About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

Cumulus Media and Signal Hill Insights Release Podcast Download – Spring 2023 Report Revealing Latest Podcast Trends

Study Reveals YouTube Is Top Destination for Podcast Discovery

Content Wears the Crown: Podcast Consumers Are Not Tied to Platform

NEW YORK, June 05, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cumulus Media (NASDAQ: CMLS), in partnership with Signal Hill Insights, today released their Podcast Download – Spring 2023 Report, a comprehensive evaluation of the podcast audience. The tenth edition of the study that examines weekly podcast consumers is part of Cumulus Media’s commitment to share insights and research findings with the podcast community. 

A key finding uncovered in the Podcast Download Report is that podcast consumers have embraced YouTube as the number one podcast platform, especially with podcast discovery.  

“Throughout our long-running Podcast Download Report series, we have seen the steady growth of YouTube as a podcast destination and now as a gateway to podcast discovery,” said Suzanne Grimes, EVP, Marketing for Cumulus Media and President, Westwood One. “While the dominance of YouTube as a platform is exciting and important as we continue to launch our Cumulus Podcast Network shows on YouTube, at the end of the day, content trumps the platform, and our strategy is to focus on podcasts that retain the audience regardless of platform.”

“The platform findings in the report are fascinating and challenge some of the conventional wisdom we’ve seen in the industry regarding podcast destinations,” said Paul Riismandel, Chief Insights Officer and Partner, Signal Hill Insights. “What we’ve seen is that the YouTube preference is utilitarian. Podcasting is still a multi-platform world, consistent with our heterogenous digital media consumption ecosystem. Consumers stick with YouTube for the video, community, comments, and recommendations but platform exclusivity is less important as we see podcast consumers also listening to their YouTube shows elsewhere.”

The Spring 2023 edition reveals valuable insights for content creators and advertisers. Some highlights from the report: 

  • Audio is powerful. Podcast consumers spend nearly as much time on YouTube listening to podcasts without visuals as they do while watching.
  • Since 2019, YouTube and Spotify have been growing among Podcast Newcomers at the expense of Apple Podcasts, with a recent shift to YouTube and away from Spotify.
  • More than half of weekly podcast consumers who have listened to or watched podcasts on YouTube say they have listened to the same podcasts in another place.
  • YouTube consumers will switch platforms if the podcasts they access most on YouTube became available only on another platform such as Spotify of Apple Podcasts.
  • Podcast consumers who watch video podcasts often have eyes on the screen. Over 6 in 10 look at the screen at least some of the time, even during ads. Year over year, podcast watchers are increasing their time spent with eyes on the screen.
  • Podcast genre preference among consumers dictates the need for a video. Consumers who prefer watchable podcasts are more likely to say they listen to Music and Health/Fitness podcasts than the audio-only consumers who lean towards True Crime.

Cumulus Media and Signal Hill Insights’ Podcast Download – Spring 2023 Report is available in full for download at CumulusPodcastNetwork.com

Background  

The study was executed from a nationally representative sample of weekly podcast consumers who represent 31% of the U.S. according to Edison’s Infinite Dial study. The report also examines heavy podcast consumers (those who listen 6+ hours per week) as well as when consumers started to listen to podcasts – Podcast Pioneers (4+ years ago), Podcast Intermediates (2-3 years ago), and Podcast Newcomers (past 12 months). 

Report Methodology  

Cumulus Media | Westwood One, in partnership with Signal Hill Insights, commissioned a study of weekly podcast consumers with MARU/Matchbox, a nationally recognized leader in consumer research. The tenth installment in the series, this report includes questions trended back to the inaugural 2017 study. This study was fielded online using a nationally representative sample of 608 respondents who were adults aged 18 and older, spent at least one hour listening to or watching podcasts within the past week, and not employed in the advertising, public relations, marketing, market research, radio, television, digital, or podcasting industries. Surveys were conducted between April 14-27, 2023.
