9. Myth vs. Reality for Riverside/San Bernardino Advertisers!
Myth: Cable reaches everybody.
Reality: Only 54% of the Riverside/San Bernardino households subscribes to cable.
That leaves almost ½ of the market uncovered by cable.
- Almost 91% Adults 18+ in Riverside/San Bernardino listen to radio each week!
- Almost 96% Adults 25-54 w/HHI $50K+ in Riv/San Bern. listen to radio each week!
Myth: Cable advertising is efficient.
Reality: To effectively buy cable, an advertiser must buy multiple zones. And, of course, with
each zone an advertiser adds, the cost goes up.
Radio reaches the ENTIRE metro with every single commercial it airs.
Because, cable TV gives the viewer so many different channels to choose from, its very
fragmented. And, a LARGE number of cable viewers are turning in for a non-commercial
environment (HBO, Showtime, etc.). As you can see by the ratings, unless it’s sports, wrestling
or on Nickelodeon, they’re watching network television.
Example of Nielsen Top 10 Cable Shows:
Week of 3/16/09-3/22/09
Program Network
1) WWE Entertainment (WWE Raw) USA
2) Saturday Movie “Northern Lights” LIF
3) WWE Entertainment (WWE Raw) USA
4) Spongebob NICK
5) NCIS USA
6) Hannah Montana DSNY
7) NCIS USA
8) Spongebob NICK
9) Spongebob NICK
10) NCIS USA
Myth: Cable is unaffected by Satellite TV.
Reality: 43% of the Adults 18+ subscribe to satellite TV instead of cable and on
Direct TV, there are NO local commercials. With Adults 25-54 w/HHI $50K+ it
goes up to 55% that subscribe to satellite TV.

11. WHY COUNTRY ROCKS!
Country rocks, and not just in a boot-scootin’ boogie. Today’s country has hip-hop’s “hip” and rock’s backbeat – and
a whole fresh generation of singers and fans.
In recent years, country music has broadened its base beyond its traditional red station, good-ol’-boy fan base and
now counts as many urban/hipster listeners as conventional rural ones. Country superstars include the young, the
restless, the seriously rocking, even tortured alt-indie darlings.
Time to stop fretting over hip-hop and rock ‘n’ roll and just run with that country sound you know you love. Here are
the top 10 reasons why country is cool:
1. Country is sexy. Sugarland would soar even if Jennifer Nettles and Kristian Bush weren’t so damn cute, but it
doesn’t hurt. Brad Paisley and sweet “Firecracker” Josh Turner bring on audiences’ collective sighs.
2. Country’s blurring musical boundaries. Sugarland teamed up with Bon Jovi and fans on both sides of the
musical aisle went wild; same with Loretta Lynn and Jack White. Kelly Clarkson brings her Joplin-like belting to
her sweet duet with Reba. LeAnn Rimes duets with Brit-soulster Joss Stone. Pop darlings Rascal Flatts ended
2006 as the top-selling musical act – of ALL genres.
3. Country may just be the new hip-hop. It’s been said that the two styles of music have far more in common
than their differences, with both styles starting in poor, disenfranchised groups and then crossing over to touch
millions. And just how middle-class suburban kids embraced hip-hop, arty city slickers have begun to embrace
their inner twang. Is the let-loose Gretchen Wilson anthem “Here for the Party” really all that different from R. Kelly’s
“Freaky in the Club”?
4. Country embraces the old with the new. It’s great to see new and ultracreative work from longtime faves
such as Reba McEntire, George Strait – even semi retired Garth Brooks, back on the charts after years of lying low.
Brooks & Dunn, Kenny Chesney and others are gradually making the transition from hot new thing to living
legends.
5. Longtime indie faves are finally being recognized in the country mainstream. Case in point: Alison
Krauss, who toured the small time fiddle circuit as a teen phenom for years before showcasing her angelic voice
and finally moving front-and-center as Nashville royalty.
6. Country’s laid back. Need we look any further than longtime beach boy, and current nominee Jimmy Buffett,
who teamed up with Strait and Alan Jackson for “Hey Good Looking.”
7. Country’s all jacked up. If you want to get on your feet, look no further than Gretchen Wilson, the Dixie Chicks,
Rascal Flatts, the Wreckers, Sugarland or Kenny Chesney.
8. Country rules and American Idols reign. Taylor who? Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood and Kellie Pickler
are the new princesses of the charts, courtesy of their country leanings.
9. Country’s got serious talent – and room for it to flourish. Martina McBride and Sara Evans have two of
the all-time great pop-singer voices and could give Beyonce or Whitney Houston a run for their money. And
Rascal Flatts, Kenny Chesney, LeAnn Rimes and Faith Hill are just a few crossover stars on the pop charts.
10. Country’s family values rock us all. Post-Sept. 11th, Americans have embraced their own country and also
put more emphasis on family. It’s country that gives a voice to that, and not all in a jingoistic way (though Toby
Keith, we salute you). On scales large – proud of country and our troops – and small – when Faith Hill goes all
“Keep your hands off my man” – how can we not applaud that?
COUNTRY REFLECTS WHAT’S REAL AND IMPORTANT !!

12. Why Not Other Media?
NEWSPAPERS
Combined, the three leading daily newspapers in Riverside, San Bernardino
and Ontario do not reach 69% of Inland Empire households.
They share the problem of newspapers all over the United States - shrinking
share of time spent with newspapers. Example: All newspapers combined
get only about 1/4th the time spent on radio daily.
TELEVISION
Commercial television in the Inland Empire is Los Angeles based T.V. that
puts it far beyond the price range of almost all Inland Empire advertisers
(not to mention that 80% of the circulation is waste).
Inland Empire T.V. stations are either home shopping, Hispanic or public.
CABLE
There are almost a dozen competing cable companies with systems in the
Inland Empire. None provides separately any significant coverage.
Programs available to local advertisers have very small audiences - a 2 rating
(i.e. 2% of the households) is exceptional. Cable is largely a children’s
medium - 43 of the 50 leading cable shows are on Nickelodeon.
LOS ANGELES RADIO
Of the 70+ stations that serve the Los Angeles metro area, only three or
four deliver the same share of audience in the Inland Empire as in the Los
Angeles - Orange County market.
Unlike Orange County, where all the leading stations are Los Angeles-based,
three of the top five stations in the Inland Empire are Riverside-San
Bernardino based.
DIRECT MAIL
There are at least a dozen varieties of direct mail. All are very expensive per
household reached. The least expensive direct mail exceeds $30 a
thousand. It is the kind of junk mail supported by neighborhood
merchants who can’t afford anything else. Studies show that it is routinely
discarded by the most desirable households. More effective direct mail,
using purchased lists, costs $300 - $500 per thousand and often fails because
the lists are inaccurate and outdated.
