TELEVISION vs NEWSPAPER The Why Behind the Buy
In 1999, KOTV learned that the Tulsa World had garnered $113 million in retail sales in the Tulsa DMA for 1998. We decided our goal for 2000 was to take at least 1% of that business and bring it to television. This presentation was created to educate customers about newspaper.
Presentation Outline I. II. III. IV. V. VI. VII. VIII. Pros of Television TV is Bigger, Brighter, Better! TV is a “Way of Life” Look at Tulsa Market The Future of Newspapers? Why KOTV? Customer Testimonials TV is Your Ticket to Success!
The Pros of Television • 1. Television Is An Exciting Medium! When was the last time a newspaper ad made you laugh? And when was the last time you watched the Super Bowl for the game and not the new TV commercials?
The Pros of Television 2. Television Has A Huge Reach! In the Tulsa DMA, there are only 3 places to get local television news and 98.3% of all Tulsa households have at least one TV.
The Pros of Television 3. Television Can Target Specific Audiences. Whatever the demo, TV can reach it. People are loyal to programs and stations. Qualitative research helps television define those viewers.
The Pros of Television 4.Television Is An Intrusive Medium! People tend to sit and do nothing but watch TV. When was the last time you sat and listened to the radio? Ads on television can get attention in a variety of ways and they don’t have to rely on size or adding color. Your ad is always a “full page” on Television. You are the only thing on for that 30 seconds.
The Pros of Television • 5. Television Is Very Cost Efficient! TV morning shows reach more people than radio’s, yet their advertising cost is less. It is much less expensive to build frequency in TV than newspaper.
The Pros of Television • 6. Television Has The Power Of Sight And Sound! TV has TWO chances to get the consumer’s attention as opposed to newspaper’s one. While the consumer may not be looking at your ad on TV, they can still hear it.
The Pros of Television • 7. Television Has Less Clutter Than Newspaper! In the typical 1/2 hour program, there are less than 20 commercials. How many hundred’s of ads is your business competing with in the newspaper on any given day?
The Pros of Television • 8. Television Is Creative! With TV, your opportunities are limitless. Unlike newspaper, television does not limit by page size or color.
The Pros of Television • 9. Television Has Built In Credibility! People tend to have the mentality that, “If you see it on TV, then it must be true” and, “If a business can afford to be on Television, they must be successful”.

Let's Look at The Tulsa Market
With The Tulsa World Circulation Trending Down and Advertising Cost Skyrocketing . . . Is The Tulsa World still giving you Bang for YOUR Buck? (% Change) 100 The circulation of The Tulsa World has decreased 15% from 1994 to 1999 while the cost of advertising has increased 49% in the same time period. Can you afford to reach 15% fewer people while paying 49% more to do it? 80 60 40 Circulation Advertising Cost 20 0 -20 1994 1995 1996 1997 1998 1999 Source: Newspaper Performance Report Prepared by RAB 1999
The Future of Newspapers? Decreasing Circulation In most cities and towns throughout the country, the circulation of the local newspaper has been dropping every year. Data from Market Statistics, Inc. show that of the 211 TV markets in the US, 72% showed declines in a newspaper’s household coverage in the past five years, while only 18% showed gains.
The Future of Newspapers? Declining Reach and Readership There has been significant erosion in the number of people reached by newspapers and the time people spend reading newspapers. This erosion includes every demographic group.
The Future of Newspapers? Escalating Costs According to Editor & Publisher’s International Yearbook, a newspaper’s cost per 1,000 circulation (CPM) has more than doubled over the past decade. This makes newspapers one of the most expensive advertising mediums today.
The Future of Newspapers? Clutter While the newspaper industry often accuses the electronic media of commercial clutter, the facts speak otherwise. According to LNA, 64% of a newspaper’s content is advertising, 36% is “other” than advertising. In this environment, it is very difficult for any one advertiser to dominate.
The Future of Newspapers? An Inability to Reach New Prospects Reaching new customers is vitally important to any retailer. Yet newspapers tend to be read by the same people issue after issue. This means a retailer’s advertising is being read only by current customers, and it makes it difficult, if not impossible, for that retailer to expand the customer base.
The Future of Newspapers? Lack of Coverage The circulation of a metropolitan newspaper falls mainly in its inner city and its immediate trading zone. In order to attract concentrated suburban markets with newspapers, an advertiser has to buy several local weekly newspapers – a very expensive media buy.
The Future of Newspapers? Non-Intrusive Newspapers don’t afford the sound, motion, and emotion of the electronic media. As a result, newspaper advertising doesn’t have the intrusive selling power of advertising in electronic media.
The Future of Newspapers? A Decline in Frequency of Advertisers The number of times an advertising message is seen or heard directly affects the potency of that message. With fewer newspapers in a community there are fewer opportunities for an advertiser’s message to be seen with frequency.
The Future of Newspapers? Frequency At What Expense? While it is possible to build frequency by using every daily and weekly newspaper in the market, the expense can be prohibitive.
The Future of Newspapers? Lack of Emotional Involvement The most compelling advertising is one that grabs the emotions of its audience. Newspapers lack the emotional involvement of the electronic media. One-dimensional newspaper advertising simply can’t grab-and hold-a reader’s attention the way electronic media can.
