Inside Music MediaJerry Del Colliano

April is soft.

Retail is soft for the entire year.

Some advertisers are taking a percentage of their ad budgets from radio and buying digital with radio money.

Radio has no digital to offer advertisers other than streaming that doesn’t bring in any significant revenue.

iHeart is already cutting retail rates so drastically it could bring the entire radio industry down.

The year is headed for a loss and local stations are feeling the pain already.

But there are proven ways to outperform a weak radio revenue market.

New sources of income ready-made to contribute to the bottom line.

Ways to deal with competitors who are slashing/cutting ad rates and/or bonusing ad buys to death.

A digital plan that could actually recapture the money advertisers are now diverting to digital.

Subscription revenue, yes income from subscriptions that radio stations are missing.

New forms of advertising such as product placement for radio (not just TV and video).

Newfound revenue from binge radio programming hitchhiking on the popular Millennial habit now reserved for video.

And taking 7pm to 12 midnight and in essence building one or two more radio stations on the same signal to churn revenue where there is essentially nothing.

These are some of the ways that can make a difference as soon as you can get up to speed and implement them.

That’s why the conversation at our April 6^th Philly Conference is focused on significant topics like these that can make a real difference to a radio station at this time of great change.

Jerry Del Colliano invites you to join radio broadcasters and digital executives for a one-day interactive conference focused on leadership, responding to disruption and new content, programming and sales models.

The Advanced Radio Management Conference begins a week from today and this is the last call for registration discounts for the learning event.

We invite you to see the schedule and drill down into the topics that are so relevant to radio at the present time.
