Study: Country radio is skewing younger than ever before. Country is riding a ratings wave, propelled by an influx of 18-34 year-olds drawn to the edgier, more energetic music coming out of Nashville. But surprisingly, it’s the young end of that demo fueling the format’s biggest growth, new Arbitron data shows. Country’s 18-24 share in PPM markets skyrocketed 41% over the past two years, from a 7.4 in 2010 to a 10.5 in 2012. Growth in the 25-34 cell was smaller but still impressive, rising 6.2-7.8, for a 27% increase. Programmers say the findings confirm what they’ve seen on the street: a higher incidence of younger fans at country concerts. Youth cume is on an upswing but the biggest driver has been Time Spent Listening, particularly among 18-24s, which accelerated at a faster clip (+25%) compared to 25-34s (+8%). “These stations are not only attracting more 18-24s, they’re getting them to tune in more and to listen longer,” Arbitron director of programming services Jon Miller says. The study also suggests it’s time to welcome country into radio’s elite “big tent” formats. In spring 2012, country was radio’s fifth highest-cuming format in PPM markets.

Providence and Minneapolis are now among the top 10 markets for the format, based on share of total market listening, alongside traditional hotbeds like Charlotte, Indianapolis, Nashville, San Antonio and Kansas City.

Country’s family reunion appeal raises fragmentation issue. How long can country continue to be all things to all people? The 18-34 demo is part of the larger Millennial generation, estimated at 75-80 million Americans. With 18-34s now accounting for nearly one-third of country’s Average Quarter Hour composition in PPM markets, country is well positioned to court what is now the nation’s largest living generation. But sales managers can take comfort in knowing that country’s youth invasion hasn’t hurt its 45-54 core, which remains steady at 21% of the format. But country is bleeding listeners aged 65+.

Rock listeners are flocking to country. If 18-34 year-olds are the largest contributor to country’s record ratings, where are they coming from? In PPM markets, the answer is rock radio. Rock formats sharing younger listeners with country isn’t new, but the incidence of cross-tuning is on the rise. No format shares more of its audience with country than active rock. Half of active rock’s cume listens to country, up from 44% in 2010, according to Scarborough data.

(43%), adult alternative (42%), classic rock (40%) and alternative (40%). Each is sharing more with country than two years ago. Adult alternative sharing more than doubled while classic rock increased by one-third. But it’s not an even exchange. The percent of 18-34 year-old country listeners that also tune to active rock, adult hits, classic rock and adult alternative is significantly lower. Jacobs Media president Fred Jacobs says the results are unsurprising in light of greater music industry attention and investment in developing new country acts. “Country has a lot of hot new music; rock, not so much,” he says. “For the younger end of the spectrum looking to discover new music, country is going to be a destination for some.” That’s has many rock stations focusing more on personality and targeting 25-44 year-olds. “Fortunately, many rock stations have done a great job on the personality side of the spectrum — and that’s proprietary content you can’t get on Spotify, Sirius or Pandora,” he says.

FCC to require fewer details in EEO reports. The FCC has mailed its first EEO audits for 2013 to a group of 197 randomly selected radio stations and 80 TV stations. There are changes to this year’s audits. The FCC has made modifications to reduce “audit burdens” on stations. But at the same time, it is encouraging broader job outreach. It will require fewer job notices, on-air ad logs and information on initiatives to encourage stations to have “vigorous recruitment” without turning in as much detailed information as before. In a statement the agency says it will still be “thoroughly auditing programs for compliance.” The letters to stations were sent February 26. Each year, about 5% of all radio and television stations are selected for EEO audits. Read a list of stations being audited in the first round HERE.

For now, the FCC says web-only contest rules aren’t enough. The FCC has signaled it may be open to broadcaster pleas to allow stations to move lengthy contest requirement disclosures online instead of on-air. Such a change won’t come soon enough for Greater Media AC “Magic 106.7” WMJX, Boston. The Enforcement Bureau has proposed fining the station $4,000 for failing to “fully and accurately” disclose all the rules of the 2008 “Cool, Hot or Green” contest. The FCC received a complaint that instead of getting the promised choice of one of three new cars, the winner actually received a two-year lease for the car they picked. The winner also had to pass a credit background check that’s typical when leasing a car. In responding to the FCC, Greater Media said the complete rules of the contest were specifically spelled out on WMJX’s website. But that isn’t good enough for the FCC. It says WMJX never mentioned the complete description of the contest in its more than 300 on-air promos, calling the spots “fundamentally misleading” and concluding the station “essentially broadcast a false announcement of the grand prize rather than a vague one.” It goes on to say, “The burden is not on the listener to surmise the nature of the prize — it is on the licensee to announce it.” Last fall the FCC began taking comments about its 36-year old contesting rules at the urging of former Entercom EVP Jack Donlevie, who said it appeared there’s wide support for updating the regulations inside the agency. He said preliminary research indicates the rate of listener tune-out doubles in a stopset containing a contest rule message — meaning most people never even hear them. The National Association of Broadcasters supports the change, noting that when the contest regulations were written in 1976, there were no fax machines, email, internet, personal computers or smart phones — meaning on-air disclosures were station’s only option.

TuneIn reformats its web interface to promote more personalized discovery. With 70,000 broadcast and web radio stations from around the world, finding what you want on TuneIn can be like looking for the proverbial needle in a haystack. To evolve the service from radio directory into more of a discovery platform, the company has added new “live” tiles to display the album art of what’s currently playing across different genres on its relaunched website and new iPad app. With a free personal account, consumers can customize the experience so the rotating tiles surface relevant music, sports and news as it’s being broadcast live, based on their listening habits and interests. “We needed a sophisticated system to do the work for our listeners, not ask them to do extra work in order to personalize their experience,” CEO John Donham says. In addition to music, Donham says the new system combs through thousands of live radio events — from concerts to interviews to sports — to “bring into focus just the stations that mean something” to the individual user. A new trending feature displays a current feed of the most-listened-to stations from around the world. TuneIn says it has about 40,000 monthly active listeners.

One of the goals of the new interface is to grow listening on PCs. The company tells TechCrunch that while its mobile listener base has nearly tripled over the past year, its computer-based growth hasn’t kept pace.

Fiscal cliff blamed for soft quarter at Fisher Radio. “Uncertainty and concerns over the fiscal cliff weighed heavily,” Fisher Communications CEO Colleen Brown says of her company’s fourth quarter performance. The company reports revenue at its Seattle radio operation was “relatively flat” in the quarter as the cluster failed to attract the sort of political dollars that propelled its TV division to double-digit growth. If it weren’t for those election-related ads, Fisher says its TV division would have been down even worse than radio as auto and professional services advertisers pulled back. Brown told investors on a company conference call yesterday that while there was a “softening” of the auto category in fourth quarter, there was a “nice and solid pickup” post-election among dealer groups and manufacturers. “What we’re seeing in the first quarter and for the whole year 2013 is it is beginning to strengthen — I think the industry is feeling fairly good about the opportunity for auto sales to pick up,” she said. Brown declined to comment on the progress being made by its financial advisor Moelis & Company, which was hired in January as Fisher opened itself to a possible sale. The company has said there isn’t a set timetable for the process and no guarantee the review will lead to any action. Brown did note that all-news KOMO (1000, 97.7)topped Bonneville’s rival “News Talk 97.3” KIRO-FM for first time in four years in Arbitron’s January ratings. KOMO had a 3.4 share (6+) versus a 3.3 share for KIRO-FM.

Inside Radio News Ticker...Cluster skipped public file for nearly six years…The FCC has hit Mt. Rushmore Broadcasting with $60,000 in fines for violations of its public inspection file requirements. The Enforcement Bureau says its four Casper, WY stations — “Kolt Country, 103.7” KQLT and classic rock “Kick 107” KASS, and the currently-silent KHOC (102.5) and KMLD (94.5) — were missing 23 consecutive quarters of issue and program lists. In other words, it hasn’t had the quarterly documents in the file since the FCC granted the stations’ license renewal applications in September 2005. The FCC is also requiring Mt. Rushmore to file a written statement detailing the actions it has taken to come into compliance…FCC does sequestration math…$17 million. That’s how much the FCC calculates its required 5% budget cut comes out to be as part of the automatic spending cuts required by the sequestration. The agency would have until the end of September to identify the cutbacks. A spokesman tells The Hill the cuts are “very significant,” particularly because the FCC’s staff is at its smallest size in nearly 30 years. If the cuts stick, it may mean many FCC employees will need to skip their annual trip to the NAB Show in Las Vegas next month…Sequestration helps web traffic…Hubbard’s “Federal News Radio 1500” WFED, Washington has built an on-air and online business targeting federal employees.

GAO recommends update to sponsor ID rules. The FCC’s broadcast sponsor identification guidelines are ripe for an update. That’s according to the Government Accountability Office, which has been studying the blurring lines between paid ads and paid content on television and radio. The rules say broadcasters must identify commercial content that’s been aired in exchange for payment. That means infomercials that air on radio must clearly state the show is a paid program at least

once, while typical:30s and :60s don’t fall under the rule since their sponsors are obvious. But the growing use of video and audio news releases — more common on TV than radio — has raised questions about whether the sponsor ID rules are adequate. The GAO says pay-to-play disclosures on radio are useful to broadcasters, but it says they hardly cover 21st century technologies and applications. That’s led to confusion, and fines. According to the FCC, it opened 369 sponsorship identification cases from 2000-2011. In 22 instances the FCC took some sort of enforcement action. The GAO recommends the FCC update its guidance and give broadcasters more relevant examples of what’s permitted based on how the rules impact today’s programming. It says the FCC should also develop a way to resolve sponsor ID issues that may come up within a specific time frame. And the GAO says the FCC should be more transparent about its ongoing investigations and keep stations in the loop as to where things stand — including when a case is closed. As the investigative agency for Congress, the GAO’s role is advisory. But it indicates the FCC has told them they’ll consider the recommendations.

Houston’s historic KCOH moves down the dial. With the $2.141 million sale of KCOH (1430) to Guadalupe Radio Network owner La Promesa Foundation now complete, listeners today will find Houston’s historic black station on a new frequency. Under a time brokerage agreement with Liberman Broadcasting, Houston businessman Jesse Dunn’s Beyond Broadcasting is keeping the urban-talk format — and the call letters alive — on KQUE (1230). The programming moved over to its new home at 12:01am Friday. Beyond is also continuing to use KCOH’s historic studios, according to broker John Saunders, who helped coordinate the deal. It’s believed KCOH is the oldest black-formatted station in Texas.

Marketers see solid results from ‘earned’ media — and the price is right. Like a growing number of media brands speaking at the ANA Media Leadership Conference in Miami this week, MillerCoors sees a growing role for branded content to reach consumers. The :30-second spot is still alive and well, but MillerCoors media group manager Brad Feinberg said the beer company is increasingly partnering with media vendors to create content and then distribute it — not just in the form of paid buys but also through more organic sharing. It’s how brands are reacting to the personalization of advertising. “This is not intended to be a hard sell it’s meant to bring the consumer in and enjoy it so much that they share it with their network,” Feinberg explained. In that way, he said consumers are no different from programmers as they pick and choose from brands and media content to share what they like with friends. “Success to them is measured in the form of likes, shares and comments — it’s no different than a TV network,” Feinberg said. According to Spark Communications SVP of human intelligence Scott Hess, no generation is more open to participating with brands than the 75-80 million Americans born between 1982 and 2004. While Gen X-ers distrusted brands, Millennials “have the chutzpah to be engaged with brands,” he said, thanks to smartphones that serve as a navigating instrument for their lives. “Brands are now lifestyles” for Millennials, Hess said, urging marketers to use media “not only to intrude but to include.”

Inside Radio Deal Digest —Indiana & Nevada — Educational Media Foundation is selling and buying FM translators. In the first deal, it will sell the Richmond, IN-licensed translator W237AT (95.3) to Brewer Broadcasting for $50,100. EMF has used the signal to carry its “K-Love” contemporary Christian network that also airs on Richmond full-power FM WKRT (89.3). Brewer Broadcasting will use the signal to simulcast country “Kicks 96” WQLK, Muncie-Marion, IN. Meantime in Nevada, EMF is buying the Gardnerville-Minden, NV-licensed translator K228DA (93.5) from Evans Broadcasting Company for $40,000. Jerry Evans had used the translator to simulcast “My Country 1300” KCMY, Reno. EMF will use the translator to simulcast Reno market “K-Love” station KLRH (88.3).
