MDI: MERRILL LYNCH COMMENTS ON AD TRENDS IN THE MEDIA SECTOR Merrill Lynch surveyed newspapers, TV stations and radio stations to try to understand the divergent trends between local and national advertising in the current recovery. They noted that U.S. ad expenditures tend to keep pace with or slightly outperform the economy over time. As such, the rise of media outlets should not necessarily lead to higher ad spending but most likely to market share shifts among the mediums. The surveys showed that local cable is becoming a more competitive force, but overall, they found no major structural issues impacting the dynamics between local and national ad spending. Merrill noted that national advertisers typically base their budgets on projected economic trends and therefore can afford to spend a bit ahead of a turn in the cycle. However, local advertisers, with more limited resources, are more likely to lag in spending coming out of a recovery as they need to see an immediate return on investment. They pointed out that a better economy should eliminate the differences. The firm believes there are many positive themes occurring with newspapers today (e.g. collaborative selling efforts, product innovation, renewed focus on readership) that are being masked by the downturn in department store spending, which appears to be secular, and the cyclical issue of help wanted, which is finally turning positive.
From a consumer perspective, they believe radio is a relatively protected medium. However, the industry remains beset with excess inventory, following unsustainable demand in the late 1990's. A reduction in spots and/or lower prices could limit near term growth, yet support long term growth, giving investors something to chase.
TV is about to enter the growth phase of its two year cycle, but its low growth, single revenue stream is likely the main target for local cable TV and should also be impacted by increased DVR penetration, which gives the firm little to get excited about.
