"Revenue Falls 20 Percent In November"

NEW YORK -- December 22, 2008: November showed the worst revenue
numbers in a long, down year, the RAB reports: Radio revenue was off
by 20 percent compared to November 2007.

Local fell 21 percent last month, with national off 24 percent, with
local and national combining for a 22 percent decline. Off-air
revenue, which has risen most months this year, crept up again in
November, rising 1 percent.

The November dropoff follows reports that grand-total revenue was down
10 percent in October and 8 percent in September.

The RAB bases its local and national figures on about 100 markets as
reported by Miller Kaplan Arase & Co.

Eduardo - can you spin this in a positive way for HD Radio?

So what? *TV station revenue is down. *Auto companies revenue is
down. *The whole economy is down. *With businesses going under every
day, you should expect this to happen with radio advertising. *No
surprise here. *When the economy recovers, so will the advertising
income. *That's not to say that radio advertising income will ever be
what it was a few years ago, but it will recover somewhat with the
economy recovery. *So the stats for November are really worthless as
an argument against radio or HD radio.

The point is - radio is so strapped that a 20% drop puts pressure on
an already stressed industry. *Radio is just trying to keep its head
above water. *In that sense 20% IS significant. *Isn't that right
Eduardo.

I haven't heard of the radio industry asking congress for a bail out.
I think it's a shame how some people enjoy seeing others suffer. *I
guess some of you think as long as it is someone else's job that is in
danger and not your own, it's just fine with you. *That's about as
selfish as one can get. *

- And hoping that the radio industry will fold
- shows the disgusting person you really are.

Right-On !

- GET A LIFE!
