Usher introduces the next big R&B sensation? July 28, 2009
Usher is in the video, so are a bunch of hot chicks and the typical house party scene you would expect from an R&B video. Now you can look at this video and think two things. Either you get mad because they are maybe, trying to find Chirs Brown's replacement? Or you think this is just Usher's attempt at cashing in on the tween scene. Usher, I ain't mad at yah! Especially in this economy! The positive side? the boy got skills. Usher wouldn't put his stamp on it if he didn't right? Well incase you haven't seen the video it's right here. Check it out and you be the judge. Who knows maybe we'll play it on JVLIVE!.
Johnny V not eligible for Philly Hip Hop Awards. July 10, 2009
Nominated doesn't exactly mean you're in. Johnny V was thought to be a sure winner in the Philadelphia Hip Hop Awards this year. As of April he was ranked number 1 Urban as afternoon drive host on WUSL Power 99 FM, and number 3 overall beating even Classic Rock stations WMMR and WYSP. Johnny V was nominated and won the Radio Personality of The Year Award and the coveted Pioneer Award in the 2009 Central Pa Hip Hop Awards held in Harrisburg Pa. It is because he won the CPAHH Awards he is not eligible to be nominated or win the Philly Hip Hop Awards. To the surprise of all the people who flocked to the web site to cast their vote for the rising radio "jockstar". "I'm not upset by this at all, to be nominated was an awards in itself, hopefully I can continue the success I've been having and maybe next year I can be nominated and maybe even win." Johnny has always been modest. You wouldn't think that behind this well mannered sometimes soft spoken person lied an exciting, energetic and very experienced dj and radio jock that has a way to reach the masses and keep them listening. See you next year Johnny V.
"LIVE MIX SHOW" BACKS UP PHONE LINES. June 7, 2009
The first edition of Real Radio "The Live Mix Show" on Saturday June 6 at 4pm on 91.3 FM caused a little , well Real Radio MANIA! The phones began ringing as soon as DJ JOHNNY V started mixing and shouting out the number. Within the first 30 minutes of the show, the phone lines started to back up and as a security measure, started to default to the security office. Instead of getting the request line they were getting the Security Desk. Not knowing why, the security came in to investigate and realized........OH NO WONDER JOHNNY V IS BACK!! "Something about Johnny's show that people just can't get enough of, I wish I could bottle it" said one listener I interviewed. "I've never seen anything like it" said the security guard. I must agree, I heard the show, I loved the show, and I want to hear more of the show. I guess I will have to wait til next Saturday at 4 o'clock to hear "Real Radio".

The downturn in traditional media has been worse than expected in 2009, forcing analysts to repeatedly revise their already gloomy predictions. In the latest downward revision, BIA Advisory Services said in its recent "Investing in Radio Market Report" that it is forecasting a 15% drop in radio revenues in 2009, to just $14 billion. That's a decrease of over 4% from its March forecast of a 10.6% decline, to about $15 billion.
The new forecast was prompted by continuing weakness in demand for radio advertising in the second quarter, following a 24% drop in total radio ad revenues in the first quarter and a 9% drop in full-year 2008, according to the Radio Advertising Bureau. In fact, the new BIA forecast actually implies a mutedly optimistic outlook for the rest of 2009: to counteract the 24% drop in the first quarter and produce an annual decline of 15%, declines in the three following quarters would have to average no more than 12%.
Indeed, BIA Vice President Mark Fratrik was hopeful that the economy in general and the advertising market in particular may have bottomed out, heralding an eventual recovery. While praising the radio industry's ability to adapt, Fratrik was cautious in his choice of words about the potential rebound in ad demand: "Facing this calamitous situation, radio has shown agility by adjusting its programming and how it's delivered, and listeners are responding. These adjustments could translate into a viable way of attracting advertisers..."
According to BIA, beneficial changes include adoption of new formats, like "all news" -- which make radio better-positioned to carry programming over multiple platforms, including the Web and mobile. Here BIA pointed to the popularity of smart phone "apps" that enable delivery of streaming digital radio to handsets. Michael Boland, the program director for mobile local media for BIA's The Kelsey Group, noted that "this move represents an opportunity to target different demographics of mobile users and gain incremental listeners, especially among younger groups."
BIA isn't the only industry watcher to revise its 2009 forecast for radio downwards. Wachovia analyst Marci Ryvicker said in April that the company was putting its broadcast revenue predictions for the rest of the year under review. She added that revenue data "is incrementally negative and leads us to believe that the local ad environment continues to deteriorate." Originally, Ryvicker had forecast a 13% drop in radio revenue in 2009.
