Resilience In Uncertain Times
Water Is Wet, Fire Is Hot And Life Is Uncertain! - Peter Crone
The only thing certain in life is uncertainty. This past year brought immense hardship to the Radio and Record industries. Touring came to a standstill, radio was strongly impact by losing local programmers, sales, management engineering and on-air talent to national initiatives. Meanwhile, labels downsized local national promo teams leaving countless professionals facing financial loss and heartache as we all strive for whatever a "new normal" really is.

They will discuss how he overcame the loss of his 30 year career at crosstown KROQ, to bounce back with a vengeance joining KLOS. They will talk about resilience, loss of identity, being true to your authentic self, turning fear into fuel and much more that will have a positive effect on all who watch this insightful session at the ALL ACCESS AUDIO SUMMIT.

NIELSEN AUDIO RATINGS - WHY PPM & DIARY METRICS ARE MORE IMPORTANT THAN EVER TO RADIO'S ECONOMIC RECOVERY
Everyone has had a very hard year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It has disrupted the US economy and disrupted radio listening patterns, not to mention just about all of our daily habits. The Nielsen Radio Ratings data is radio's currency - what can we ask of Nielsen to help rebuild radio's story not just today, but to add to our credibility in the future?
NIELSEN AUDIO -- WHAT'S THE FUTURE OF MEASUREMENT AS IT PERTAINS TO RADIO PROGRAMMING?
Radio in the Top 50 markets lives and breathes by NIELSEN RADIO PPM scores. Those markets 51+ are still using Diary methodology. Does the current PPM device help or hurt programming? Many say it's out of step with radio's current needs. Is NIELSEN accurately capturing what's happening and we just don't like the results? Or, does NIELSEN need to update its technology to better sample radio users in all the ways that currently and in the future, more accurately measure radio listening and consumption in all of its forms?
