WHERE’S ALL THAT DIGITAL REVENUE? • What financially-strapped radio groups know about the digital revenue stream.  • Is it digital dimes or digital dollars? – how the big radio CEOs are playing it. • Look out market managers – radio groups are looking at the Cumulus model. https://lnkd.in/ei5wG56K

• Three weaknesses to exploit against iHeart, Cumulus and soon, Audacy. • Something is developing with the available radio audience – this pins it down. • Nielsen ratings doesn’t just underreport young listeners – how they force radio to make avoidable programming mistakes because of it. • Is repetition still important to grow radio ratings in a digital world of endless discovery? • The new low range demographic for today’s radio listener.

Reflecting on Today's BBC Radio Panel: Elvis Evolution & The Ethical Dimensions of Music Technology Participated in a BBC Radio panel today discussing 'Elvis Evolution' and its impact on the future of live music. Some key takeaways: Abbatars and Elvis Evolution: We delved into how these projects are pushing the boundaries of live music experiences. Live Music's Unchanging Core: Despite tech advancements, the essence of live music, the audience's experience, remains constant. Employment Shift in Music: The industry's evolution is leading to diverse job roles, from musicians to tech experts. A caller's question particularly struck me: the moral implications of reanimating artists as holograms. Far from an IP rights issue, the caller questioned the ethical aspect of interfering with an artist's afterlife. This brought a fresh perspective to the technology debate, highlighting an aspect often overlooked in our rush towards transhumanism and longevity – how to respect the sacred and elemental. Thanks to BBC Radio for the platform, and a special thanks to Elvis, for sparking such an intriguing observation.https://https://lnkd.in/er-T3XUg #MusicTechnology #EthicsInArt #BBCRadio #ElvisEvolution #Transhumanism

The music industry has produced more new pop stars this year than any in recent memory. As reported by Lucas Shaw, “almost 80 artists have had a song reach Spotify’s Global top 50 chart for the first time in the first six months of 2024, the most in the last five years.” ”More artists, not just songs, have been breaking,” said Aaron Bay-Schuck, the chief executive officer of Warner Records. Which has me wondering, what’s happening in Australia? With many a week going by without a single Australian artist, let alone a new one, on the ARIA Singles or Album Charts - both a metric for physical sales and digital equivalents - and one major label head telling me that they can imagine a world where they don’t have a local A&R team given how hard it is to break new artists and acts, what makes this market so different? And what can be done to fix it? Prominence laws for Australian music, as is being considered by the Government for Australian film and television, that would require Spotify, TikTok, and other streamers to profile local artists? Local quotas, that perhaps not driving or requiring investment in local recording, could be used by artists for marketing or tour support?

• The financial indicator setting off alarms. • The prospect of fixing it soon. • There is a buyer – is iHeart ready to consummate a deal. • Whispers about some moves they will make. • Structural declining alarms in the financial community.
