    Radio, the Original Electronic Media, Is the Load-Bearing Wall in Audio’S House

    JUNE 2019 AUDIO TODAY 2019 HOW AMERICA LISTENS Copyright © 2019 The Nielsen Company (US), LLC. All Rights Reserved. I was on a flight recently and the seat-back tray table had an advertisement glued onto it. Can you believe it? I paid $600 to look at an ad for two hours. The fact of the matter is, as consumers, our eyeballs are maxed out. There are virtually no open spaces left to bolt a video screen, or paste yet another logo. As the media landscape continues to fragment and evolve, a new trend is emerging: AUDIO-based content is hip and decidedly in fashion. You’d have to be a hermit not to know that audio, in all its various forms, is increasingly winning the attention of American consumers. Podcasting, streaming and smart speakers are all shining new light on what’s being called “the other channel into the consumer’s mind.” BRAD KELLY, MANAGING DIRECTOR Some of this appeal can be attributed to a long and sustained legacy. AM/FM radio, the original electronic media, is the load-bearing wall in audio’s house. Broadcast radio’s NIELSEN AUDIO continued success and resiliency is due in large part to the enviable space it occupies in the automotive console. It’s free, ubiquitous, and at the fingertips of virtually every consumer on the road today. Add to that solid foundation all the new delivery platforms and limitless content being offered from streaming and podcasters, and it’s easy to understand why the sector is growing. Voice- activated assistants are becoming commonplace, which makes access to audio content seamless and easy.

    JUNE 2017 STATE OF THE MEDIA: AUDIO TODAY 2017 HOW AMERICA LISTENS Copyright © 2017 The Nielsen Company WELCOME Let’s give credit where it’s due. Radio is remarkably resilient. When Nielsen entered the Audio measurement space, for the first time radio Brad Kelly, was stacked up against the competition -- and the results surprised a few Managing director people. Despite the countless media and entertainment options available Nielsen audio today, AM/FM radio continues to be the top weekly reach medium. 271 MILLION AMERICANS 6+ LISTEN TO RADIO EACH WEEK* Marketers and Brand Managers are rediscovering radio. It is a mass medium that can deliver targetability and message frequency in markets large and small. And as the audio pie continues to grow (Americans are carving out more and more time each day to listen), radio consumers tune in when and where it counts. Listening outside the home and, specifically, in the car is a huge part of the radio ecosystem. This gives advertisers the opportunity to uniquely deliver their message just prior to purchase. Not to be outdone by digital, radio is an active participant in the digital arena. Delivery platforms like AM/FM streaming audio, HD radio, and NextRadio are creating new user experiences. And the radio data is feeding seamlessly into Programmatic Solutions and the Marketing Cloud. Accountability is more than a buzz word. Advertisers increasingly insist on it and radio delivers. Nielsen provides the independent measurement, and our Audio data is now powering high caliber analytics in variety of new ways. Marketing Mix Modeling, Return on Ad Spend, cross-media Incremental Reach, the list goes on.

    Musiscfirst-Fmc-Fcc-Comment

    EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The musicFIRST Coalition and the Future of Music Coalition take this opportunity to focus on competitive relationships between audio delivery platforms and the public interest in having access to recorded music via diverse, competitive and local audio delivery mechanisms. While we urge the Commission to consider music creators when analyzing competition between audio platforms, we also urge the Commission to recognize that owners of large AM/FM radio clusters within individual markets in the U.S. already have substantial competitive advantages over owners of smaller clusters and individual independent stations within those markets. In particular, if the Commission were to loosen the Local Radio Station Ownership Caps in its upcoming Quadrennial Review, history has made clear that such action would substantially reduce competition among AM/FM radio stations and profoundly harm the public interest in allowing radio entities with smaller market shares to effectively compete with their larger counterparts. For this reason musicFIRST and Future of Music Coalition are keenly interested in ensuring that ownership of AM/FM radio is not further deregulated in the U.S. In the wake of the passage of the Telecommunications Act of 1996, larger media companies bought local stations in order to consolidate them into large local clusters to take advantage of economies of scale. As a result, far fewer independent radio owners now operate stations in those markets, and the public interest in diversity, competition and localism of music on the airwaves suffer. Such consolidation also causes homogenization of AM/FM music playlists such that listeners of commercial AM/FM music-driven stations i now hear a substantially less diverse swath of artists and recordings than before consolidation.
