    Is it risky to quit streaming? MeasureCast's latest study

    says overall Internet listening grew 2.4% in its latest survey - in the face of hundreds of radio stations pulling their audio streams because of the twin fears of performance royalties and AFTRA talent fees. Computer users are

    still tuning in - they're just spending time with substitutes. Over at Arbitron Webcast Ratings, Bill Rose says "Streaming is the thing listeners most

    expect when they visit websites. All the research shows that." He claims

    the current standoffs are "a bump in the

    road" that may even speed the maturation of audio streaming. But if former streamers don't get back onto the web - are they running the risk that fickle listeners will get hooked by Internet -only stations? For now, most

    of the early streamers - like ABC and Clear Channel - are still silent.

    DAB may be around the corner. Elevenyears after the Boston

    NAB Radio Show, where DAB looked like The Next Thing, we saw signs at the NAB Spring show in Las Vegas that Digital Audio Broadcasting is gathering real momentum, both at the regulatory level (where Harris ex- pects the FCC to start considering a DAB standard later thisyear), and the technological level (iBiquity Digital

    ran some strong demonstrations on the exhibit floor). Harris commit- ted to building DAB transmitters, and Impulse Radio talks about giv- ing broadcasters a new revenue stream from piggybacking wireless

    data. The NAB says attendance at this year's show was about 112,000 - not a record, but a solid showing.

    The crystal ball is cloudy.

    Even the experts can't divine much "visibility" in their crystal balls, much less a recovery in national advertising. Interep's Ralph Guild tells M Street "I don't see any signs there will be a dramatic comeback" to produce a big second -half rally. The NAB's Eddie Fritts proclaims it "the most difficult advertising market since the late '80s and early '90s." Clear Channel, Hispanic Broadcasting, Regent and others are being very shy about prognosticating into the second part of 2001.

    There are two pieces of good news: #I, First Union analyst lames Boyle says the "comps" or comparable year -earlier figures, get much better for radio in Q3 and Q4. #2, The ad slowdown isn't universal. We've talked to market managers in the midwest who sound downright cheerful.

    The problem markets tend to be the larger markets, and especially those along the East coast. Interep's Ralph Guild says one small- market group "is having a hell of a year nationally ", because they're not exposed to the big- market blues.

    WASHINGTON THIS WEEK

    The Bush FCC is shaping up - very slowly. New Chairman Michael Powell did earn strong

    reviews from his first "Chairman's Breakfast"

    interview in Las Vegas with Sam Donaldson.

    He looks businesslike, market -friendly, but firm

    about abiding by the FCC's rules. Some rules

    he'll be changing as soon as he can, we predict

    (the newspaper- broadcast cross -ownership

    ban). And Powell did earn a strong endorsement from the Bush White House, in

    the form of a nomination for a second full 5-

    year term that should keep him at The Portals

    through June 2007.

    Seven-year FCC Commissioner Susan Ness will pack up by June I. Seven years is a very long tour of duty by today's standards - partly because Senate Commerce Committee Chairman John McCain doesn't think any

    Commissioner should serve more than a single

    5-year term. Michael Copps will eventually

    take Ness' Democratic seat on the FCC - though Bush still hasn't sent the necessary nomination papers to McCain's committee for

    Copps, or the two Republican appointees. Still

    no exit plans announced by the FCC's other

    departing Democrat, Gloria Tristani.

    FCC Chairman Powell will finally get a 2 -I Republican majority when Ness goes. We haven't heard Tristani's position on newspaper -broadcasting cross- ownership. But

    it may not matter in the final tally, with

    Republicans Powell and Harold Furchtgott-

    Roth voting.

    Cross -ownership ban on newspaper - broadcast will be on the FCC's May 10th agenda. Speaking on an NAB panel. Mass

    Media Bureau Chief Roy Stewart says in the

    26years since the ban was instituted "the world

    has changed and there are many more voices"

    in the media. Brokers tell M Street that they're

    expecting a new cadre of potential radio buyers

    to surface very quickly: family -owned media

    companies with deep roots in local and regional

    newspapers. Of course, we could also see the

    larger newspaper chains get interested in radio

    - M Street's even heard speculation about Gannett returning to radio.

    The NAB may have taken some hits on

    membership - but Las Vegas was a sellout. Every square foot of the vast exhibit floor is

    revenue for the NAB. Las Vegas pays for a lot

    of bills at the NAB, even if Viacom/Infinity,

    NBC and Fox have pulled their memberships,

    and Disney /ABC continues to respectfully

    disagree with the TV Board's position on

    ownership caps.

    There seemed to be fewer non - engineering radio managers in Las Vegas, but (as one vendor noted) "good Quality." In

    the mid -1990s the NAB moved the Crystal

    Awards for Community Service out of the Fall

    Radio Show to the Spring Las Vegas show, to

    encourage attendance by radio in Vegas. It's

    hard to tell if that strategy has boosted attendance.

  • THE TAYLOR REPORT

    "Census" - It's every Hispanic GM's favorite word. Arbitron will begin filtering in the new 2000 U.S. Census data effective with the Fall 2001

    book. and that's going to change the perspective of many operators and media buyers. The Census showed an

    average 13% jump in the number of Hispanics ii the U.S. since 1990, and some markets are going to be very surprised. Speaking of Spanish, Arbitron's going to be asking an important new question of diarykeepers beginning with the Winter 2002 survey - doing what researchers call "language enumeration" during the placement interview. M Street was checking out rumors that Arbitron's decided to go to "language weighting" - making sure the in -tab sample conforms to the population, and weighting the sample up or down to fit. That would be a big methodological

    change, and Arbitron says it hasn't made any decisions on weighting.

    With hundreds of new Low Power FMs being created, finding the call letters you want has gotten harder. The first batch of 25 granted CPs is just the start, and we're sure the Good

    News Church of Augusta, GA will start looking for Good Call Letters. Some broadcasters have already found that the U.S. Coast Guard owns call signs

    they'd like to have (that happened to Cox in Houston last year). Now a desired set of calls may belong to a

    Calvary Chapel Church and its new

    100 -watt LPFM.

    Mel Karmazin always says "they can't put cable into the car ", to explain why radio is such a great mobile medium. Well, they can't put cable in yet - but GM -owned OnStar will be able to deliver audio content from the Wall Street journal and Dow

    Jones (for a fee). And we believe that's

    only scratching the surface of the telematics- delivered information that drivers will have to choose from in the next few years. And the Dow features

    offered by OnStar will be available hands -free -by voice commands.

    Adult standards is in for tough sledding: Crawford bumped it to a lesser facility in the Denver market, Clear Channel's WGAY (1260) is gone

    from the D.C. market, and New York's

    WQEW is still merrily running Radio Disney instead of Frank Sinatra and Ella Fitzgerald, with no replacement in sight. We're not saying the format is

    disappearing, but like classical music,

    it's often being shuttled onto less - available facilities. Non -coms have stepped up to claim classical in some

    markets (like Denver), but adult standards may have a more difficult time finding a new home in some places. We expect the satellite services (Sirius and XM) will try to capitalize on the lack of availability of formats like

    classical and adult standards. All the Sinatra you want - for $9.95 a month.

    Klotz Digital buys audio mixer Graham -Patten, as one of the engineering- related deals announced at

    NAB 2001. This one brings Klotz Digital the manufacturer of the Emmy- winning D /ESAM digital edit suite mixer.

    Harris acquires European digital transmitter -maker Hirschmann MCN. That positions Harris to service the European- standard digital radio and TV market - which Harris estimates will top $1 billion in sales over the next 10 years. Hirschmann MCN is a division of Hirschmann Austria.

    No Marconis for Infinity stations thisyear. It's just begun hitting some Infinity managers that Viacom's pullout from the NAB means they're no longer

    eligible to compete in the Marconi best - of competition, where the winners will be announced at the NAB Radio Show

    in New Orleans. Only NAB members

    can vote for the annual Marconis, and

    only NAB member stations can receive

    the award. Lastyear's Marconi winners

    included several Infinity stations, and WOMC, Detroit hauled home two Marconis.

    When foced with moving seven major radio stations into one consolidated facility, we suddenly realized the limitctions of using a conventional analog approach," says Jan Chadwell, AM Chief Engineer, Clear Channel Denver. ' KLOTZ provided the solution with their digital consoles and VADIS platform. We were able to consolidate the majority of the sources and destinations in one large master rack room."

    Deal flow is at a trickle

    Heck, the Weather Service could almost declare a drought. Broker

    Doug Ferber tells this joke to would -be station sellers: "If you find a buyer - tackle him." There are deals getting done in some special situations: Greater

    Media is acquiring the 4 stations of New Jersey Broadcasting in a surprise move

    between two privately -held companies.

    Ed Atsinger at Salem is methodically

    adding stations in small bites (paying $9M for John Douglas' KBZS at 1220

    KHz for a third facility in San Francisco). Regent is buying Bud Walters' cluster in

    Peoria for $20M. Theoretically, Alan

    Greenspan's continued interest -rate cutting should help: analysts consider radio a rate -sensitive industry, and when

    radio companies' stock prices are trending up, they're more inclined to

    think about acquisitions. But stock prices are in the doldrums along with

    station prices. Going into 2001, everybody talked about this being "the

    year of the operator ", not the consolidator and how right they were.

    The recovery will be gradual No "snapback" in the second

    half. M Street has reviewed all the QI

    statements and the guidance going forward. The roaring second -half recovery people were expecting just a

    couple of months ago will not materialize.

    One sign is the very fragile TV

    "upfront" selling season that's underway now. The upfront is important to radio

    because dollars that don't get committed there because of high prices often wind up in radio. Group execs

    continue to be very conservative with 2001 expectations and have re -done

    budgets again and again. Even Viacom's

    Mel Karmazin has been quiet lately, an

    unusual sign. Revenues and business

    will get better but gradually.

    Get ready to explain satellite radio toyour customers

    It's coming and soon, even if Sirius is hamstrung by slow deliveries of receivers (and is raising its subscription

    price from $9.95 a month to ogismio% $12.95). XM was there for 00101 the May 17 Grand Opening #111114

    of Nashville's Country )(AA Music Hall of Fame and Museum and will produce at least 5 hours a day of programming from the Hall. And XM

    finally succeeded in getting its second satellite ( "Roll ") into orbit and functioning.

    M Street notes a continuing fascination in the consumer press (newspaper, magazines) with satellite radio, as an alternative to local broadcasting choices. So our advice is:

    Make sure everybody on your staff is fully briefed on satellite radio, and can discuss

    it knowledgeably when the subject comes

    up in sales calls and other interactions.

    Satellite radio won't be a commercial threat

    for a long, long time if ever. But its "buzz value" is as high as one of those satellites.

    WASHINGTON THIS WEEK

    The FCC postpones dealing with the newspaper -broadcast cross -ownership rule. Less than 24 hours before the May IO monthly

    meeting, Chairman Michael Powell yanked the

    issue from the agenda. We

    believe that at the last minute, Powell couldn't get Democratic Commissioners

    Gloria Tristani and Susan Ness on board for some of the language he wanted in

    the Notice of Proposed p Chairman Powell Rulemaking. Fletcher, Heald & Hildreth attorney

    Harry Martin tells M Street "this is a very controversial issue, and there are many powerful

    forces on both sides of it." Both the NAB and the newspaper publishers strongly favor repealing the 26-year-old rule. But they face

    opposition. The Commission could still launch

    the NPRM "on circulation ", before the next scheduled monthly meeting on June 20. But

    Powell's got time on his side: He'll soon have a

    Republican majority on the Commission, instead

    of the 2 -2 stalemate.

    Moving Day on the 8th floor at the FCC. 7-year Commissioner Susan Ness is ready to hit the "down" button on the elevator and make way for new Democratic Commissioner Michael Copps. Harold Furchtgott -Roth is packing up,

    too. While new Republican Commissioners Kevin Martin and Kathleen Abernathy are ready

    to set up shop. Watch for news about their key staff appointments, and soon. It can't come

    soon enough for Chairman Michael Powell, who's chafing to get his Republican majority in

    place so he can move on issues like the newspaper -broadcast cross -ownership ban.

    The forecast is for more enforcement. More FCC fines for peeling paint on towers, EAS violations, on -air indecency, unauthorized transfer of control all the things the FCC has traditionally issued NALs for. But - more of them. A veteran Washington communications attorney grumbles that "now that there's a

    separate Enforcement Bureau, it's going to make

    sure and justify its existence, like any bureaucracy." He's seeing more and more fines

    from the Commission and while it's good for

    his legal practice, its a real nuisance for station operators.

    Former Chairman Bill Kennard continues to cash in. Showing that yes, even regulation - minded Democrats can make big money (and

    wield influence) in their life after the Commission. For Kennard, the first move was

    joining the board of PDA manufacturer Handspring. Then a major

    score joining the D.C. - based investment super-

    group named the Carlyle

    Group, which boasts heavyweights like former President George Bush.

    Now Kennard agrees to join the board of the New York Times, which owns radio and TV stations

    along with the Boston Globe and the flagship

    Times. Kennard's still way behind his predecessor, Reed Hundt, who's joining the board of chipmaking giant Intel. We'll be watching the next moves of departing Commissioner Susan Ness: She, too, could be

    on the way to the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

    successes like Bob & Tom, John Boy & Billy, Tom Joyner and Doug Banks have been joined by Rick & Bubba, Lex & Terry, Bob & Sheri, and now Charlotte - based Ace & T.J. The latest is that Premiere has signed KOBE -based Bob

    Tepper, and the supply of ready -made morning shows on the shelf grows again. Ifyou're an aspiring morning talent,you might start thinking twice about your prospects. Case in point: Ousted WWIN -FM, Baltimore morning personality Randy Dennis lost his job to ABC's Tom Joyner, then lost again in court when he tried to break his 50- mile non -compete with Radio One. Dennis tells the Baltimore Sun "Right now I'm a little gun -shy (about working in radio), especially when they talk about moving. I don't want to become a statistic to Tom Joyner again."

    Pay attention to ABC's station -by- station return to streaming: Because it's worried about both independent - label music fees and international rights. That's why ABC is methodically working on an ad- insertion solution that allows "gating" to would -be listeners outside the U.S., and also recognition of small-

    label, unlicensed tunes. ABC Radio EVP/New Media Geoff Rich is building on a new insertion and substitution solution with Canada's Media Touch/ OMT. It's a collaborative effort: RealNetworks will be the distributive network, supplying bandwidth and actually sending out the programming.

    Goodbye, Bruce. Yes, Bruce Williams and syndicator Westwood are finally parting ways, though we expect word about a new syndication deal for the pioneering advice -giver any second now. Bruce's

    early -evening show has been a staple

    on talk stations since the 1980s - but it lacked major- market clearances, and that's what Westwood needed. Meanwhile, Westwood's Joel Hollander does re -sign Bruce's stablemate, Jim Bohannon, to a new 3-year contract. As for Bruce, we'll say what he himself might say: Good luck, tiger.

    Arbitron had a good year last year: Revenue topped $200 million for the first time in 2000. Here's more from Arbitron's recent proxy to shareholders leading up to the May 30 annual meeting: 1998 revenues were $174M. 1999 revs were $190M. Year - 2000 revs were $207M. Arbitron mentions the contract impasse with its largest customer, Clear Channel, but reveals nothing new. Ever wondered

    how many people work at Arbitron? The most recent tally is 656 full- timers in the U.S., plus another 347 part- timers.

    As for executive salaries, CEO Steve Morris is doing okay. As the head of the newly- independent Arbitron, Morris gets a pay hike from a base salary of $329,992 in 2000 (plus $288,988 in bonus), to $435,000 in base salary plus a "target annual bonus percentage" of another 70 %. Potential total: $740,000, plus a nice parachute in case the company gets sold.

    Salem continues to consolidate in the syndication world by acquiring Dame -Gallagher. Mike Gallagher's talkshow adds another "family- friendly" show to Greg Anderson's stable at Salem Radio Network. Actually, it's more than just Mike Gallagher's daily gabfest. Dame - Gallagher shows include "Online Tonight with David Lawrence" and "CopNet: The Police Radio Network." Salem says Mike Gallagher's show clears

    on more than 190 stations and has a listenership of 2,250,000. Salem will keep D -G's New York office. Salem's own lineup of conservative talkshow hosts includes Michael Medved, Dennis

    Prager, Hugh Hewitt and Janet Parshall.
