BBC RadioShare FallsBelow 60%

by Hugh Fielder

Strong gains by UK independentradio (IR) has resulted in BBCRadio's audience share fallingbelow 60% for the first time ever.The numbers, based on the latestJICRAR research, show IR witha 35% share and a record 22.5million listeners.

The proliferation of new goldAM stations, because of frequencysplits and the launch of several in-crementals, is hitting BBC Radio1 and Radio 2 the hardest, despitethe launch of Radio 5. In London,Capital FM is now two pointsahead of Radio 1.

The fourth quarter JICRAR re-search, which covered 53 of the107 UK stations, gives IR a 52%national reach. This 6% increaseon the second quarter surveygives the commercial sector itsbest reach since the early '80s.

IR's 35% audience share hasrisen by 4% over the past twoyears. Radio 2 has been the big-gest loser over the same period,

MIDEM Marches On

CONTENTS Ohayon New EMI France MDby Machgiel Bakker

Gilbert Ohayon is to become thenew MD at EMI France. Reportingto Alexis Rotelli, MD of EMIMusic's continental European sector,Ohayon replaces Noel Castaing,who is leaving to pursue other inte-rests.

Ohayon is currently marketing di-rector of international repertoire forcontinental Europe at London -basedEMI Music. He has been in this posi-tion for almost a year and will conti-nue until April 1. Ohayon heads a de-partment of 14 people.

Ohayon previously served inseveral positions within theEuropean record and home video in-dustries, including a marketing postat Warner Music France, MD atCBS/Fox France and VP of CBS/

Fox's southern European operations.Ohayon's arrival at EMI Music in

January last year, signalled a restruc-turing of the company's internationaldepartment. With the departure ofexecutives such as DonZimmermann and Rick Blaskey--respectively, president and directorinternational marketing --three newmarketing managers, each respons-ible for different repertoire sources,were appointed. All will report toOhayon. These included Didier Ze-rath (handling the Capitol label),Neil Cox (EMI Records) and PieroGiramonti (EMI USA/ SBK).Also, Mike Heatley, GM strategicmarketing, reports to Ohayon.Ohayon's replacement at EMIMusic has not been announced.

Ohayon will head a companythat underwent drastic changes

under the helm of its predecessor,Castaing. In September of 1989,Castaing was promoted from VP toMD of --what was then called --EMIPathe Marconi, taking over fromGuy de Luz who joined the RedCross organisation. Nine monthslater, Castaing changed the com-pany name into EMI France and re-organised it into four different bran-ches, three artistic (national,international and classical) and onefor sales and commercial matters.

Ohayon is looking forward to thenew challenge. "Although I have along list of priorities, one of themost important things --and Pm notinventing the wheel here --is thecontinued marketing of local reper-toire. Although France can be atough market, it is also a very soph-isticated one."

War Causes Labels To Rethink StrategiesThe war in the Gulf has affectedthe music industry in European in avariety of ways. To gauge the im-pact across and within borders,M&M surveyed industry executi-ves to find out how they are adap-ting to the changing environment.

Bracing For DeclinesA noticeable shift in radio's and cu-stomers' reactions to the conflict hasexecutives taking a second look attheir upcoming sales plans. Com-ments BMG Ariola/HamburgA&R director Franz von Auers-perg, "Record companies have tothink about their release timetable,because radio has turned around itsprogramming."

Auersperg says BMG is thinkingseriously about altering its timeta-ble. Already some radio and TVpromos have been temporarily cut.

"We can see that people don'tbuy many records right now.Looking out of my window here,I've seen about 200 kids on thestreet protesting about the war. I re-ally think they have other thoughtsat the moment. I'm expecting salesto drop back."

But, he adds, "We have to go on,because I think it would be wrongto stop everything. We have to thinkabout the strategy, and think aboutwhether new releases are suitablefor the market." He identifiesGerman schlager as unsuitable andconfirms "we had planned a release,but have just postponed it".

Phonogram Italy marketing ma-nager Roberto Biglia agrees withthe German executives about theshort-term affects. "Elton John's lat-est double LP has already sold400.000 units [in Italy]. I expectedit to have reached half a million bynow, but my sales force tells methat record shops are deserted."

Business As Usual?However, the war doesn't seem tohave influenced the music businessin Spain, says RCA Spain director

Lydia Fernandez. "If you listendonly to FM in the country, apartfrom the news bulletins, you wouldnot know there was a war on."

Carlos Sanmartin, director ofEMI/Hispavox Spain, agrees."Everything's the same here as be-fore. But don't forget Spain is onlyrelatively implicated in the war. Weare awaiting developments, buthave no contingency plans as yet."

Those sentiments are echoed byPolydor Italy promotions managerStefano Zappaterra, who says theknock -on affect probably will beshort-term. "The retail trade is af-fected at the moment. But I think

things will get back to normal.People are panicking at the mo-ment."

Less AirplayMore news and features about theconflict could mean less airtime forrecords.

Polydor/Hamburg MD GotzKiso says reduced radio airplaycould "cut the possibility of artistpromotion". That would not bodewell for future airplay or breakingnew artists.

BMG Ariola/Hamburg marketingdirector Eckhard Gundel notes,"Most of the anti -war stuff being

Sony Music/Frankfurt MDJochen Leuschner agrees withGundel. "People have other thingson their minds right now".

However, in Spain and Italy, air-time for records has not changedmaterially. Says Polydor Italy'sZappaterra, "I don't think the warwill affect business on radio. If I wasa cynic, which Pm not, I might thinkincreased news on radio will meanmore listeners who will stay tuned inthrough other programmes. And thatcould increase record sales."

Tours LostPolyGram Germany presidentWolfgang Gramatke identifies"promotion losses due to cancelledTV shows and tours will certainlyhave an effect."

Polydor/Hamburg MD Gotz Ki-so agrees, citing the unavailability ofmany artists for promotion. "Theysimply do not want to fly."

Already, one major European tourhas been affected. Vanilla Ice's tourplanned next month has been cancel-led. Neil Sedaka, Jennifer Rushand heavy metal band Cinderellahave also ditched tours. QuincyJones cancelled a January 18 pro-motional visit Madrid for "politicalreasons". Spain's top flamenco -rockfusion group Katema called off aspecial appearance at MIDEM be-cause the organisers could not guar-antee the artists' safety. No informa-tion was available at press time onplanned dates by New Kids andGloria Estefan.

However, not all concert tourshave not come to a screeching halt.Spain's Luis Cobos still plans a tripto Belgium February 4. Also, WEASpain marketing director InigoZabala says tours by Tanita

Rockin' JICRAR NumbersFor Melody In London

by Hugh Fielder

Melody Radio is winning the battlefor London's listeners among the ci-ty's new stations that have been laun-ched within the past year. Easy -liste-ning Melody's 11% reach in thelatest JICRAR sweep puts it twopoints ahead of dance station KissFM and six ahead of Jazz FM.

Capital remains the London mar-ket leader, ahead of any BBC or in-dependent station with a 40% reach.That represents about 25% of allradio listening in the city.

Melody, which began broadcast-ing in July 1990, set an 11% targetafter one year. Says station manager

Sheila Porrit, "Obviously we aredelighted to have achieved the targetso early. London is a very profes-sional market. To have got such alarge and loyal audience shows thereis a demand for Melody's format.

Porritt confirms that prelaunch re-search suggested Melody could attractlisteners from BBC Radio 2, whoseLondon reach has fallen 5% to 24%.

Kiss FM marketing managerMalcolm Cox is also happy with thestation's first JICRAR results. "Weaimed for an audience of one millionafter a year and we are well on theway. Our initial objective was al-ways to build a style and to derivelistener loyalty from that."

As the station expected, its list-

eners are more likely male. It re-

aches 34% of London's 15-24 malepopulation. "Our biggest surprise hasbeen to discover how many upmar-ket men we are reaching," says Cox."We knew our audience would bepredominantly male, but the upmar-ket ones are a bonus we hadn't envi-saged." Kiss FM's 6.6 average hoursper week of listening is below ex-pectations.

Although Capital FM's total au-dience reach dropped 3% to 31%,the station has moved ahead of BBCRadio 1, whose London reach hasfallen to 29%. In addition, CapitalFM's reach to 15-24 year -olds incre-ased to 62% and its audience amonghousewives with children rose by2% to 33%. Group MD NigelWalmsley says, "The results are ex-tremely satisfactory. Since the lastsurvey, the radio market has seen thelaunch of Radio 5, Kiss FM,Spectrum and Melody. While wewelcome the arrival of more listenerchoice, we are nevertheless encoura-ged that Capital Gold has made fur-ther advances and that Capital FM isnow London radio's number one onall market measures."

Jazz FM's disappointing 5% reachis believed to be lower than the au-dience research that was conducted --but never published --by JICRAR inthe summer. MD John Bradfordsays he is "disappointed, but not to-tally surprised. This research periodfollowed the launch of Kiss andMelody with all their promotionalactivity. And it was also dominatedby a series of news events. We havea crossover with [BBC] Radio 4 forour male -dominated AB audienceand it's significant to see Radio 4'saudience for the same period."

Bradford also questions whetherJICRARs research is sophisticatedenough to measure the new nichestations' audiences. "As radio be-comes more diverse and targeted,

the methodology is not subtleenough to reflect and measure thoseaudiences."

That point is more forcefullymade by dance station ChoiceFM/London MD Patrick Berry,who has formally protested to JI-CRAR over the research whichgives the station a 5% reach. "Wedon't accept these results. If we don'tget satisfaction, we shan't do any

more JICRARs. It doesn't make anykind of sense. There may be a tech-nical error, but even if the results arecon at the methodology is question-able. They are simply not picking upour listeners."

Berry says a third of the JICRARsampling points were on the edge ofChoice FM's total survey area andthat several areas in the centre of thestation's TSA were not covered at all.

Trans World's Ratings UpFinancially embattled TransWorld Communications can takeheart from the latest JICRAR fi-gures. The numbers show stronggains for the company's three mainstations: Piccadilly/Manchester;Red Rose/ Preston and RadioAire/Leeds.

Piccadilly has recovered from itsnear -disastrous frequency split twoyears ago. The 3% increase in au-dience reach puts it ahead of BBCRadio 2 and makes it the second -most popular station in Manchesterbehind Radio 1. Also, thesuccessful splits by Red Rose andRadio Aire last summer are reflec-ted in 6% gains in reach by bothstations.

Piccadilly's turnaround has

come in the face of increased com-petition from two new local sta-tions: Sunset and KFM. (Neitherstation took part in the latestJICRAR research.)

Programme controller MarkStory, who joined the station inAugust, says, "We are fairly opti-mistic despite the tight competitivesituation in Manchester. These arethe highest figures at Piccadilly forfour years.

Red Rose's split has been sosuccessful that Red Rose RockFM is already ahead of Radio 1with a 27% reach, while RedGold --the AM service --is nowestimated to be the most popularoldies station in the UK with a28% reach.

Says MD Dave Lincoln, "WhenRadio 1 plays Kylie Minogue fol-lowed by Iron Maiden, they're notpleasing anyone. We spend£12.000 on research byQuestionair and our targeting hasbeen on the spot. We also made adeliberate decision to make RedRose Rock FM a more regionalstation and that's worked too. Wehave 259.000 listeners outside ourtotal survey area." HF

GWR Profits Slide; Advertising Upby Hugh Fielder

A 10% growth in local adverti-sing for GWR's stations in theReading and Bristol area couldnot prevent the group's pre-taxprofits by falling 47% to£900.000 from £1.7 million forthe year ending September 30.

In addition, reorganisationand redundancy costs during theyear amounted to £300.000 andthe company also had to writeoff its £140.000 stake in theRadio Radio overnight sustai-ning service which closed downlast autumn.

But chairman Henry Meakinsays that GWR had a successfulbroadcasting year with all eight

of its stations impro-ved audience figures. PlymouthSound and 2CR/Bournemouthboth moved to the no. 1 positionin their respective markets.

The group launched four sepa-rately branded Classic Gold AMservices in Reading, Bourne-mouth, Swindon and Bristol forthe cost of a single service. SaysMeakin, "The application of thistechnology, unique to the GWRGroup in 1990, has greatly assis-ted our drive to control operatingcosts which were containedwithout increase to the end ofthe year."

He adds that the benefits ofthe group's cost-cutting havecontinued to show through into

EMI Electrola Grab LP Titleby Robert Lyng

EMI Electrola earned the albumchart share crown in Germanylast year for the first time ever,grabbing 18.8% of the market,based on estimated figures fromlocal trade magazine Musik-markt. Releases from Germansuperstars Herbert Groene-meyer (Electrola) and BAP(Electrola), as well as from new-comers MC Hammer (Capitol)and Wilson Phillips (SBK) con-tributed to the record year. Thecompany had 76 titles on eight la-bels on the charts.

Warner Music came in secondwith 18.6%, thanks mainly to PhilCollin's But Seriously (WEA), thecountry's no. 1 LP last year.

BMG Ariola placed thirdwith an 18.2% share. BMG'shighest -charting LP for the yearwas Lisa Stansfield's Affection/(Arista), which came in at no. 5.

However, BMG's figures don'tinclude Virgin, which the com-pany distributes in Germany. IfVirgin's 6.0% share is included,BMG would have grabbed thetop spot as the largest distributorin the country with 24.1% of themarket.

Rounding out the top five arePolyGram ( 1 6. 1 %) and SonyMusic (14.8%).

Of the 390 LPs in the 1990charts, 86 (22.9%) were produc-tions made in the German-spe-aking territories; 73 (14.8%)were compilation albums and

1.7% (five titles) were sound-tracks. International repertoireaccounted for 226 titles (60.6%).

Because Chrysalis, whichwas the 11th best -charting labelwith 2.9%, left BMG for EMI inJuly, its points are halved be-tween each company.

RIAS TV Keeps'High Live' Alive

by Robert Lyng

At a time when German publicand private TV stations have can-celled most of the TV program-mes featuring international popmusic, RIAS TV editor JoergGrabosch has announced his sta-tion will continue broadcasting itsmusic magazine "High Live".

Although no decision has yet tobe made on the fate of RIASradio and TV, he sees no threat to"High Live". Says Grabosch,"Although our concept is unique,it is doubtful that either the ZDFor the Deutschewelle would con-tinue the programme in its presentform."

Kai Boeking, formerly ofARD's "Formel Eins", which didnot survive the new year, has alsojoined the "High Live" team ofpresenters. These include ex-Tele5 music presenters Christian

Eckert ("Off Beat") and AntoniaLangsdorf ("Tanzhous"), and ex-WDR moderator Goetz Alsmann("Rocky").

"High Live" is broadcast eachSaturday live from 08.00-12.45 toan estimated 500.000 viewers. Itcan be received in Berlin and thefive states of former EastGermany. Grabosch explains,"The programme consists of onehour of video requests which willbe announced by our viewers. Athree-hour magazine features newreleases, a video chart countdown,portraits of stars and newcomers,and concert reports as well as liveconcerts and studio interviews."

Grabosch says 18 videos areplayed in a three-hour block.Grabosch continues, "We playeverything from John Cale andLou Reed to Madonna and GunsN'Roses to New Kids On TheBlock.



1990 MEDIAMETRIE RESULTS IN

France -Info Share Jumps;NRJ, RTL Retain Lead

by Paul Andrews

State -run news/information net-work France -Info's ratings haveexploded 59.1% during the pastyear in response to listener de-mand spurred in part by the crisisin the Persian Gulf.

The results from the latestMediametrie poll for November -December 1990 show France -Info'smarket share has jumped 1.2%from last year's total of 2.2% Thesecond-best improvement amongthe leading AM and FM stationswas registered by Hachette'sEurope 2, which turned in a 17%market share increase.

The new numbers show NRJ'saudience has picked up after itsautumn ratings slump, based onthe latest Mediametrie poll forNovember -December 1990. Witha 7.7% share of the averageweekday audience, up 0.4% overSeptember -October (see table),the EHR network reinforces itsposition as national FM leader.

Most other stations, both AMand FM, lost ground over thesame period, although overallranking in both sectors remainunchanged. AM private Europe 1

suffered the heaviest loss, down0.8% to 9.3%.

There were, however, excep-tions. Oldies network Nostalgieremained steady at 4.0%.

In terms of cumulative au-dience, France -Info is now se-cond only to NRJ among FM sta-tions, with a 6.7% reach(equivalent to 2.95 million list-eners). The disparity with its totalmarket share could be explainedby the comparatively short timemost spend tuned to the station --just 74 minutes on average.

NRJ's cumulative weekday au-dience also rose, to 9.1% (equiva-lent to just over 4 million list-eners) from 8.7%, as did theaverage time listeners stayedtuned to the station, from 118 to120 minutes. However, followinga spring peak with an 8.5% share,NRJ's overall ratings for the endof last year show little changefrom the same period last year.

NRJ president Jean -PaulBaudecroux insists his station'sfigures mark a long-term trend."This growth has been continuingfor some months," he says, "and Iam confident that it will continue.

"This development is not due

to any change in programming.We have just carried on with theformat that has made us marketleader in the first place. What Ithink we are seeing is the returnof listeners who had tried compe-titors like Skyrock for a while --once the novelty wore off they re-alised we had a better programmeand returned to it."

Meanwhile, based onMediametrie's other results, ra-dio's total audience has continuedto decline slowly. In November -December, 76.4% of the Frenchaudience aged 15+ (33.6 millionpeople) listened to the radio on anaverage weekday, and for anaverage of 185 minutes. In thesame period in 1989, the equiva-lent figure was 77.6% (189 minu-tes).

Over the year, both AM andFM private sectors have uppedtheir audience share slightly, atthe expense of Radio France'spublic stations. AM privates (pe-ripheriques) now have a 36.3%total weekday share now, compa-red to 36.0% in November -December 1989. FM privatesnow have 39.5% (39.4%) andRadio France 19.2% (19.8%).

Survey Shows ImpactOf Car Radio Listening

by Emmanuel Legrand

About 25% of the country's popula-tion listen to their car radio forabout one -and -a -half hours, accord-ing to a study for Europe 1 subsid-iary Regie 1 has been published.The poll was compiled by Frenchratings companies Mediametrieand Carat Radio during Septemberand October 1990.

The increase in car -ownershipduring the past 20 years appears tohave had a direct effect on the wayconsumers listen to the radio. Threequarters of French households owna car and 75% of these cars includea radio. The number of cars equip-ped with a radio set has trebledsince 1973 to 16 million in 1988.

Regie 1 marketing managerMain Touzet says, "Each day 25%of French people listen to the radioin their car for an average one -and -a -half hours. This is compared to adaily total radio listening of threehours."

Touzet also says that instead ofhaving one auto -radio prime -time.

the study showed there were in factthree peak -listening times: morn-ing, midday and evening. Figuressupplied by Regie 1 show that thereare the same number of people lis-tening to the radio in their cars be-tween 07.00-08.00 and then be-tween 17.00-18.00 in theafternoon --almost two million. Thefigure for the 13.00-14.00 time slotis 1.6 million.

One radio listener out of three istuned into the car radio. OnSundays this share climbs to half ofall listeners. The average car -radiolistener is 25-40 years old, male, ac-tive and on an above average in-come. The main stations listened toamong the non-musical stations, areRTL, closely followed by Europe1, France Inter, RMC and the all -news station France -Info.

Europe 1 is listened to for 90minutes daily, followed by RTL,RMC, France Inter and France Info.Among the FM musical stationsNRJ takes the lead, followed clo-ely by Europe 2, Skyrock and

Nostalgie.

SNEP Announces Gold AwardsFrench industry organisation SNEP(Syndicat National De L'EditionPhonographique) awarded 319 golddiscs in 1990, of which just onethird went to international acts.

Last year marked a sharp fall insingle -awards, reflecting the generaldecline of that market in France.Roch Voisine's HeleneIBMG wasthe only single awarded platinum.Interestingly, among the nine goldsingles awarded, only one is by aninternational act --Charles D.Lewis's Soca Dance.

There is a growth in the numberof gold and double gold albums, in-cluding Francis Cabrel's albumSarbacane/CBS and PatriciaKaas's first Polydor LPMademoiselle Chante. These re-ceive platinum awards, as did DireStraits' 1985 Brothers In Arms.

US, UK Charts Influence LocalAirplay Says Warner's MallaszWhile US and UK chart positionsdo not affect record sales in Italy,they do influence local airplaysays Sando Mallasz radio promo-tions manager at WarnerMusic/Italy.

Mallasz is currently trying tobreak the single Cra." by Sealwhich, at press time was no. 2 inthe UK singles chart. The singlehas been shipped to the 45 stationswith which Mallasz works.

great notice of charts." However,programmers look to Anglo-American charts for hits, whichcould bias playlist selections.

Mallasz says some key stations

import singles to break new andunknown acts. "They try to work arecord whether it has been releasedhere or not. They get informationfrom us because they are very pro-fessional. In certain cases we makeagreements for them to wait until asingle has been released on na-tional territory. But at other timesthey go first and then we releasethe record in the hopes that theirwork will create more requestsfrom the public."

But Mallasz remains cautiousabout the hit potential of Seal. "It is avery strong recall with a great poten-tial to chart. But Gmove Is In TheHeart by Dee-Lite was a huge radiohit that just did not chart. " DS

Mike Francis Signs Production DealBMG/Ariola recording artistFrancesco Pucconi (aka MikeFrancis), recently in the news forhis new recording partnershipwith noted lyricist Mogol (M&MJanuary 26), has signed a four-year worldwide production dealwith Clive Davis at Arista US.

Pucconi formed the produc-tion company Change Musicwith partner Davide Romani. "Ihave always liked to composeand produce soul music. But ifyou ar not involved in putting outpop or house music in Italy it isvery difficult to find a local com-pany which will promote yourproduct on the international mar-ket."

Pucconi travelled to Londonand discovered the singer PatrickBoothe, who has performed asbacking singer for Climie Fisherand Billy Ocean. He will front agroup yet to be named whose firstalbum will be released in March.Pucconi says he and his partnersent demo tapes to companies

throughout Europe, but Arista USwas the first to respond after onlyone week. "The company did notknow anything about us andcould not believe we wereItalian."

The Arista deal is for four al-bums with an option for a fifth.Pucconi who is known simple asFrancesco in the new deal intendsto search for other European ta-lent in the future. DS

Radio Centro: Judge PressesAhead With ChargesRadio Centro/Rome ownerAnnamaria Albanesi still facescriminal charges of extortionafter a five months delay by theRome court. The case centres onallegations made by anotherRome station Voglia de Radiowhich has always declined tocomment.

It is alleged that Albanesi's se-cond station, Centro SuonoStudio Due, interfered with thereception of Voglia de Radio. Itclaims that approaches made toAlbanesi resulted in increasedfrequency interference followedby a reported death threat. This

was allegedly followed by a de-mand of L300 million (app.US$261.000) to be paid in twoparts to turn off the frequency.

Albanesi has always denied thecharges, but it was up to theRome court to decide whether toinstigate criminal proceedings.Programme director AlbertoCastelli has always maintainedthe L300 million was the agreedfigure to buy the Studio Due fre-quency. Castelli now confirmsthat, after an initial court appe-arance, the judge has decided topress ahead with the case. This isscheduled for mid -February. DS

UK new wave, Eurodance andhouse.

Station director ClaudioAstorri says that as well asmusic, the show will include spe-cial guest appearances from for-mer DJs. Gery Scotti, a previousmorning DJ who went on to be-come a famous TV personalityand politician, will celebrate thestation's anniversary by making alive appearance. Both nationaland international artists willbroadcast live or pre-recordedbirthday greetings. Radio DeeJaywill also celebrate, by organisinglive shows in discotheques inRome and Milan.

Astorri says, "Our best DJswill appear in both cities. Thesewill include Albertino, who bro-adcasts the most popular after-noon show on national territoryand Fiorello, who with MarcoBaldini, has launched the newmorning show Viva RadioDeeJay which is full of fun andlaughs."

Astorri says February 1 is notonly a celebration of the past, butalso an opportunity to introducelisteners to new programmes.Some have already beenlaunched and others will be intro-duced that month. The new pro-gramme times for DJ Jovanotti

Artists will broad-cast live or pre-recorded birthdaygreetings. The sta-tion will also cele-brate, by organ-ising live shows indiscotheques inRome and Milan.will be announced. Jovanotti re-turns to the station after havinghis own slot on the popular stateRAI TV variety show"Fantastico".

Astorri, "He will broadcast inthe afternoon show "DeeJayTime" and will be in contact withteenagers again after his expe-rience with a new target on TV.He will not be overexposed be-cause our policy is 'the more fa-mous you are, the less airtimeyou get' and it works. If you havea star you concentrate on howlong that star stays on the air."

Radio DeeJay is based inMilan and transmits throughoutnational territory to an averagedaily audience of 1.42 million(Audiradio), 2.59 million(Datamedia).

Leading Stations 'GivePeace A Chance'

Radio stations made their ownplea for peace in the Gulf by ai-ring John Lennon's Give PeaceA Chance on January 15. The ini-tiative was organised by RadioPopolare/Milan ( M&M January19).

More than 100 stations respon-ded to the idea by playing the re-cord at midday. These includedContro Radio/Florence, RadioPopolare/Brescia, RadioPopolare/Verona, Radio Cittadel Capo/Bologna and RadioA/Milan. The national networkstations Rete 105, RadioDeeJay, Radio Italia SoloMusica Italiana, 101 Networkand Radio Monte Carlo alsotook part.

Radio Popolare gave extra air-time to Give Peace A Chance. Itwas played at 12.00 and 15.00plus at various times during theevening.

A station spokesperson says,

"We wanted to fill the nationalairwaves with a message of peaceon the day of the ultimatum in thecrisis. That has now passed andso far we have no other plan."

Radio Popolare, which cur-rently broadcasts to the provinceof Milan, was in the news re-cently after stating its intention todevelop into a national broadcas-ter (M&M December 15). Thestation which has an averagedaily audience of 54.000(Audiradio), is news and infor-mation based.

Its application for nationalcommercial status goes againstthe intentions expressed by postand telecommunications minister,Oscar Mammi. His plans for sta-tions of this type are that theyshould be local. No governmentdecisions on the future of the na-tional radio sector have yet beenmade after passing laws onAugust 6 last year. DS



SPAIN/PORTUGAL

48% LISTENING TO RADIO

SER 40 Holds TopSpot Says EGM

by Anna Marie de la Fuente

Results of the Spanish 1990EGM media survey reveal 48%of the population aged 14+ havecaught the radio habit, with 16.6million listeners tuning in out ofa universe of 31.6 million people,based on the latest EGM study.

Antena 3 and Radio PopularCOPE have gained 162.000 and48.000 listeners, respectively.

Other stations have experien-ced a drop in audience shares, in-cluding leading pop station SER40 Principales. That station lost349.000 listeners compared withthe previous study. FMsports/news/music station Antena3 edged out state AM news chan-nel RNE 1 into the third spot bythe second EGM report of theyear.

Spain's most popular pro-gramme, SER AM'S AM mor-ning show "Hoy Por Hoy" lost58.000 listeners. COPE's"Protagonistas" hosted by Luis deOlmos, is the second most popularshow. It also experienced a 1.2%audience drop to 1.026 million.

SER director AugustoDelkader attributes the generalaudience slump to the novelty and

variety offered by Spanish TV,especially since the three new pri-vate TV stations arrived. "A dropis normal during this period whenstudents return to school aftersummer and have less leisure timeto tune in to the radio."

Top sports show is still Antena3's "Supergarcia En La Hora Cero"with 925.000 tuning in to celebritysportscaster Jose Maria Garcia.

SR CONTINUES TO DOMINATE

'Kiang & C:01 Tops Ratingsby Paul Andrews

Swedish public radio SR hasmaintained its dominant audienceshare over the past year, despiteincreasing competition frommusic -based "Naerradioen", orlocal private stations.

That finding comes from thelatest annual survey from nationallistening research organisationPUB. The study shows SR's"light entertainment" service P3is heard on average by 54% ofSwedes aged 9-79 (3.9 millionlisteners) each week, whereas thelocal stations have just 3% of thesame audience (216.000).

The survey reveals that overall,78% of Swedes regularly listen to

radio. SR's other stations do lesswell than P3, with news -speechP1 achieving 15% reach, classicalP2 1% and regionally -based P426%. PUB is an independent re-search division of SR. Its latestsurvey is the result of a telephonepoll conducted among a represen-tative sample of 2.100 people be-tween November 10 andDecember 1 1990.

The Naerradioen fare bestamong 15-34 year -olds, with a6% reach (138.000), while P3'sstrongest performance is among25-34 year -olds, 66% of whom(726.000) regularly tune in. Thenational survey did not measurethe audience of individual localstations, although those of SR's

main networks were brokendown into individual dayparts ona "listened yesterday" basis.

Sweden's most popular pro-gramme is P3's Saturday breakf-ast show, "Ring Saa Spelar Vi". Itis heard by 37% of the popula-tion, but is most concentrated inthe 45+ age group. Among youn-ger listeners, best performers wereweekday breakfast show"Frukostbricken" and Sunday mor-ning chart show "Svensktoppen",both with about 35% of 15-34 year -olds (794.000).

However, P3 programme di-rector Aake Kaellqvist is mostpleased with the performance ofweekday afternoon youth pro-gramme "Kiang & C:0". Its daily

Domingo-Pavarotti In Concert,went gold weeks after itsSeptember 11 US release and isfast approaching platinum. Itspent more than two months atno. 1 in the classical albumcharts.

Virgin, Sonet Plan Sales Force MergerVirgin Scandinavia and leadingSwedish independent Sonet are tomerge their sales operations. Thetwo companies cite "tough" mar-ket conditions in the region fortheir co-operation plans.

Initially, the two firms willform a joint company, to whichtheir respective sales forces willbe reassigned. Sonet internationaldirector Lars Helen says theyaim to have the venture operatingby March 1. The venture will be

headed by Virgin ScandinaviaMD Anders Hjelmtorp.

Comments Helen, "For thetime being the arrangement justcovers Sweden, but we hope toexpand it into Norway andDenmark. We have had a similarjoint venture in Finland for someyears, which has proven that witha combined sales team handlingboth Virgin and Sonet repertoire,we have a very strong propositionto sell to distributors."

However, he stresses, the dealdoes not mean that Sonet is introuble, claiming sales havegrown steadily over the past year,with October 1990 "our bestmonth ever".

Helen says the new companyplans to employ about 10 salesstaff, slightly fewer than Sonetand Virgin currently employ be-tween them. Virgin Scandinaviadeputy MD Bertil Holmgrenhopes the combined staff may be

bigger, but adds that "we are stillnegotiating on that point."

Both Holmgren and Helendeny industry rumours that thenew venture is the first stage in afull scale merger of the two firms."We have not planned for anyt-hing beyond this, and there is not-hing like an exchange of capitalinvolved. Of course, if this worksout, we may be able to talk aboutfurther co-operation," insistsHolmgren. PA

NEW RULES DISCRIMINATE

Flemish Privates WantNetwork Law Overruled

by Marc Maes

The VFLR (Flemish federationof private stations) is asking theState Council to overrule aFlemish government decisionthat gives network stations asix-month delay in reorganisingtheir stations.

VFLR claims the new anti -network law, which came intoeffect last October 24 (M&MNovember 24), is unfair becauseit gives different deadlines todifferent stations. About 20 bor-der stations had until January 15to prove that their programmesare no longer received and re-distributed by Dutch cable ope-rators. However, about 80 otherFlemish stations have sixmonths to comply.

VFLR president PatrickHerroelen says, "When theFlemish government last yearallowed 378 privates to broad-cast from the territory, 100 weremarked as 'not according to theregulations'. These included 80network stations and about 20

"Herroelen wantsthe Flemish statecouncil to back up"one equal law forall Flemish sta-tions."stations operating in the Belgian -Dutch border region. Stationswere given 30 days to arrangeeverything according to the newlaw."

Herroelen claims someBelgian stations in the border re-gion are received by up to 60Dutch cable companies. "Somecable distributors have commer-cial interest in having theBelgians on their network asthose stations very often carryDutch advertising."

The VFLR does not mind theFlemish government being oppo-sed to Dutch companies owningFlemish stations that cover Dutchterritory, or Flemish privates sel-ling programmes to Dutch cable

companies. But, Herroelen conti-nues, "How can you preventDutch cable operators picking upthe air signal of a Flemish privateand distributing it? This will behard in a united Europe"

Herroelen wants the Flemishstate council to back up "oneequal law for all Flemish sta-tions".

Radio Deux LaunchesGold/Top 50 ProgrammeThe second RTBF radio channelRadio Deux has started broad-casting a new daily show. Called"Top 50 Et Bonbons Menthe"(Top 50 And PeppermintSweets), it is hosted by AdrienJovenau and broadcast daily16.00 - 17.00. The show is pro-duced at the RTBF centre inNamur.

Jovenau's co -producer,Marie -Claire Mouligneau says,"The programme features a dou-

ble chart including five titles fromour Radio Deux chart 'Tip Top'aired Saturdays between 18.00and 19.00 and five older titles."

The current programme re-places the former Sunday hit re-view, when Jovenau played 12hits from the RTBF chart as wellas oldies. The RTBF chart isbased on sales information takenfrom 40 major retailers in theFrench-speaking community andBrussels. MM

Studio BrusselAirs New ShowStudio Brussel has launched aradio magazine on January 6, titled"Casablancke". Hosted by StudioBrussel jock Dirk Blancke, theshow will run for 13 weeks andwill air Sundays between 13.30and 15.00.

Blancke says, "The programmeconsists of four different features.One of these, our blindfold test,consists of guests commenting andjudging new releases."

The programme also contains a

bootleg feature, which invites list-eners to send their bootlegs forbroadcast, and a slot during whichhost Blancke provides a regularcheck-up on stars' record collec-tions.

JINGLESBuying jingles is usually one of the items in the budget at

most stations every year or two. There is a lot to know aboutjingle packages, so we gathered broadcasters' most -asked

questions and posed them to executives from nine of theworld's leading jingle production companies. This week,

these pros share their secrets and recommended strategiesabout usage, price, shelf life, imaging, custom vs. syndica-

ted options, and many other central elements.

by Jeff Green

What's The Jingle For?The easiest way to begin sortingout all the possibilities is to esta-blish what you want each jingleto do. A complete package willinclude jingles covering stationIDs for the call letters, format,and presenters, as well as the pos-itioning statements or slogans.And it will also cover stings andshouts, intros, talk -ups, and otherbeds for promos and specific pro-gramming features, such as theweather, traffic, surfing/ski re-ports, travel conditions, snowdepths, Christmas etc.

Standard Sound Productions/Glasgow CEO Muff Murfinsays, "I consider the most impor-tant jingle on the station to be forthe news. Many people need to bereminded when it's on. EvenBMWs have a warning devicewhich rings 15 seconds before the

Once the structuring and inven-tory questions are answered, weget to the concept of station ima-ging, upon which jingles can havea profound effect.

Imaging Your JinglesAsks Air Force/UK's MarkWoodman, "What image are youtrying to project to your au-dience? How will they perceivethe indents? Think about the ins-trumental and vocal line-up of themusic you play. If you are playinga high proportion of current songswith solo lead vocals and synthe-sized/packaged sounds, is it rightto have a package which featuresfive -part block harmonies and sy-rupy strings?"

Agrees Ay Jay Productions/London Anthony James, "Thenumber of stations buying jinglepackages not compatible withtheir format is staggering. Our ad-vice is that a programme directorshould sit down, look at the

How To Select & ProgrammeYour Radio Jingles Effectivelyhour to let you know to turn offyour cassette or CD as it is co-ming up to news time. All sta-tions also need talkover beds forweather and traffic. They can useeither library music or create theirown personal sound."

According to Murfin, you mustalso take into account the empha-sis level you need, the competi-tion, and the ability of your ownon -air talent. He says, "A stationshould analyse its requirementsthroughout its seven-day output,"and suggests you ask yourself:

music they play, listen to thejocks' style of presentation andconcentrate on exactly what theywant the jingle package to do forthem, such as: primarily represent yourimage. present a strong identificationtool. Many stations do not becausethey don't have any competition, soit isn't important to bang the callletters out every few minutes. provide a strong personalitypackage that gives the outputflow and enhances the music."

"If you are playing a high proportion ofcurrent songs with solo lead vocals andsynthesized/packaged sounds, is it rightto have a package which features five -part block harmonies and syrupystrings?" - Mark Woodman.

1. Does it need it there? Does itneed a corporate image?2. Analyse the competition. Are

there times when they sound brigh-ter, more entertaining and slick?3. Are your presenters sharp? Do

they know how to use slow -to -fast, fast -to -slow, or do they talkover the end of jingles and thenre-ident the station?

Custom Jingle OptionsAlthough custom work can costatleast twice -- and possibly fourti-mes -- as much as a syndicated -package, Steve England saysthere could be a financial up -side."If. the [supplier] thinks your cu-stom package would also sell insyndication, you may get thewhole project subsidised, so that

the jingle company has anotherproject to sell in markets otherthan your own."

Regardless, James says customproduction is worth it if you canafford it. "Many programmers wehave spoken with who have gonethe cloned, off -the -shelf packageroute have been sadly disappoin-ted with the final result."

Cheshire, UK -based LBS di-rector Martin Abbott agrees, atleast as far as UK stations areconcerned. "I have serious doubtsabout using syndicated packagesin the UK," he says. "They seemto be written and produced in thesame way and consequently tendto sound very similar."

This perceived "sameness" isalso a sore point for Woodman."The UK is now saturated withjingles from Dallas, and they allsound exactly the same. But thefunny thing about it is that moststations will tell you that theysound completely different to ever-ybody else. Programmers shouldspend less time kidding themselvesthat they sound really different andspend more time investigatingother options that will give them aunique sound. The best jingles arenot just available in Dallas, butnow in Europe as well."

Music/Century 21/Cambridge,UK MD David Arnold says that

the key advantage to customwork is that "you are in completecontrol of melody, logo, pace,style and instrumentation. Theonly drawback is the difficulty oftranslating the programme'screative words into music."

Syndicated JingleOptions

But before moving to custom choi-ces, Alfasound/JAM's SteveEngland says, "A station shouldfirst decide if their requirement canbe met by a syndicated packagethat has been made for another bigstation in another market."

Arnold acknowledges that syn-dicated jingles constitute the ma-jority of all work. "The major ad-vantage is being able to hear thefinished product before you buy."

That peace of mind, in additionto the lower price, has genuineappeal. Another benefit, addsEngland, is that "it's also possiblefor a station to select a 'compo-site' package, choosing the indivi-dual jingles they think most suita-ble from several packages."

On the other hand, Woodmannotes, "The big disadvantage isthat the IDs are not recorded tothe precise needs of the station."One specific problem cited is at-tempting to put too many sylla-bles into a pre-set musical frame-work.

JINGLESPricing: Quality Vs.

Quantity

Let us say you have made upyour mind about whether to gocustom or select a syndicatedpackage. Keeping a sharp eye onthe budget, you may be temptedto simply give your business tothe lowest bidder. But TopFormat Productions/Haarlem,Holland MD Ren Groot reminds,"Don't always look at the pricedifferences. Select a jingle com-pany that has your 'desired' pack-age and a qualified productionteam to produce it. Quality comesfirst."

From Hollywood, HLC/Killer executive VP/COO HainEric Blair states flat-out, "If

you're looking for a low -budgetpackage, call the other guys. Foryears radio has bought price overquality. You can't afford to dothat any more... the competitionwon't allow it. It still mystifiesme how a station can cheap outon a jingle package when it en-compasses a good part of yourstation image. We don't considerit a price... we consider it an in-vestment."

Woodman agrees that a stationcannot afford not to spend what ittakes to get a quality product."An ID jingle package is yourimage on -air and it pays to get itright. Many stations seem contentto spend a large amount ofmoney on plush reception areas

and offices, which most listenerswill never see, but spend very lit-tle on their IDs.

"In fact, an indent package isone of the cheapest things a sta-tion can buy. A 24 -hour stationpaying E10.000 for a package li-censed over two years is actuallypaying 57 pence per hour. Isthere anything else on the stationthat is as economical? A packagewhich is tailored to your require-ments must be better than acheap compromise."

Cautions Groot, "Don't buybulk. Select for quality and effi-ciency. The 'bulk' you pay forwill sit on the shelf unused."

Woodman understands thetemptation to cut something foreveryone and everything. "It'seasy to end up with dozens ofjingles, one for every conceivablefunction and feature on the sta-tion. In practice these often endin uncomfortable, contrived ly-rics and music, and many of thecuts will never be used."

Adds James, "Don't botherwith hugely orchestrated packa-ges with 150 cuts. Instead, go fora more streamlined package. It'smore effective and you won't bethrowing money down the drain."

England agrees, concluding,"About 20-25 cuts is about rightfor most stations, although someare quite happy with 10 or 12.Bear in mind that the productioncompany will often provide extramixes of each cut."

Looking For TheRight Pitch

In addition to the "QuestionsYou Should Ask" (see separatebox), here are some other tips tohelp you to determine whichmusic production company isright for you. Groot says thatonce you have received all thedemo tapes, "Don't expect anydemo on a package to be justright for you. Your opportunitiesto get specific will come later.Look at all firms, including thesmall and obscure. The least -known might be the best suitedfor your project."

Woodman agrees, "Put aside

your preconceptions and choosea company that can produce apackage which will project a po-sitive, distinctive identity."

Alfasound's England suggeststo "listen for creativity, clarity ofdiction and vocals, suitability ofmusic styles within the jingles tomatch the station's overall soundand pace."

Adds Blair, "Listen to a goodsampling and see if they haveproduced a package that not onlyfits your format, but also doesn'tsound like the package beingplayed on your competitionacross the street."

Abbott concurs. "I don't be-lieve that jingles that sound thesame as another station's canpossibly contribute anything toyour identity."

From there, suggests James.you might wish to discuss thepackages with your air talent,since they will be using them, ortry playing some of the more sui-table jingles from the sample/demos into records and out ofspot breaks to see how they workfor you.

Finally, continues Groot, "Askrepresentatives from the bestthree or four tapes and materialsto make a personal presentationof their work and a full discus-sion."

Conducting ThePresentation

What should this discussion in-clude? Says Cue Music Musik-reklam/Stockholm marketing di-rector/producer Max Ljung-quist, "We start off by making ananalysis of how the stationworks, including target groups.programmes, DJs, etc, to deter-mine the profile and image of theforthcoming production."

Says James, "We find out asmuch as we can about their parti-cular requirements, based ontheir programming, market situ-ation and competition. We thendesign and create a jingle pack-age especially for them. It's notjust a matter of resinging the vo-cals."

Groot encourages broadcastersto participate actively in the pro-duction development. "Makesure you approve each elementand have a complete understan-ding of its direction."

Summarising the creative pro-cess, Murfin says, "It is very im-portant for a station to discuss itsrequirements in full with the pro-duction company. Without theinterruption of a telephone, workout the lyrics and decide, if it is acustom melody, whether to useorchestra, sample sounds or ef-fects. The more work that is putinto the prep, the better the

Trailblazing Quotes From TheJingle Jungle

"Keep it simple, melodic and remember yourpurpose is to sell the station to 'Joe Public', notto impress other musicians or jingle companies.It's very difficult for the milkman to sing a me-lody with a patterned 64th on the end."

- Muff Murfin.

"If you spend a lot of time listening to jinglesamplers, you can convince yourself that thereis more difference between most of the pack-ages than there really is. The subtle productiondifferences you hear will be lost on the listener,who will only hear the vocal style and the over-all musical treatment."

- Mark Woodman.

"Consider your competition and bear in mindthat you need to have a totally separate andpowerful identity. Unfortunately, most pro-gramme directors tend to follow the sheep.Don't do what everybody is doing. Use yourcreative imagination and do your own thing."

- Anthony James.

"The creation and production of quality and mo-tivated music is a highly specialised and techni-cal process. Let the creator create."

- Ren Groot

quality of the finished product."From a business point of view,

England advises, "Look for atrack record. Phone a station onthe demo and ask them howthings worked out with the jinglecompany. Personal recommenda-tion is a strong indication of agood choice."

Still, Ljungquist adds, "Makesure everything is clearly speci-fied in the offer from the jinglecompany/producer, with no hid-den surprises."

Determining TheShelf Life

Although most broadcasterswould agree that jingle freshening--if not outright rebuilding --is ge-nerally a good idea, the actuallongevity of a jingle is up for de-bate (unless, of course, a formatchange occurs). Observes Muffin,"Stations normally change theirjingle package every two years,but some stations maintain thesame theme for many years."



JINGLESGroot notes, "If the package re-

ally gives the station what itneeds, the life circle of the pack-age could be very long. Our clientVeronica/Holland has been onthe same melody for almost 12years. That really gives a station aunique identification." In general,Groot recommends, "The stationshould update the sound of thepackage -- with the same melodyline -- once every two years orso."

Agrees Woodman, "Most ofour packages are licensed for useover two years. After this time astation can choose to extend thelicence, add more cuts or startagain. There is nothing magicabout this time, but experienceshows that most packages willneed some kind of freshening -upafter this time."

James is somewhat more con-servative. "If the ideas, vocalsand melodies are fresh comparedto other companies, they certainlydon't wear out as easily. I recom-mend that a package should runfor about one -and -a -half years,depending on how you use it."

But Blair thinks even that istoo long. "It's my opinion thatjingles should be updated everyyear using the same logo melody,which by then has achieved anemotional mould with your aud-ience. Why burn out a jinglepackage over two or three years?"

Somewhere in between isArnold's analysis of jingle longe-vity: "It depends on production,

instrumentation, pace and usage.The most frenetic EHR jinglewith laser effects and 'tuned roaddrills' tend to live for a year.Acoustic and particularly orche-stral IDs have been known to lastfor seven years. Faster jingleswear out sooner than slow ones.If stations don't use many jingles,they don't need replacing sooften."

Woodman proposes, "For sta-tions playing contemporarymusic, an effective route can beto have the package produced co-vering basic requirements, then totop up with additional IDs as mu-sical developments occur. It willbe impossible to know what willbe the hot sound in six months ora year."

Solving TheLanguage Problem

A top priority for broadcasterswho leave their own country tocut jingles is to ensure that theysound local. Arnold says his sin-gers have handled French,German, "even Japanese --no pro-blem." But Standard Sound'sMuff Muffin reveals that it is achallenge for most music pro-duction companies. "In Europe,language can sometimes be aproblem," he acknowledges. "Nomatter how British or Americanpeople feel, we do not singContinental language, obviously,

as well as the Continentals."At Top Format, Groot sides-

teps the issue by "selecting pro-fessional singers out of theclient's own country and com-bine them with two of our pro-fessional singers who are bilin-gual.

"The research of finding theright people in a given country isquite a job: a lotand talking to people in the re-cording business. Our singersneed to read notes, as most jing-les are done in a very sophistica-ted 'close harmony' style. Thisrequires very professional, note -reading people."

England offers another choice,pointing out that "some compa-nies are willing to bring theirtracks over to your country anduse your local singers to sing inyour language. It tends to makethe project cost a little more, butthe results can be amazing."

Blair takes yet another route,explaining, "We've producedseveral packages in the last twoyears in foreign languages. Thekey for us is to have someonefrom the client there who knowsthe correct pronunciation andalso has some working know-ledge of music.

"In Germany, for instance,we've recently contracted a lan-guage/music consultant who canact as the expert for the clientand us. He enters the projectearly on to advise the clientwhich lyrics will work andwhich will be hard for our sin-gers to perform without an ac-cent. Lots of preplanning willmake the session go smoothlyand save everyone time andmoney."

For custom, the consensusamong these executives is toplan to allow two to threemonths from your first demo en-quiry to delivery.

England counsels stations to"not sit on a decision for weeks,then call the company you'vechosen and ask for your jinglesin days. While every companywill try to do their best to giveyou a quick turn -around, it maybe a very busy period for them.Don't get yourself in a positionwhere they have to be on -air on acertain date, because if theyaren't quite as you wanted them,there's no time to re -sing them."

James knows that many sta-tions buy their jingles at the lastminute, "then expect to havethem completed within one weekat the most."

In some cases, producing afully custom package in oneweek is possible, but invariablyyou find that if these crucial de-

cisions are taken quickly withoutany thought, the station will notget the full potential that a goodpackage should offer."

Blair recommends assigning"one of your key people to attendthe session. It is easier to changesomething while the session isgoing on than after the fact."

England says to "listen to whatthe jingle company tells you.They do this every day, and it isdifferent from producing records.They will help you get the soundyou want but still make the jing-les work."

Arnold believes "anything ispossible. Our expertise is transla-ting the PD's creative ideas intosounds. We are always happy toadvise or offer alternatives."

Groot recommends that sta-tions "maintain a close relations-hip" with their music productioncompany.

"They will prove to be a cre-ative and valuable ally in theprogramming and promotion ofyour station," he says. "Sendthem airdecks that show howtheir product is being applied.Bring them into your world."



STATION OPERATIONS

'SIMUL-OPERATION':

Staying Competitive In A Tight Marketby Jeff Pollack

As economic pressures mount, ag-gressive broadcasters are forced tosearch for new possibilities of maxi-mising profitability. In an increasingnumber of markets, such broadcast-ers are pioneering the concept of thesimultaneous operation of two (ormore) stations in a single market.This is called "Simul-Operation".

As both an economically soundand a practical means towardsachieving competitive stability, thecomplementary operation of morethan one programming and/or salesoperation in one market can help aweak broadcaster to survive andmake a strong broadcaster evenstronger. The opportunity to fullyexploit the potential of such an ar-rangement has, until the recent past,been typified by one licensee con-trolling both an AM and an FM fac-ility in a single market. In the past, anumber of broadcasters have optedto aim for an older audience with anews or talk format on their AM,and targeted a younger demograp-hic with a music format on theirFM.

However, the continuing declineof AM audiences in most markets,along with advertisers' emphasis onthe 25-54 age group (which limitsthe saleability of 55+ numbers), haslimited the continued sales gains forthese AM/FM combos. It is onlywhen we begin looking at simul-operation of two music -based FMsin one market, that the really inter-

esting possibilities become apparent.

Keeping ControlIn the European market, such oper-ations are generally still at an earlystage of development. In the US,however, their evolution hasreached a more mature level. Amore complete picture of the poten-tial of simul-operations may there-fore be drawn by considering someAmerican examples.

It is important to emphasise thatUS Federal CommunicationsCommission (FCC) regulations re-quire all station licensees to exertultimate control over the content oftheir stations, and to ensure that thestations operate in the public interest.

It is currently not possible in theUS for any one broadcaster to ownmore than one FM station per mar-ket, or to completely programmeanother station held by another lic-ensee. However, as long as the lic-ensee provides local public affairsprogramming and also retains theoption to reject any programmingoffered to it, simul-operation reallyrepresents nothing very differentfrom a station carrying a satellite -delivered programming service.

In either case the licensee is incontrol of content, and there areplenty of precedents indicating thatexisting broadcast law allows forthis arrangement. The licensee mustalso retain control of its personneland finances. Put simply, one sta-tion becomes the base station whichis complemented by the other sta-

tion's entertainment programming.This produces the best possiblecombined demographic targetingand ratings impact.

A Case StudyOne of the most publicised simul-operations thus far involves theagreement between WNEW-FM/New York and WWHB-FM/Long Island. In this arrange-ment WNEW-FM becomes theprogramme supplier in the sameway that a network would supplyprogramming via satellite to its af-filiates. As WWHB-FM ownerEddie Simon explains, "WWHB-FM scrupulously monitors and con-trols the programming and adverti-sing on our airwaves. We alsodetermine the amount of WNEW-FM programming that we choose touse and are mindful of our obliga-tions to broadcast issue -responsivecommunity affairs programming. Infact, we have substantially in-

creased our community program-ming since we began simulcasting."

The advantages of this kind of ar-rangement are mutually beneficial,as the WNEW-FM signal is weakon Eastern Long Island, part of theNew York City Arbitron MetroSurvey Area. This represents a tre-mendous opportunity for theWNEW-FM programming to attracta measured audience in the Nassau -Suffolk area that until then did nothave access to their signal. TheWNEW-FM sales department canguarantee better and more complete

coverage of the entire survey area,based on the increased ratings of thecombination of WNEW-FM/WWHB-FM listening that will becounted in the New York book. Atthe same time, WWHB-FM maxi-mises its profitability and minimisesthe effect of any possible downturnin the economic climate. The situ-ation also makes particular econo-mic sense to WNEW-FM, whichhas not had to make any modifica-tions to its programming, as the co-verage area of WWHB-FM extendsWNEW-FM's reach further intoNew York state.

How Does This AffectAdvertising?By offering a yearly contractualprice for all the advertising availa-ble on the second station in themarket, the sales department of thebase station can offer combo -ratesthat more efficiently address theneeds of the advertiser. In thesecases the inventory of both com-mercial spots and promotional op-portunities should be included inthe agreement to give maximumpricing flexibility for the sales de-partment.

Most importantly, with a co-or-dination of programming andmarketing tactics, any weaknessesin the demographic performance ofthe base station can be strengthe-ned. The combined numbers arethen a must buy. Even if the basestation is market leader, having onesales department handle two sta-

MAKING WAVES

tions represents tremendous effi-ciencies of scale.

We foresee equally impressiveopportunities for those operatorswho co-oordinate the demographictargeting of their own station withthat of another strong signal. Forexample, a new format could be at-tempted in a market, with the goalof attracting a new audience whosedemographics would specificallycomplement the base station.

"Our jingles are not producedin-house, instead we commissionthem from freelancers. When itcomes to sponsorships, we haveso far sponsored one interna-tional pop music concert inValencia.

We do not usesyndicated programmes, only in-house produced shows.

"Onda Cero began a full ad-vertising campaign on print, bill-boards and TV, specifically on

the private TV station Telecincoin which ONCE has a 25%stake. It started in Novemberand ended mid -January. Thecampaign's second phase willbegin on February 2 and willcontinue until May or June.

"Our plans for the future in-clude a music station network.The programming format is stillundefined, but we will have tofind a niche untapped by theother music networks likeSER's Los 40 Principales and

Antena 3's Radio 80. We willcontinue our expansion, addingmore stations either through fullpurchases or associations. Wewould like to have a minimumof 30 stations before we set up amusic network with a nation-wide reach. This may not mate-rialise until late 1991."

MUSIC & MEDIA FEBRUARI 2 1991 17


Susanna HoffsFew groups have achieved the level of success that The Bangles

reached during the last half of the '80s. Both the albums"Everything" (1988) and "Greatest Hits" (1990) were top 15 in

the European top 100 Albums. Their most memorable single wasEternal Flame, co -written and sung by Susanna Hoffs. Since theband's official break-up last year, Hoffs started working on a solo

debut album entitled "When You're A Boy". It will be simultaneouslyreleased in Europe on the Columbia label on January 28.

by Robbert 1101

Hoffs was undoubtedly the main memberof The Bangles. Not only as an importantvisual element on stage and on video, shealso played a prominent role in the successof the band by singing and co -writing hitsingles such as Walking Down Your Street,Hero Takes A Fall and, above all, EternalFlame. The latter reached no. 2 in theCoca-Cola Eurochart Hot 100 Singles in1989. She also sang the lead on the Princecover Manic Monday as well as a signifi-cant part of Walk Like An Egyptian, a no. 1in Holland in 1987.

On the new album Hoffs continues wor-king with producer David Kahne. The 12 -track album is "pure pop for now people"

and the sunny melodies form a welcomechange to the current dominantdisco/dance scene. Recorded at SunsetSound studio in LA, the album boasts finepop songs, half of them co -written byHoffs.

The romantic My Side Of The Bed, thefirst single, was co -written with producerKahne while Only Love was penned withDiane Warren. The most striking song isthe uplifting cover of David Bowies BoysKeep Swinging, the lyrics from which thealbum takes its title. The track featuresJohn Entwistle of The Who on bass.Guest musicians include bass playerRandy Jackson and guitarist RustyAnderson of Animal Logic. Anothercharming cover is Cyndi Lauper'sUnconditional Love.

The single will be released after thealbum with different dates per territory.

depending on Hoffs promotional visits. Itwill be first released in Holland onFebruary 16, the date on which HoffsEuropean promo tour starts. Two weekswill be spent in mainland Europe and oneweek in the UK.

Kjell Andersson, marketing managerof London -based Sony International, ex-pects the Bangles link not to be an auto-matic guarantee for success. "In the past,The Bangles were a household name andHoffs does have a familiar face. But pe-ople might not recognise her name yet.She's more of an artist in development. Wewere positively surprised when hearingthe album. Although we might have aJackson or a Springsteen release, Hoffs iscertainly one of our priorities this year".

Sony Music will set up an advertisingcampaign in most of the printed media inEurope and TV spots are currently beingconsidered.

Because of Hoffs's popularity in theUS --with three gold, two platinum andone double -platinum awards to her creditas a Bangle --a European concert tour isnot expected before the summer.

Sony Music is not targeting specificradio formats. Andersson says, "But we dowant to be playlisted on all AOR and EHRformats."

Meanwhile, Radio DeeJay Network/Milan has premiered the single in Italy,before the official release date. Head ofmusic Dario Usuelli, is responding positi-vely to the single, "It fits our playlists verywell and we played it every hour onMonday January 14. Now we play it fouror five times a day."

UNITED KINGDOM

KLF Signed to KLF Communications/Rough Trade. Publisher: EG/Zoo/Warner. No management. New album: The White Room releasedon February 18. New single: 3AM Eternal released onJanuary 7, and a new entry at no. 5 at presstime in the UK chart. No. 21 in the Coca-Cola Eurochart Hot 100 Singles this week. Recorded at Trancentral in London,owned by KLF. Licensed to Indisc/Holland: Inter-course/Germany; Mega Records/Scandinavia; Sony Music France; Blanco yNegro/Spain and Ricordi/Italy. Other chart positions: Last single WhatTime Is Love? (Recorded Live AtTrancentral) is still charted in Germany (no.31); Austria (29) and Denmark (26). Producer: KLF. Mostly released in the above mentionedcountries on January 7.

KLF are a dance project run byLiverpudlians Jimmy Cauty and BillDrummond, former manager of TeardropExplodes. During 1987 they operated underthe name The Justified Ancients Of MuMu (The JAMS for short). Using the per-sonal alias Rockman Rock and King Boy.the JAMS recorded two heavy under-ground, techno albums, 1987 (What TheFuck Is Going On?) and Who Killed TheJAMS? (1987).

Cauty and Drummond certainly knowhow to disturbe peace. ABBA took them tocourt, because of sampling parts ofDancing Queen on the debut album. Thecourt case was ruled in favour of ABBA

and consequently, the album was taken outof production.

Under the guise of Timelords, the duoproduced the 1988 novelty no. 1 UK hitsingle Doctorin' The Tardis, this time usingsamples of well-known '70s glam-rock hitsby The Sweet and Gary Glitter, mixedwith the theme of the popular TV series DrWho.

In 1989, Drummond and Cauty decidedto operate exclusively as KLF. They re-leased their first single What Time Is Love?on their own KLF Communications label.And again, the recycling continued. It led tonumerous cover versions by other artists,which were, in turn, compiled by KLF ontheir first 'official' album, The What Time IsLove Story. And if this was not enough, theband re-recorded their own version of thatsong, which was, however, not included onthe album. This version peaked at no. 18 inthe Eurochart Hot 100 Singles inSeptember.

KLF claim to be the inventers of "am-bient house" and it is probably a fair de-scription of their music. The forthcomingthird KLF album, the follow-up to 1990'sChill Out, is entitled The White Room,which will be used as a soundtrack to a self-made, full-length movie.

Meanwhile, the new single 3AM Eternal,seems to be a sure EHR Chartbound.

Before releasing any record, Brazilian Chico(12) and Roberta (13) were world-famous as

they starred as the young dancing couple in thevideoclip of Kaoma's 1989 world smashLambada.

Frente A Frente is their first attempt at re-cording, and the Lambada-style song becamean instant hit single in France and Spain.

They might be young --in Holland they werenot allowed to appear in a TV show because oftheir age --but in Brazil they already have theirown dance school.

Living in the Brazilian region of Bahia, theduo recorded the Frente A Frente album inParis, and the LP has just entered the Frenchalbum chart at no. 49. With the African -tingedrhythm shifts and the subtle build-up, the newsingle, Natal (named Esperanca Do Natal onthe album) is a sure airplay favourite for anyEHR station.

(Hansa/Ariola)The EHR Top 25 chart is based on a weighted -scoring system. Songs score points by achieving airplay at M&M's EHR reportingstations. Unlike M&M's European Airplay Top 50, which includes reports from stations serving a general audience, these stations target 12-34 year -old listeners with contemporary music fulltime or during specific dayports. Songs in "A" rotation airplay receive more points thanthose in "8" rotation or more limited airplay ezpsoure. Stations are weighted by market size and by the number of hours per weekcommitted to the format..

MUSIC & MEDIA FEBRUARY 2 19911990


OFF THE RECORD

Exposed!

To the shock of everyone (nudge,nudge, wink, wink), UK tabloidThe Sun has revealed "an astonis-hing under-the-counter briberyracket" in the record business. TheSun alleges that labels provide freegorwis to chart -return stores,encouraging them to falsify datathey supply to Gallup for the na-tional best seller lists. There was animmediate denial from ChartInformation Network (CIN),which finances the sales -based ran-king.

It's also interesting that CIN is asister division of UK trade maga-zine Music Week, and both are apart of media group UnitedNewspapers, publisher of a corn-

petitor to The Sun. It's hardly thefirst time the UK tabloid press hastackled the topic, but the Sun's ef-forts may be the most thorough yet.The industry's usual response: sacka couple of poor sales reps and pro-claim 'shock' at what's happened.

Label TalkIs Chris Griffin leaving his post asinternational director for Virgin tojoin another major label? Detailsare expected to unfold next week.

It seems MCA Music is close tobuying ATV, the prestigious musiccatalogue that contains all theBeatles' songs. Also, MCA Musicis expected to incorporate theGeffen Music catalogue.

The grapevine has it that trend-setting German dance label BCM

is looking for a partner. Word isthat some major German labels aretalking with the company.

'Suggested Music'First, the UK government dictateswhat pop music is. Now the BBC'recommends' what war and peacerecords should be played. The Beebhas to be one of the only publicbroadcasters that has "suggested"that John Lennon's Give Peace AChance not be played. But, it's notalone in the UK. GWR Group re-portedly also has its own list. Here'sa sample: Stayin' Alive, Bee Gees;Another One Bites The Dust,Queen; We Didn't Start The Fire,Billy Joel; and War, Edwin Starr.

We're told two of the more re-quested song by UK soldiers in the

Gulf are Cher's Bang, Bang andMcFadden & Whitehead'sNothing's Gonna Stop Up Now. Bythe way, Bang, Bang made theBBC's 'hit list'.

More on the WarOne Dutch programme directorcomments that all advertising onRadio 3 might stop if the central -selling body STER pulls the plugbecause of the war.

And finally, best wishes toChiltern Radio Group managingdirector Colin Mason, who wascalled up on January 20 by theBritish Ministry Of Defence.Mason is a reservist and was pos-ted to the Saudi Arabian desert,where he is expected to remainfor at least three months.

BBC(continued from page 1)dropping nearly 5% to 13.7%.Since 1988, radio listening perweek has jumped nearly 33% to arecord 307 million total hours forthe entire population. Averagehours of 13.8 per week are up 0.5hours over the previous quarter.

Association Of IndependentRadio Contractors' (AIRC) re-search committee chairman NigelWalmsley says the results "un-derline the progress the commer-cial stations are making --at theexpense of the BBC --as a resultof having more services whichoffer the listener more choice.

The BBC's declining reach hasbeen most evident in London,where five new stations came onair last year. Radio 2's reach hasdropped 5% to 24% as Melodyhas grabbed an immediate 11%reach. And Radio 1 has dropped4% to 29%. That is opposed to anational reach of 41%. CapitalRadio Sales sales director DavisLees says, "To put it in context,total radio listening in London hasincreased by 8.5 million hours,which is an uplift of 4.2%. Withinthat growth the BBC has lost 9.5million hours --mainly from Radio2 and Radio 1."

Watson(continuid from page I)of marketing and promotion at locallevel in individual markets.Comments MCA MusicEntertainment group chairman AlTeller, "Stuart has proven hisleadership in the international busi-ness. I am confident that he will playa significant part in our future over-seas growth."

A 15 -year company veteran,Watson told M&M, "being part ofMCA's impressive internationalgrowth in recent years has been veryexciting. It is great working with so-meone like Al Teller, who really un-derstands the international business.

"This is already been demonstra-ted through acquisitions of Geffenand GRP. It shows that internationalgrowth is a priority for MCA. Wehave a number of artists who are su-perstars in their own territories, butwho have yet to explode globally."

Radio(continued from page 1)switched to a 24 -hour news-room. Radio SchleswigHolstein (RSH)/Kiel has chan-ged from 25% to 40% speech.Programme director HermannStumpert initially programmedsoft rock, but has since movedback to an EHR/oldies format.The station has a fixed contractwith CNN and its own dedicatedreporter in Turkey. The weekly"Hit Parade" show has been sus-pended.

Stumpert already has resultsfrom two telephone opinion pollsamong listeners: 7.500 calls re-sulted in a 3:1 vote in favour ofthe invasion.

Public broadcaster SWF3/Baden-Baden has abandonedDJs in favour of "announcers"and a marked increase in news.Station spokesman HorstWalker says, "The playlist hasbeen dropped, and we now havea music producer present 24hours to pick music deemed sui-table."

ffn/Hanover MD GuntherDrossart has created a debateprogramme for the pro/anti-warcamps, though had veered backtoward an EHR format at presstime. Like his colleagues at theother German stations, Drossartclaims no significant loss of ad-vertising, but reports increasednewsroom costs.

In France, NRJ presidentJean -Paul Baudecroux reportsminimal reformatting on the EHRnetwork. He cedes that market tothe government's 24 -hournews/talk France Info. "Andthen," he says, "you tune backover to NRJ when you wantmusic." He expects tune -out tolast about 20 minutes per hour.

Europe 2/France has alteredits predominantly non-stop ACformat by adding hourly newsbulletins. But at programminglevel, says assistant programmedirector Laurence Crenn, "not-hing has changed, other than ca-reful thought as to the first recordout of news". Crenn reports noresearch by the station into list-eners' news requirements.

In the UK, BBC Radio 1 hasgone 24 -hours for the first timein its history. News bulletins aredoubled to every half-hour andthe weekday "Newsbeat" maga-zine is also airing weekends.

Simon Bates's Monday "GulfRequest Spot" continues to bebroadcast live to the region onshort wave and by BFBS on FM.Parts of the Steve Wright showare also heard by troops.

LBC Newstalk/Talkback hasissued a special ratecard, clai-ming it can maximise incomefrom increased listenership.

In Spain, the four major pri-vate networks, COPE, SER,Antena 3 and Onda Cero, andstate -run RNE all began prioriti-sing news 12 hours before theUN deadline.

At the private COPE station,news director Julian Barriga isalso manning the newsdesk forsister maritime station ONDAPesquera.

Antena 3 head of newsConsuleo Sanchez Vicente cre-dits CNN as his primary interna-tional news source. "I have atranslator permanently on hand,"he says. The station voluntarilyditched some advertising.Explains Vicente, "We didn'tthink airing an ad about a bargainbasement very appropriate."

RNE had tried to link sailorswith folks back home. But a sta-tion spokesperson details that thedaily 21.00 programme whichaired greetings from family andfriends "had to be scrapped be-cause of reception problems onboard battleships".

In Italy, Radio DeeJay/Milanstation director Claudio Astorrirecalls that the immediate refor-mat of the network on January 16"almost made us unrecognisa-ble".

He elaborates, "A stationbased on happiness, good musicand entertainment was suddenlychanged into news/talk." But,Astorri now reports a switch backto near normal programming.

Radio Kiss Kiss/Naples hasnot changed its format, but is ai-ring everyday at 15.00 JohnLennon's Give Peace A Chancf.

Sony, ARS(continued from page 1)Saphari, Rozlyne Clarke andSandra Esmarelda.

In some cases the rights for cer-tain countries will begin only afterexisting one -album deals expire.However, Sony will be able to im-mediately exploit 85%-90% of thecatalogue. SMI will have the op-tion to pick up any forthcomingARS signings.

Larson, terming the deal as"certainly the biggest made atMIDEM", pointed out that theformer CBS company has hadonly one other major label inter-national licensing deal in thepast. notes that the three -year -oldARS company would still controlA&R in production decisions, de-tailing, "We have been appro-ached by several major labels,but Sony really cares about an ar-tist and has the same attitude asan independent company."

MIDEM(continued from page 1)their repertoire. Key reason: moretime to talk to each other and dodeals.

Radio sessions had several pa-nellist subsitutions, but there wereonly a few needing cancellations.MIDEM CEO Xavier Roy, hai-ling the radio side of the event as"an essential element ofMIDEM", told M&M, "The radioconference was affected to thesame extent as the rest ofMIDEM by the war. That is,people notice the Americans' ab-sence, but it has not affected busi-ness. I went to the opening ses-sion and it was full."

As for the US's general ab-sence, Roy added, "I understandthe Americans' decision and I re-spect it. The atmosphere is verydifferent, but it does not have theimpact we might have expected.What it has done is make people'sdiscussions more serious."

But, the American presencewas salvaged by the participationof leading US companies RadioExpress, Coleman Research andFilm House. Reports on mee-tings will appear throughout
