  • The Upside-Down World of Public Radio Funding

    mramsey1@ix.netcom.com (Mark Ramsey)
    27 Jan 2012 | 8:39 am
    Once upon a time “NPR” stood for “National Public Radio,” and the “radio” in NPR was the exclusive means of distributing the network’s content. This was an era when stations would solicit funds from listeners to support this and other programming and send a big chunk of those funds back to the network. That was then, this is now. Today, radio is not the distribution channel for NPR content, it is simply another distribution channel for that content (albeit the most important one).  Yet the funding equation works precisely the same way, and…

  • Gordon Borrell on Radio’s “Miserable” Digital Sales Progress

    mramsey1@ix.netcom.com (Mark Ramsey)
    25 Jan 2012 | 6:32 pm
    Gordon Borrell is a fan of radio, but not of radio’s performance on the digital sales front. How are radio’s digital selling efforts different from those of other media platforms? It turns out they differ quite a lot. It’s a sad thing, says Borrell, and radio is on the verge of “blowing it.” You need to go to the highest level in the organization, says Borrell, to make the investments required to keep radio healthy for the long run. Watch this conversation with Gordon Borrell.  In it, he explains how radio’s potential is great, but how it’s at risk.

  • Pandora at 125 Million

    mramsey1@ix.netcom.com (Mark Ramsey)
    18 Jan 2012 | 12:30 pm
    No matter how many or how few listeners are tuned to Pandora at any given moment, 125 million registered users is a whole lot. Think of the registered user count as analogous to the number of people who own radios.  Owning a radio is being “registered to use” radio.  While the Pandora numbers fall far short of radio’s “registered” distribution, the numbers move closer by the day. It seems obvious to me that Pandora will become an increasingly attractive alternative for radio’s traditional advertisers as radio’s reach advantage continues to diminish.

    It was the best ratings debut for a new series in the history of Animal Planet. And the name of the show was Hillbilly Handfishin’. In the ocean of choices on cable TV, how does one series stand out from the rest, particularly if folks are making their viewing choices from an on-screen guide? The answer:  Start with a great title. How do you prove that?  ”I don’t have to,” says Animal Planet’s president Marjorie Kaplan in Fast Company: Just say it three times and it’s true.  In a world where people are scrolling through [programming guides] and you never…

  • What’s Driving Internet Radio

    Jennifer Lane
    26 Jan 2012 | 7:55 am
    “In the not-too-distant future, a car with a radio that receives only AM or FM will qualify as an antique.” So says a WSJ article covering a new study released by Deloitte on Generation Y’s automotive buying power and preferences. The study finds that 59% of 19 to 31 year olds place in-car connectivity as the top interior feature when shopping for a new car. This year one out of every four persons in that age group will buy a new car, almost half of them will purchase new or used in the next two years. That’s driving heavy interest in tuners and platforms that are app…

    I do not know how much more blunt I can be, but the truth needs to be spoken, and consumers deserve much better than they are getting.  Sirius XM (NASDAQ:SIRI) can have the best content on earth, but a poorly working app is no way to deliver it.  How is it that a company bringing in hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue can not get an Android app to work correctly when all of their competition can. About a month ago Sirius XM updated their iPhone app to include Satellite Radio 2.0 channels and features, yet somehow this company has ignored the largest and fastest growing smartphone…

  • Morgan Stanley Changes Rating On Sirius XM

    Spencer
    23 Jan 2012 | 2:17 pm
    The news hit the wires this morning, and some Sirius XM (NASDAQ:SIRI) investors may be somewhat frustrated.  Morgan Stanley has “Downgraded Sirius XM From Overweight to Equal Weight”.  This new opinion by Morgan Stanley joins recent news from Citigroup, which initiated coverage with a $2.20 price target, and Barrington Research with a $3.00 price target.  Obviously there is a wide range of opinion on this equity.  The question is why is the range so wide. Before going any further it is important to note that Morgan Stanley raised their price target to $2.3o from $2.00.  It…

    With more than 125 million registered users listening for 18 hours a month, Pandora now has 68% market share of the crowded internet radio space. What might come as a surprise is that the internet radio giant has quietly worked partnerships with 16 automotive brands. Jessica Steel, EVP of business says “the car is one of the most popular venues for radio” and because of that Pandora is now working with a long list of manufacturers including BMW, MINI, Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, GMC, Acura, Honda, Hyundai, Kia, Ford, Lincoln, Mercedes-Benz, Lexus, Toyota, and Scion. In addition to the OEM…

    If we learned anything when Sirius XM’s (NASDAQ:SIRI) Mel Karmazin announced the subscriber numbers early in January, it was that it is likely the used car market that is finally beginning to pay off.  Certainly the company garners the bulk of their subscriptions from the new car market, but the used car market is finally the next catalyst for growth. During the fourth quarter there was nothing substantial or amazing about the sales and production figures.  In fact,  the leading (subscribers at production), and point of sale categories were both off from the high-point delivered in…

    My dad grew up in a community in Arkansas that is still reached by driving seven miles on a dirt road off a two-lane blacktop. He attended a one-room schoolhouse that is still standing and joined the military as soon as he was old enough. Every summer, when I was a kid, we drove 500 miles or so to visit the folks. Except for the long drive, it was fun because they lived like old-time cowboys – no electricity, no plumbing, no milk delivery. My mom took a lot of naps, but I helped my grandmother feed chickens and collect eggs, pick just enough vegetables from the garden for dinner (lunch)…

    It has been a few weeks with a lot of buzz around copyrights and the Internet. Many of us have read about SOPA and/or PIPA, and as many people asked us about our opinion, we wanted to share it. We believe in copyrights, and the right anyone has to receive royalties for work they’ve done: sound, video, literature or any kind of expression of art or science, among others. We also truly believe in freedom, the total absence of coercion, as the ultimate expression of human development, and how it is non-negotiable. And we also believe in balance, and when we say balance, we mean a solution…

    Over the past year we’ve noticed a very important increase in mobile browser users, specifically on the Android platform.  We thought, how could we cater to these users?  While obviously an Android app would probably do the trick, the truth is that given how mobile has evolved – and is evolving – then it might be simpler for us and for users to be able to interact with a mobile-friendly version of our site. So, we started experimenting. One interesting fact is that many of our mobile users tune in via the radio station profiles, so we decided to start there and adapt these…
