BFA Provides Emergency Aid Quickly to TX Broadcasters
| RADIO ONLINE | Wednesday, February 24, 2021 |
|
 |
The Broadcasters Foundation of America (BFA) is providing emergency aid to broadcast colleagues, who have been hit hard by the recent extreme weather conditions in Texas and the surrounding states. More than 20 requests have come in over the past 5 days from employees of TEGNA, Nexstar, Radio One, Entercom, Fox and more, with the first of those checks going out to qualifying individuals Wednesday.
"Broken pipes, power outages, displacement, and more have brought devastation to many of our colleagues," said Broadcasters Foundation of America Vice President Peter Doyle. "The Foundation's Emergency Grant Program is set up with a streamlined vetting process that allows us to move quickly and get checks to those in desperate need. We're asking every broadcaster in affected areas to help us get the word out to those who may need our assistance."
Broadcasters interested in applying for aid may visit the Apply for Aid section of the Broadcasters Foundation website and select Emergency Grants on the right, which will take them to the Emergency Grant & Disaster Information Request Form.
The Broadcasters Foundation has disbursed over $1 million to qualifying broadcasters through its Emergency Grant Program. One-time emergency grants are awarded for up to $2,000 each to qualifying broadcasters recovering from a natural disaster, such as hurricanes, tornados, fires, floods, or other serious misfortune.
The Broadcasters Foundation of America has distributed millions of dollars in aid to broadcasters who have lost their livelihood through a catastrophic event, debilitating disease, or unforeseen tragedy. Personal donations can be made to the Foundation's Guardian Fund. Corporate contributions are accepted through the Angel Initiative, and bequests can be made through the Foundation's Legacy Society at www.broadcastersfoundation.org.
As Podcast Audience Grows, Advertiser Focus Should Sharpen
| RADIO ONLINE | Thursday, February 25, 2021 |
|
 |
Given consumers' on-demand lifestyles, it's not surprising that podcasts have become the darlings of the audio realm -- for consumers, content creators, and now, advertisers. But as the podcast landscape broadens, content creators and advertisers will be increasingly tasked with ensuring that their programs and messages align with who's listening. And when Nielsen looked at audience trends -- creators and advertisers should be focused on where the growth is.
Importantly, 41% of U.S. podcast listeners are non-White, which makes the podcast audience more diverse than the country's total population. And the depth of non-White podcast listeners is the result of annual growth rates that notably outpaced the growth of White listeners over the past decade.
Across ethnic groups, Hispanics have gravitated to podcasts more than any other, as the reach among this group increased from 1.1 million in 2010 to 6.8 million in 2019. That represents a growth rate of 6x, which is well above the 4x rate of growth among Whites.
Not only is the growth of the Hispanic audience noteworthy, but it's important for content creators and advertisers to understand that the podcast genres that Hispanics engage with are notably different from what other groups listen to. For example, kids and family podcasts rank highest among Hispanic consumers, a genre that doesn't even rank in the top five genres among Whites or Asian Americans.
For those familiar with Hispanic consumers, the preference isn't that surprising, given their strong family ties and abundance of multi-generational households. In fact, Hispanics are the youngest ethnic group and are 40% more likely to live in a multi-generational household, and these households are the nexus of the Hispanic community.
That doesn't mean, however, that podcast creators and advertisers should be solely focused on Hispanic audiences. In looking at how Hispanic and Black consumers react to retail advertising they hear in podcasts, Black audiences are notably more likely to take action, including visiting a store to make a purchase.
At the start of 2021, consumers had more than 1.7 million podcasts to choose from. Nielsen reports that depth of content is a boon for consumers, but it can present a spending dilemma for brands looking to add podcasts to their marketing plans. Yet with broadening appeal and strong listener engagement, brands should be looking to podcasts as a more personalized way to connect with audiences who are maxed out on visual inputs.
Some might argue that advertising in the most popular podcasts would be the ideal way to engage audiences en masse. But in a world that is moving away from cookies and toward actual people, smart brands are looking to engage the right consumers with a well-tailored message rather than casting a big net and hoping for the best. And as the base of podcast listeners rapidly expands, those well-tailored messages depend on having a full understanding of who's listening and to what.
Alpha Media Signs Long-Term Deal With vCreative's vPPO

vCreative, a provider of media workflow software solutions, has entered into a long-term agreement with Alpha Media. This extends Alpha Media's vPPO service as well as adding the vTrade service across all of its stations nationwide. The solution was developed to provide companies with the ability to easily track, manage, audit and report on trade inventory, eliminating the risk of financial loss due to wasted or expired trade.
"After using vPPO for nearly three years and knowing how it has improved our workflow, I was excited to see vTrade had been added to the family," said Alpha Media Regional Business Manager Stephanie Ross. "The team at vCreative also added an entirely new component to vTrade that will make managing our auctions even better than before. From entering consignments, tracking sales, and printing vouchers with unique IDs, we can now easily and efficiently manage this complex area of our business."
Corporate Director of Traffic Operations Paul Blanding added, "Even before the Covid pandemic hit us all, our company was using vPPO to work collaboratively from multiple locations. We can't imagine how we could easily execute audio trafficking and production as well as our Digital initiatives without vPPO. Thanks, vCreative."
"We are thrilled to be continuing and expanding upon our partnership with Alpha Media," commented vCreative SVP of Sales Mary DelGrande. "vCreative's main objective is to continue to innovate and evolve. The adoption of vTrade and Alpha's renewed commitment to vPPO is proof that we are succeeding.

Reps. Ask Biden To Make Rosenworcel Permanent FCC Chair
| RADIO ONLINE | Tuesday, February 23, 2021 |
|
 |
A coalition of more than 30 women in Congress are urging the Biden administration to elevate acting FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel to permanent head of the agency, reports The Hill. The group says by doing so, it would install an experienced leader as well as be a historic choice. If President Biden were to agree, she would be the first woman to serve as permanent chair of the FCC and give the Biden administration an opportunity to add another Democratic commissioner.
"[Rosenworcel] has spent years raising the important voices and unique needs of women that have been ignored for far too long in technology and telecommunications policy," the 33 female lawmakers led by Reps. Anna Eshoo (D-CA) and Jackie Speier (D-CA) wrote. "In her eight years as a Commissioner of the FCC, Jessica Rosenworcel has elevated the voices and needs of women."
President Biden appointed Rosenworcel, a Democrat, to lead the agency in an acting capacity in January and she headed her first open FCC meeting last week.

Clark Howard to Receive 2021 Andrew Ashwood Award
| RADIO ONLINE | Tuesday, February 23, 2021 |
|
 |
The radio industry's Talk Show Boot Camp returns for its 12th consecutive year and has named Clark Howard the recipient of this year's Andrew Ashwood Award. Clark is the well-known consumer guru and radio legend. He announced he is ending his syndicated show at the end of this year which caps off an amazing 23-year run on national radio.
The award is named in honor of Andrew Ashwood, who was the former head of programming at Fox Sports Radio. We lost Andrew in 2008 at the age of 51 after a long battle with esophageal cancer. Andrew was an inspiration to anyone who crossed his path or worked under his substantial shadow. A bigger-than-life personality and one of the most positive people you could ever meet are just a couple of his lasting attributes that continue to inspire this award. In that light, Talk Show Boot Cam recognizes an industry leader each year who has personified those traits with a positive impact across the radio business.
Traditionally, each year's recipient is charged with selecting the following year's honoree. In selecting Howard for this year's coveted award, last year's recipient Greg Moceri said, "When I was given the privilege of selecting someone who exemplified the positivity that Andrew did for our industry, it took me two seconds to say Clark Howard. Having worked and associated with him for 30 years, he was an instant selection on how many ways he has demonstrated that positivity and has helped millions through the years. "In Clark we trust" impacted his knowledge and authenticity in our industry for decades and it continues today. Clark was an instant choice to carry on this great tradition of honoring Andrew."
"The Clark Howard Show" is syndicated on more than 250 stations nationwide by Westwood One, home to many popular talk shows aired around the country. Clark's show originates from WSB radio in Atlanta. Clark was a very successful travel agent in Atlanta when at age 33 he started appearing on WGST-AM in Atlanta as an expert guest providing travel advice. The feature was so popular WGST gave him his own weekend show. In 1991, WSB lured him away with a full-time position hosting afternoon drive where he stayed for 21 years.
Clark is also a contributing columnist to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution and appears daily on WSB-TV's Action News. He also sponsors important charities such as his annual Clark's Kids Toy Drive. Howard was inducted into the Radio Hall of Fame in 2007.
Past winners of the Andrew Ashwood Award include: Gabe Hobbs, Rick Scott, Bruce Gilbert, Jim Farley, Kraig Kitchen, Glenn Beck, Chris Oliviero, Julie Talbot, Harvey Nagler, Randy Michaels and last year's recipient, Greg Mocerei. Talk Show Boot Camp Twelve will be virtual this year and held on March 18 and 19. The event is presented each year by Don Anthony's Talentmasters and Gabe Hobbs Media.
Registration for Talk Show Bootcamp is currently open HERE.
NAB Campaign Spotlights First-Person Storytelling

The National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) launches "Voices From the Field," a new digital campaign highlighting stories of local broadcasters through first-person accounts. The campaign, part of NAB's "We Are Broadcasters" initiative, will spotlight how broadcasters are using their expertise, experience and dedication to local broadcasting to serve their audiences and uplift their communities.
Using first-person storytelling features such as podcasts, video interviews and Q-and-A dialogue, "Voices From the Field" will provide a platform for subjects to describe why they became broadcasters, what makes them passionate about their career and what they love most about being a local broadcaster. The campaign will focus on local reporters, radio air talent, photojournalists, broadcast engineers, producers and editors to highlight the people responsible for delivering news, weather, emergency information and public affairs programming to local communities.
"Every day, thousands of local broadcasters work tirelessly on-air, online and behind the scenes to deliver invaluable service to their communities," said NAB President and CEO Gordon Smith. "This campaign will celebrate the real people who are providing vital information from the front lines to keep Americans safe, informed and engaged, even when they themselves are in harm's way."
Shomari Stone, general assignment reporter for Washington, DC's NBC4 (WRC-TV), is the subject of the first "Voices From the Field" story. Stone shares the moment he knew he wanted to be a broadcaster, his insights into how he views his role as a journalist and his experiences covering the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol Building.
New "Voices from the Field" segments will be regularly available at WeAreBroadcasters.com.
ABC News Offers Revealing New Podcast on Lady Bird Johnson
| RADIO ONLINE | Tuesday, February 23, 2021 |
|
 |
ABC News will kick off Women's History Month with its new podcast In Plain Sight: Lady Bird Johnson, co-produced with Best Case Studios and hosted by author Julia Sweig. Drawn from over 123 hours of the former first lady's mostly unheard daily audio diaries, the podcast presents a surprising and original portrait of Claudia Alta "Lady Bird" Johnson, told in her own words. The series provides stunning new revelations about Lyndon B. Johnson's presidency and reveals Lady Bird as Johnson's closest advisor and most indispensable political partner.
The series documents her front-row seat to some of the most notable events in U.S. history and decisions that shaped the nation forever, as well as her history-making encounters with John F. Kennedy, Jacqueline Kennedy, Bobby Kennedy, Richard Nixon, Eartha Kitt, Peter, Paul and Mary, politicians, civil rights activists, environmentalists and her surprising partnership with Washington's first Mayor, Walter Washington.
Using a rich trove of rare footage from the era, In Plain Sight creates an immersive audio experience of a tumultuous moment in America and tells the story of how one vastly underestimated woman navigated the power, politics and polarization of her time to become arguably one of the most influential first ladies in history. The first two episodes of the eight-part series will debut on Monday, March 1. Sweig is also author of the new book Lady Bird Johnson: Hiding in Plain Sight on the same topic, to be published by Random House on March 16.
In Plain Sight: Lady Bird Johnson is available for free on major listening platforms including Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, Google Podcasts, iHeartRadio, TuneIn and the ABC News app, with new episodes posting Mondays.
