TV, magazines and newspapers were all down.<\/h4>\n<h4>Radio has been getting strong spending from three major ad categories that have helped lift the medium to start the year, following a down 2014 when spot radio <a href=\"http:\/\/www.medialifemagazine.com\/a-disappointing-year-for-ad-spending\/\" target=\"_blank\" shape=\"rect\">declined by 5.1 percent<\/a>.<\/h4>\n<h4>Fast food, auto and telecom have all been strong to start the year.<\/h4>\n<h4>&#8220;I think for the most part it is the tried and true advertisers that keep the medium afloat and allows stations to be creative with other advertisers because they&#8217;ve got that base laid in,&#8221; says Lisa Garofolo, director of broadcast at Empower MediaMarketing.<\/h4>\n<h4>After an 11 percent decline last year for the restaurant category in radio, fast food has been more active during the first half of the year.<\/h4>\n<h4>Buyers say this is in part to complement dollars spent on TV, since radio and TV work well in tandem for fast food restaurants.<\/h4>\n<h4>&#8220;Radio is a nice complement to the video portion of a campaign,&#8221; Garofolo says.<\/h4>\n<h4>&#8220;It&#8217;s great to see a McDonald&#8217;s commercial at 10 p.m. on Wednesday night, but if you want someone to have a McCafe on Thursday morning, you have to follow up [while they&#8217;re in the car].&#8221;<\/h4>\n<h4>McDonald&#8217;s and Dunkin&#8217; Donuts remain the top advertisers in the category.<\/h4>\n<h4>Automotive has spent consistently on spot radio the past few years, Garofolo says, following a big decline in 2009 and 2010 with the recession.<\/h4>\n<h4>The Toyota Dealer Association has been driving much of that spending, ranking No. 7 overall among radio advertisers last year, according to the Radio Advertising Bureau.<\/h4>\n<h4>Honda and Ford&#8217;s dealer association are also active.<\/h4>\n<h4>Finally, telecom has been hot across a number of media to start the year, including radio.<\/h4>\n<h4>Overall ad spending on the category rose 3.8 percent in first quarter, according to Kantar, and buyers say wireless companies have been especially bullish on radio<\/h4>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h4><a name=\"LETTER.BLOCK7\"><\/a><\/h4>\n<table id=\"content_LETTER.BLOCK7\" class=\"BlockMargin Article2BG\" border=\"0\" width=\"100%\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"15\" bgcolor=\"#FFFFFF\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"Article2Text\" colspan=\"1\" rowspan=\"1\" align=\"left\">\n<h4><\/h4>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This July 24th article in Media Life asks, &#8220;What&#8217;s behind Radio ad spending gains?&#8221; \u00a0Could it be that advertisers are finding the glitter on the shiny new media is\u00a0not yielding gold?\u00a0\u00a0Businesses that have built strong brands with broadcast media, don&#8217;t lose those brands the instant they cut their broadcast.
