Harper Horizon Inks Publishing Deal with Cody Alan
| RADIO ONLINE | Monday, October 26, 2020 |
|
 |
Harper Horizon has secured the U.S. rights to publish and distribute a memoir on the art of listening, by radio and television personality Cody Alan, chronicling Alan's music industry adventures and life-altering self-discoveries. The book became available October 19. As host of CMT's flagship music series, CMT Hot 20 Countdown, and the award-winning, syndicated radio show, "CMT After MidNite," distributed by iHeartMedia's Premiere Networks, Alan has developed a devoted following of fans and country stars, with his trademark humanity and warmth.
In the upcoming book, Alan provides expert guidance on how to become a world-class listener, gleaned from encounters with family, friends, colleagues, and music icons such as Dolly Parton, Garth Brooks and Keith Urban. Through homegrown stories of his wild career in country radio, Alan spins the tale of a southern-raised family man, navigating the music industry while struggling with his identity, whose dedication to hearing the substance of his subject's words led to discoveries about love, loss, self-confidence, and human connection.
"It might seem strange for a guy who talks for a living to write a book about shutting up and listening," said Alan. "But I've discovered that in a world of noise, with so many voices talking, we could learn a lot by stopping to listen. Not just listening to others, but also to ourselves. I thought it would be fun to share stories from my personal journey, country music adventures and experienced insights on what I've learned about life, career and love from listening."
"When I first met Cody, I was struck by the similarities between his story and the Harper Horizon mission to make the world a better place," said Harper Horizon publisher Andrea Fleck-Nisbet. "Not only is our hometown of Nashville the backdrop of Cody's story, but its themes of inclusivity, community, and self-healing are very much part of the Horizon narrative too. We are thrilled that Cody has joined our team, and we fully expect his book to become a beacon of encouragement to readers everywhere."

iHeartMedia to Acquire Voxnest
| RADIO ONLINE | Friday, October 23, 2020 |
|
|
iHeartMedia has entered into an agreement to acquire Voxnest, the leading consolidated marketplace for podcasts and provider of podcast analytics, enterprise publishing tools, programmatic integration and targeted ad serving. With the acquisition, iHeartMedia will be able to provide podcast advertisers with additional targetable inventory across an entire range of podcasts. This additional inventory will increase the monetization of iHeartMedia's full range of podcasts and advance the podcast marketplace for both buyers and sellers. iHeartMedia will also be able to drive greater monetization for creators of podcast content - wherever they currently publish their shows - by connecting Voxnest's advanced ad technology with multiple publishing platforms across the industry.
"This is an important addition to the iHeart digital product ecosystem, which includes our SmartAudio suite of data-driven broadcast radio advertising solutions; our position as the No. 1 commercial podcast publisher with massive distribution and promotion across all our broadcast assets; and the iHeartRadio digital platform," said Bob Pittman, Chairman and CEO of iHeartMedia, Inc. "The addition of iHeart's offerings to Voxnest will ensure critical mass for the platform and accelerate its growth. As we continue to invest in podcasting and lead the industry, we anticipate this acquisition will have an important impact on iHeart's ability to more fully monetize its podcast inventory, and will also benefit the other podcast publishers that are part of the Voxnest network and the advertisers who are using it."
"We're excited about the growth potential from this unique combination," said Francesco Baschieri, CEO of Voxnest. "The podcast marketplace has been fragmented, with supply and demand spread across multiple platforms - creating scale challenges for marketers who want to buy podcasts. And despite the massive growth of the podcast industry, with more than 100 million Americans listening to a podcast every month now, podcast creators and networks have not had an effective way to fully monetize their content and brands. With this combination, for the first time there will be one podcast technology platform that can bring together all of the demand sources with the largest supplier of podcast inventory - creating the only podcast technology platform that consolidates all the podcast markets into one, making buying more efficient for buyers and sellers of podcast advertising, and creating a unique benefit for the 10,000+ podcast publishers that are part of the Voxnest network today."
iHeartMedia owned a minority stake in Voxnest prior to this acquisition.
Report: Radio to The Rescue With Massive Voter Reach
| RADIO ONLINE | Friday, October 23, 2020 |
|
 |
Westwood One's Insights team offers a solution to the problem of TV bursting with political ads and YouTube's being sold out. Adding AM/FM radio to a TV/social/digital buy generates a massive 15% increase in voter reach for the same budget: Keeping the overall budget flat and shifting 20% of spend to AM/FM radio generates huge growth in voter reach (79% to 91%), a +15% increase.
- Nielsen: When TV is sold out, moving money to digital/social does not grow voter reach: A Nielsen analysis found that shifting the same budget from an 80%/20% TV/digital mix to a 70%/30% TV/digital allocation does not increase voter reach. Voter reach is stuck at 79% despite increasing the digital allocation.
- AM/FM radio's superpower is tripling reach among voters who are light TV viewers: Nielsen Media Impact's voter reach analysis reveals light TV viewer voter reach grew 3X from 17% to 53%.
- 38% of voters are light TV viewers and virtually all of them are reached by AM/FM radio: Nielsen Scarborough reports nearly two in five registered voters are light TV viewers. The light TV viewer segment only generates 6% of total TV time spent. AM/FM radio is the solution, reaching 90% of registered voters who are light TV viewers.
- Connected TV cannot solve for the light TV viewer challenge: A Nielsen voter reach analysis examined a buy with a foundation of linear TV at 68% of the budget, 13% of spend allocated to connected TV, and 20% placed in digital. This media plan generated a 57% voter reach. When 10% of the buy is shifted to AM/FM radio with no increase in budget, voter reach soars from 57% to 80%, a +41% increase with the same budget.

Fast Food Restaurants Prove Resilient During Pandemic
| RADIO ONLINE | Thursday, October 22, 2020 |
|
 |
McDonald's, Wendy's and Taco Bell lead the ranking of radio advertisers in Media Monitors' latest rankings of top advertisers in the quick-service restaurants category. With breakfast representing 8% of total U.S. sales, Wendy's announced in August that it would launch a $15 million marketing campaign for the rest of 2020. The fast food chain aired 537,837 spots across radio, television and cable, but 394,613 of those spots were on radio.
"The best time to entice hungry diners is while they're in the car, making radio advertising even more valuable for fast food marketers," said Media Monitors President and CEO Philippe Generali. "With schools and other activities reopening, people are learning how to live with the virus, so they're venturing out more. Fast food offers the flexibility to eat out but not have to dine inside a restaurant. This advantage, combined with the value of the meal, makes fast food just right for today's pandemic economy."
The top 50 fast food advertisers aired a combined 5.75 million spots between January 1 and September 30. Overall, the top 50 aired more than half of instances, 54% on radio and one-third of their spots on television. Taco Bell, which ranked #3 overall, aired nearly all of its instances on radio. Meanwhile, Subway -- the #3 advertiser overall in 2019 -- fell to #18 in the latest analysis.

Podtrac Issues Listening Outlook for the Holidays
| RADIO ONLINE | Thursday, October 22, 2020 |
|
 |
Wondering what this holiday season may look like for podcast listeners? Here's some data which may shed some light on what the holidays have in store. Based on an iHeart survey of podcast listeners conducted between August 31 and September 7 of this year, 6 in 10 expect to spend the same or more time than last year traveling by car over the holidays, and 8 in 10 plan to spend more time than last year with family.
Will more time in the car lead to more podcast listening? Or does more family time mean less podcast listening? iHeart Executive VP Hetal Patel thinks that podcast listeners actively looking forward to the holidays can only be good for podcast listening.
"Our survey indicates that three-quarters of podcast listeners are looking for experiences that improve their mood this holiday season," said Patel. "Podcast listening has continued to grow during the pandemic and given the early indicators we are seeing; we expect people to continue listening to podcasts as it provides the enjoyment they crave."
Podtrac's historical data shows some interesting patterns. Wednesdays are consistently the highest podcast listening day of the week with traffic dipping on the weekends and Sunday being the lowest listening day of the week as illustrated by the Q4 2019 data below. This pattern has continued through the pandemic to date.
Podtrac data also shows that October tends to be the highest podcast listening month of the year, with downloads dipping during November and December but not as low as levels earlier in the year.
Podcast listening tends to drop over Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's holidays per data from Podtrac, but is above average before and after those holidays, with strongest listening for the season in early January.
While overall podcast listening is down slightly in November and December from October levels, two categories - Music and Leisure - showed increased listening during this time frame in 2019, per data from Podtrac.
Given the surprises that 2020 has held for us so far, we can't be certain what podcast listening will look like during the holidays this year, but signs point to continued growth.
"It will certainly be interesting to track the data to determine if the pandemic does have an influence on podcast listening over this holiday season," commented Podtrac CEO Mark McCrery.

Live365 Lifts Revenue Limits for U.S.-Based Broadcasters
| RADIO ONLINE | Thursday, October 22, 2020 |
|
 |
Live365 has officially removed all revenue restrictions from the Live365 packages for all U.S.-based broadcasters. Previously, revenue generation was limited to Live365 advertising only. The removal of these restrictions now allows for all U.S.-based broadcasters to run their own advertisements and sponsorships on any Live365 package.
"It has been a long time coming, but we have officially removed restrictions on revenue generation by Live365 Broadcasters. Due to certain agreements that were in place, we previously had to limit revenue generation in audio to Live365 advertising only. Now, U.S.-based Live365 Broadcasters can sell ads and generate revenue how they see fit with no restrictions," said Live365 General Manager Jason Stoddard. "The hard work involved in negotiating the removal of these restrictions is indicative of how dedicated Live365 is to innovating and creating an environment that allows small webcasters to flourish."
Currently, the revenue restrictions are lifted for U.S.-based broadcasters only, but Live365 is looking into options to remove revenue restrictions for U.K. and Canada-based broadcasters as well.
