  • SAGA COMMUNICATIONS, INC. (Exact Name of Registrant As Specified in Its Charter)
    2017 Annual Report 2017 Annual Letter To our fellow shareholders: Every now and then I am introduced to someone who knows, kind of, who I am and what I do and they instinctively ask, ‘‘How are things at Saga?’’ (they pronounce it ‘‘say-gah’’). I am polite and correct their pronunciation (‘‘sah-gah’’) as I am proud of the word and its history. This is usually followed by, ‘‘What is a ‘‘sah-gah?’’ My response is that there are several definitions — a common one from 1857 deems a ‘‘Saga’’ as ‘‘a long, convoluted story.’’ The second one that we prefer is ‘‘an ongoing adventure.’’ That’s what we are. Next they ask, ‘‘What do you do there?’’ (pause, pause). I, too, pause, as by saying my title doesn’t really tell what I do or what Saga does. In essence, I tell them that I am in charge of the wellness of the Company and overseer and polisher of the multiple brands of radio stations that we have. Then comes the question, ‘‘Radio stations are brands?’’ ‘‘Yes,’’ I respond. ‘‘A consistent allusion can become a brand. Each and every one of our radio stations has a created personality that requires ongoing care. That is one of the things that differentiates us from other radio companies.’’ We really care about the identity, ambiance, and mission of each and every station that belongs to Saga. We have radio stations that have been on the air for close to 100 years and we have radio stations that have been created just months ago.

  • SAGA COMMUNICATIONS, INC. (Exact Name of Registrant As Specified in Its Charter)
    2016 Annual Report 2016 Annual Letter To our fellow shareholders: Well…. here we go. This letter is supposed to be my turn to tell you about Saga, but this year is a little different because it involves other people telling you about Saga. The following is a letter sent to the staff at WNOR FM 99 in Norfolk, Virginia. Directly or indirectly, I have been a part of this station for 35+ years. Let me continue this train of thought for a moment or two longer. Saga, through its stockholders, owns WHMP AM and WRSI FM in Northampton, Massachusetts. Let me share an experience that recently occurred there. Our General Manager, Dave Musante, learned about a local grocery/deli called Serio’s that has operated in Northampton for over 70 years. The 3rd generation matriarch had passed over a year ago and her son and daughter were having some difficulties with the store. Dave’s staff came up with the idea of a ‘‘cash mob’’ and went on the air asking people in the community to go to Serio’s from 3 to 5PM on Wednesday and ‘‘buy something.’’ That’s it. Zero dollars to our station. It wasn’t for our benefit. Community outpouring was ‘‘just overwhelming and inspiring’’ and the owner was emotionally overwhelmed by the community outreach. As Dave Musante said in his letter to me, ‘‘It was the right thing to do.’’ Even the local newspaper (and local newspapers never recognize radio) made the story front page above the fold. Permit me to do one or two more examples and then we will get down to business.

  • 2015 Annual Report 2015 Annual Letter to Our Fellow Shareholders
    2015 Annual Report 2015 Annual Letter To our fellow shareholders: Although another year has zoomed by, 2015 seems like it was 2014 all over again. The good news is that we are still here and we have used some of our excess cash for significant and cogent acquisitions. We will get into that shortly, but first a small commercial about broadcasting. I have always, since childhood, been fascinated by magic and magicians. I even remember, very early in my life, reading the magazine PARADE that came with the Sunday newspaper. Inside the back page were small ads that promoted everything from the ‘‘best new rug shampooer’’ to one that seemed to run each week. It was about a three inch ad and the headline always stopped me -- ‘‘MYSTERIES OF THE UNIVERSE REVEALED!’’...Wow... All I had to do was write away and some organization called the Rosicrucian’s would send me a pamphlet and correspondent courses revealing all to me. Well, my mother nixed that idea really fast. It didn’t stop my interest in magic and mysticism. I read all I could about Harry Houdini and, especially, Howard Thurston. Orson Welles called Howard Thurston ‘‘The Master’’ and, though today he is mostly forgotten except among magicians, he was truly a gifted magician and a magical performer. His competitor was Harry Houdini, whose name survived though his magic had a tragic end. If you are interested, you should take some time and research these two performers. In many ways, their magic and their shows tie into what we do today in both radio and TV.

HAT f AND ROSEMARY D. HAI The evils which result from the failure of the competitive mechanismz to oper- ate smoothly and equitably it an imperfect market have given rise to two theoretically distinct bodies of law, one aimed at strengthening the com- petitive forces which drive the self-regulating mechanism, and the other founded on an abandonment of the competitive principle in favor of direct government control. As a rule where industries generally considered "public utilities" are involved, government attitudes and policies have tended toward the latter course. Often, however, elements of both "competiton? and "con- trol" appear it; the pattern of laws applying to a particular utility. This Article explores the phenomenon as it occurs in the field of radio and television broadcasting. The Hales have collaborated on other articles in the field and on a recently published book on market power under the Sherman. Act. STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM In our introductory study' we presented a broad panorama of the application of the antitrust laws to public utilities. We found that in some instances the existence of regulation had given rise to an exemp- tion, express or implicit, from the impact of statutes like the Sherman t A.B., 1935, Yale University; LL.B., 1938, Harvard University; J.S.D., 1940, University of Chicago.

    RADIO PROGRAM CONTROLS: A NETWORK OF INADEQUACY " [Tihe troubles of representative government . go back to a common source: to the failure of self-governing people to trans- cend their casual experience and their prejudice, by inventing, creating, and organizing a machinery of knowledge." t RADIo broadcasting is unique among the media of mass communication in that, while the reach of its facilities is unsurpassed,' their number is limited ultimately by the finite nature of the broadcast spectrum - and not by the availability of finance capital.3 Conditioned in its every aspect by this physical circumscription, national policy toward radio 4 has abandoned the theoretically free competition guaranteed other vehicles of expression 11 and has established a licensing system restricting the number of stations, tNVATE Lipp-mAN, PUBLIC OpiNiox 364-5 (1922). 1.

SIXTEENTH CENSUS, HousINo, Vol. I1, pt. I, p. 28 (1943). The picture is darkened by the fact that 5,575 of the cities of 1,000 or more population have no local stations and, accordingly, can receive only programs broadcast to extensive areas and not aimed at the needs of particular localities. While frequency modulation (FM) makes technically possible indigenous coverage of these communities, construction expense forces the prediction that most small towns will continue to receive only outside treatment of local news.
