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.

Installed in world class facilities Integrated platform concept Fiber optic networking Any audio source, anywhere.
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."
DIGITAL "KLOTZ al owed us to achieve in eight months what j would have taken us two years had we gone analog. Performance has been beyond any- thing we _ould have anticipated. The flexibility, ease of use, low maintenance, and great factory support have reinforced our decision. Thank you KLOTZ!"

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.

THE TAYLOR REPORT
The T -Man (Seattle -based Bob Tepper) joins the I -Man in morning - show syndication - which gets us
wondering: Will syndicated morning shows start to swallow up local shows at an even faster clip? Early syndication
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.

Shannon Bldck, on -air tarent at KRQQ FM, at the VADIS Dula onsole.
' After looking at several options, we decided o l the VADIS platform and DC consoles from K.OTZ,' says John Decker, Chief Engineer, Capstar Communica -ions, Tucson. "Why? Fist, our install would be much faster since rrost of the plant wiring could be reduced to a simple Ethernet line and a fiber opic cable connecting each room with our rack room.
"Secondly, all four sta-ions were to be housed in the same facility, and we had to share audio sources all around the plant. This is a function thDt is part of the KLOTZ system. Our entire plant is now based or a digital audio 'back- bone' that provides an improved audio signal.
' We also purchased f ve DC console!. The ai talent finds the DC consoles simpl? to operate. They can put any source in our plant o-i any fader of the c onsole with a simple LCD b itton in the meter bridge. Giving the operator the ability to call up any source to a 'cider is
g eat since each operator prefers a different a rangement of sources on the console."
