More Trouble for Chris Evans - Top Gear host Chris Evans from Radio 2 has been branded 'worse than' his predecessor Jeremy Clarkson. Clarkson was fired from the series for punching a producer. According to the Daily Mirror, some believe his replacement is even more difficult to work with. Despite the fact that his first series of hosting the long-running motoring show is yet to air, Chris has allegedly already been lashing out at staff. Most recently, it's reported he lost his temper with a member of the Top Gear crew so viciously that an engineer had to step in and tell him to stop. Industry insiders have claimed that the presenter has been struggling to balance his time between the motoring series and his BBC Radio 2 breakfast show. In addition to reportedly falling out with crew members, Chris is believed to have also clashed with co-star Matt LeBlanc.

Smartphones Are America's Top Device Reports Nielsen

THE MOUTH, APRIL 27TH, 2016 –– Not surprisingly, according to Nielsen’s fourth-quarter 2015 Comparable Metrics Report, smartphones across all adult demographic groups are the most used platform, in terms of days per week among users of each medium, with adults 18+ using their devices nearly every day in the week (5.8 times per week), followed by television (5.5 times per week).

Adult TV viewers watch an average of 5.5 days per week. Tablets are used more often by people ages 35-49 than ages 18-34. Penetration among ages 50 and over is only 719%, but those owners use tablets most often. Smartphone owners within the age range of 35-49 use their phones most often. (This includes app and web usage, not talk, text or email).

“Smartphone penetration is nearly as high as TV set and radio ownership, and consumers carry their phones everywhere. High penetration plus portability and customized functionality have made them a staple of consumers’ media diet,” said Glenn Enoch, SVP of Audience Insights at Nielsen. “Smartphones provide advertisers and marketers with the opportunity to reach consumers with information throughout the day.” As consumers continue to be presented with a proliferation of media devices and services, analyzing media usage with comparable metrics provides an apples-to-apples view of consumption across platforms, as marketers and advertisers continue to plan for the future.

[WATCH] KCBS San Francisco's Doug Sovern And Former Director Honored For 'Unholy Water' Investigative Series

THE MOUTH, APRIL 27TH, 2016 –– KCBS San Francisco reporter Doug Sovern, along with then-Director of News and Programming, Ed Cavagnaro, have been honored by the National Society of Professional Journalists (SPJ) with a Sigma Delta Chi Award for Best Investigative Reporting, Radio (Top 100 Markets or Network/Syndicated) for “Unholy Water.” KCBS was the only commercial radio station in the country to win a Sigma Delta Chi award this year. The honor will be recognized during a ceremony at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. on June 20th, 2016.

The five-part series exposed the San Francisco Archdiocese’s installation of an illegal plumbing system at St. Mary’s Cathedral, to pour water on homeless people at night to keep them from sleeping in the cathedral doorways, in the middle of the worst drought in California history. Sovern was also honored for this series by the 2016 Alfred I. DuPont-Columbia University Awards, which bestowed a Special Finalist Citation earlier this year. As a result of the station’s reporting, San Francisco officials ordered the system removed, the Bishop in charge issued a public apology and was transferred to another parish, and the archdiocese launched a new initiative to help the City address homelessness. The story made international headlines. WATCH HERE

[WATCH] James Corden's 'Late Late Show' YouTube Channel Surpasses 1 Billion Views; Is Radio Key To This Success?

7

THE MOUTH, APRIL 27TH, 2016 –– Both CBS and James Corden must be beaming over this latest milestone. Deadline reports that The Late Late Show with James Corden‘s YouTube channel surpassed 1 billion total views. Contributing mightily are Late Late Show‘s Adele Carpool Karaoke (98M views) and Justin Bieber Carpool Karaoke (73M views), which are the top two late-night clips on YouTube, according to data from Tubular labs. Corden’s show now has 100 clips on YouTube with more than 1M views each. Each of his 16 Carpool Karaoke clips to date has surpassed 10M views, and 10 of those have eclipsed 20M views.

Last month, Consultant Fred Jacobs blogged about this very phenomena asking "Why does “Carpool Karaoke” work? Because even the rich, famous, powerful, and egomaniacal do what we all do – sing along in the car with the radio blaring on the way to work or the mall -- In just 12 months, he’s lured everyone from Adele, Justin Bieber, Stevie Wonder, and Elton John into the front seat of a car to joyously sing their biggest hits (and others) in a hilarious bit that is just pure fun ... And because of his charm and the disarming concept itself, these often egomaniacal celebrities just seem to melt in the front seat and become attractive and often funny. “All I want is our guest to shine.” SEE BLOG HERE
