He and his neighbors pleaded with the driver, but to no avail. The machine uprooted the fence Vasquez had built around his home and left it smashed in the dirt. Then, the forklift’s metal tines lifted the side of one trailer high into the air. It groaned and tipped over, with a family’s possessions still inside. “We were scared,” Vasquez remembers. “I felt it shouldn’t be happening, that it showed a complete lack of respect. But who was there to speak for us?”

Eight farmworker families lived in this tiny “colonia,” or settlement, on the ranch of Marjorie Bowen. Their rented trailers weren’t in great shape. Cracks around the windows let in rain and constant dust, which carried with it all the fertilizer and chemicals used to kill insects on the nearby vines. Some trailers had holes in the floors. None had heat in the winter or air conditioning in the summer.

The report, "Radio/TV Station Annual Outlook: Market-by-Market Revenue Projections,” published annually by SNL Kagan for over 20 years, takes into account overall broadcast revenue trends, market demographics and expected ad revenues from the presidential election in determining a market’s growth potential.

Radio Market Revenues by CAGR Rank

CAGR Rank, Market, ‘07 Market Rank, CAGR ‘07-‘12, Retail Growth ‘07-‘12

1. San Diego, CA, 17, 2.0%, 11.9%

2. Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario, CA, 26, 1.9%, 10.1%

3. Stockton, CA, 79, 1.9%, 11.9%

4. San Jose, CA, 35, 1.9%, 8.9%

5. Fresno, CA, 66, 1.9%, 10.7%

SNL Kagan estimates five-year annual revenue growth of 1.1% for radio markets, despite a 2.5% drop in total radio revenue in 2007. San Diego tops the list of fastest-growing markets, largely due to a substantial Hispanic population, the shifting economic focus to high-tech jobs and a five-year retail growth rate of 11.9% (well above the national average of 6.5%). Overall, radio revenues in the Pacific region are expected to grow rapidly, with 13 of the top 20 markets by revenue residing in California.

Television Market Revenues by CAGR Rank

CAGR Rank, Market, ‘07 Market Rank, CAGR ‘07-‘12, Retail Growth ‘07-‘12

1. Las Vegas, NV, 43, 6.2%, 7.9%

2. San Diego, CA, 27, 6.1%, 11.9%

3. Los Angeles, CA, 2, 5.7%, 7.7%

4. Phoenix, AZ, 12, 5.6%, 6.4%

5. San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose, CA, 6, 5.6%, 7.3%

Likewise, SNL Kagan projects growth in TV revenues (3.9% over the next five years) despite a 2007 decline of 8.5% generated by the writers’ strike and advertising migration to the Internet. TV ad revenues are expected to rise 8.8% in 2008 from TV ad buys connected with the presidential election. The largest growth will likely be in the Pacific and Mountain regions, with Las Vegas and San Diego at the top of the list.

At the other end of the spectrum, the Great Lakes and Central South regions rank lowest for both radio and TV revenue projections. Slow retail growth and auto industry layoffs are the main factors for the depressed outlook in the Great Lakes, where revenue is projected to grow 2.7% for TV and 0.9% for radio. The Central South, particularly the Mississippi markets still recovering from Hurricane Katrina, faces tough times ahead, with projected revenue growth of 2.8% for TV and 0.8% for radio.

Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths among Hispanic women.

That is a fact. As to why, that is a little more complicated to determine. Researchers seem to think that it is a combination of socioeconomic and cultural factors.

Being at a higher poverty level than non-Hispanic white women, more Latinas lack medical insurance, which puts them at a disadvantage in having adequate health care. Then, of course, there is the lack of awareness, due in part to the language barrier and conservative cultural stigma about how women should treat their bodies."

The company announced the new phase following the National Association of Broadcasters Education Foundation event in Washington, D.C. at which it received the Service to America President’s Special Award for its multi-media digital transition awareness campaign.

“Escuadrón Digital” will reach out directly to communities across the country through local events, DTV Town Hall meetings and by deploying street teams that visit community and senior centers and select homes. The “Escuadrones” (Squads) will help viewers determine if television sets are analog or digital, help with coupon applications, as well as assist with the purchase and installation of converter boxes.

“Univision is the champion of Hispanic America. In this role we recognize that it is key to inform and motivate our viewers to take action on DTV as early as possible and ensure a smooth transition,” said Cesar Conde, executive vice president and chief strategy officer, Univision Communications Inc. “‘Escuadrón Digital’ builds on an extremely successful campaign to date, leverages our understanding and connection to our viewers and adds a personal approach to our awareness efforts.”

As part of the “Escuadrón Digital” effort, Univision is creating a national group that features Carlos Calderón, host of Galavisión’s “Acceso Máximo” (All Access), as the squad captain and an analog-to-digital ‘geek’ who will give viewers a digital analysis of their homes; Tony Dandrades, from Univision’s popular newsmagazine show “Primer Impacto” (First Impact), as the converter box tech who will demonstrate how to install converter boxes; digi diva Lilia Rodriguez Luciano from TeleFutura’s “Escandalo TV” (ShowBiz TV), who will help a selected viewer purchase an appropriate converter box; and the beloved Martica from “El Gordo y La Flaca” (The Scoop and the Skinny) who will help the squad get ready for their “missions” with her delicious coffee. These efforts will be replicated at the local level by the Univision Television Group.

The footage from the squad’s missions and assignments will premiere in July 2008 as part of “TV Digital…Estas Preparado?” (Digital TV…Are you ready?), a Univision Network special. Some of the squad’s assignments will also be featured in 30-second vignettes that will air on the network through February 2009. The “Escuadrón Digital” initiative also includes in-program education segments in national shows, national radio public service announcements (PSA’s) and a dedicated microsite on Univision.com (Uniclave: TV Digital) with comprehensive information and links to the coupon application program.

Univision launched the first and most aggressive, multi-media digital transition awareness campaign in October 2007. Since the campaign’s launch, Univision has aired DTV specials, covered the issue through local and national news and public affairs programs and has hosted interactive events across the nation to facilitate the DTV transition process for Hispanics. Additionally, Univision worked with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) on educational efforts which include a toll-free information hotline with Spanish-language capability to handle questions regarding the DTV conversion. In addition, the company has conducted numerous town hall meetings and events in cities including Chicago, San Francisco, Fresno and Dallas, reaching thousands of individuals.

“We are very grateful for the recognition from the National Association of Broadcasters Education Foundation and for the partnership with NAB, NTIA and the FCC,” added Conde. “At Univision we remain strongly committed to ensuring that every household in the country is informed and prepared for the DTV transition.”

The switch from analog TV to DTV began in 1996, when the U.S. Congress authorized the assignment of an additional broadcast channel to each TV broadcaster in order to introduce DTV service while simultaneously continuing analog TV broadcasts. In addition to improved picture and sound quality, DTV allows broadcasters to transmit multiple program streams. DTV technology also reduces the amount of spectrum needed nationwide for television broadcasting, freeing up broadcast spectrum for public safety and new wireless services. The FCC requires that all full-power television stations cease analog broadcasting on February 17, 2009."
