People over age 50 don't count to most advertisers, thus most of the KGO listenership is a group few companies want to reach. That's because people over 50 don't buy much, and those who do tend not to be swayed much by advertising. That's just the reality of the ratings game. Luckily their electricity is free. Us old fogies love us some KGO. |

Well, commercial radio has always been that way, since the beginning of the medium and the very first ads (KQW in 1909 in San Jose). If you want radio that caters to you as a listener, I suggest you support your local non-commercial stations, since to them YOU are the customer, given that they depend on your dollars. Actually, I support KPFT in Houston and SOMA FM. I listen to them on the internet. I have a mobile 3g wireless hotspot and I can listen to any station anywhere I go. HA! |

Remember, as the radio audience you are not the customer, you are the PRODUCT being sold to the customer. The customer is the advertiser. I never thought about it that way before, but it does make a lot of sense. Although perhaps smaller commercial stations, do tend to pay more attention to the listeners than larger broadcasters. Or at least that's the impression I get here comparing the big commercial stations in London to the small one that I normally listen to (Radio Jackie). This may be because the smaller stations have a harder time building up listener numbers, to then sell to the advertisers. Or then again, it might be partly to do with the fact that the small stations I usually listen to was once a pirate station. This was back in the days when I used to listen to a lot of pirate stations, and they mostly didn't carry advertising. They tended to be set up by people wanting to provide radio that wasn't available elsewhere. Basically a lot more listener centric than the commercial stations. I think perhaps some of these basic aims have been carried over, now that they have managed to become a legal station. Richard E. |

WUOM-FM which was renowned for its classical music format did exactly the same and switched to a news and talk format on July 1st, 1996 with complete phase out of classical music by July 2000, and the listening audience grew from 15 million to 27 million.

Actually I wasn't talking about Mr Eduardo, but I can understand the confusion. It was a comment about radio in general. However, I'm not sure if this exactly works with the BBC, who often seem more interested in their own agenda, rather than in doing what is best for the listeners. BBC listeners have long been conditioned into accepting whatever the BBC does is best for them. Obvious examples of such people spring to mind ;) I'm happy with most of what the BBC do, but with radio being the big exception, over processed, and reluctance to provide good digital sound quality. Don't know about community stations. They should in theory be a lot more listener centric than the normal commercial stations. It will all depend from where they receive their funding. If it is a listened supported station then they will have to be receptive to their listeners or they will not get any money to continue. If it is a block grant from a government agency, then they can probably ignore listeners completely so long as they can justify they next grant application. I don't really know if this works in practice as I don't have much experience of community stations. You could try listening to some for about 5 minutes -- you may feel yourself unable to listen for any longer than that for some of them in England. I've only listened to one, and that was only because a friend has a show on that station. I did send a message to the station once, on Facebook, saying I found their 96k mp3 internet stream too low quality, and suggested that if they can't afford a higher bit rate they might consider an aac+ stream. I never got any response to my message, however some how their 96k mp3 sounds better than it used to. Not sure if they did something about it, or whether I simply got used to it. It does now sound better than I'd expect, although not hi-fi quality. As for the big commercial stations, the regulator ought to keep them in line If their is a regulator and if the regulator has policies and power to do that. Ofcom seems to have allowed allowed most of the commercial stations OfCon is a light touch regulator whose purpose is to maximize revenues from the exploitation of the electro-magnetic spectrum, not a body to promote the interests of the listener and quality programming. And if Jeremy Hunt keeps his promise, OfCon will become just a technical regulator and all policy decisions will be made as an afterthought by free market enforcers at the DCMS. No wonder radio listening is dyeing out :-( |

But there's also the matter of becoming immune to advertising. A large number of older people know enough not to be taken in by advertising, or they simply don't care to change brands.

On the other hand, unless they're in a situation like KGO, they don't need to. They can just skim the cream off the top and leave the creative marketing and selling to the stations that need to invest in doing it that way. It takes a certain kind of personallity to sell a station with no ratings, and those sellers can be hard to come by because they sell based on relationships, and often they are quite happy to stay where they are, working their relationships. |

News and information formats are among the most expensive to provide in broadcasting. Unlike KQED, KKUP does not have access to unlimited funds. Neither does KALW. I've mentioned here in the past that just the interest on the mortgage for KQED's Mariposa Street studios -- just the annual interest -- is enough to pay the entire staff salaries of KALW management, engineer, and board ops. KALW wisely tapped into high school and college intern programs and various associations with commercial news organizations to build its news staff. Aside from that, the local pubaffairs programming was/is all volunteers. Besides, what would all the old hippies who play wind chimes and whale farts do? KALW makes time for them on Sunday nights with "Hearts of Space". They may be the only station still carrying that program. |

There is no use asking if the air is any good if that's all there is to breathe. The fact is that from inside the industry, the grumbling over the sample size (and hence the granularity and accuracy) of the ratings sucks. Arbitron used diaries. Nielsen does surveys. Pulse and Hooper I believe relied mainly on telephone calls. Well, Pulse and Hooper are out of business, probably because advertisers found them lacking. But Arbitron and Nielsen are still around. And responding to demand, Arb introduced the PPM to replace diaries. What's amazing is how little this dramatic change in sampling methodology has changed the standings of stations. About the only major complaint is that "minority stations" that used to get credit when people listed them in diaries are apparently hurting. It seems that people didn't *really* listen to those stations nearly as much as they listen to the more mainstream stations. Arbitron remains in business because there is no competition, and the major broadcasters are too lazy to do anything else. I'm not so sure about that. Stations have music focus groups which they either conduct themselves or via an outside agency. Surely they could contract with some agency to do polling for them if they felt they'd get anything substantially better than what they get right now. |
