Quick Draw Show Planning Radio stations host concerts all the time, and with a year or more of planning and a budget in place, those concerts usually turn out pretty great. So imagine putting on a major concert in fewer than four months. That’s what iHeartMedia/Lexington OM Mi-chael Jordan faced when stepping into the PD chair for the retiring WAMZ/Louisville PD/afternoon personality Coyote Calhoun. Calhoun revealed his end-of-the-year retirement last July (CAT 7/15). While Jordan wasn’t officially named to replace him until

Country’s 18-34s: Bailing Already? In 2014, Country radio’s record summer was immediately followed by a record decline, particularly among younger demos. Big deal or not? Nielsen VP/Programming Business Partner Jon Miller shared his thoughts with Country Aircheck. “One of the benefits of PPM is that you can see really quickly how tastes and habits are changing,” Miller says. “What jumps out is that the format hit this really great peak in the summer and then

six months later the declines were notice-able. I don’t know if six months is enough to say that the format is in trouble or the sky’s falling, because it’s not. But it’s an interesting trend that after several years of sustained growth you can’t ignore.” Here are the numbers. Overall, yearly Coun-try radio share grew consecutively from 2011 to 2014, finishing the latter with an 8.1 (P6+), 9.7 (P18-34) and 7.9 (P25-54). All-time peaks for each demo came in June of 2014 with an

8.6 (P6+), 10.6 (P18-34) and 8.4 (P25-54). A record six consecutive months of overall decline followed, resulting in the greatest summer to year-end drop in the PPM era. The decline is especially noticeable in the younger end of the audience (see tables page 8). So which formats grew as Country declined? “I looked mainly among 18-34 because it’s been pretty consistent the last couple of years and because this year the declines there were largest,” Miller says. “Men 18-34 dropped 18% from the middle of the year to De-cember and that’s pretty sharp. The two formats that grew were Sports and Urban Contemporary. While none of us would say Country’s No. 1 competitor is Urban, you can’t ignore that it had a great year. It was huge. All the buzz has been about the new Classic Hip-Hop format and there are Country audience members that are into both. Sports also makes some sense.

three months later (BN 10/16), he started working on the Dec. 3 Coyote Acoustic Concert in August. Considering the caliber of talent, the size of the audience – 17,000 fans – and the quality of the show, Country Aircheck caught up with Jordan to find out how he pulled it all off. First, there was the matter of booking talent. By the time the show was announced in November (BN 11/13), Luke Bryan, Toby Keith, Little Big Town, Jake Owen, Chris Young, Montgomery Gen-try, Craig Morgan, John Michael Montgomery, Kristian Bush, Eric Paslay and Maddie & Tae were confirmed. “There were only a few managers and labels involved really early on,” Jordan says. “Once we started getting some of the key artists locked in, then we started to branch out more, bring more people into the loop.” Jordan says Keith and Bryan were the first to jump in, but it took a while. “It was a lot of hurry up and wait. But in the end it all pulled together.” He adds that as each artist confirmed, he’d update the timeline so they’d know exactly how long the show was going to be. “Frankly, we thought the show might have gone a little bit too long but there were so many great artists onstage, we were ok with that,” he says. Choosing the venue was the next step, and Jordan says that was easy – the KFC Yum Center was the perfect place. “It’s the cream of the crop,” he says. “We believed the level and number of artists we had required a building of that size.” For production, Jordan hired Lexington-based Joseph Lloyd, who also happens to be Jason Aldean’s production manager. Lloyd brought in a crew from Nashville, many of whom also work for Aldean. “We wanted it to be professional, we wanted it to be very smooth and we wanted to make sure that the artists got everything they needed to put on a great performance,” says Jordan. “It’s a challenge playing an acoustic show for 17,000 people. With the LED screens and the production we put in place I think everybody was really happy.” While the artists donated their time in honor of Coyote and the show’s beneficiary, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, paying for a venue and high-quality production with little notice doesn’t come easy on most radio station budgets. “There were sponsorships involved, and that covered the costs of the building and production and video,” Jordan says. “We also knew that with the lineup we had there was a good chance of us getting to the break-even point.” Even with only three weeks of promotion, they did more than break even. The initial plan was to sell 10,000 seats but those were gone eight minutes after tickets went on sale. Within 44 min-utes, another 7,000 were sold, the venue was full, and the concert raised more than $245,000 for St. Jude.

“We couldn’t have done it without our partners in Nashville,” says Jordan. “There were so many people who stepped up and made phone calls and took a chance.” Jordan adds that the honoree being who he was helped with that. “I don’t think I would have been able to pull it off if it wasn’t to honor a guy who’s been at WAMZ and in the business for 35 years. I don’t think it would have been that easy.” Jordan says the Coyote Acoustic Concert will now be an annu-al – albeit smaller – event. “And now I’ve got more time to plan for it,” he says.

Chart Chat Congrats to Eric Church, Royce Risser, Jimmy Rector, Katie Dean and the entire EMI Nashville promotion staff on scoring this week’s No. 1 with “Talladega.” The song is the second chart-topper from The Outsiders, joining “Give Me Back My Hometown.” Kudos are also extended to Jack Purcell and the Big Machine crew on landing 66 adds for Tim McGraw’s “Diamond Rings And Old Barstools,” topping this week’s board.

OFF THE RECORD: LOGAn MIzE

Arista’s Logan Mize puts an industry spin on the artist interview: Growing up in Clearwater, KS I listened to KFDI and KZSN in Wichita. I started playing piano around age seven and I was always too shy to sing. At 15 I got a guitar and started teaching myself chords. Then I went to my first Kenny Chesney concert. That’s when I knew this is what I wanted to do. My previous radio tour was on my own about two or three years ago for

my independent record. I did it in my ‘89 Chevy station wagon named Glenn. It didn’t have air conditioning then and the trip went through Alabama and Arkansas in late July. I’d pull up to these radio stations and walk in covered in sweat, so I learned to keep a stack of shirts in the back seat. People thought I was crazy. You see [artists] sitting in Nashville waiting for their turn and I thought I’d go make my own. I was just trying to make something out of nothing. I met Glenn the station wagon when one of my friends showed up with him during a string of dates out west in support of my second LP Nobody In Nashville. Before that, when we’d have write nights, me and my friend would have a few beers and end up on eBay bidding on old station wagons. We had this plan to get a camera crew, drive from Texas to Canada and film this documentary on the people of the Great Plains. Well he showed up at my album release party in a $500 station wagon. We’ve driven it all over the country and it’s turned out to be one of the most reliable vehicles we’ve ever owned. I paid $250 for my half of it and we split custody. By the way people talk, you get scared that the radio tour is going to be like boot camp – like you’re going to show up and they’re going to beat you with bars of soap in a sock. But then you get out there and people are fun and want to hang out. I’ve enjoyed it and it’s so much easier than when I did it on my own. Back then I was doing everything – loading gear, driving the vehi-cle. Now people are helping me and it’s great and everyone’s fun.

(continued from page 1)Country’s 18-34s: Bailing Already?

While it’s too soon to definitively name culprits, there’s certain-ly something happening with the audience. “When formats move around like this, it’s usually due to a lot of factors,” notes Miller.

“But it’s interesting that 18-34, where you saw the most growth the last two years, is where you see the most declines. We know they’re younger, more apt to use other sources to listen and are hard to keep loyal. Country did a great job of growing that demo.

Church, Higher: EMI/Nashville’s Eric Church (c) celebrates “Talladega” hitting No. 1 with (l-r) the label’s Jimmy Rector, Graham Brothers’ Paul Yates, KMLE/Phoenix’s Andrea Burtscher, Tim Richards and Chris Matthews, Dena Jackson and KIIM/Tucson’s Buzz Jackson, Tammy Geofferies and KNIX/Phoenix’s Steve Geofferies and EMI’s Ron Bradley.

More Bell Cow: Saturday Night Live host and musical guest Blake Shelton corrals his band and crew for a memory making shot on-set last week.

So the question now is can that continue? Six months from now as we hit the summer of 2015, what’s 18-34 going to look like for Country? Is it going to be back up? Or was the high water mark last summer?“ In contrast to Miller’s bird’s-eye view of the format, what’s happening at the market level? “It’s hard to get a grasp on some of these demos sometimes from the chair that I’m in,” says WLHK/Indianapolis PD Fritz Moser. “Because you might get a couple of heavy users in the right demographic and you’ve got them for two

solid years. And that’s going to weigh in your favor. When they go away you start getting nervous, but we aren’t seeing any softening at this point. Both us and our competitor were top five most of last year 18-34; it’s the cell that we both seem to still be holding onto. In fact I just had a meeting with one of our sales reps looking for added value that I didn’t feel bad about because the buy went from $65,000 last year to $135,000 this year precisely because we’re so strong 18-34.”

Promoter Adelle Borchetta discusses her most influential music.1. Trisha Yearwood, May 18, 2002, Met-ropolitan Park, FL: I’ve been to a number of pretty amazing shows in my lifetime. But this is the one that still gives me chills. She was with the Jacksonville Symphony Orches-tra, it was an outdoor concert and I was in the front row. Perfect night and the most perfect voice I’ve ever heard in my life. When she sang “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” it was

something I will never forget. 2. Train, last year: They have been my favorite band since “Meet Virginia.” I finally got to see them live, meet Pat Monahan (dream come true) and talk with the band. Coolest guys ever! We need more real talent like that in this industry; Pat’s voice and songwriting skills are like no other. 3. Jimmy Wayne/I Love You This Much: One of my favorite songs ever by one of my favorite artists. It just resonates with me, I cry every time I hear it. The video is amazing!4. Tim McGraw f/Faith Hill/Meanwhile Back At Mamas: Makes me appreciate the simple things in life and fall even more in love with living on a little horse farm just out of town. Definitely my favorite single Tim has ever released.5. Lee Ann Womack, The Way I’m Livin’: It’s my favorite new album. She threw caution to the wind and made the album she wanted to make without regard for what radio would think. Fantastic, heartfelt album. Can’t stop listening …buy it!•A highly regarded song or album you’ve never heard: Taylor Swift’s new pop album. But ... never say never!•An “important” piece of music you just don’t get: Lorde. I don’t have any desire to listen to her music. Sorry, fans!•An album you played or listened to incessantly: Every Trisha Yearwood album. She is my idol and I made a complete fan of myself when I met her with my brother years ago at CRS. I’m sure she thinks I’m crazy! Regardless, that voice … there is nothing more raw, beautiful and real.•One obscure or non-country song everyone should listen to right now: Anything by Grace Potter & the Nocturnals. She is a bad ass!•Music you’d rather not admit to enjoying: Ariana Grande. Super fun music. She is totally the next Mariah Carey!

Compared to 2014, the summer to year-end decline in 2013 was actually worse at KWNR/Las Vegas. “Here the summer is when a lot of people stay inside,” notes PD JoJo Turnbeaugh. “So I do think it’s treated a little bit differently.” He says the station in 2013 went 2.8, 2.3, 2.0 and 1.7 in Sep-tember, October, November and December, respectively, Persons 18-34. In 2014 those respective surveys delivered a 2.4, 3.3, 3.5 and 2.4. “So it was significantly worse in 2013 and year-over-year we’re actually up where we want to be.” In any event, “Some really good conversa-tions are going to occur around this at CRS,” Miller says. “Have we reached some sort of tipping point? Has the saturation of the current style of Country hit a point where the audience is fatigued? I’m certainly not saying that it is – first of all you need more time and more data. But a six-month trend of declines is something that can’t be ignored.” See Miller dive much deeper into Country’s 2014 numbers at CRS 2015 and reach him here.
