The local media landscape, it's no secret, is dominated by the
giants of media: News Corp., NBC Universal, Disney, Univision,
Tribune, Clear Channel, Cablevision and Time Warner.
With so many of the big guys operating several properties across
media segments (NBC, for example, last year reorganized all of its
local assets into one Local Media division), New York may be one of
the premiere markets in which a local advertiser can assemble an
integrated media campaign, embracing traditional and nontraditional
media.
The local TV market is now into its third year as a local people
meter market, but the radio industry will need to wait another nine
months before making the transition to electronic measurement.
Arbitron, facing similar controversy that Nielsen went through when
it rolled out LPMs, late last year was forced to delay the December
launch of the portable people meter radio ratings service until
September.
Media companies don't make programming changes lightly in a market
where so many dollars are at stake. Still, some very significant
changes promise to shake things up in the new year. In radio, Don
Imus, fired by CBS Radio in April, returned to the airwaves in
early December on Citadel's WABC-AM, pushing out longtime top-rated
morning show Curtis and Kuby. Urban bad boys Star and Buc Wild,
fired from Clear Channel in 2006, will return in early January on
independently owned Long Island station, WNYZ-FM.
For the first time, WCBS-TV's local news in November finished in
second place among adults 25-54, behind WABC-TV in local news at 5,
6 and 11 p.m. Meanwhile, WNBC's experiment to drop its 5 p.m. local
news for a half-hour at 7 p.m. didn't pan out. This month, bowing
to long-ingrained viewing habits, the station will bring it
back.
