than 10.9 million units in 2018, up from 149,000 in 2010. But an automotive web radio expert calls that estimate low and predicts a faster adoption rate. “By 2020, all new cars will have some sort of mobile connectivity,” Livio Radio CEO Jake Sigal says. For owners of newer cars, that will come from embedded telematics that automakers like Ford and Toyota are racing to bake into the dashboard. The number of cars with factory-installed systems that connect with brought-in smartphone apps is a function of how many people are buying new cars, Sigal says. For owners of older vehicles, there are aftermarket integration car kits, such as those made by Detroit-based Livio with DICE Electronics, which connect smartphones with car stereos via Bluetooth or other means. And there’s always the DIY way of plugging the device directly into the stereo’s aux input. Sigal’s projection is that eight in ten auto-driving smartphone owners will be listening to audio in their car from a connected smartphone by 2020. “Not exclusively but they will be doing it,” he says. “Broadcasters are starting to understand how fast things move in the consumer electronics world.”

Tech challenges stand in the way of automotive internet radio. Before in-car audio streaming becomes a mainstream activity, automakers and electronics manufacturers have some big engineering hurdles to overcome. Different car companies build different sound systems into their vehicles and there are thousands of radio apps. Livio is working to make its Connect Application Programming Interface (API) the standard code and specs used by car stereos to communicate with web radio apps across multiple operating systems. So while big guns like Pandora and iHeartRadio deal directly with automakers, Livio is focusing on smaller players. Pandora has the first-mover advantage and its deals with automakers provide a potent marketing tool to help establish the automotive internet radio market. But none of its partnerships with automakers are exclusive. “Car companies want everyone to have choice,” Sigal says. “Ultimately they want any app that a consumer can safely use in the car — for audio, traffic or navigation — to work with their systems.” But several webcasters want to see Livio get a critical mass of car companies before committing to using its API — and automakers want to see the same thing from webcasters. “We are in various stages of business with broadcasters and automakers,” Sigal says. “Some have cut deals and some are talking to us and some are coming to us because we’re based in Detroit.”

Preparation is key as Hurricane Irene churns toward coastal markets. With newscasters up and down the Eastern Seaboard taking about the when and where Hurricane Irene will make landfall, stations from Florida to Maine are keeping a close eye on what’s heading their way. North Carolina’s Outer Banks are already being evacuated and stations in the New Bern/Morehead City are preparing for the worst. “We plan for as many eventualities as we think of,” NextMedia market manager Larry Weiss says. His staff has been setting its storm plan for days, and ironically it was during a meeting with their partners at WCTI-TV when this week’s earthquake hit. Managers at several stations say they’re stocking up on supplies like water, fuel for generators, food for staff, flashlights and batteries — at both the main building and at back-up studios. Weiss says his team will be taping windows today. “Our business manager just came back from Lowes and she bought the last six sets of D batteries that they had,” Capitol Broadcasting Wilmington general manager Brian Schimmel says. For stations up the East Coast that are perhaps not as used to prepping for hurricanes, the veteran of previous storms recommends stocking up on heavy duty plastic sheeting —which can become invaluable if the storm rips a hole in the roof or water begins leaking into the building. “You can save something whether it’s a copy machine or an audio board,” Schimmel says. He also suggests walking the property outside the studio and the transmitter site for objects that could go airborne in high winds and cause damage. Non-essential satellite dishes could even be taken down. While the current forecast track suggests Wilmington is no longer in the direct path of the storm, Schimmel says they’re keeping tabs on each new update from the National Weather Service. The last big storm to hit the area was Hurricane Floyd in 1999. Cumulus Wilmington-Myrtle Beach chief engineer Dave Wrenn says he’s been

busy load-testing generators in their two markets. “Every year we have meetings and we have put plans in place for these events,” Wrenn says. While preparation is the primary objective for today, most stations say it’s too soon to say if they’ll change programming since no one knows what Irene has in store for them.

Toyota’s big plans for redesigned Camry include HD Radio. Looking to put the devastating tsunami in its rear-view mirror, Toyota will launch 10 all new or major-change vehicles in the months ahead. Leading the charge is its redesigned 2012 Camry, America’s best-selling car for 13 of the past 14 years. When it makes its debut at dealerships in October, the new Camry will offer HD Radio with iTunes tagging, becoming the first Toyota nameplate to do so. It comes as part of the standard audio system on LE, XLE and SE models. Toyota is planning a major advertising push to keep Camry at the top of the competitive midsize sedan segment — advertising starts October 17 and will run through the Super Bowl, where Camry will be prominently featured. It brings to 19 the number of automotive brands that have said HD Radio is or will be available as a factory-installed feature. But HD Radio will be just one of several audio options. Camry will be one of the first Toyotas to offer the Entune multimedia system, which leverages the smartphone to provide access to navigation, entertainment and information services. Entune includes support for iHeart Radio and Pandora, along with mobile apps for travel-related services, such as live weather, traffic, fuel information, stocks and sports. Equipped with a 6.1-inch screen, Entune uses a conversational voice recognition system that eliminates the need to memorize thousands of voice commands. The system will also allow for audio read-back and replay capabilities for text messages. “One of the key features today’s consumers are looking for is information and entertainment,” Toyota VP/GM Bob Carter says. “But it can be a challenge to design a safe, easy to use system in an automobile.” Standard equipment on all 2012 Camrys includes a USB port that allows playing of music and video from portable audio devices, using the vehicle sound system and available in-dash display screen, including full iPod integration. The company plans to launch 20 new and retooled Toyota, Lexus and Scion models by early 2013.

Sirius XM price hike suit settled; costs company nearly $200 million. U.S. District Court Judge Harold Baer says a deal between Sirius XM Radio and some subscribers angry about higher rates is “fair and reasonable.” Some subscribers weren’t happy with the settlement terms, but Baer has given his approval. It closes a legal fight that began in 2009 after Sirius and XM Radio merged. Florida subscriber Carl Blessing sued the satcaster in December 2009 following the merger of Sirius and XM Radio. He claimed the combined company violated antitrust laws when it raised prices and created new monthly surcharges following its merger. Under the out-of-court settlement, Sirius XM agreed to freeze prices through the rest of 2011 and give former subscribers one month of free service. While no cash will change hands, Sirius XM will pay up to $13 million to cover the legal expenses accrued by Blessing and other subscribers who also filed suit. Court documents indicate the deal will cost the satcaster as much as $180 million in lost fee increases. Sirius XM CEO Mel Karmazin said earlier this month that he expects the company to increase rates in 2012.

Earthquake heats up spectrum fight. To broadcasters, the East Coast earthquake demonstrated why FM chips should be installed in cell phones. The FCC is already looking into why mobile networks temporarily crashed and cell phones became useless. In the meantime the wireless industry is defending its ability to respond in crisis and says Tuesday’s jammed system shows why it should get broadcast spectrum. While people along the East Coast may dispute it, CTIA-the Wireless Association president Steve Largent says “the wireless networks worked.” He says they just were slower than normal. “A huge number of users were trying to use the same highway at the same time, which caused the jam,” Largent writes in a blog post. “With more spectrum, we’d have more lanes that would allow more users.” Radio stations have aired thousands of commercials on behalf of the National Association of Broadcasters, which is fighting to block efforts to force TV stations to give up part of their spectrum allotment for wireless carriers. The NAB says the lack of cell phone service proves its point. “Policymakers debating spectrum policy ought to take note that the one reliable communications service during today’s earthquake was the original wireless technology — free and local broadcasting,” EVP Dennis Wharton says. The FCC says a cell phone network that doesn’t work is a “significant” problem. “These are the moments when mobile phone service is needed most — and disruptions put lives at risk,” FCC Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau chief Jamie Barnett says. The FCC is working with the wireless companies to figure out what went wrong. The FCC and cell companies showed off a cell phone-based text alert system earlier this year. It’s gone live in New York and Washington and is set to expand to the rest of the country next year.

Clear Channel buys its Miami news-talk station a second FM simulcast. With Hurricane Irene churning offshore, Miami residents will likely be tuning to “News Radio 610” WIOD a bit more than usual this week. Soon they’ll have another option to find the station on the FM band. Clear Channel has struck a $200,000 deal to buy an Allapattah, FL-licensed translator (W228BY) from Bob Augsburg’s Way FM Media Group. The translator at 93.5 FM will cover just a small portion of the Miami-Dade metro. But paired with another WIOD translator signed on in April – the Tamarac-licensed W262AN (100.3) — it extends the station’s presence on the FM dial. Way-FM had been simulcasting contemporary Christian WAYF, West Palm Beach (88.1) on the Miami translator.

RTDNA reports record low in the number of female news directors. The Radio Television Digital News Association says 11% of radio’s news directors are women, the lowest since the group and Hofstra University began conducting its annual newsroom surveys 17 years ago. The average number of women on a radio newsroom staff is 0.8 with two-thirds of stations reporting they have no women newscasters or reporters. The RTDNA survey found a wide gap between big and small markets. In major markets there were typically about three women at work in the newsroom with nearly three-quarters of stations reporting they have at least one female staffer. In small and medium markets it’s a much different story with roughly four-in-five stations telling researchers they don’t have any female news staffers. Hofstra journalism professor Bob Papper says the number of women in radio news would be even smaller if public radio results were stripped out. Who owns the station also appears to be a factor. “Independent stations were almost twice as likely to have women news directors as group-owned stations,” Papper says. The RTDNA also asked stations about the gender of their general manager — 18% said their GM was a woman.

RTDNA: Little change in minority newsroom staffing. In the past 21 years the U.S. minority population has risen 9.5% but the RTDNA-Hofstra University annual newsroom survey finds radio’s minority workforce is actually smaller than it was two decades ago. The group says the number of minorities in radio in 1990 was 10.8% but that’s fallen to 7.1% this year. That’s actually up from 5% reported one year ago. “The minority numbers in radio were helped enormously by non-commercial stations, which had more than twice the percentage of minorities as commercial radio,” Hofstra journalism professor Bob Papper tells RTNDA members. He says independent stations had twice as many minorities at work than group-owned stations. Stations in the South were also much more diverse than in other parts of the country — with stations in the Midwest having the least diverse workforce. RTDNA says the number of minority radio news directors fell to 5.3% down from 7.1% last year. The number of African Americans was steady — the decline came among Hispanics and Asians, Papper explains. A vast majority of news directors are Caucasian, filling 95% of the jobs. While the percentage of minority radio news directors fell, the percentage of minorities in the newsroom actually increased. “The percentage of radio news operations that have at least one minority staffer more than doubled,” Papper says.

An older, less nomadic newsroom. The RTDNA-Hofstra University annual newsroom survey also found the average age for a radio news director is 47 years old, up two years from the 2010 survey. The youngest news director is 19, while the oldest is 68. “Interestingly, the average and median ages for news directors at commercial stations was about eight years older than for those at non-commercial stations,” Hofstra journalism professor Bob Papper says. He says radio news directors are also less “nomadic” than in the past. The typical radio news director has been at their station for seven years. And the average tenure at the station for the news director is 10.2 years — though one news director says they’ve been at their station for up to four decades.

Revenue Tracker: July Revenue Finishes DownFirst Decline Since 2009 — Inside Radio Q&A with Jim Boyle

Confirming what account executives and sales managers have known for weeks, July wasn’t a particularly good month for the radio industry. In fact, the 3% drop in industry revenue last month was the first month since November 2009 that radio saw year-over-year growth turn from positive to negative. It follows a 1% slip in spot revenue in the second quarter, according to the Radio Advertising Bureau. Yet there are already signs that the worst may be behind the industry. We sat down to discuss the results with analyst Jim Boyle, who collected revenue data from a sample of 51 markets for Inside Radio.

Considering all that we’ve heard over the past few months, the July drop in revenue doesn’t seem like much of a surprise.

Based on the macroeconomic numbers, we knew things were getting tough, and some of the public companies said that July was not a good month. And now we’ve had that confirmed. July is the third lightest revenue month historically after January and February, so numerically speaking it’s not as important as almost any other month. And it may start third quarter in a disappointing fashion, but since it’s a smaller portion of the year as well as the quarter, if you’re going to have a clunker, it’s better to be in a small revenue month than a big one.

July had the most number of down markets since November 2009.

This is a broader, deeper falloff for the industry. It was not as though one region or five or six really big markets pulled it down. It was a disappointing month across most regions and in all market sizes. It was an all-around down month that I think radio should be delighted is in the rearview mirror.

What about those markets that did grow in July?

There were three small markets that were up by mid-single digits: one in the Northeast, one in the Midwest and one in the Northwest. Among the big markets there was only one, and it was up 2%.

Notice also that the two-year gap between small and large markets was quite pronounced in July. So that would seem to indicate that the presence of more direct business, more rate card discipline and less presence of giant platforms seems to be an advantage for small markets — you could do better if you’re local.

How much of the July decline has to do with comps?

This can’t be laid on the door of tough comps. This was a disappointing month, albeit a light revenue month. Last year August revenue was up 8% and it was bookended by July’s +3% and September’s +5% so if you just looked at the

Page 6: (800) 275-2840 Thursday, August 25, 2011 THE MOST … Radio 08-25-11.pdfa swank New York restaurant, Best Buy, iTunes, Visa, Amazon, and Ruth’s Chris Steak House. And to put you

MORE NEWS >> INSIDERADIO.COM PAGE 6

The economy has been trending down so you could say this happened one month early since this was not the month that could have gone negative due to the prior year comps.

There was some early political spending in some markets last year in battleground states. This year there’s not that much political spending right now so, if anything, some of the decline is partly because stations don’t have political dollars this year. It’s much more dramatic for television, but it’s noticeable when radio groups that never before used to worry about that extra percentage point difference mention it at the top of their press release. In the past, they would have just mentioned it in passing.

One other thing about light revenue months is that they tend to be very volatile — they can be quite high for no good reason or quite low for no good reason other than a lot of budgets got moved by one week.

You’ve been following revenue trends for years, so does this feel at all like the slowdown heading into the Great Recession?

Radio’s revenue numbers really started to drop off in the middle of 2007 and that has traditionally been one of the first shoes to drop. But even with a different level of competition from old and new media, it’s tough to say if July or the last few months mirror 2007 and you have the difference this time around of challenging comps. I don’t think it bodes for a double-dip recession. If that were the case, you would expect radio to go negative multiple months.

So at the very least it’s too soon to say? Yes, and we’re going to have the fog of political comparisons in October and November.

So, is the worst behind us?

Most people have said August is better than July. But given the way that pacings keep pulling back, it might not be an unattractive month. We’ll know more as more data flows.
