The Biz Radio Network was a small, privately held network that consisted of three AM radio stations, as well as Internet streaming via iTunes distribution. The network was headquartered in Houston, Texas. == Overview == The AM radio network consisted of three stations, the newest being AM 1130 San Antonio. However, a much larger audience listened online, and by downloaded podcast from iTunes, and from their own website, BizRadio.com. A November 2009 Houston Chronicle article states that it also is heard in Denver and Colorado Springs. The network featured news and analysis, with an emphasis on personal finance, though business subjects are also covered, under the tagline "The Sound of Your Money Growing". The network stated that its demographics consist of 61% men and 39% women, with nearly half (48%) in the over-55 category, 43% with college degrees and 33% with a higher degree, and over 2/3 with net income exceeding $50,000. 30% of the audience has networths of $1 million or more, with incomes around three times the average income in its broadcast cities. The network provided original market insights and analysis, and an opportunity for the audience to get to know many of the most famous Wall Street figures of this generation. The most popular program was the weekly offering, GENIUS MEETS STREETSMARTS, starred finance icons, Arthur Laffer and Daniel Frishberg, who also hosted The MoneyMan Report. The network catered to individuals (who are referred to by the network as "The Union of People Who Use Their Brains To Get A Better Deal") with high degrees of income, who spend on luxury items yet desire to maintain their "nest egg" by spending their money wisely. The key to the network's success was the very large stable of Wall Street celebrities, who frequented the programming. The program director was network co-founder Elisea Frishberg, author of HOW IMPACT MARKETING CAN MAKE YOU RICH. LIFESTYLES UNLIMITED, a show starring real estate mogul and media personality, Del Walsmsley, THE RAY LUCIA SHOW, and THE MONEYMAN REPORT, with CNBC regular, Dan Frishberg, were among the most downloaded finance programs in the world. Management says they had never sought high ratings, but have gone for quality, and for information most entertaining and useful to the network's small but affluent audience, which represents a tiny fraction of the population in the listening areas, but controlled the lion's share of the money. The Houston Chronicle wrote of the network's flagship station AM 1110 Houston, "Though tiny in numbers, there are more people with advanced degrees, million dollar networths, $50,000 cars, million dollar homes, and decision making jobs listening to BizRadio than the whole rest of the radio dial combined. BizRadio lost $1.6 Million between January and August 2009, though performance has since improved considerably with injection of capital from several media partners. BizRadio programs are now increasingly airing through syndication on business stations around the country.〔http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/business/steffy/6730192.html/ 〕 Sometime in 2012, Biz Radio Network quietly went off the air, and the remaining affiliates switched to similar business programming. Biz Radio's official website was shut down and their domain is up for sale. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Biz Radio Network」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
