Competitive QSRs Add More Radio To 2015 Ad Menu. Brands always battle for greater market share, and radio often plays a key role for companies in highly competitive industries working to get their message out. And for the first nine months of the year, that axiom went double for top quick service restaurants. Other categories that increased their radio advertising, according to spot counts on stations tracked by Media Monitors, include automotive manufacturers and dealers, wireless carriers, insurance companies and auto parts retailers. But QSRs accounted for four of the 12 largest volume increases in ad time, with fast food chain Wendy’s, currently the no. 7 radio advertiser, leading the charge. Wendy’s increased radio ads 62% compared to the same period last year, resulting in the largest growth in its segment and among all radio advertisers. Burger King, the no. 37 heaviest radio advertiser, increased its radio commercial volume 102.4%, while Dunkin Donuts (no. 96) upped ad time 71%, and Taco Bell (no. 23) increased volume 29%. Other fast food chains, including Jack in the Box, Sonic and Jimmy John’s, have similarly boosted radio buys, while heavyweight McDonald’s (no. 4) pulled back slightly, measuring a 2.4% decrease. Meanwhile, automotive, radio’s largest advertising category, is on the upswing as well, with several dealer associations upping radio frequency. Nissan Dealer Association is making an aggressive push, increasing radio ads 257% and rising to no. 44 on the list, while the volume of radio spots from the Honda Dealer Association (no. 32) rose 43%, Toyota Dealer Association (no. 52) climbed 34% and Lexus Dealer Association (no. 111) rose 93%. Among the domestic car companies, Chrysler-Dodge-Jeep (no. 31) increased radio ads 19% and Ford Lincoln Mercury (no. 25) inched up 4%.
Telcos Hit Radio To Help in-Category Growth. It’s hard to find a much more competitive brand category nowadays than telcos, and new radio ad totals, according to spot counts on stations tracked by Media Monitors in the first nine months of 2015, more than support the claim. Several wireless carriers are making a big push in a bid for greater overall numbers, led by the no. 12 radio advertiser Boost Mobile, which increased spot volume 26% over the same period last year. Also rising to meet the challenge through radio—no. 34 radio advertiser Sprint, which is up 39%; and T-Mobile (no. 21), up 24%. However, two wireless giants have actually pulled back on their radio advertising. Radio spots from Verizon Wireless (no. 30) are down 26%, while AT&T Wireless (no. 27) reduced radio ad volume by 25%. Two Comcast divisions are also putting more heft into radio, with the company’s media services arm Xfinity (no. 48) increasing radio spots 53%, compared to last year, and the NBC broadcast network (no. 73) increasing volume by 97%. Several other brands in myriad categories also punched up radio numbers. They include no. 20 overall advertiser Staples, which increased radio spot volume 101%, accounting service provider Optima Tax Relief (no. 35 radio advertiser), up 135%, and credit service solutions firm CreditRepair.com (no. 54), rising 161%.

Holiday Spend To Hit Ho-Ho-Whole New Level. As retailers gear up for holiday shopping season, new data shows consumers are ready to shell out more money on gifts than they have in 14 years—and they’ll be buying less online. The National Retail Federation says holiday spending per person will reach $805.65 this year, with $462.95 allocated for gifts. That’s the highest gift-giving allowance in the time the group has tracked spending. Overall holiday spending is up slightly from last year’s average $802.45 per person, the NRF said. While 46% of consumers say online will factor into their purchases, 52.9% say they’ll purchase from online retailers, down from 56% last year. That marks the first annual decrease in the portion of consumers shopping online, the NRF notes. Mobile shopping, however, is gaining popularity, with 21.4% of smartphone owners saying they’ll buy items on their device, the highest level since the group began asking about mobile shopping in 2011. No doubt, many retailers will likely increase radio advertising outlays in the fourth quarter. In preparation, some retailers, including department stores, discount stores and jewelers, have already upped radio ad frequency. Leading the way, according to tracking of radio spots by Media Monitors, is department giant Macy’s, the no. 10 overall radio advertiser, which increased spot volume 14% from January to September 2015 compared to the same period last year. Jeweler Jared (no. 53) boosted its radio weight 48%; and JCPenney (no. 15) is up 13%. But two notable retailers may be holding their fire until the fourth quarter. While still a major investor in radio, Walmart (no. 55) pulled back considerably on its volume in the first nine months, with total spots down 68%, while Target (no. 297) decreased radio spots by 27%.
John Eck To Head Univision Stations. For a second time in as many months, an upper management shakeup has hit the division that controls Univision Communications’ 67 radio stations. The company has promoted John Eck to chief local media officer with oversight of the Hispanic media company’s television and radio stations. Most recently executive VP of technology, operations and engineering, Eck replaces president of local media Kevin Cuddihy, who has stepped down after 15 months in the position. Eck joined Univision in 2011 with responsibility for its technology, engineering, on-air operations, production and project management functions. Before that he worked at NBCUniversal for 18 years, most recently serving as president of Media Works. In his new position Eck will remain based in New York and continue to report to Univision president & CEO Randy Falco. Eck’s appointment follows the late-September exit of Jaime Jiménez, who oversaw the company’s radio division for three months as executive VP for Univision Local Media. When Jiménez left, an internal company email obtained by Media Moves from Cuddihy said that Univision would be “hiring a VP of radio content in the near future.” In a news release, Falco credited Eck with transforming the company’s operations and technology and “making us a world-class organization.” Calling the company’s 128 TV and radio stations “the ties that bind Univision to Hispanic America,” Falco said Univision has “both a tremendous responsibility and opportunity to do even more to inform and empower our audience on a local level¬—especially leading up to the 2016 election season.”
Web Ad Dollars Hit Historic Heights. Driven by explosive mobile growth, Internet ad revenues in the U.S. rocketed 19% to a landmark high of $27.5 billion in the first half of 2015 compared to one year earlier, according to a report issued Wednesday by the Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB).

Mobile revenues shot up 54% to $8.2 billion in what IAB senior VP of industry services Sherrill Mane called a “still explosive growth rate.” Mobile apps and websites that offer access to audio streams and on-demand content have become a priority for many radio stations and the new IAB numbers show that to be a smart strategy. Mobile now represents 30% of the revenues generated by the entire Internet advertising marketplace, up from 23% one year ago. Digital video, another priority for a growing number of radio broadcasters, hit $2 billion in the first half, a 35% year-over-year jump. “Digital video is one of our key drivers,” Mane said, more than tripling since 2010. Social media revenues reached $4.4 billion in the first half, a 51% hike over the same period in 2014. “Social media is maintaining astoundingly strong growth rates,” Mane said, with an annual growth rate greater than 50% every half-year. Display-related advertising revenues in the first half totaled $6.8 billion, a 5% uptick, accounting for 25% of overall digital ad revenue. And after declining in 2014, online CPMs (cost per thousand) grew to an average $11.67. The same top three ad categories continued to account for nearly half of online ad revenue—retail (22%), financial services (13%) and automotive (13%).
New Encoders Lead to Lift, New Sales Strategies. New enhanced encoders being rolled out in all PPM markets this quarter are expected to cause an average 15% lift in Average Quarter Hour Persons. That may mean higher ratings and a potential revenue rise for some stations, according to a pair of veteran researchers. “This higher reported listening should have an immediate positive impact on revenue,” Charlie Sislen and Marc Greenspan, partners in The Research Director, write in a blog post. “Stations should realize higher AUR [average unite rate] and it will take fewer spots to meet an advertiser’s GRP level.” An AQH Rating increase from 0.3 to 0.4 would allow a station’s average unit rate to increase 33% without a change in cost per point, they contend. To prepare for the change, the researchers suggest broadcasters in PPM markets take three steps: Keep a close eye on how enhanced CBET impacts your ratings. Higher ratings are likely in many dayparts and demos. “An extra keen eye on your pricing strategy and inventory control will allow you to maximize your new ratings,” they say. Be prepared to answer advertisers’ questions. Some clients may see the higher numbers as CBET reporting listening that did not occur and may attempt to reduce cost per points, Sislen and Greenspan warn. “Just the opposite has happened—enhanced CBET is capturing listening that the original CBET was missing,” they suggest, meaning advertisers were getting impressions without paying for them. The bottom line: Get paid for the audience you’re delivering. Re-examine your on-air content. “We now know that some content encodes better than other content,” the researchers say, so consider changes that will help you get credit for your entire audience.
Nielsen’s Audio Biz Makes Big Q3 Bucks. Revenue from Nielsen’s radio measurement business jumped 11% in the third quarter, helping pump up the company’s overall audience measurement dollars by 7%. “I’d love to say I’ve started a new trend,” CFO Jamere Jackson quipped during Nielsen’s quarterly earnings call Wednesday. “The reality is that we benefited from some delivery timing in the quarter,” he said, meaning that ratings payments came due for a higher-than-normal number of its audio measurement clients during the quarter. That double-digit growth will be offset in the fourth quarter, which is expected to be down 3%-4%. Still, Jackson called Nielsen’s Audio business “highly profitable” and forecast low single-digit revenue growth for the full year, along with strong cash flow and “margins that are accretive to the overall Watch business.” What the company calls its “core Watch” segment, which also includes TV measurement and a fast-growing marketing effectiveness business, grew 6.1% in the quarter on a constant currency basis to $715 million. The segment has been up 6% all year.
K2, Ebiquity Help ANA Keep Media Honest. As the Association of National Advertisers pushes for more industry transparency, the trade group is tapping two firms to lead its discovery and fact-finding efforts. K2 Intelligence, an assessment, compliance, and cyber-defense services firm, and Ebiquity/FirmDecisions, a marketing-performance optimization company, will lead the inquiry, which includes investigating alleged agency rebates from media companies and what the ANA calls “demystifying the landscape.” The companies were selected from a pool of 26 firms, and the ANA says they will complement each other. Their work will have multiple stages, and the first will include gathering confidential information from top U.S.

and international media industry executives. The ANA first started investigating media transparency three years ago, when it came to light that some media outlets were giving rebates, or kickbacks, to media agencies based on their spending. A survey of members showed many brands were not aware of the practice in the U.S. media industry. “The essential objective of this project is to elevate trust and confidence throughout the media-buying supply chain,” the ANA said in a statement. Among its objectives, the ANA says it hopes to provide perspective on “non-transparent” practices such as rebates, barter, arbitrage, dark pools, inventory management, global transactions, and supply chain media management, as well as develop solutions and best-practices for the industry going forward.
Four VA Stations Hope To Trump Trump. The Washington, DC Spanish-language radio market is garnering a political ad dollar influx with a campaign taking on Republican frontrunner Donald Trump. The campaign is sponsored by progressive advocacy group People For the American Way. A quartet of Northern Virginia-based stations—Hubbard Broadcasting regional Mexican WBQH (1050), Metro Radio regional Mexican “La Ley” WKDV (1460) and Spanish hits “La Capital 730” WTNT and Signal Above Spanish hits “La Nueva 87.7 “ WDCN-LP—will each run spots at least 10 times per day through Election Day, November 3, as part of the group’s “Latinos Vote!” program. The ads encourage Hispanics to vote in local elections by touting Trump’s anti-immigration stance, with a Spanish-speaking mother telling her daughter that she must vote for Democrats “to shut Trump’s big mouth.” People For the American Way says that among its specific Northern Virginia targets is the District 29 state senate race, an open seat in a swing district that could sway which party controls the state Senate. According to the organization’s coordinator of political campaigns Carlos A. Sanchez, “By highlighting in Spanish how local and national Republican politicians from [former Virginia gubernatorial candidate] Ken Cuccinelli to Donald Trump have demonized immigrants, our ad urges voters to stand up against them by going to the polls.” People For the American Way did not reveal their investment for the radio campaign.
Entercom Sets SC Hip-Hop Battle On The Block. With an HD Radio-fed translator and a heap of hip-hop and R&B hits, Entercom has instigated a battle for African-American listeners in the Greenville-Spartanburg market. “96.3 The Block” launched Wednesday with the now-obligatory 10,000 songs in a row commercial-free set, ending a weeklong spin-the-wheel round of format roulette that stopped on country and adult hits. Airing on Greenville-licensed translator W242BX rebroadcasting the HD-2 channel of Entercom CHR “B 93.7” WFBC-FM, the new station brings the syndicated “Steve Harvey” to the market starting November 2. While the music competes to a degree with Summitmedia Corp. rhythmic CHR “Hot 98-1” WHZT, the older-skewing morning show creates an alternative to Tom Joyner, heard on Summitmedia urban AC “107.3 Jamz” WJMZ, which fell from its first-place perch in Nielsen’s summer survey, trending 9.9-8.6 among listeners age 12+. “The Block” gives Entercom a seventh brand in the market and “the ability to reach virtually any audience in the Upstate,” market manager Steve Sinicropi said in a release. “Until now, there have been limited choices for radio serving African-Americans in the Upstate,” Sinicropi added. “With superstar Steve Harvey in the morning, fewer commercials and better music, we expect 96.3 The Block to be a big hit.”
Cumulus Taps Roberts For Programming Partnerships. Cumulus Media has promoted national director of special projects Aaron Roberts to the newly created position of VP of programming partnerships for Cumulus, Westwood One and the Nash country brand. Remaining based in Atlanta, Roberts will focus on integrating brands with content across platforms, working with the company’s partnerships team in Atlanta, New York, Los Angeles and Nashville. The company says he will work closely with senior VP of content and programming Mike McVay and senior VP of brand partnerships Tommy Page. “Aaron has performed beautifully in the difficult position of serving two masters,” McVay said in a release. “What he does impacts both art and commerce” In a 20-year career, Roberts has held programming and promotion positions in Milwaukee, Toledo, Wilkes-Barre, Nashville and Roanoke.
