Radio advertising continues to be one of the most popular forms of advertising available. And for good reason –
it is also one of the most effective with the vast majority of adults in the UK and Africa tuning in to radio each week.

This coupled with station loyalty amongst listeners means that it outstrips virtually all other media including
newspaper, magazine and television.

When you think about it, it makes sense. How many adverts did you actually notice the last time you picked up
a newspaper. Generally there are so many that you cannot see the wood for the trees. With radio advertising, the
ad breaks are normally quite brief, distinct and have a relatively small number of adverts in each ad break which
increases the impact of each of them and enhances the response rate for the advertiser. Radio is also free, unlike
most newspapers and 60% of the typical free newspaper is adverts. This leads to a cluttering effect and
confusion of your business with another’s, especially if that business is advertising for similar reasons.

Newspaper advertising is limited in how many people notice it and how many people pay attention to it. 50% of
people who read a newspaper do not get past the first section (Media Audit, March 2001) and 58% of people
who see a full page advert don’t bother to read it (Radio Marketing Guide & Fact Book for Advertisers, 2001-2002).
Equally with television. Once the Holy Grail of advertising and still generally more expensive than radio
advertising. However, the remote control killed television advertising from the perspective of the advertiser.

We all tend to flick through the channels when the commercial break comes on. Not so with radio advertising –
rarely do people change channels when an ad break comes on. Indeed, people change channels much less often
with radio anyway – Radio Loyalty is high with most people tending to listen to the same channel all the time.

Saatchi and Saatchi said that Radio advertising has the highest impact in the short term of all forms of
advertising, and they knew a bit about advertising
Radio is somewhat unique in that it can be either passive or active unlike watching TV or reading a newspaper
which must be done actively. Nine out of 10 people listen to the radio when they are doing something else. This
allows advertisers to reach them when they are engaged in another activity whether that is washing the dishes,
working on the computer or driving the car.

Furthermore, radio listening is greater than TV viewing until mid-afternoon, thus providing an opportunity to
reach people first thing in the morning; on their way to work; before going out shopping; when thinking about
taking a break etc. This puts radio in a strong position to influence the shopping decision-making process at
relevant times.

Radio is a highly portable medium that invades lots of different environments. It is possible to reach people inhome,
in-car, on public transport (via personal stereos and mobile phones), at work, or elsewhere all using the
same medium. No other medium offers this breadth of different consumer locations.
Radio can provide opportunities for targeting specific audiences not only by geographical area, but also by type
of audience or demographic group. Different stations or programmes attract different types of listener so adverts
can be targeted to relevant audiences with minimum wastage.

Consumers spend a third of their media day with radio. Additionally radio naturally builds higher levels of
frequency than other media. This provides advertisers with opportunities to be on-air across a large part of the
day, hence building high levels of presence in the mind of the consumer. If an advert is missed in the newspaper
it is missed – if it is missed on the radio – it will be played again later increasing the chance of the target
customer hearing it.

Also, a business which has traditionally been advertised in print media can be brought to life on radio by giving
it a voice and tone, thus communicating with consumers in a much more multi-dimensional and richer way.
Active Ad Avoidance is less prevalent in radio. Unless the listener turns off or changes station (both of which
rarely happen as a result of hearing radio ads), he or she will be exposed to your advertising message so even
people who aren’t currently in the market for your product or service today are still getting some exposure to
your brand message for when they move into the market at some stage in the future.

Radio is an intimate medium, listened to generally by people on their own, often in personal spaces allowing the
advertisers to speak directly to the customer almost on a one-to-one basis. As such it operates on a much more
human level than media such as TV or posters, and listeners develop a strong trusting relationship with their
preferred stations.

People feel that the station they listen to is aimed at people like them, hence they are more likely to consider that
brands advertised on their station are for people like them.

The NRA released a controversial statement yesterday regarding the mass shootings in Newtown, Connecticut and blamed the media, music videos, movies and video games for exposing youth to a culture of violence.

National Rifle Association Executive VP Wayne LaPierre has faced mounting criticism since he made the strongly worded statement, which has been called a PR disaster.

When speaking of movies, he singled out ‘Natural Born Killers’, made in 1994 and ‘American Psycho’, released in 2000 as examples:

“Through vicious, violent video games with names like Bulletstorm, Grand Theft Auto, Mortal Kombat and Splatterhouse. And here’s one: it’s called Kindergarten Killers. It’s been online for 10 years. How come 
my research department could find it and all of yours either couldn’t or didn’t want anyone to know you had found it?
Then there’s the blood-soaked slasher films like “American Psycho” and “Natural Born Killers” that are aired like propaganda loops on “Splatterdays” and every day, and a thousand music videos that portray life as a joke and murder as a way of life. And then they have the nerve to call it “entertainment.”
But is that what it really is? Isn’t fantasizing about killing people as a way to get your kicks really the filthiest form of pornography?

In a race to the bottom, media conglomerates compete with one another to shock, violate and offend every standard of civilized society by bringing an ever-more-toxic mix of reckless behavior and criminal cruelty into our homes — every minute of every day of every month of every year.”

- Full Statement

Are Hollywood movies really to blame for mass shootings (even if they were made more than a decade ago)? One argument could be that gun culture is glorified by the stories and the characters that we see in the cinema. Indeed many movies do have explicit violence, guns, shootings, brazen criminals and psychotic characters, but isn’t this a form of escapism we have accepted? Isn’t that why the MPAA and film certification exists? This objective being to protect young people from content that could have a negative psychological impact?

Video games and music videos may intentionally create sensationalism through violence, but is it really intoxicating culture, and can it be considered a significant factor behind these horrific shootings? An argument against this statement is that there is clear evidence of low gun crime rates in Europe, that show the same, shocking, and violent films, games and music videos. The only difference is that it is virtually impossible to get a gun, let alone own one. However this alone is not a strong enough argument to deflect criticism of Hollywood completely, and Europe at the end of the day, is not America.

Many movies today are violent, and they do create fiction that can make guns seem cool and accessible, and there are titles now and in the future that will reinforce this message.

I think there is a general understanding of sensationalism in movies and video games as a whole. People love the thrill of violence on their screens, but it doesn’t mean that they will be encouraged to go out and shoot people. Mentally ill people will always be a danger to the population if they can get their hands on weapons, regardless of the “entertainment culture” we live in. While I won’t say violence is a good message to promote in movies or games, it’s very hard for me to see why entertainment or the media should be singled out as a culprit for mass killings.

In retrospect, what I do think should happen is people should look at how movies are promoted. As the promotion elements of new film titles are more easily accessible through the web, these materials could be subject to further scrutiny to avoid enhancing the ‘glory’ of gun culture. I would welcome a look into that.

For more than three decades, the National Theatre complex has been serving as a veritable ground where creative enterprise is promoted, preserved and exhibited. Over the years, as the theatre culture dwindled with Nigerians preferring home movies to live performance, the theatre mansion seemed to have lost touch with the industry and the edifice deserted with just few stage plays coming up there, during festive periods.

The culture of theatre is gradually coming back, but it is the private theatres that are taking the lead in providing entertainment, fun and relaxation for Nigerians far above the National Theatre, which has better facilities.

Some have argued that this is because the managers of the theatre are not creative enough and dynamic to move along with new trends to make the National Theatre a vibrant platform for display of stage plays and theatrical offerings.

Probably in line with some of the calls by stakeholders that the National Theatre needs private sector investment to optimally reach its potentials and fully serve the purpose for which it was conceptualised, the Minister of Culture, Tourism and National Orientation, Chief Edem Duke, last week set up a committee to look at the ways to restructure and restore the National Theatre to a ground for theatric offerings and entertainment.

While inaugurating the committee, the Minister, who spoke passionately about the need to restore the National Theatre to compete with other public iconic buildings across the world, said that the National Theatre must be a public building that should be used to define Nigeria.

Hear him, “The National Theatre today remains the most important iconic public building in Nigeria, therefore the rehabilitation and restoration of the complex is a task that must be done. Everywhere in the world, even when you goggle Nigeria, one of the first things that you will see is the image of the National Theatre.

“The National Theatre must therefore define Nigeria, not just as an iconic building, but the scared ground for creativity. In the recent past, I have the privilege of travelling with the President and people talk about FESTAC 77, the images of Festac and the fulfillment of Festac 77 continues to resonate in the minds of people, especially those in the Diasporas.

“I do not want to go into the history of the National Theatre and the identical sisters in Ethiopia or Bulgaria but it is suffice to say that unless we restore the National Theatre, Nigeria and Nigerians will not get due respect from the creative industry all over the world.

“Several people around the world see the National Theatre as the sacred ground for the expression of Africa’s rich and diverse culture. So the challenge that is before us today is that the resources of government is very lean, there are also many competing demands on the resources of government and that is why the National Theatre has remained in this state for the better part of three decades.

“We find that there are other public buildings especially in Abuja that are less than one decade old and yet, they are receiving resources for their rehabilitation. The National Theatre remains the biggest theatre main bowl in all of Africa. Most especially as we look into 2014, at the celebration of Nigeria centenary, there is no venue that is more appropriate for many of the celebrations than the National Theatre. And for those of you, who have gone round already, we see that water element has taken over virtually all the land that is not what is happening in the International Conference Centre in Durban and so on and so forth.

“So it is important for us to come together as responsible Nigerians and government, realizing that government does not have the resources that we are looking for. For us to see the creative and ingenious ways in which we can leverage on the growing interest of the private sector to ensure that the National Theatre, not only regains the glorious days but that we can benefit from investment that for the next two to three decades would be a testimony to the commitment of the men and women in this committee.

“Because the institution of government is collaborative, that is why it is appropriate for us and our ministry to bring on board the relevant ministries and departments of government that have the mandate to structure a framework that will be attractive to the private sector to invest money in the National Theatre.

“Often times, I know that there are always challenges of government agencies working together but I want to appeal to men and women on this panel, representing these various establishments that history beckons. Nigerians are always very skeptical, apprehensive and even make a mockery of government because often times, we say the right thing but when it is time to deliver or execute, we find that we begin to sing discordant tunes. I want to believe that today will mark a milestone in the effort to restore the National Theatre.”

Nice one Gugu Michael. Keep the light burning, u're doing a great work.

Hi friends

I'm currently managing a filmmaking, movies, entertainment(motion picture) blog at www.rayenter10ment.. I've just got some really brilliant ideas right now. I want to start making some documentary films, I'm very sure these films will be very educative and it will be a great learning tool to the teeming population and the society at large.

Since I'm new to making films of these kind, I would want some support. Having a portable camera/camcoder would be a very great advantage for me, as i will be able to start something with it. If you can give out please do and don't look back as the reward afterwards will be incomparable.

I have a very powerful ebook on filmmaking(30 Dollar Film School) I would love to give out here. This book will help any aspiring filmmaker.

Thank you and God bless.

A woman riding in the passenger seat of an SUV driven by Young Buck was shot in the shoulder early this morning when another car drove alongside and opened fire, but the rapper was unharmed , this according to a local report.

The woman was treated and released according to WSMV in Nashville, TN. There was a third passenger in the vehicle who was also not injured.

The shooting occurred at approximately 3:30 AM, police told the television station.

Young Buck is from the area and was reportedly back in town for a music project.

Lol. Nobody to take over her place o. She's still doing it strong.

Oprah Winfrey has finally found a way to get people to watch OWN -- she's scored an interview with family members of Whitney Houston, including daughter Bobbi Kristina.

The show "Oprah's Next Chapter" will feature Houston's only daughter , as well as Patricia Houston, her sister-in-law and manager, and Houston's brother Gary. It is scheduled to air next Sunday.

Oprah was one of the guests invited to Houston's funeral in Newark, NJ last month.

Houston was 48-years-old when she was found dead in a bathtub at the Beverly Hilton on February 11.

"I'm reinventing myself and I feel fearless," Brandy told Rolling Stone. "I haven't done R&B in a very long time. This album is rooted in R&B. The sound is different, it's about love. It's mature, it's gritty, it's edgy."

The former teen star and mother of one is hard at work on her sixth album and recently wrapped the video for her first single, a duet with Monica called "It All Belongs To Me." This is first time the two have recorded together since their 1998 Grammy Award winning hit, "The Boy Is Mine."

"Monica and I have a bond as women and as mothers, working with her doesn't feel like work," Brandy says. "Chris Robinson directed the video and we're both in dysfunctional relationships. We're helping each other through both situations, it's sort of like a 'Thelma & Louise,' girl empowerment video."

Recruiting producers like Rico Love, who wrote and produced "It All Belongs To Me," Jim Jonsin, Danja, Timbaland, Chris Brown and longtime collaborator Rodney Jerkins, Brandy's also seeing what two Canadians have to offer.

"I heard the song that Drake did and I loved it," Brandy says of working with the Cash Money MC and his primary producer Noah "40" Shebib. "I haven't recorded it yet but I'm looking forward to it because it's such a great melody and the beat is nice. It's a vibe that I haven't dipped into and I think the fans would get a kick out of hearing my voice over a record like that. I'm not sure if Drake's going to be on it but I'm a huge fan of his. His melodies are beautiful, I like the way I sound in the shower singing his songs."

Singer-songwriter Frank Ocean is also contributing to her new project, and according to Brandy, their relationship is more than just professional.

"He's like a little brother to me," Brandy says. "He wrote a song called 'Scared of Beautiful' about women who are afraid to be beautiful in their full potential as women. I've been there before so I know a lot of women can relate."

Despite moving from her initial record label home Atlantic to Epic and now RCA, Brandy says she finally feels supported.

"RCA reminds me of how Atlantic used to be, they really believed in my vision as an artist when they signed me at 14," she shares. "RCA welcomed me and Breyon Prescott and Peter Edge showed such passion for what I wanted to do."
