New Release! NAB Television Financial Report 2009 Edition
Product Description
The NAB Television Financial Report (2009) is the most comprehensive report on television station revenues in the U.S., allowing a comparative analysis of stations revenue earnings across DMAs, by station affiliation and revenue categories. Often serving as a tool for station owners and managers to benchmark station revenue, this report also assists stations with answers to the most challenging financial questions across a broad spectrum of the industry.
The 2009 edition of the Television Financial Report includes 85 tables for you to compare your station’s performance to that of other stations around the country. Tables were prepared based on station affiliation (ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, CW, MNTV, Spanish Language and Independent), revenue categories and market size. Affiliations were based upon the affiliation as of May 2008. Stations were classified by market size for the tables using the 2007-2008 Nielsen Designated Market Area (DMA) ranking. Stations not located in any DMA, such as stations in parts of Alaska, are not included in any market size tables. They are, however, included in all other tables. Financial questionnaires requesting 2008 revenue sources, departmental expenses and specific line items were mailed to all commercial television stations in February 2009. Of the 1,284 television stations contacted, 705 facilities representing 791 television stations returned usable questionnaires for a response rate of 62%.
The goal of every business operation is to increase the bottom line. This report can add insight into the tough management questions you face every day.
An Electronic version (PDF) is available by request.
