The Gavin Report was a San Francisco-based radio industry trade publication. The publication was founded by radio performer Bill Gavin in 1958.[1] Its Top 40 listings were used for many years by programmers to decide content of programs.[2] The publication was also responsible for running the Gavin Seminar, a convention for radio industry members.[3] In February 2002, United Business Media, who had owned the Gavin Report since 1992, decided to close the publication. Gavin executives cited a lack of cooperation on the part of media conglomerates (specifically naming Clear Channel Communications and Infinity Broadcasting), as well as poor convention attendance as reasons for the closure.[3]
