A Spanish-language broadcaster in a lawsuit with Arbitron stopped encoding signals of some radio stations for the ratings company’s audience-measurement devices late Tuesday after a judge removed a ban on the change, an industry official said. An order last week from the New York State Supreme Court, a trial court, lifted a temporary restraining order (CD Feb 16 p6) on Spanish Broadcasting System. Arbitron said it’s “disappointed” by the decision and thinks “the radio industry is best served when all broadcasters in a market are encoding their signal” for its Portable People Meters. “SBS remains a valued client and we intend to continue to engage with them in an ongoing dialogue in order to achieve resolution,” the company said. A Spanish Broadcasting spokeswoman declined to comment. The parties in Arbitron v. Spanish Broadcasting System were ordered to appear April 15 for a preliminary conference.

Sirius XM paid CEO Mel Karmazin a $7 million cash bonus last month “in recognition of his performance and our corporate performance” in 2009, the company said in a preliminary proxy statement filed Monday at the SEC for its annual meeting, May 27 in New York. He also got $35.2 million in 2009 stock-option awards on signing a contract extension through 2012, the proxy said. This was his first “equity-based award” since joining Sirius in November 2004, it said. It raised his total 2009 compensation to $43.5 million, the filing said. It was by far the most he has been paid during his five years on the job. One reason Karmazin got the bonus was that Sirius XM was free cash-flow positive for all of 2009, the proxy said. It also credited him with “successfully negotiating and executing a restructuring of our capital structure, including the transactions with Liberty Media.” Analysts believe that the Liberty deal spared Sirius XM from bankruptcy last year.
