Another forecaster is envisioning a grim outlook in 2009 for both radio and spot Television . According to SNL Kagan’s updated Radio / Television Station yearly Outlook, radio cash will drop fifteen %, only a touch better than spot Television that may decline 15.7 p.c. The prediction follows steep declines in 2008. Radio stopped the year down ten % to $17.7 bn. and spot Television was down 6.9 p.c to $20.1 bln.

SNL Kagan is predicting a turnaround in 2010, with modest expansion for both media in 2013. In the five-year prediction, radio cash will decline by a CAGR of 1.9 percent and Television money will drop two p.c.

Thanks to the crisis in the car industry, markets in Michigan will suffer the most, sending radio down 16.3 p.c and Television down 17.7 p.c this year. By contrast, Washington, D.C. Will hold up better than other markets, with a five-year CAGR of -0.4 p.c for radio and -0.2 % for Television , followed by San Diego, with a CAGR of -0.4 p.c for radio and -0.5 p.c for TV. Stations that harness new media and leverage their local relations regionally should be ready to survive the downturn. “Those radio and Television station owners who may be able to reduce costs whilst continuing to transition their business models to develop digital assets and non-traditional cash streams will survive and reemerge as better operators,” expounded Robin Flynn, senior researcher at SNL Kagan. “If broadcasters have a benefit over Web firms, it is their reach inside local communities, and their monetary success will rely on how they’re employed to meet the requirements of the local market.”.
