Public Radio WNYC/New York has announced that its program "New Standards" will be transitioning to WBGO (Jazz 88) based in Newark, NJ. This change comes after nearly a decade of "New Standards" being broadcast from WNYC. The final episode on its original station will air Saturday, March 22, from 8-11pm.
Paul Cavalconte, who has hosted the show throughout its run and is a veteran of New York City radio, will continue to guide listeners through the American Songbook on WBGO starting in late April. The program, which explores the rich history and ongoing evolution of this quintessential American musical genre, features a blend of classic mid-century artists like Ella Fitzgerald and Nat Cole and contemporary talents such as Jon Batiste and Lin-Manuel Miranda.
LaFontaine E. Oliver, President and CEO of New York Public Radio, expressed his gratitude for the smooth transition facilitated by WBGO, emphasizing the shared mission and cooperation between the stations: "I couldn't be more thrilled that New Standards will continue to delight listeners in the NYC and NJ region from a new perch right across the Hudson," he stated.
WBGO's President and CEO, Steven A. Williams, highlighted the seamless fit of "New Standards" into their programming, noting his quick decision to welcome the show to WBGO's lineup.
WNYC and WBGO are not strangers to collaboration, already partnering on several initiatives including the public affairs program "Ask Governor Murphy" and more recently forming the Tri-State Public Radio Music Collaborative with other area stations to enhance content and audience engagement.
Oliver attributed the move to the longstanding trust and shared values between the stations, which he believes will continue to benefit the music-loving public in the region.

Beasley Broadcast Q4 Revs Up 2.3% to $67.3 Million
| RADIO ONLINE | Thursday, March 20, 2025 |
|
 |
Beasley Broadcast Group reported a slight increase in net revenue for the fourth quarter, up 2.3% to $67.3 million, buoyed by $8.3 million in political advertising. This gain helped counterbalance declines in commercial advertising and losses from divestitures, including the Wilmington station and closures within its esports division. Despite these challenges, operating income remained stable at $7.6 million, consistent with the prior year.
However, the company registered a net loss of $2.1 million, or $1.17 per diluted share, a stark reversal from a net income of $6.4 million, or $4.25 per diluted share, reported in the corresponding quarter of 2023. The loss was primarily due to significant one-time expenses linked to refinancing activities and severance costs.
Yearly figures showed more pronounced struggles, with net revenue declining to $240.3 million from $247.1 million in 2023. The annual net loss widened to $5.9 million, or $3.73 per diluted share, compared to a loss of $75.1 million the previous year, which included non-cash impairment losses of $98.8 million.
The company's EBITDA per Indenture, a measure critical to creditors, showed improvement, rising to $12.5 million in the fourth quarter from $6.2 million in the prior-year quarter. This increase reflects stringent expense management and operational streamlining by the company.
Caroline Beasley, CEO of Beasley Broadcast Group, commented on the results, stating, "2024 was a transformative year for Beasley as we took decisive actions to strengthen our balance sheet, streamline our operations, and position the Company for long-term success." She highlighted the nearly 20% revenue contribution from digital ventures and emphasized ongoing efforts to enhance digital and direct-to-consumer strategies.
Podcast Consumption in America Reaches New Peak
| RADIO ONLINE | Thursday, March 20, 2025 |
|
 |
The Infinite Dial 2025, the longest-running survey tracking America's digital media consumption, reveals that podcast listening and viewing have reached unprecedented levels. This year's survey, endorsed by industry leaders like Edison Research, Audacy, Cumulus Media, and SiriusXM Media, illustrates significant shifts in how Americans engage with digital media.
Celebrating its 27th anniversary, the survey was presented by Megan Lazovick, Vice President at Edison Research, and James Cridland, Editor of Podnews, marking yet another milestone in mapping the digital landscape.
Highlights from the Study:
- Podcasting Hits Record Numbers: An all-time high of 70% of Americans aged 12 and over have tuned into a podcast, with 55% engaging monthly. This reflects a robust growth in podcasting, now reaching an estimated 210 million people.
- Video Podcasts Gaining Traction: The integration of video in podcasts has expanded reach, particularly among male audiences. About 48% of Americans engage with both audio and video formats, with YouTube emerging as the leading platform for podcast consumption.
- Social Media and Regulation: Social media's reach remains strong, with 86% penetration among Americans. However, public opinion is shifting towards more stringent controls, with nearly half supporting a ban on social media access for those under 16.
- Online and In-Car Audio: Online audio listenership has also hit a new high, with 79% of Americans over the age of 12 listening monthly. Digital integration continues to reshape in-car audio, with significant adoption rates for systems like Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Megan Lazovick commented on the evolution of podcast consumption, noting, "While audio-only content retains its unique charm, the rise of video podcasts has broadened the definition of podcasting to include visual consumption. This trend doesn't detract from traditional podcasts but rather enhances the ways in which audiences can engage."
James Cridland reflected on the digital audio revolution, stating, "Watching the digital audio space evolve from a niche to a mainstream platform has been fascinating. The data from this year's Infinite Dial not only informs but also validates the strategic directions many in the industry have pursued."
Additional Findings:
- Smart TVs are now a staple in three-quarters of American homes.
- Political affiliations appear to influence the usage rates of certain digital platforms, with slight increases reported among Republicans.

Court Hears Broadcasters' Plea Against Outdated FCC Rules
| RADIO ONLINE | Thursday, March 20, 2025 |
|
 |
On Wednesday, the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals held oral arguments regarding the legal challenge broadcasters have mounted against the Federal Communications Commission's (FCC) 2018 quadrennial review of broadcast ownership regulations. In a blog post, NAB Senior Vice President, Communications Alex Siciliano wrote that broadcasters argue that these longstanding rules severely limit their growth and ability to offer new services in an era dominated by unregulated Big Tech companies.
Originally, Congress mandated the quadrennial review to ensure that the FCC periodically reevaluates its regulations to align with the evolving media landscape and the burgeoning competition broadcasters now face. However, critics, including the broadcasters, claim the FCC has not adequately updated these regulations despite significant industry changes over the last decade.
Broadcasters are particularly concerned about rules that cap the reach of local TV companies at 39% of U.S. households and restrict the number of radio stations a single entity can own in one market. In contrast, tech giants like Amazon, Netflix, YouTube, Spotify, SiriusXM, and Apple face no such limits, allowing them unchecked growth and market dominance.
Advocates for change argue that without a swift overhaul of these rules, local TV and radio stations will continue to lose ground against these tech behemoths, potentially diminishing local journalism and community-specific content that these stations provide.
As the legal proceedings continue, the urgency to modernize these regulations remains critical. Broadcasters stress that these outdated rules not only fail to serve the public's interest but also jeopardize the very survival of local broadcasting stations amidst fierce competition for advertising and broadcast rights from vastly larger tech companies.
Broadcasters maintain that local radio and TV outlets are indispensable for delivering trusted news, emergency information, and local content -- a service that streaming platforms and tech companies cannot replicate. They are urging the FCC to quickly update its ownership restrictions to better reflect today's digital and competitive reality, thereby securing the future of local broadcasting in the digital age.
