How's it going?
Local music content on commercial radio in the latest quarter (to 31 December 2006) was 20.33%, a whisker ahead of the 20% target for the fifth year of the NZ Music Code. However, the late rally by radio was not enough to save the 2006 year-end result.
The below-target results for the March, June and September quarters last year meant that the 2006 year-end result was 19.29% - 0.71% below target. Not a disaster but a disappointment. However, the good news is that radio has confirmed its commitment to a 20% annual target for the next five years following the expiry of the original Code agreement on 31 December 2006.
Phase 5 Strikes
It is just over a year since NZ On Air’s Phase Five international New Zealand music promotion plan rolled out. In that year, we have delivered five five-act New Zealand music samplers to targeted industry “tastemakers” in the US and Australia and two New Zealand music cover-mount discs to subscribers of UK trade bible, Music Week; we have launched a college radio infiltration campaign in the US and we have funded a dozen radio plugging campaigns in overseas territories for acts like Katchafire, The Tutts, Bic Runga, The Phoenix Foundation and Elemeno P.
Already we are seeing results. A few examples. Katchafire is playing on 60+ US radio stations and is #5 on the College Music Journal World Music Chart; The Tutts was #4 most-added on Alt radio in Australia; we have brokered four synch licences with EA Games in the US for New Zealand songs; and the latest Phase Five five-act disc has charted at #13 on the Mediaguide Alt Speciality radio airplay charts and at #8 on the FMQB Top 25 Albums on US radio while The Datsuns’ Stuck Here For Days is #13 on FMQB’s Top 25 Singles chart off the Phase Five disc.
But wait … there’s more … all of which will be collated in a Phase Five annual Actions & Impacts report, available soon.
