At the recent NAB/RAB Radio Show in Orlando the man originally behind Citadel, Larry Wilson, returned to the stage as head of his new company, L&L Broadcasting, to offer his thoughts on what needs to change in American radio. He believes strongly that the key to winning is a return to our medium’s greatest strength, which he even named the company after – “L&L” stands for ‘Live and Local’.
He’s been busy buying up radio stations around the country and then using those signals to go back to delivering high quality local content. He feels that voice-tracking will eventually go the way of the Dodo bird and lo and behold he’s been quite successful!
Also on the panel was the CEO of Connoisseur Media, Jeff Warshaw, who also sided with Wilson. “If our product sucks, will that continue? Radio may not be satisfying the people the way that it has been in prior years. We’re running tremendous numbers of commercials. The damage is self-inflicted. Are we willing to ask ourselves, ‘Are we doing a good enough job?’ If we put out crappy programming, we’re destined to be extinct. We must put out fantastic programming and be involved in the community.”
While 20 years of consolidation in the U.S. has dramatically altered the radio landscape in that country and moved the industry so far towards cost-cutting that the whole concept of ‘live and local’ will largely have to be relearned before implemented. On our side of the border regulators never offered us the opportunity at such levels of amalgamation, but that doesn’t mean we should be smug and ‘tut-tut’ our American friends because a large percentage of our own industry has also lost touch with the true concept of ‘live and local’.
In the latest edition of Broadcast Dialogue there’s a great article by Howard Christensen on Jon Pole’s MY Broadcasting group that reinforces that argument. In a decade the company has grown from one station in Renfrew, Ontario to well over a dozen in other small markets throughout the province. MY Broadcasting’s philosophy has always been to embed their stations in the market, while still streamlining elements that don’t have to be local. As such, they have a small staff to broadcast and sell to the community and do the necessary appearances gigs and remotes, etc., while still consolidating things like traffic, production, and accounting. They seem to have struck the correct balance between cost-sharing and effective broadcasting. Mr. Christensen ended his article with a quote from Jon Pole that sums up what MY Broadcasting is all about – “…still providing information and a service to our communities and going out and talking to a guy who owns a shoe store or a grocery store and figuring out how we can help them sell more. I like that our business model is simple.”
MY Broadcasting aren’t the only ones that have managed to thrive in smaller markets, Golden West have been small market experts for decades. However, there are still too many examples of not serving a community in a manner that’s effective long term for a station and an industry. That, by the way, is a concern in not just small, but medium and large markets, as well.
I’ve written numerous times on the importance of being ‘live and local’, but some things can’t be stressed enough. Here, then, are a few ways you can better reduce the ‘distance’ between your station and the community it serves.
Content
I’m not sure I completely agree that we’ll see the end of voice-tracking. It just makes too much sense in certain dayparts, but even if the person on the air isn’t actually in the market, at least have them sound like they are.
Set up a ‘content-pipeline’ for the people doing your VT work. Feed them information or direct them to online sources where they can find things to talk about that are of actual significance to the market. Perishable things like important news items, road closures, and other current events have far greater impact with the local listener than the normal pop-culture drivel heard everywhere. If you give a listener content that can’t be readily accessed everywhere, you will be more relevant to them and your bond with the audience will be stronger.
Observational prep is another excellent way to have your voice-trackers sound as though they live in-market. For the people that are there, dropping an email to a jock to let them know that a new grocery store opened at the corner of Main and First Streets will be appreciated by not only the announcer, but ultimately the listener.
Appearances
Back in my past life when I was still a jock I worked in some pretty small towns with some pretty small staffs. The thing is, though, we were all fairly young and new to the business (which is no different today in ‘starter markets’), so we lived and breathed our jobs and because there wasn’t a whole lot else to do we were always out at events, remotes, bars, whatever.
The point is you don’t need that many people to do the vital work of getting out into the community. You just need the right people. I’ve heard how young people have changed and aren’t as enthusiastic as in previous generations. I don’t really consider myself to be a “back in my day” kind of guy, but I suppose there is a kernel of truth in that sentiment. Nevertheless, the ‘go-getters’ are out there. It just might be a little harder to find them these days. In small markets, make sure you build relationships with instructors at broadcast schools to assist you in hiring the best new broadcasters. In medium markets, have a network of smaller market PD’s. In large markets, it’s important you know everyone!
Finally, use your limited resources wisely. You can’t be at everything or the on-air product will eventually suffer, but you can make appearances at those events where the station receives the greatest exposure. Sending someone to Mrs. McGillicuddy’s Bake Sale Extravaganza probably won’t do a whole lot to raise station exposure (and the jock will probably learn to hate you), but having an on-air employee at the annual fair is worth the time. Work your staff, but don’t wear them out.
Sales
While it’s true that announcers can be effective when out in the community, the station’s real foot soldiers are its sales people. Even if the market is so small that there is only one or two, they will still be the ones that wave the flag daily as per their job description.
In some cases, companies have done away with their local sales staff completely and handle orders over the phone. Instances of that are rare, though, but if you operate that way then at least have one salesperson assigned to visit the market monthly.
These are just 3 quick ways to maximize your ability to be “live and local.” ByrnesMedia has many other ways to assist in this crucial area. Drop us a line anytime toll-free at 1-866-332-1331.
Today marks an evolution in the Niagara radio landscape. That evolution is the
NEW 2day FM on 105.1 and 101.1.
2day FM embraces an on-air, on-line and on-site philosophy. Encompassing one great station on two frequencies, 105.1 & 101.1, the reach of 2day FM has increased to include the entire Niagara Region and Upper New York State. A proven audience now has twice the ability to listen in their homes, in their cars and on-line.
105.1 & 101.1 2day FM is real radio. There’s no over-produced radio hype of other stations. What 2day FM will do is connect the Niagara Region by using social media platforms to allow Niagara and Upper New York State residents to actively “Join the Conversation”.
Vista Radio Ltd. President Geoff Poulton says “2day FM is a unique take on where Vista thinks radio in 2013 should be. 2day FM is highly interactive and will always be great fun to listen to.”
2day FM General Manager Wendy Gray is excited to see 6 weeks of hard work by a new line up of on-air hosts launch on the Niagara radio dial and on-line. “For the first time listeners have an outlet to express themselves about different topics of the real world using Facebook, Twitter and SMS or by calling the 2day studio. We won’t be feeding you what every radio station is, we’ll let the listener drive the 2day FM bus and tell us what you want from us. We are excited to engage a vibrant community and give everyone a voice.”
2Day FM Director of Programming Drew Keith says “Vista radio is excited to introduce 2Day FM to the Niagara Region. Hit music…now on two frequencies. It’s a better way to serve our communities. 2Day FM doesn’t just describe the music played, it describes the type of radio station we are. Listening to 2Day FM you can expect caring and honest hosts, who play really good music with very few commercial interruptions.
Welcome to radio for a new decade – 105.1 and 101.1,2Day FM.”

Peter Menzies, the Vice-Chairman of the C.R.T.C., gave an interesting speech today (23 September) to the annual conference of the Canadian Cable Systems Alliance in Mont-Tremblant, Québec.
The C.R.T.C. will in a few days release the 2013 edition of the Communications Monitoring Report, and Menzies mentioned a few of the statistics from the report to demonstrate just how quickly the world has been changing.
He went on to say, “So we’re looking at a communications environment that is radically different from what it was only ten years ago.”
Later in the speech he made reference to the new border-less world, and how the C.R.T.C. can “no longer define ourselves as gatekeepers in a world in which there may be no gates. We can’t tell Canadians what to watch, nor should we. They are free to enjoy a much wider range of information and entertainment than ever before. And they are.”
He posed the question “How can we (C.R.T.C.) act as an enabler of Canadian expression, rather than as a protector? How can we shift our focus from rules and processes and procedures to actual outcomes? How can we help Canadian creators to take advantage of all the opportunities in the new global environment— one in which the opportunities may exceed the threats? How can we ensure Canadians see their realities, hear voices that are familiar to them and get the information they want and need in the television shows they watch?”
“Our conversation with Canadians will be about the future of television, which is still the medium that Canadians rely on for most of their programming content. But of course we expect that the conversation will go way beyond the familiar box in the living room.”
There appears to be a hint of possible future deregulation, which may allow broacasters to compete on a broader scale. Perhaps in years to come this may include the lifting of the foreign ownership restrictions. You can read Mr. Menzies complete speech here
AM stations have been struggling for years in both Canada and the USA. Signal issues, poor building penetration, greater interference from other electrical equipment, and more people expecting better audio quality than AM can deliver, have all contributed to smaller audiences and lower revenues for AM stations.
At the NAB conference in Orlando this week, the acting FCC Commissioner, Mignon Clyburn, circulated a Notice of Proposed Rule making that, she says, “will represent the next major step in the commission’s review of AM service.” Included in this notice is news that the FCC will be opening a one-time filing window for AM licensees to apply for an FM translator in their service area. That means it’s possible that every AM operator could eventually rebroadcast their programming on an FM translator.
The details are still vague, and frankly, it seems implausible that there could be that many viable FM frequencies available to allow all the AM stations to provide a strong FM signal over their licensed coverage areas.
But if this was to happen in the USA, one wonders how long it would take Industry Canada and the CRTC to also look at offering something similar to the 129 AM stations that continue to operate in Canada. You can read more about this story here thanks to Radio Ink. Perhaps AM owners will be prepared to hang on a little longer in the hopes of getting an FM translator, or at least be able to sell their AM station at a higher price.

As many Canadian broadcasters begin another new financial year, there is some positive news from down under.
Citi Research analysts Justin Diddams and Sudith Devan say “We like Radio as a medium, and more importantly an advertising platform. It’s not the most glamorous of mediums but it continues to deliver results for advertisers, and in the current advertising environment, which is obsessed with measurement and efficiencies, Radio continues to deliver ahead of peers.”
The radio market is “enjoying renewed interest, as it returns to revenue growth in 2013 and continues to outperform traditional media peers.” Radio has outperformed traditional peers over the last five years and is a consistent performer.
The reports about the ‘death of radio’ are greatly exaggerated, says the report. “We’re actually witnessing a period of renaissance for the radio industry, as the platform delivers positive marketing outcomes for advertisers and entertainment for consumers. Radio advertising has actually delivered growth each year since the financial crisis of 2009, outperforming the broader advertising market, and in particular the traditional media players.”
Radio is considered a defensive medium, outperforming in tough economic conditions. “It continues to deliver results for advertisers,” says the report, “with little (or no) structural impacts to audience and advertiser demand, unlike many other mediums.”
The radio market continues to deliver superior earnings, relative to traditional media peers. It is the only traditional media platform which has returned EBITDA margins to historic levels. Citi Research analysed the cost base of radio companies, showing the cost structure of the industry is sustainable. In Australia staff costs are 56%, license fees 10%, Commissions 10%, Rent 6%, marketing 9% and other costs 9%.
The report concludes “While we could never rule out structural changes impacting the radio market, we must stress the demise of the radio industry has been written about for decades. First it was the Eight Track which appeared in the late 1960’s, followed by the Sony Walkman in the 1980’s and then Apple iPods in the 2000’s…. Now, it’s the streaming music platforms Pandora and Spotify which represent the latest threat to commercial radio.”
The report, Entertain Me Issue 11, was published by Citi Research.
Tim Cook and the Apple team announced a new iPhone 5S. today (September 10 2013). The new iPhone 5S will cost $(US)199 for 16 gig, $(US)299 for 32 gig on a two year contract and will be available September 20th if you want to stand in line. Canadian pricing will be announced 11 September. The other phone announced today is a less expensive 5C which is basically the same as the current 5 model but with a plastic case and offered in five colors — green, white, blue, red/pink, and yellow.
The 5S offers a faster processor, better camera and more security via a fingerprint scanner built into the home button. The phone will be 64 bit and offer the updated iOS7 operating system. It includes a motion co-processor chip called the M7 that handles data from the gyroscope, and compass and will enable a new level of fitness apps.
The phone is the same size as the 5, and boasts a better HD camera with better illumination and improved Facetime audio. The battery life offers 10 hours of 3G talk time, 10 hours of LTE browsing, 10 hours of video, 40 hours of music and 250 hours standby, which is about the same as the iPhone5.
Elvis Costello was the surprise music artist who came on stage at the end of the event. He started out playing “What’s so funny about peace, love and understanding.” Then he performed an original version of “Radio, Radio” – a song he wrote wrote before he began his career. However, there was no mention of iTunes radio today, but it is expected to be part of the new iOS7 operating system which will be available at no charge from September 18th. iOS7 will run on the 4S and all the 5 models.
Expect to see increased sales of iPhones and Apple products in general over the coming months, which I think is good news for radio. If the speed, battery life and camera live are as good as they say, and the features promised in the new operating system live up to the hype, then more of your listeners than ever before may experience your radio station via their iPhones. So make sure your website is optimized for mobile and your audio can be consumed via a mobile app.
CHFI holds on at the top of the nation’s largest market and maintain their lead over second place CHUM-FM. CHFI is also the only station over 5 million in cume. The CBC dropped just over a share, but hang onto 3rd. Virgin still lead the other CHR’s with a 6.7, up from 5.9 book to book. Boom had rebounded all the way from the poor showing they had at the start of the year. In that time they have gone from 8th to 5th place. 680 News continue their relevancy. They were flat, but dropped from 4th to 6th. CFRB is hanging in at 7th. Q-107 had a disappointing showing. They drop from a 6.1 to an even 5 and descend 3 market ranks to 8th. The Edge proves that any publicity s good publicity. The morning show’s CBSA run-ins and personnel changes didn’t keep the modern rocker from adding half a share. Kiss was up but is still well behind Virgin.
