CHANTILLY, Va. (Business Wire EON) June 5, 2008 -- Based on observations of the marketplace, BIA Financial Network expects the small and mid-sized radio marketplace to reach revenue levels equivalent to 2007 by 2011. This time frame is two-three years before large markets such as New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago will rebound to that level. Examples of medium and small markets that are expected to see revenue increases in 2008 include McAllen-Brownsville, Texas (2.8 percent), El Paso, Texas (3.8 percent), Madison, Wis. (1 percent), and Baton Rouge, La. (3 percent). BIAfn anticipates this trend to continue through the next few years.
"The trend towards revenue increases in the small and mid-sized radio markets are significant because they indicate that advertisers in these smaller regions continue to find radio to be an effective medium to reach consumers," said Mark R. Fratrik, Ph.D., Vice President of BIA Financial Network. "Listeners are also beginning to respond favorably to the digital innovations their favorite stations are making through multicasting and live audio streaming, enhanced websites, and HD Radio."
"We don't foresee radio operators returning to the double-digit growth they experienced in the earlier part of this decade but it is evident that a resumption of slightly stronger revenue growth will bolster their financial futures as they continue to capitalize on their digital assets and, simply, their positions in their local markets," Fratrik said.
A chart outlining BIAfn's expectations of the average anticipated revenue growth based on radio market sizes 1-10, 11-50, and 51 and over for the coming five years is available at http://www.bia.com/news_press.asp.

Maternity Clothing - What Every Woman Needs To Know About Maternity Clothes
Let's face it: maternity clothing is ugly and expensive. Since most women don't need to wear maternity clothes until the second trimester, at most you'll only be getting six months of use out of those ugly $200 overalls to cover your ever expanding stomach. I couldn't bring myself to spend thousands of dollars on a new wardrobe when I already felt so ugly, so I resorted to making my own for as long as possible. For example, I really didn't want to buy old lady underwear that would cover me from my belly button to the tops of my thighs. They were hot and uncomfortable anyway, but there aren't many sexy maternity panties around.
