NIELSEN: Classic Rock Leads The Pack In Summertime Format Listening Trends

THE MOUTH, JULY 17TH, 2017 –– Nielsen’s June portable people meter (PPM) insights shows in looking at major music formats across the first five months of the year (January through May) that in May, Classic Rock listener shares surged, and comparing the most recent June results to the rest of 2017, the format has a substantial early lead in terms of summertime increase. In Persons 6+ AQH Share Jan-May 17 Average June 17 % change Classic Hits 5.2% 5.4% +4% Classic Rock 5.2% 5.7% +9% Country 7.5% 7.8% +3% Urban Contemporary 3.7% 3.9%* +4% Source: Nielsen *new record

However, the summer is far from over, with two survey months to go. And as last year proved, a late closer can upset the race: Classic Rock closed the summer of 2016 strongly, outpacing Classic Hits which previously had been the format of the summer for two straight years. In June, Urban Contemporary (a format also referred to as hip-hop) set new records for share of audience across all three of the demographics we profile. And this builds on the format’s overall performance this year, which is its best year ever in PPM measurement.

Urban Contemporary April 2017 May 2017 June 2017 Persons 6+ 3.7% 3.8% 3.9%* Persons 18-34 6.8% 7.0% 7.1%* Persons 25-54 4.5% 4.6% 4.7%* *new record Source: Nielsen. Despite this strong performance, Urban Contemporary isn’t necessarily a lock to be “format of the summer,” and it all comes down to the math. Millennials have played a key role in driving this sustained growth in Urban Contemporary listening. Among listeners aged 18-34, Urban Contemporary first cracked the 5%-share threshold (hitting a 5.0% average quarter hour [AQH] audience share) in November 2012. And if you look back to the summer of 2011, the format had a 4.7% share. This year, it is peaking at a 7.1% share and is now the third most-listened to radio format among Millennials behind Pop Contemporary Hit Radio (11.7%) and Country (8.7%). 1

WHAS Louisville Turning 95

THE MOUTH, JULY 17TH, 2017 ––It began on July 18, 1922 and over the next 95 years would evolve as one of the top powerhouse stations in radio - a . In the 60's and 70's it featured a myriad of legendary hosts, including names such as Milton Metz, Gary Burbank, Jerry David Melloy and Wayne Perkey and numerousothers. Terry Meiners tells WHAS TV, "I came to WHAS in 1985 because I worked for a ruckus morning show and they thought you know what we need to inject a little more steam into WHAS Radio and I thought well I'm 28 years old I need to grow up so I decided I needed to jump over here and do talk radio and I've loved it every minute since."

"There's nothing like a two-way conversation with someone on the radio because it's long form, it's unedited and a person feels at ease to start telling their story," Meinerssaid. But perhaps the best part of WHAS is the one organization that has kept WHAS-TV and radio connected after all these years. The reach of WHAS extends far beyond Kentuckiana. Because of its 50,000-watt iHeart signal, it has beamed out to two-thirds of America.
