TV Audience Erosion Continuesnew
The ongoing audience and advertiser erosion in broadcast network television will accelerate this year, as consumers shift more of their time and money to other technologies and media, and as more ad dollars migrate to cable. Television-driven media concerns will continue to refute these permanent, dramatic changes as a fluke even as it eats through their bottom line. That is the troubled picture the Morgan Stanley media research team painted in a client call and corresponding report this week that mirrors many of the ongoing concerns and prognostications I have written about in this newsletter during the past year.

Former New York Press Owner Discusses His Return to "Tinytown"new
Haunted by what he witnessed from the roof of his building near the World Trade Center on 9/11, Russ Smith sold his upstart weekly, New York Press, and moved his family to Baltimore. He has disparaged the city where he once edited Baltimore City Paper as "Tinytown," but old friends say he has a strange way of showing his affection. Former City Paper staff writer Michael Anft offers an in-depth look at the man who now writes a conservative column for the Baltimore weekly he once owned. Smith has said that "if you wanted to find a list of his enemies, all you had to do was pick up the Baltimore white pages," Anft says.

Radio Ad Slump Continuesnew
Radio ad spending, which enjoyed a brief respite earlier this year, continued to slump in November, with a fall in local and national ad revenue compared to a year ago. And while radio companies said fourth-quarter revenues would be hurt by comparisons with 2002's political spending, that wasn't the story behind the 4 percent decline in overall advertising revenues in November 2003. National ad sales, which wouldn't be affected by political ad spending, dropped 6 percent during the month compared with November 2002. Local ad sales dropped by 4 percent. The data was released Tuesday by the Radio Advertising Bureau.
