The fol- lowing day, enjoy more gratis events in that very same location. HOLIDAY POPS (refer to listing, page 15): The fun at Symphony Hall continues post-Christmas with a New Year’s Eve performance at 10 p.m.—which includes appearances from special guests as well as a cash bar and several dining options—from the beloved Boston Pops Orchestra. BOSTON BAROQUE (refer to listing, page 29): The acclaimed ensemble comes to Harvard Square, serving up Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto No. 1 and Handel’s Water Music wrapped around an inter- mission featuring champagne and chocolates. TOP OF THE HUB (refer to listing, pages 18 & 52): Always a grand affair, the black-tie gala (two seatings are available) at this high-flying Back Bay restaurant boasts an exquisite multi-course meal, live music and dancing, not to mention sweeping views of the nearby fireworks. KINGS (refer to listing, page 15): A Willy Wonka theme dominates at this adult playground that features bowling, billiards and more, so make your reservations for either a family-friendly afternoon session or a late-night slot for ringing in 2018 with flair to spare—pun intended. —Scott Roberto BOSTONGUIDE.COM 5 A HOLIDAY FEAST, ITALIAN-STYLE Eating a multi-course fish dinner on Christmas Eve is a long-standing tradition in many households in southern Italy and Sicily, so it’s no surprise that the very Italian North End of Boston is one of the best places to participate in this elaborate indulgence. Seafood specialist Il Molo (326 Commercial St., 857-277-1895, ilmoloboston.com) is preparing its own version of the so-called “Feast of the Seven Fishes” from December 18–24, featuring an a la carte menu from chef Pino Maffeo that is headlined by such dishes as spicy lobster fra diavolo, baccala (salt cod), stuffed cuttlefish, baked clams, branzino (pictured) and stuffed lobster. Served between 4–8 p.m., this cornucopia of fresh ocean offerings is accompanied by a complimentary dessert—struffoli, a fried dough confection tossed with honey and sprinkles—providing a sweet ending to a satisfying meal. WHAT BOSTON’S BUZZING ABOUT 12.18.17 SMOKIN’ HOT Although chef Andy Husbands of the South End’s Tremont 647 fame has been an award-winning barbecue pitmaster for years, he didn’t open his first proper tribute to juicy, slow-cooked meat until Kendall Square’s The Smoke Shop (thesmokeshopbbq. com) debuted in 2016. When the popular Tavern Road restaurant closed this past summer, Husbands wasted no time in filling that space (343 Congress St., 617-261-RIBS) in Boston’s Fort Point neighborhood with the second iteration of his acclaimed eatery. Expect the usual mouth-watering platters of ribs, brisket, pulled pork, savory sides and extensive whiskey selection, along with a few surprises unique to what is sure to be an area hot spot. 6 PANORAMA HUBBUB FROM BOSTON AND BEYOND Boston-based photographer Nicholas Nixon has been a renowned figure on the art scene since the 1970s, helping to revive an interest in large-format photography in the U.S. Focusing on personal subjects close to home as well as tackling more universal concerns like the AIDS epidemic, Nixon has amassed an impressive body of work, much of which is on display at the Persistence of Vision exhibit at the Institute of Contemporary Art (refer to listing, page 21). Witness the passage of time through his lens, whether it’s his annual portraits of his wife and her sisters—an ongoing project since 1975 that is presented in its entirety—or the changing streets of the city, all in glorious black and white. MESOPOTAMIAN MASTERPIECES On December 16, the venerable Harvard Semitic Museum (6 Divinity Ave., Cambridge, 617-495-4631, semiticmuseum.fas. harvard.edu) unveiled a re-imagined third floor gallery with the exhibit From Stone to Silicone: Recasting Mesopotamian Wall Carvings, presenting painstakingly re-created casts of some of the most significant works of art from ancient Iraq. Replacing the more-than-century-old, deteriorating casts acquired from European museums at the end of the 19th century, these new, durable reliefs echoing those commissioned by Assyrian kings Assurnasirpal II (883–859 B.C.) and Assurbanipal (668–627 B.C.) give viewers a rare glimpse into the propaganda machines of Middle Eastern rulers from thousands of years ago. Absent of visiting the originals in London’s British Museum, this may be the best way to get an up-close look at life in the ancient world. SALT OF THE EARTH Blue-haired celebrity chef Jason Santos may have first emerged on the national scene as a “Hell’s Kitchen” contestant, yet he has solidified his reputation through several successful local restaurant ventures. His latest offering,Citrus & Salt (142 Berkeley St., 617-424-6711, citrusandsaltboston.com), takes a different approach than Santos’ Back Bay Harry’s, a something- for-everyone American tavern that was previously at the same address. Instead of burgers, pizza and wings, Santos is now dishing out Mexican/Californian coastal fare, along with plenty of tropical-flavored margaritas and an eclectic decor inspired by the beach as well as Mexico’s Day of the Dead. —Scott Roberto TOP PHOTO: NICHOLAS NIXON, VIEW OF BOSTON COMMON, 2002; MIDDLE PHOTO: © PRESIDENT AND FELLOWS OF HARVARD COLLEGE BOSTONGUIDE.COM 7 HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE THE HOLIDAY SEASON IS HERE, AND THAT MEANS A LOT MORE THAN INCREASED Santa Claus sightings and the proliferation of twinkling lights.

  • Where to Go When Ya Gotta Go: the Best Public Restrooms That Boston
    Where to go when ya gotta go: The best public restrooms that Boston has to offer One of the perils of touring around a city is trying to find conveniently located bathrooms. While there is always a McDonald’s or Burger King, most fast food emporiums insist you be a customer and even then you have to request somebody to unlock the door. Regular restaurants aren’t very happy either having tourists tromp through their dining establishment. So it’s always good to know where any public restrooms are located so you can better plan your journey. As a public service, here’s a list of Boston’s better placed FREE public restrooms. The Boston Public Library on Dartmouth Street in Copley Square. Enter the main building, go by the security equipment and check-in desk, take a left before the stairs and follow the signs (which will direct you to take a right at the end of the corridor and then a left), Check out the lions guarding the elegant stairway going up to the main reading rooms. After the pressure is off, take a walk through the lovely center courtyard. Of course, if you’re lucky enough to be staying in one of Copley Square’s great hotels – like the Marriott Copley Place, Westin Copley Place, The Lenox or Fairmount Copley Plaza - you only need to go there to appreciate the architecture. Open 9 AM – 5 PM Monday-Saturday (longer during the summer) and 1 PM – 5 PM Sundays. The “New” State House on Beacon Street atop Beacon Hill.

  • Three Years After the FCC Slapped
    800.275.2840 MORE NEWS» insideradio.com THE MOST TRUSTED NEWS IN RADIO WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 21, 2015 Christmas format rode higher ratings wave in 2014. Santa spiked the holiday punch bowl with a little more ratings juice in 2014. The average Christmas station notched a 9.6 share in the 6+ demo in Nielsen’s Holiday 2014 survey, up a full share from 2013’s 8.6. The numbers reflect the 11 stations in non-embedded Day One PPM markets that went all-Christmas in 2014 and 2013. Of them, nine posted a higher 6+ share in 2014, two held steady and none declined. With the majority of PPM ratings not coming until later this week, it’s too early to know if the higher trend will hold up across all PPM markets. One likely reason for the bigger bump is that the 2014 survey, which covered December 4-31, reflected one more day of Christmas programming than in 2013. Some of the increases were dramatic, putting on ice, for now, the notion that the seasonal format has peaked. Holiday ratings for iHeartMedia AC “93.9 My FM” WLIT, Chicago were 24% higher than in 2013 (11.6-14.2). What’s more, the station nearly doubled its December share. WLIT wasn’t alone in posting double-digit, year-over-year holiday ratings gains: CBS Radio’s classic hits KLUV, Dallas (98.7) padded its share by 22% (7.2-8.8) while Entercom AC KOIT, San Francisco (96.5) grew 8.9-10.6, a 19% gain over 2013.

  • ATTACHMENT a the FCC’S Newspaper-Broadcast Cross-Ownership Rule: an Analysis
    ATTACHMENT A The FCC’s Newspaper-Broadcast Cross-Ownership Rule: An Analysis by Douglas Gomery Douglas Gomery is professor of media economics and history in the College of Journalism at the University of Maryland. His most recent book, Who Owns the Media? (with Ben Compaine), won the 2000 Picard Prize for the best media economics book of the year. He has published 10 other books, some 500 articles in scholarly journals and encyclopedias, written a column, “The Economics of Television,” for the American Journalism Review, and consulted for both the Federal Communications Commission and the Government Accounting Office. Acknowledgments. The author wishes to thank Eileen Appelbaum for her skills in fashioning this study, and Marilyn Moon for her help in crafting its arguments and for her inspiration as one of America's best public policy analysts. ECONOMIC POLICY INSTITUTE 1 Introduction In 1975 the Federal Communications Commission initiated the newspaper-broadcast cross- ownership rule, which bars a single company from owning a newspaper and a broadcast station in the same market. The purpose of the rule is to prevent any single corporate entity from becoming too powerful a single voice within a community, and thus the rule seeks to maximize diversity under the conditions dictated by the marketplace. The cross-ownership ban does not prevent a newspaper from owning a broadcast station in another market, and indeed many large newspapers — such as the New York Times and the Washington Post — own and operate broadcast stations outside their flagship cities (Compaine and Gomery 2000). Media organizations have largely opposed the rule since its inception, and their prospects for eliminating or limiting it brightened in 1996, when the new Telecommunications Act directed the FCC to continually review all ownership rules.

  • Monday, April 7, 2014 the MOST TRUSTED NEWS in RADIO
    GET MORE NEWS & UPDATES @ INSIDERADIO.COM >> FRANK SAXE [email protected] >> PAUL HEINE [email protected] (800) 275-2840 Monday, April 7, 2014 THE MOST TRUSTED NEWS IN RADIO Nielsen, CBS complete radio-TV cross-media measurement tests. Radio often gets shortchanged in the complex media mix models used by marketers to allocate millions of ad dollars. What’s being hailed as the first ever proof of concept for combined local TV and radio audience measurement could help level the playing field by providing more accurate data to correctly value the two local media in those models. Using Nielsen’s local TV and audio panels, the company collaborated with CBS to demonstrate the additive power of combining audience data from the broadcaster’s local TV and radio assets. The goal is to build a foundation that measures combined and unduplicated reach across both media. Using October 2013 data from five CBS markets, the tests fused Nielsen Audio’s PPM listening data with Local People Meter television data. Matching consumers across the two panels in each market allowed for modeling cross-platform media consumption. In some cases, using local TV and radio together doubled the reach in certain markets. In the five markets measured, an advertiser could reach anywhere from 84% to 93% of all adults 18+ within a month by leveraging the two media together. Advertisers would be able to see the benefits of combining the buying of these media and dayparts together. For instance, combining TV primetime and late news all week with morning drive radio on weekdays, an news INSIDE>> advertiser could reach 75% of adults 18-49 in Boston within four weeks.
