Belo Fourth Quarter Revenue Up 20%

By Andrew Gauthier on February 8, 2011 11:24 AM

Belo, which owns and operates 20 stations in 15 markets across the country, announced on Tuesday that it saw a 20% gain in total revenue for the fourth quarter of 2010, compared to the same period in 2009.

Much of Belo’s fourth quarter success can be attributed to a spike in political advertising.

“Fourth quarter’s near record political revenue of $35.7 million led the Company to a 22 percent increase in spot revenue and a 20 percent increase in total revenue for the fourth quarter, providing a strong finish to an outstanding year of revenue growth,” said Dunia Shive, Belo’s president and CEO, in making the announcement.

Overall, spot revenue was up 18% for the entire year, with local spot up 6.1% and national spot up 16%.

Belo predicts more revenue growth for its stations, which include WFAA in Dallas-Forth Worth and KING in Seattle. Read more
