Well the day finally arrived when Sirius XM’s (NASDAQ:SIRI) Howard Stern debuted as a judge on the hit television show America’s Got Talent. What an opportunity for Sirius XM. Actually it is an opportunity LOST! Instead of Sirius XM putting together an advertising spot and letting a whole new audience know that Howard Stern is on the Sirius XM channels we saw the exact opposite. Sirius XM did not advertise at all on the 2 hour premier of America’s Got Talent. Instead, the folks at NBC Universal, the network that airs AGT, have had the forethought to buy advertising…

Radio Sellers and Programmers are finally on the Same Side
Mark Ramsey Media LLC15 May 2012 | 7:00 amValue to clients is about more than running ads. And value to consumers is about more than simply playing music. That’s the new world of radio today. No longer is there a “sales side” or a “programming side.” Nowadays there’s only one “side” and it’s the “value side.” Value to clients and consumers at the very same time – mediated by your brand. In the digital space, its all about value – not about interruptive ads stuck in the middle of valued content. In many ways, the client’s content IS the valued… -
Scale: It’s Easier to Have than to Get
Mark Ramsey Media LLC14 May 2012 | 5:55 pmA recent Mediapost piece commented on the inevitable consolidation of players in the every-day-a-new-entrant social TV space. This is the ecosystem surrounding your favorite shows and fresh ways to interact with them and with your friends in their presence via second screen digital platforms. The whole notion of social interactions surrounding entertainment brands is something I have been talking about for some time, and it remains an area relatively unexplored by radio broadcasters. But the Mediapost piece makes an important point: Viewers need clear locations to get their social TV media… -

Do People Really REALLY want FM on their Mobile Phones?
9 May 2012 | 7:35 amAnother study from NAB has been issued which supports the notion that consumers want FM on their mobile phones. And, like all studies about what people WILL do rather than what they HAVE DONE in the past, it’s flawed. You can ask people what they value and what they have done and they will give you an answer that represents their best frame on reality. But ask them what they intend to have for breakfast tomorrow morning if the moon is in the seventh house and Jupiter aligns with Mars, and their answer will be far less predictive of actual behavior. The NAB study asked some interesting… -
Pandora: Internet Radio Growth coming from AM/FM

Let’s be frank: Of course some Internet radio growth will come from radio. Maybe most of it will come from radio. And it will not stop people from listening to the radio. Rather, it will shave away quarter-hours from radio, just as every other entertainment… -
Target’s Dilemma Shows the Way for Radio

Like radio, Target has a wide array of items, together aimed at a broad-based, massive audience. Like radio, Target is suffering from a million tiny cuts as Internet options eat into their business with lower pricing or greater selection (i.e., in the radio context, greater value). Like radio, Target is a trusted brand that includes human-to-human interaction. Like radio, Target lives in your local market. So why is Target discontinuing Amazon’s…

A broker looks back at the NAB Show
3 May 2012 | 2:33 pmNow that a couple of weeks have passed since returning from the NAB Show in Las Vegas (and I have finally caught up from being away!), I would like to share a few thoughts from the convention.

In actuality, we see very little of the convention. Our time is spent in our suite in non-stop meetings with station buyers, sellers, lenders, and investors. And since MSG is a national firm, we meet with clients and customers from all… -

Copyrights and the Internet: Where are things going?

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… -
