Pags, is based out of San Antonio, Texas. For television, Grand Rapids’ local news channel WZZM13 was used, an ABC Network-affiliated show online and on TV. This was incredibly difficult to watch as I had to find the live show’s link on Google, on Safari, every time I wanted to watch it because it would not load from its own website on Google Chrome, even after the show started. For newspaper, Michigan-based news source MLive was used, its homepage is organized in a way that features some articles better than others and in my media log, I tried to keep all of these spaces on its website in the same column for each day, organizing it by visual importance rather than timing like in radio and television. Types of Stories Covered Between the television and newspaper news sources, WZZM13 and MLive, these two networks were very similar in what news they covered. Unlike these, the radio station WOOD was largely focused on politics and then talked on specific themes at lengths, whereas the TV and newspaper had a larger variety of content.

SPANISH BROADCASTING SYSTEM, INC. Nancy A. Ory Paul A. Cicelski Laura M. Berman Lerman Senter PLLC 2001 L Street NW, Suite 400 Washington, DC 20036 Tel. (202) 429-8970 April 19, 2017 Their Attorneys -ii- SUMMARY In this Petition, WSBS Licensing, Inc. and its parent company Spanish Broadcasting System, Inc. (“SBS”) seek modification of the television market of WSBS-TV, Key West, Florida (the “Station”), to reinstate 41 communities (the “Communities”) located in the Miami- Ft. Lauderdale Designated Market Area (the “Miami-Ft. Lauderdale DMA” or the “DMA”) that were previously deleted from the Station’s television market by virtue of a series of market modification decisions released in 1996 and 1997. SBS seeks recognition that the Communities located in Miami-Dade and Broward Counties form an integral part of WSBS-TV’s natural market. The elimination of the Communities prior to SBS’s ownership of the Station cannot diminish WSBS-TV’s longstanding service to the Communities, to which WSBS-TV provides significant locally-produced news and public affairs programming targeted to residents of the Communities, and where the Station has developed many substantial advertising relationships with local businesses throughout the Communities within the Miami-Ft. Lauderdale DMA. Cable operators have obviously long recognized that a clear nexus exists between the Communities and WSBS-TV’s programming because they have been voluntarily carrying WSBS-TV continuously for at least a decade and continue to carry the Station today.

  • The Structural Imbalance of Political Talk Radio
    THE STRUCTURAL IMBALANCE OF POLitiCAL TALK RADIO A Joint Report by The Center for American Progress and Free Press June 21, 2007 Updated June 22, 2007 Center for American Progress Authors John Halpin, Senior Fellow and Executive Speechwriter James Heidbreder, Research Intern Mark Lloyd, Senior Fellow Paul Woodhull, Special Adviser, Founder and President of Media Syndication Services Free Press Authors Ben Scott, Policy Director Josh Silver, Executive Director S. Derek Turner, Research Director Report Design and Layout, Center for American Progress Adorna Williams, Art Director Andrew Pratt, Special Assistant Shannon Ryan, Graphic Designer Introduction espite the dramatic expansion of viewing and listening options for consum- ers today, traditional radio remains one of the most widely used media Dformats in America. Arbitron, the national radio ratings company, reports that more than 90 percent of Americans ages 12 or older listen to radio each week, “a higher penetration than television, magazines, newspapers, or the Internet.”1 Although listening hours have declined slightly in recent years, Americans listened on average to 19 hours of radio per week in 2006.2 Among radio formats, the combined news/talk format (which includes news/talk/ information and talk/personality) leads all others in terms of the total number of sta- tions per format and trails only country music in terms of national audience share.3 Through more than 1,700 stations across the nation, the combined news/talk format is estimated to reach more than 50 million listeners each week.4 As this report will document in detail, conservative talk radio undeniably dominates the format: ß Our analysis in the spring of 2007 of the 257 news/talk stations owned by the top five commercial station owners reveals that 91 percent of the total weekday talk radio programming is conservative, and 9 percent is progressive.
