Hot Topic - Radio Audience
Broadcasters bank – literally – on the first big audience surveys after the summer break. It’s about the money with media buyers, contemplating the traditional retail season, adjusting their plans. But ratings are like that box of chocolates: you never know what you’re going to get.
Media brand building is more than simply choosing a clever name, not to forget that unique program plan. Legacy brands are stronger than ever. But new brands are quickly populating digital platforms. Once consumers find the addresses, they will either find something they expect or, well, something else.
The verdict was announced 30 years ago when “Video Killed the Radio Star” was the first tune on MTV. If that wasn’t enough, the iPod arrived 10 years ago sending radio broadcasters into a tizzy. The radio medium has been pronounced dead over and over and over again.
It has been a remarkable year for the news media. Local, national and international events of stinging scale have riveted people to media outlets, many rising to the occasion. And everybody just wants to keep on top of it all.
Some broadcasters are rocked by audience ratings. Some just roll with them. The trend points to changes and more changes. It’s best to get used to it.
Competitive markets in times of economic stress face changes galore. Promotion and marketing leaps to attract attention. Formats are born, discarded and born again. Every broadcaster looks for an edge. Then the measurement changes.
With baited breath, broadcasters await survey results, that quarterly panic. Some, typically, are relieved when the day comes and others are relieved from their jobs. Occasionally there’s euphoria. Occasionally there are wobbly feet.
