  • When Being No. 1 Is Not Enough
    A Report Prepared by the Civil Rights Forum on Communications Policy When Being No. 1 Is Not Enough: The Impact of Advertising Practices On Minority- Owned & Minority-Formatted Broadcast Stations Kofi Asiedu Ofori Principal Investigator submitted to the Office of Communications Business Opportunities Federal Communications Commission Washington, D.C. All Rights Reserved to the Civil Rights Forum on Communications Policy a project of the Tides Center Synopsis As part of its mandate to identify and eliminate market entry barriers for small businesses under Section 257 of the Telecommunications Act of 1996, the Federal Communications Commission chartered this study to investigate practices in the advertising industry that pose potential barriers to competition in the broadcast marketplace. The study focuses on practices called "no Urban/Spanish dictates" (i.e. the practice of not advertising on stations that target programming to ethnic/racial minorities) and "minority discounts" (i.e. the practice of paying minority- formatted radio stations less than what is paid to general market stations with comparable audience size). The study consists of a qualitative and a quantitative analysis of these practices. Based upon comparisons of nationwide data, the study indicates that stations that target programming to minority listeners are unable to earn as much revenue per listener as stations that air general market programming. The quantitative analysis also suggests that minority-owned radio stations earn less revenues per listener than majority broadcasters that own a comparable number of stations nationwide. These disparities in advertising performance may be attributed to a variety of factors including economic efficiencies derived from common ownership, assessments of listener income and spending patterns, or ethnic/racial stereotypes that influence the media buying process.

    Mount Rushmore: The Rise of Talk Radio and Its Impact on Politics and Public Policy Brian Asher Rosenwald Wynnewood, PA Master of Arts, University of Virginia, 2009 Bachelor of Arts, University of Pennsylvania, 2006 A Dissertation presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Virginia August, 2015 !1 © Copyright 2015 by Brian Asher Rosenwald All Rights Reserved August 2015 !2 Acknowledgements I am deeply indebted to the many people without whom this project would not have been possible. First, a huge thank you to the more than two hundred and twenty five people from the radio and political worlds who graciously took time from their busy schedules to answer my questions. Some of them put up with repeated follow ups and nagging emails as I tried to develop an understanding of the business and its political implications. They allowed me to keep most things on the record, and provided me with an understanding that simply would not have been possible without their participation. When I began this project, I never imagined that I would interview anywhere near this many people, but now, almost five years later, I cannot imagine the project without the information gleaned from these invaluable interviews. I have been fortunate enough to receive fellowships from the Fox Leadership Program at the University of Pennsylvania and the Corcoran Department of History at the University of Virginia, which made it far easier to complete this dissertation. I am grateful to be a part of the Fox family, both because of the great work that the program does, but also because of the terrific people who work at Fox.

Renowned lighting designer Marc Brickman has created the holiday spectacle that will premiere on December 19 and will be synced live each night at 7 p.m. ET on iHeartMedia New York’s Z100 and 106.7 Lite fm through December 25. Stefani recently visited the Empire State Building to “flip the switch” at a lighting ceremony in the ESB’s famed Fifth Avenue lobby. The event kicked off “ESB Unwrapped,” a season-long celebration that features stunning holiday decorations in the ESB’s Fifth Avenue windows and Art Deco lobby, surprise appearances by celebrities, a pianist playing a selection of holiday favorites and festive holiday light shows. “I love New York, and I love Christmas, so this is beyond a dream come true,” said Gwen Stefani. “I can’t believe that I get to be a part of the holiday light show with a song that Blake Shelton and I wrote together and that it’s going to be choreographed to the lights of this amazing, legendary building.” “There is no doubt that this year’s holiday music-to-light show will be the best yet,” said Anthony E.

(“Clear Channel”) is one of the world’s leading media and entertainment companies and is the licensee of locally-programmed and locally- oriented radio and television stations that are dedicated to serving communities across the United States. Clear Channel has been able to expand its ability to deliver superior service to the public in part as a result of the deregulatory changes to the local radio ownership rule that Congress mandated in the Telecommunications Act of 1996 (“1996 Act”). These changes were a result of Congress’ recognition of the growing rivalry that terrestrial broadcasters faced at the time of the 1996 Act’s passage, and the fact that regulatory relief would aid the industry in its quest to remain competitive.
