Market Analysis - Country Aircheck
Transcription
May 18, 2015, Issue 448 Market Analysis: Charleston, SC Ten years ago, “Chucktown” had a single Country station – iHeartMedia’s WEZL, which averaged a 7.7 share according to Nielsen Audio. In 2008, Cumulus added WIWF and average shares grew to 10.2 for the format. Three years later, Apex added a third Country station – WCKN. Since then, listening has continued to increase to a three-station average of 13.0 shares as of Fall 2014. Country Aircheck takes a closer look at the market and how this Country power trio competes in a race that seems to get tighter with every book. WEZL PD Brian Cleary says there are several reasons for increased Country listening, including the natural growth in the popularity of the format. “Part of it, too, is that the population here grew a little more than 8% since 2010,” he says. “Some of the people who’ve come into the market have brought a country sensibility; they’re fans. With the Brian Cleary market size growing, the percentage of people who like country has grown as well.” Sand Tunes: When WCKN launched in 2011, its focus was more of a classic/hit current blend. An August 2013 rebranding as “New Country, Kickin’ 92.5” brought its music more in line with WEZL’s “New Country for the Lowcountry” and WIWF’s “Nash FM 96.9.” A seven-day Mediabase analysis of Current/ Recurrent/Gold percentages for each station shows WEZL at 46/32/22, WIWF at 44/30/26 and WCKN at 47/28/26. On average, songs played on all three stations are from 2012 or newer, and while their currents lists look pretty similar, only two songs make the top five on all three (5/7-13): Keith Urban f/ Eric Church with “Raise ‘Em Up” and Tyler Farr’s “A Guy Walks Into A Bar.” (continued on page 10) Sneak Preak: Mercury’s Easton Corbin visits the WPOC/ Baltimore thoroughbreds at the Preakness Stakes over the weekend.

Label Maker: ReeSmack Last week’s profile of Thirty Tigers (CAW 5/11) showed how the company has become a $14 million business by aggregating the releases of smaller companies and taking them to market. This week, we drill deeper to look at one of those small A&R Ree Guyer sources – ReeSmack Records – and how Buchanan it, others like it, major labels and, ultimately, country music and Country radio benefit from independent success that was once unthinkable in the format. © 2 0 1 5 Co u n t r y A i rc h e c k ™ — A l l r i g h t s r e s e r v e d .

S e n d n e w s t o n e w s @ c o u n t r y a i rc h e c k . c o m May 18, 2015 The story begins two years ago when singer/songwriter Trevor Rosen told his co-publishers – Wrensong/Reynsong’s Ree Guyer Buchanan and SmackSongs’ Shane McAnally and Michael McAnally Baum – he’d formed a band. McAnally produced a few songs and the trio pitched Old Dominion to the majors. “Everybody passed,” says Buchanan. “We looked at each other and said, ‘We have these sides – let’s just keep going.’ They’d been playing a lot of club dates and we’d seen the reaction. Fans were loving it.” Buchanan, McAnally and Baum created ReeSmack and turned to Sirius/XM’s John Marks in January 2014. Marks loved what he heard and gave the group’s “Dirt On A Road” some spins. According to Buchanan, reaction was immediate. “We had haters, we had lovers,” she says. “And right away we started selling. It sold about 25,000 digital downloads in two months.” When those early figures still failed to attract major label attention, “we looked at each other again and said, ’Let’s just keep going,’” says Buchanan. “We decided to form a bigger team.” That team, comprised of Thirty Tigers, Morris Artist Mgt.’s Clint Higham, publicist Ebie McFarland and then-indie promoter Pam Newman (now in-house at Thirty Tigers) met weekly to strategize and build OD’s foundation. Marks requested a second single and “Shut Me Up” had similar satellite radio success. Newman began working terrestrial radio last July, getting about 20 stations on board. ReeSmack released the band’s EP in September and Marks requested a third single. “When we released ’Break Up With Him’ in October it was apparent right away that it was going to be the biggest single, because we started selling between 4,000 and 5,000 digital downloads a week,” says Buchanan. “And that’s when we started getting major label interest.” Negotiations with RCA began last November and in March, Old Dominion finalized their deal with the label. In addition to the impressive sales the band was already generating, Buchanan says the tipping point was the momentum OD’s team had spent two years building. “Artist development is now in the hands of publishers and producers,” she says. “There aren’t very many major labels and they’re so full with the acts they are already working. Now the labels have the luxury of jumping on things that are actually selling. It was happening with Old Dominion and they could see that. The days of signing an act that has nothing going on – the labels just don’t have time to do that. And we do have time.” Buchanan says she, McAnally and Baum never intended to be a record label; they were just trying to create an outlet for their writ- Page 3 PA G E T H R E E P I C Frog Segues: KFRG/Riverside personality Scott Ward (l) with a long-haired Tracy Lawrence during a long-lost station visit.

Because as a little independent, you still need Country radio and all the terrestrial radio stations playing your record. The majors do that the best.” Having said that, she adds if the right project came along, she would absolutely step back into the game with Thirty Tigers. “I’d love to take an artist all the way with them,” says Buchanan. “A lot of people dream about stuff but they don’t actually put in the hard work that goes with it. This team put in the work and the time. My whole philosophy in anything is, just do something – and something will happen. And this was a beautiful example.” –Wendy Newcomer ©2015 Countr y Aircheck™ — All r ights reser ved. Sign up free at w w w.countr yaircheck .com.

We had lots of long car rides singing Elvis. My dad has an incredible voice. Any vocal talent I have comes from him. I grew up watching him and trying hard to sing just like he did – and singing Elvis was the main way to do it. 2. Marty Robbins/Cool Water: My grandpa is a great storyteller. He would Cam recite that song as if he was completely parched in the desert. We’d all just die laughing. I remember the day I finally heard the song. I was so confused because I thought it should’ve sounded just like my grandpa told the story. Marty Robbins’ music is so vibey; he was such a crooner. 3. Dixie Chicks: I was obsessed with their albums in high school. Their harmonies, Natalie’s voice and that songwriting style were a huge influence on me. 4. Indigo Girls: I freaking love their harmonies. They were a big influence too. You can hear that a lot in my music. 5. Bulgarian Women’s Choir/Ergen Deda: I grew up in a choir. We sang in 14 languages so I grew up with a lot of world music. Some of my favorite songs when I was younger were Bulgarian Women’s Choir songs – things that no one else knew. [Hear it here.] It’s really dissonant and it trains your ear to like things you wouldn’t normally think you’d like. Highly regarded music you’ve never heard: Rita Ora. She’s so beautiful and I see her modeling but I don’t think I’ve ever heard her sing. I’d love to hear what she does. An “important” piece of music you just don’t get: Adele. I think she’s so good, but I didn’t understand the obsessiveness and how successful she is worldwide. Music you played incessantly: When I was little I would sing the song “Love Potion No. 9” all the time. My parents had to stop me. Obscure or non-country music everyone should listen to right now: People should listen to Sturgill Simpson’s Metamodern Sounds in Country Music. Music you’d rather not admit to enjoying: One of the first albums I bought was Ace of Base. I loved them. Bar Raised: Tyler Farr (c) celebrates his No. 1 with the Columbia staff.

Chart Chat Congrats to Tyler Farr, Norbert Nix, RJ Meacham, David Friedman and the whole Columbia promotion staff on landing this week’s No. 1 with “A Guy Walks Into A Bar.” The gold-certified track is the first single from Farr’s current album Suffer In Peace and his third chart-topper (“Redneck Crazy,” “Whiskey In My Water”). And kudos to Kris Lamb and the rest of the Dot promotion staff on securing 38 adds for Steven Tyler’s “Love Is Your Name,” topping this week’s board. Paisley Launches Crushin’ It Tour Arista’s Brad Paisley opened the Crushin’ It World Tour at the Susquehanna Bank Center in Philadelphia Friday (5/15) with help from Capitol’s Mickey Guyton and Valory’s Justin Moore. CBS Radio WXTU morning show producer Kevin Crockett was there and shares some highlights. “Mickey was great and it was actually her first big tour-type show,” Crockett says. “She talked to [MD/afternooner] Razz beforehand and asked how many people to anticipate. He casually told her there’d be about 18,000, so she gave him that look like, ‘Say what?’ But she’s crazy talented and Justin is worth the price ©2015 Countr y Aircheck™ — All r ights reser ved.

S end news to news@countr yaircheck .com May 18, 2015 OFF THE RECORD: Wade Bowen Lilbuddy Toons’ Wade Bowen puts an industry spin on the artist interview: The first time I heard myself on the radio was in a commercial and I thought that was the coolest thing ever. It was for a show in Amarillo and they were playing my song in the ad. I almost wrecked the van. One time on a radio tour we randomly walked into a station – we had been visiting another station in the city and the label guy said, “This guy won’t return my calls so we’re just going to show up.” It was awkward. We forced him to meet with Wade Bowen us, and it was kind of cool to watch him. He listened to the record, actually pulled people into the conference room and completely did a 180. That doesn’t happen a lot. Hold My Beer: Vol. 1 (with Randy Rogers) is old school. It’s fiddle and steel and as country as country music can get. It’s sad and beer drinkin’ and depressing, the way I feel country music should be. And it’s a record you can dance to. I grew up begging my parents to take me Saturday nights to the dance halls that were family-oriented, not the bars, and let me ask a girl to dance. It was so much pressure and so much fun. This record encompasses all of that. It showcases our friendship that we’ve had for years, it showcases our bands and our influences, which we listen to while we drink beer after the show every night. I do a lot of embarrassing things. The most embarrassing thing ever involved this acoustic tour Randy and I do. I’m a Dallas teams sports fan – Cowboys, Rangers Mavericks. The Mavericks won the NBA Championship, and I had a little too much to drink, and we were in San Antonio – Spurs country – playing for about 3,500 people and I accidentally said something about the Mavericks winning the championship. There were 3,500 people booing me. If I could be stuck anywhere other than home, I would love to go back to and maybe live in Ireland. My wife and I are going back in December. I just eat potatoes and stay drunk – that’s the theory there. It’s an amazing place. Page 7 of admission himself.” A handful of fans and radio folks walked away with some really big smiles. “He actually had a bar on both sides of the stage – on the stage – with real taps and probably six or seven people at each one,” Crockett says. “It was ourselves and some winners for three or four songs. It’s Brad Paisley crazy because you’re just looking out at the crowd while Brad’s running all over the place performing. It’s like you’re Norm from Cheers just sitting there taking it all in.” A warm, fuzzy and fun moment came during a band jam. “I don’t know how many guitars he gave away, but there were a lot,” Crocket promises. “One went to this little kid that he’d brought onstage to play a round of Mario Kart on the massive video board. They gave him a headset to protect his ears and the band just jammed around him while he played the video game in front of everyone. Here I am a 29-year-old man and I was jealous!” “He closed with ‘Alcohol,’ his encore,” Crocket continues. “And I’m pretty sure he opened with ‘River Bank.’ He’s won Entertainer of the Year, so he gets it for sure. He’s relentless up there and it was awesome.” The Crushin’ It World Tour rolls next into Salem, VA May 30 and Charlotte May 31.

Outside of currents, musical differences between the stations are slight, but WCKN PD Garret Doll looks for an advantage with Garret Doll ©2015 Countr y Aircheck™ — All r ights reser ved.

His gold category plays 247 unique titles to WEZL’s 206 and WIWF’s 211. WCKN has seven gold titles that spin 10 times or more, while WIWF has only one that spins that often, and WEZL doesn’t have any. “I have the ability to go out of the box and play stuff that maybe they won’t,” Doll says. “I try to find certain songs I know they’re not going to play and just play the gold library that they don’t. A good example is ‘Raised On It’ by Sam Hunt. It’s probably the most country-sounding song on that album and it’s one of those I’m playing just to play.” When it comes to quantity, WCKN plays more music – 353 titles on May 13 compared to WEZL’s 293 and WIWF’s 291. While middays are the same on all three stations at 14 songs per hour, WCKN plays more songs per hour than either of its competitors during all other dayparts, with the biggest difference in mornings. WCKN is at 12, with WEZL and WIWF playing seven and eight songs per hour, respectively. Doll says the biggest difference for his station is in the talent. “We’re local,” he says. “[iHeartMedia and Cumulus] run great radio stations, but where we’ve been able to hold our own is in our ability to be 100% local. Everybody’s here.” Both WEZL and WIWF have local talent in middays and afternoons. In mornings, WCKN’s local host Andy Webb is up against The Bobby Bones Show on WEZL and America’s Morning Show on WIWF. At night, WEZL has WMZQ/Washington’s Michael J voicetracking, while WIWF airs Nash Nights Live. Cleary thinks ‘EZL still has an edge. “We have a little bit of the advantage with the heritage we have in the market,” he says. “The WEZL’s been The WEZL for 35 years, so people get that. Not that you should ever [take it for granted], but there’s more attention now paid to branding, particularly with everybody diving in on the new country, so we’re making sure there’s a definite WEZL element to every single thing we do. It may even be overdone that way, but we’re all trying to carve that same piece out.” And the elbow room is getting squeezed. WEZL’s P12+ lead has averaged two to three shares over WIWF and WCKN, which have consistently been within a share of each other. But Fall 2014 Nielsen Audio diary ratings have WEZL, WIWF and WCKN showing a 5.4, 4.1 and 3.9, respectively. It’s the first time since WCKN’s launch that the three stations have been within a share and a half of one another. (Ed. Note: Requests for comment from WIWF were not returned by press time.) “Of course the competition’s tough every day,” says Doll. “The content for the most part is king, and when you have guys like (WEZL afternoon team) TJ & Ric across the street, who’ve been in the market for 20 years and have a huge following, it’s definitely a huge battle.” Page 12 Mercury’s Easton Corbin with Kentucky Derby and Preakness winner American Pharoah, jockey Victor Espinoza and trainer Bob Baffert. On to Belmont! Cleary says the other programmers are worthy competition. “It pisses me off,” he jokes. “You’re talking about three stations that have market grade signals, three quality companies, and whether it’s Garret or Bill [West, WIWF’s PD], they’re not dummies. They know what they’re doing. You’ve got to be on your A-game, and that raises us all up because you know you can’t take the competition for granted. But it would be nicer if one of those other stations really sucked.” Reach Cleary here and Doll here. –Jess Wright Lon Helton, lon@countryaircheck.com Chuck Aly, chuck@countryaircheck.com Russ Penuell, russ@countryaircheck.com Jess Wright, jess@countryaircheck.com Wendy Newcomer, wendy@countryaircheck.com (615) 320-1450 ©2015 Countr y Aircheck™ — All r ights reser ved.

S end news to news@countr yaircheck .com May 18, 2015 Page 15 New Country Aircheck/Mediabase Reporter Weights These are the new weights for Country Aircheck/Mediabase Reporters and Activator reporters, based on audience estimates from the Fall 2014 Nielsen Audio ratings. Weights for stations in PPM markets use a three-month average of Oct.-Nov.-Dec. AQH Persons. The weights are calculated using this formula: Market rank is multiplied by 10 and then added to the station’s AQH Persons. A station’s weight is determined by dividing the adjusted AQHP by a number that is 10% of the leading Country station’s AQH (in this case WUSN/Chicago’s 26,130 adjusted AQHP and, for Activators, WFRE/ Frederick’s 9,630 adjusted AQHP.) This calculation assigns a weight for each panelist on a 1-10 scale. These new weights are effective with this week’s Mediabase Country chart as printed in Country Aircheck.
