LOCKARD & WECHSLER CLEARANCE & PRICE INDEX
BY EDDIE WILDERS
The Price and Clearance Indices are based on a 23-week moving average, dating back to the first week of January 2011. The Index is calculated by dividing current week clearance percentage or CPM over the most recent 52-week average clearance or CPM. Trends are now compared to those of 2010.
CLEARANCE INDEX
Clearance has followed 2010 trends for the better part of the year. Of course, there have been fluctuations on occasion, but that is always to be expected. What could not be expected was the increase in clearance over the last few weeks of May. Warmer weather usually means the end of opportunities and wide-open inventory, but the end of May brought neither as national cable remained at or above 2010 levels, especially in the 120-second inventory space. Spot TV and local cable continue to move through the political season, with many markets tightening up rather quickly. Still, this environment is much more favorable than it was in 2010. With a lackluster May sweeps period, network and syndication opportunities will continue to be close to non-existent.
