SNL Kagan Publishes 2008 Updated Analysis of TV and Radio Market Revenues

Monterey, Calif. (PRWEB) June 18, 2008 -- In an updated analysis of radio and television market revenues, SNL Kagan (www.snlkagan.com) identifies small-to-midsize markets in the Pacific region, especially in metro areas with large Hispanic populations, as having the greatest growth potential. The report, "Radio/TV Station Annual Outlook: Market-by-Market Revenue Projections,? published annually by SNL Kagan for over 20 years, takes into account overall broadcast revenue trends, market demographics and expected ad revenues from the presidential election in determining a market?s growth potential.

Radio Market Revenues by CAGR Rank

CAGR Rank, Market, ?07 Market Rank, CAGR ?07-?12, Retail Growth ?07-?12

1. San Diego, CA, 17, 2.0%, 11.9%

2. Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario, CA, 26, 1.9%, 10.1%

3. Stockton, CA, 79, 1.9%, 11.9%

4. San Jose, CA, 35, 1.9%, 8.9%

5. Fresno, CA, 66, 1.9%, 10.7%

SNL Kagan estimates five-year annual revenue growth of 1.1% for radio markets, despite a 2.5% drop in total radio revenue in 2007. San Diego tops the list of fastest-growing markets, largely due to a substantial Hispanic population, the shifting economic focus to high-tech jobs and a five-year retail growth rate of 11.9% (well above the national average of 6.5%). Overall, radio revenues in the Pacific region are expected to grow rapidly, with 13 of the top 20 markets by revenue residing in California.

Television Market Revenues by CAGR Rank

CAGR Rank, Market, ?07 Market Rank, CAGR ?07-?12, Retail Growth ?07-?12

1. Las Vegas, NV, 43, 6.2%, 7.9%

2. San Diego, CA, 27, 6.1%, 11.9%

3. Los Angeles, CA, 2, 5.7%, 7.7%

4. Phoenix, AZ, 12, 5.6%, 6.4%

5. San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose, CA, 6, 5.6%, 7.3%

Likewise, SNL Kagan projects growth in TV revenues (3.9% over the next five years) despite a 2007 decline of 8.5% generated by the writers? strike and advertising migration to the Internet. TV ad revenues are expected to rise 8.8% in 2008 from TV ad buys connected with the presidential election. The largest growth will likely be in the Pacific and Mountain regions, with Las Vegas and San Diego at the top of the list.

At the other end of the spectrum, the Great Lakes and Central South regions rank lowest for both radio and TV revenue projections. Slow retail growth and auto industry layoffs are the main factors for the depressed outlook in the Great Lakes, where revenue is projected to grow 2.7% for TV and 0.9% for radio. The Central South, particularly the Mississippi markets still recovering from Hurricane Katrina, faces tough times ahead, with projected revenue growth of 2.8% for TV and 0.8% for radio.

Promoting Audio Books For Quick Profits.
The Ideal situation when doing affiliate marketing is to be able to test quickly without much effort. Then just start checking of a list to see what works and what does not. Pay per click works great for this but often times you need a website because if others are promoting the same web pages you cannot advertise it on Google. So what I do is promote audio books from a site that has many options for me to integrate their content in to my site. This allows me to take the audio content that is relevant to my sites theme. The key here is the ability to use that content to your advantage with fewer restrictions. This also applies to the way you advertise into given pages without having intense competition.
