If you haven't  been to a Doo Wop show, put it on your bucket list!  It's an evening of pure fun and entertainment.  The show at Heinz Hall was just musical magic.

Top Ten Reasons to Sponsor PositivelyPittsburghLive Podcast


Top Ten Reasons to Sponsor 

PositivelyPittsburghLive™ Podcast 

Will you be the next anchor radio host on pplmag.com?Ready to have your name in front of over one million accumulated internet listeners?



photo by Peter Miranda 
·        The one thing that has kept radio going through TV, computers, iPods and iPads--drive time! Multi-tasking while travelling and being stuck in traffic keeps listeners attention.

·        Audio podcasts have invaded drive time through ITunes, Stitcher Radio, Player.fm and 40 Plus Directories. With  Wi-Fi in their car or a blue tooth device, listening is easy.
 
·        Have you pooh-poohed Internet radio talk shows? Don't! Those shows are immortal. Evergreen! Archived on websites. They show up in Internet searches for your name. That means they boost your SEO. ~Steve Harrison

·        Of the 243 million Americans using radio each week, 66.6 million of them are Millennials. This far outpaces the size of the weekly Generation X and Boomer radio audiences, with 57.9 million weekly listeners each. Millennials spend more than 11 hours a week with radio, and nearly three quarters (73%) of their listening occurs while outside the home and close to making purchasing decisions.~Neilsen.com

·        An estimated 46 million Americans over the age of 12 now listen. That’s 17% of the 12+ US population, up from 12% in 2013. They listen during their morning commute on the train, in their car while they’re running or at the gym, or while doing household chores.

·        About 10% of the US population listens to podcasts on a weekly basis. These listeners average about 6 podcasts per week!

·        Podcast Listeners Are Young + Tech Savvy
You  need to be adept at using a Smartphone or a computer to listen to a podcast. In general, 12-34 years old.
photo by Steve Best
half of podcast listeners in the US are between
Podcast listeners also spend more time online in general than the rest of the US population. Plus, podcast listeners tend to favor the Internet over any other form of media such as TV, radio, or newspapers.

·        They’re Affluent + Educated
Weekly podcast listeners are nire educated and have higher incomes when compared to the rest of the population. 24% of Americans with a college degree listen to podcasts weekly compared with the 10% of Americans without a college degree who are listening weekly. And you’re twice more likely to be a weekly podcast listener if you make $100K or above than if you make $50k or below. In other words, podcast listeners have money to spend on the products and services you are offering.

  • They’re Social Media Users
Podcast consumers are the people who check social media sites multiple times a day – a perfect demographic for the social media marketers out there who are reading this. In fact, 56% of podcast listeners use social media sites at least once a day to several times a day.

·       PositivelyPittsburghLive listeners  can become your marketers, while sharing the podcast your name is  being shared as a sponsor over and over again.

  • Do you like good news?
  • Would you like it even better if the good news put you in front of new prospective customers?
  • Let's face it, bad news like what's on our local TV networks attracts people with bad attitudes who like gloom and doom.  Wouldn't it be easier to sell to people attracted to good news with good attitudes?

Are you tired of bad news, robberies, murders, tragedies, car crashes? Greater Pittsburgh Area Listeners are also.  They do not subscribe to "If it bleeds, it leads" motto of local news.

 There is at least one Pittsburgher who is dedicated to spreading the good news in Pittsburgh.  Joanne Quinn-Smith also known as the TechnoGranny and Pittsburgh Good News Reporter has dedicated 8 years to broadcasting the good news about Pittsburgh and the surrounding areas.  She fashions her talkcasts after the famous broadcast journalist Gabriel Heater who for years started his broadcast with the quote, "There's good news tonight!" 

Joanne Quinn-Smith interviewing at the Military Writer's Society of America


Joanne started her Talkcast/podcast, PositivelyPittsburghLive in 2007. PositivelyPittsburghLive is the flagship podcast for PositivelyPittsburghLiveMagazine.com, Pittsburgh's First Internet Radio and TV Network.  PPLMag is a free online news network and community magazine where Pittsburgher's and surrounding residents can go for the good news and events. Once a week, all the user generated good news from over 70 Pittsburgh area business owners and organizations is turned into an online turning page magazine complete with live links to internet radio and TV shows and full color magazine pages.


The TechnoGranny herself has interviewed over 1,000 Area business owners, local celebrities and nonprofit organizations and produced over 2,000 podcast episodes, all about good news. There are also 8 anchor podcasts/talkcasts produced weekly or bi-weekly and the anchor podcast community is growing.
