KINK Performance Studio Opens
Alpha Broadcasting
has partnered with Bing at the opening of its new Performance Lounge at the Pac West Center, officially named The Bing Lounge. The Bing Lounge, in conjunction with Alpha stations including KINK/Portland, will host a variety of musical performances, speakers and other events starting with Five For Fighting, followed by Melissa Etheridge, Crowded House and The Doobie Brothers. Bing will have exclusive online rights to the performance and video content, which will be available for global audiences via Bing Video.

 “KINK-FM has been on the forefront of live performance broadcasting for the past 15 years and has solidified a reputation for getting everyone from the most established artists to those bands just emerging on the scene. The bar has been set high and when we saw the opportunity to build a state-of-the-art performance lounge in the Pac West Center, we jumped at the chance,” commented Alpha Broadcasting President/COO Bob Proffitt.

 “Portland shares Bing’s passion for music, and The Bing Lounge is a great opportunity to bring the music experience to life for the passionate music community in Portland, and ultimately music fans everywhere,” said Danielle Tiedt, general manager of Marketing for Bing at Microsoft.”


Coleman Re-Releases "Real PPM Panelists Tell All" Report
Coleman Insights
has re-released its 2008 "Real PPM Panelists Tell All" study online at www.ColemanInsights.com/ppm. The Coleman study "provided radio professionals with never-before-seen insights into the perceptions and behavior of Arbitron Portable People Meter panelists." Visitors to the Coleman website can now access a self-guided, multimedia presentation of the study’s findings, as well as other studies the company has released under its "Mapping the DNA of PPM" series.

"When we initially released the study, the day-to-day reality of managing and programming stations under PPM measurement was something only a handful of radio executives were dealing with," said Coleman Insights President/COO Warren Kurtzman. "We thought it was really important to ensure that the study’s insights were as accessible as possible now that Arbitron is using PPM in nearly 50 markets."

The re-release of the online presentation follows a recent increase in attention to the experiences of Arbitron PPM panelists, fueled by an August 8, 2010 San Francisco Chronicle article by Ben Fong-Torres based on an interview with a participant in the San Francisco PPM panel.

"What struck us about the Ben Fong-Torres article was how that one panelist’s experience paralleled what we saw in our 2008 research," added Kurtzman. "This made us realize that it would be a good idea to get this important study in front of the radio industry once again. Furthermore, the re-release of the online presentation provides another opportunity for radio managers to acquaint themselves with the three levels of Cume listening—intentional, incidental and invisible—we isolated in the research."

 Jason Mraz Has Enough New Songs For Two Albums
Jason Mraz
says he has two albums' worth of material for the follow-up to 2008's We Sing, We Dance, We Steal Things, which featured his smash hit single "I'm Yours." Mraz tells Billboard, "I've got two very different-sounding albums. If I cut all of the material in half, I've got something that's fresh for the summer, ready for people to dance to, and I've got something else that's a little different, a little more lush and tender. I kinda hope that I do [have two albums] because I've been doing three years between each album now. But I've got so much stuff right now that it hurts my feelings to leave some of it off one album, and I would like to know that I'll have a follow-up album all ready to go."

Mraz says he has recorded tracks with a variety of collaborators, including Dido, Brazilian artist Milton Nascimento for a song in both Portugeuse and English and Willie Nelson. Mraz and the red-headed stranger recorded a version of "The Way Is Love," an unreleased Roy Orbison song that was demoed months before his death.

"We're giving ourselves this opportunity to tour and see what else gets added or tweaked before we kind of do the final mixes in October-November," Mraz told Billboard. "My goal is to have everything wrapped up in early November and at the early part of 2011 hit the road and start visiting all the countries again."
