NRJ, Schmidt Battle ForRadio 100 Frequency

by Paul Andrews

France's NRJ group and local pu-blishers Schmidt & Partnerswill have to fight it out for a placeon Berlin's airwaves.

The two firms are backing rivalbids to operate a new city-wide

station on I 03.4MHz, formerlyused by indie/ethnic-formattedprivate Radio 100 which closedon February 28. The Kabelrat,Berlin's media licensing authority,will decide on May 6 which com-pany will take over the fre-quency-ending a period of con -

With shareholders unable toagree on the offers or future stra-tegy, the station ceased trading atthe end of February with debts ofabout DM800.000 (app.US$468.000).

Former backers and employeeshave since rallied to the rival bidsfor its successor.

A statement issued by RadioCity following a board meetingon April 24 said that preliminarydiscussions had been held on theapproach. "The hoard have deci-

ded to have further discussionswith a view to resolving the mat-ter as soon as possible."

Although the company makingthe approach has not been offi-cially divulged, it is strongly ru-moured it could be Radio Clyde/Glasgow.

"We had a 41%increase in sales growth in the se-cond half of the year," said Cook.He attributed the increase to re-cords from Jon Bon Jovi, EltonJohn and Luciano Pavarot-ti/Placido Domingo/Jose Car-reras, as well as the inclusion ofA&M and Island.

Cook also said PolyGram had a23% market share in Europe lastyear. The company's share elsew-here in Europe: 32% in France,24% in the UK, 22.5% inHolland, 20% in Germany (inclu-ding eastern Germany) and 17%in Italy. Cook said the companygrabbed about 49.5% of the clas-sical music market and 15% ofthe pop market.

PolyGram president/chief exe-cutive officer Alain Levy stres-sed that the United States willcontinue to be a top priority. "Ispent most of my last year wor-king to restructure the US opera-tions. And I plan to spend aboutone-third of my time this year inthe US."

Levy reiterated his goal of in-creasing PolyGram's market sharein the US from its current 10.5%to 14% on average within thenext three years. On how thecompany is currently performingin the States, Levy commentedafterward, "I'm.not at all unhappywith the results for the first quar-ter."

Rhythm King InksDeal With Epic UK

by Hugh Fielder

Bomb The Bass's new singlewill be the first Rhythm Kingrelease to benefit from the label'snew partnership deal with EpicUK/Sony Music (M&M April27).

The single, Winter In July, isset for early June release andwill be marketed and distributedacross Europe by Sony under thenew agreement which covers theworld outside the US.

Rhythm King are keen to pro-mote Bomb The Bass after thedisappointment of the previoussingle, Love So True, which wasreleased the day the Gulf warbroke out and withdrawn after aweek when it became clear thatradio would not play the recordbecause of the band's name.

Betty Boo, Rhythm King'sbiggest act, is currently recor-

ding new material which shouldbe released in the autumn.

Rhythm King MD MartinHeath says the partnership withEpic gives his label a flexibilitythat was not offered from othermajors. "Rhythm King will actas a sort of talent bank; Epic willhelp us to help the artists reapthe rewards of their success."

Comments Epic UK MDAndy Stephens, "This is an en-tirely new type of deal specifi-cally designed to satisfy theneeds of both labels. RhythmKing's strength is its ability tofind and develop new talent as itsees fit via the pressing and dis-tribution deal. However, at thesame time, it can draw on the in-ternational muscle of Epic andSony Music via a licencearrangement as and when it be-comes appropriate for the artistand label alike."

Gold Move ForBeacon's WABC

by Paul Easton

WABC/West Midlands, BeaconRadio's AM service, is movingfrom easy -listening towards a

more gold -based format. But pro-gramme controller Pete Wagstaffsays this doesn't mean the stationwill be giving up its "Nice 'n'Easy" tag.

"We're moving towards 'easy -gold'. I've taken out a lot of non-descript songs, especially instru-mentals and MOR artists, such asFrank Sinatra and Nat KingCole, who we were playing toooften. I've replaced them with

some of the softer pop hits fromthe '60s and '70s, such as Geor-gie Fame's Yeh Yeh, MarianneFaithfull's Summer Nights andJohnny Mathis's I Can SeeClearly Now. The changes we'vemade have received a better reac-tion from listeners."

The voluntary pay -cut agreedby Beacon staff earlier this year(M&M February 9) terminated atthe end of April, with staff againreceiving full pay. AlthoughWagstaff says "things are startingto turn around," he is still havingto make some cost-cutting pro-gramme changes.

IRN, ITN Service DelayedThe joint Independent RadioNews/ITN Radio News servicedue to have started at Easter willbe delayed until later in the sum-mer after several ITN subscribers,including Jazz FM/London andKCBC/ Kettering, complainedthey had not been given the requi-red notice period.

KCBC programme controllerHoward Rose has been campaig-ning to prevent the merger sinceit was first announced (M&MFebruary 16).

"ITN has been an importantpart of our programming and weconsider it to be a better qualityservice. Many of our listenershave commented that it is better

than the IRN service which is al-ready available on other commer-cial stations in the area."

An ITN spokesperson says thequality of service will be maintai-ned. "We are naturally pleasedthat we have many satisfied cu-stomers. The joint service fromIRN's studios in West Londonwill have ITN packages so thequality of the service will still beavailable to former ITN custo-mers as well as stations takingERN."

ITN says talks are continuingwith IRN about co-operation andthe announcement of a joint radioservice was "a demonstration ofgood faith." PE

Local Ad Sales Pick UpAfter Down First Quarter

by Hugh Fielder

After a disastrous start, local ad-vertising is picking up withseveral stations reporting signifi-cant gains. The return of cardealers to the marketplace andsigns that the property market ison the move again are giving sta-tions grounds for optimism.

Beacon Radio/West Midlandsis reporting a 32% increase inlocal sales for the first quarter ofthe year. Comments MD AlanMullett, "Our March figureswere 46% up year on year, andwe are looking at a 30% increasefor April. There has been a lift inretail, and motors are returningafter lagging behind."

Mullen claims this is becauseradio is now being recognised asan increasingly effective tool inthe West Midlands. "We've al-ways said that the local market-place is your best ally."

At Red Rose/Lancashire localsales for March are up 80% onthe first two months of the year.Head of sales Dee Ford says thestation made a decision to sellmore creatively in the face of theGulf War.

"We've been pitching to clientsoutside our TSA with consider-able success. We know we haveto get to advertisers before any-one else. We've just run a listenerpromotion with an electrical storein Warrington which achieved aphenomenal response. We were incompetition with two other sta-

tions-one of which didn't botherto show up for a present-ation-and organised a Fun DayOut with promotion girls and DJswashing cars. The store's turnoverfor that day was exceptionallygood and they've been runningads with us ever since."

Ford says he sees an increasein car -dealer advertising and en-couraging signs in retail."Recruitment ads are still hangingback and financial ads are suffer-ing because of the regulationwarning that has to be read out onair. But those companies are get-ting more involved in sponsors-hip."

Piccadilly Radio/Manchestersales director Michael Morleyalso reports a significantimprovement in local sales forMarch and April. "The logs arepretty busy right now and someof the local campaigns have beenvery successful. The recent TomGarner Peugot dealership cam-paign proved that we can deliverlisteners into showrooms.

"Below -the -line activity hasalso doubled in the past year. Weare finding that concert promotersare coming to us even though theconcerts themselves may be outof our area. There's a positive re-sponse to the station now thatpeople know we have our act to-gether. Radio is a good sell andit's time to start looking for a big-ger slice of the cake."

Further south, the effects of theeconomic recession are still bit-

ing, but Fox FM/Oxford salesexecutive John Baker says, "Wehave a good feeling for May aftera difficult year so far. The retailmarket is still depressed buthouse developers are filteringback, along with estate agents,and the financial side has a glintto it as well."

Invicta/Kent business devel-opment manager Paul Harveyconfirms that the property marketis on the move again. "It's start-ing at the lower end, but now isthe time to pitch to them becausewe know we can compete againstthe classified pages. We encour-age our clients to take a long-term view because it makes cost-effective sense to them. And weare retaining over 70% of ourlocal customers."

In contrast, some Scottish sta-tions have scarcely noticed therecession at the local level.National is another matter. RadioClyde/Glasgow sales and marke-ting director Geoffrey Hollimansays, "The economy never over-heated here the way it did furthersouth and our local revenue hasheld up remarkably well. Alreadythis year we've had six housebuilders advertising with us andalthough the motor trade hastaken a dip we are benefitingfrom the newspaper circulationwar in Scotland." Holliman addsthat local revenue for the first sixmonths of the financial yearcomprises a little more than 60%of total turnover.

Mano Negra's Release APriority For Virgin France

by Emmanuel Legrand

Mano Negra's new album KingOf Bongo is Virgin France's topnational priority this spring. Thealbum was released in Europe onApril 15.

The band's previous release,Puta's Fever, sold 350.000 unitsin France and 200.000 interna-tionally.

Explains Virgin internationaldevelopment co-ordinator Mir-eille Roulet, "This is Virgin'smost important French act. It is aEuropean release, and will be fol-lowed in May by a UK release. Inthe next two months, Czech-oslovakia and Poland will also re-lease Puta's Fever.

"Their new album has a lot ofradio potential. It's even more dif-ficult for the band to get airplayin France than in most Europeancountries because of the radioformats. For example, King Kong

Mano Negra

Five, their hit single off Puta'sFever, had more airplay inHolland and Italy than France".

France Inter ChosenAs National SponsorPublic station France Inter waspicked as national sponsor for thetour.

Comments manager BernardBatzen, "It is one of the few sta-tions in France that has a realmusic programming policy, tak-ing risks on new acts and musicalstyle that are not widely popular.We have built a true collabora-tion. The members of the bandhave recorded themselves thespots that are played on air."

Adds Batzen, "Since the be-ginning, my job has been to cre-ate a synergy between all aspectsof marketing, promotion andtouring. As opposed to last time,when we did the "Pigalle" tour in

the heart of Paris, we have thistime focused on the suburbs.

"There is an enormous popula-tion that is completely left aside. Iasked Virgin to give me the de-tails of the band's sales, and Irealised that 50% of the previousalbum's sales were made in theParis area. There is a fantastic po-tential in Paris that is rarely ex-ploited."

Spring Tour Sold OutThe tour in April, May and Juneincludes 16 concerts in 400 to4.000 capacity venues, with atotal potential of 30.000 people. Ithas already sold out. The nextstep will be a French tour of med-ium -size venues.

Says Batzen, "It's the band's de-cision not to tour the big venues."The third step will be a summertour with big festivals, or citieswhere people go on holiday."

PolyGram/IbericaSplits Three Ways

by Howell Llewellyn

Spanish PolyGram Internation-al subsidiary PolyGram Ibericais to split into three divisions onJune 1. The new sections will bePhonogram, Polydor and Clas-sical Music.

It is the third Spanish recordcompany to make such a move asthe country streamlines the musicindustry in time for 1993's singlemarket. A year ago, EMIJHis-pavox revamped its A&R, mar-keting and sales divisions and be-came Spain's top record company.Sony Music Entertainment thisyear separated CBS Spain intoEpic and CBS Sony.

IndependenceStressed

Comments PolyGram businessaffairs chief Jose Luis Sanchez,"Growth and market needs havedetermined this important deci-sion." All three areas will operateindependently under the Poly -Gram umbrella.

"Each section has grown suffi-ciently to operate as a single unit,and in order to keep growing, wedecided to re -order the internalsetup. The Spanish public is in-creasingly cultured and deman-ding musically, and the divisionwill help us to respond to the newneeds of the market."

PolyGram Iberica was set up in1963 and was last year Spain's se-cond -most successful recordcompany. Artists signed to thelabel include La Frontera, Pacode Lucia, Miguel Rios, Mo-destia Aparte and flamenco giantCameron de la Isla.

Under the new system, JoseLuis Garcia Ramos will be di-rector of Phonogram and its la-bels will include Casablanca,DJM, Deram, Fontana, Island,London, Mercury, Philips,Rocket, FFRR, Vertigo, SmashB -Marcy, and Go Disc.

Who Runs What?Current PolyGram head of mar-keting Carlos Borrallo Sales will

be director of Polydor, and willlook after the labels A&M,Barclay, Fiction, Karusel,Metronome, Polydor, Verve,Windham Hill, Tip and BigLife.

Musica Clasica will be run byMelchor Hidalgo Garcia whowill take charge of the classicalmusic catalogues of PhilipsClassics, Decca and DeutscheGrammaphon.

Says Sanchez, "The new divi-sions will enjoy complete auto-nomy with regards to the choiceof media, as well as the drawingup of programmes and cam-paigns, especially with respect todeveloping and creating their ownnational rosters.

"This restructuring will helpPolyGram to confront the chal-lenges of the '90s, which areespecially significant in theSpanish record scene."

Adds Sanchez, "The Spanishrecord industry is incorporatinginto Europe rapidly at all le-vels-artistically, economicallyand at a competitive level."

Mylene Farmer StrikesGold With Latest Release

by Marc Maes

Mylene Farmer's new albumL'Autre is set to become one ofBelgium's best-selling albums ofthe year only three weeks afterits release. The record, which hassold more than 30.000 units, hasalready spawned its first hitsingle, Desenchantee, which atpress time was no. 2 in theBelgian IFPI chart.

The album also marked one ofthe few possibilities for Poly -Gram Belgium to distributepromo -samples to Belgian radio -programmers on the same day astheir French colleagues receivedDesenchantee.

Comments PolyGram Bel-

gium French product managerJean -Luc Leroy, "Usually weare some two or three days be-hind, but we have done our verybest to service the radio stationswe work with on the same day.Our list includes private net-works like RFM, RadioContact and Top FM, plus theRTBF channels."

Promotion PlansAlthough no station was givenany exclusivity or priority what-ever to air the album, Leroy re-ceived proposals to promoteL'Autre on the airwaves as"Album Of The Day", andpurely based on single -airplay, itshipped gold on its April 5 rel-

ease date. As from April 22, aselection of Belgian retailers arebeing offered a free shop -win-dow promo -set, including life-size stand -ups of Farmer, postersand record sleeves. "The kind ofpromotion you normally wouldexpect to see with a huge inter-national act" says Leroy. "And inmany cases it was the retailersthat asked for it themselves".

Leroy also managed to slottwo interviews (including aRTBF Radio 2 interview) intoMylene Framer's Belgian visiton Friday April 19 "which wehad to fight for as Farmer hasn'tgranted any interviews to Bel-gium media for five years now,"he says.

BRTN Radio 2 RepeatsMay -Day Celebration

On May I, BRTN Radio 2's re-gional channels invited listenersto participate in various activities,including live broadcasts andconcerts, to mark the first anni-versary of the station's relaunch.

Called "Radio 2 D -Day," forthe occasion Omroep Brabanthas planned a special edition of"Jazzeafe", featuring a live con-cert by Philip Catherine.Omroep Limburg will broadcastGerman artists Rex Gildo andRoy Black on the live show"Made In Germany". and both theEast and West Flanders studioswill be open to the audience.

Comments Radio 2 producerand member of the "Radio 2 D -Day" co-ordination committeePaul de Meulder, "Our promo-tion team will be omnipresent.

You might call it VTM strategy.but we have found out that it

works."We have also started a sticker

competition with excursions andweekends to give away, and fin-ally we will repeat our 'Mallorca'competition where 280 listenerscan win a one -week trip to theSpanish island in October."

Last year marked the debut ofRadio 2. It was the station's aimto increase its popularity by pro-ducing a very individual and per-sonal product. Last year, theevent was listened to by 42.000listeners.

De Meulder says. "The wholeoperation has proved a success.We have had a remarkable boostin ratings for Radio 2 since thename and image change." MM

Ratings War GamesRock Nuremburg

by Mal Sondock

It is ratings time in Nuremburg andthe competition for listeners is get-ting intense.

One of the signs: RadioCharivari and Radio F are accu-sing each other of copying promo-tional ideas. While the dispute hasbeen settled with the help ofBayerische Landeszentrale FurNeue Medien (State of BavariaOffice For New Media, or BLM),who copied whom is still being de-bated. Here's how it started.

Comments Radio Charivari pro-gramme director and consultantScott Lockwood, "Last year pro-duced a three-way local tie withCharivari, Radio F and RadioGong, each picking up a 13%share. This year, the prize is morecoveted because the tie will un-doubtedly be broken."

Lockwood cited Radio F as thestation he sees as causing the mostdifficulties, a charge Radio F hotlydisputes. Alleges Lockwood,"They are copying promotion ideasfrom other stations. First of all, inJanuary, they started a diary("Tagesbuch") promotion very si-milar to the Infratest diary survey,which caused confusion. Theywere then asked to take it off theair by the BLM.

"Then, Radio Gong started abirthday game and promptly RadioF also started one with a slightlydifferent twist. We . give awayDM1,000 (app. US$590) at 07.15and Radio F now gives the sameamount away at the same time."

Radio F programme directorSigi Hoga counters, "This wholediscussion is ridiculous. The re-ason for our January Tagesbuch ac-tivity was to find the tastes, espe-cially the music tastes of ourlisteners, and certainly not to con-fuse with the Infratest ratings'Tagesbuch'. We stopped this acti-vity because we were asked to doso by the BLM and we co-operateclosely with them, not due to pres-sure from them or our competition.

"As far as the birthday contestgoes, we started our competitionon the exact same day as RadioGong. That both contests involvebirthdays is a fact, but the twocompetitions are otherwise not inthe least similar and the 'birthday'tie-in is a complete coincidence."

Hoga also points out that RadioCharivari was requested by theBLM to change its postcard con-test in order not to confuse theTagesbuch Infratest.

Johannes Kors, BLM pressspeaker and the man that handledthe negotiations verified the situ-ation. "We asked Radio F to stoptheir activity. We became aware ofthis situation through a report fromRadio Charivari. Radio F thenasked us to look into the postcardcompetition of Radio Charivari.We did so and asked the station tochange their working so as not tocause any confusion with our diarytests. They also did so. We got to-gether at an industry event and set-tled the matter between the twostations in a short meeting."

Adds Lockwood, "Our postcard

Astorri Returns To RTL 102.5;Sales, Production A Priority

by David Stansfield

Former Radio Deejay station di-rector and Radio Capital/MilanMD Claudio Astorri has returnedto his position as station managerat RTL 102.5 Hit Radio.

Astorri made the switch fromRTL 102.5 Hit Radio on October15 last year. He rejoined theBergamo -based national networkstation on April 11.

Comments Astorri-who hadonly been at the station for a dayand a half and was preparing toleave for the US National Asso-ciation of Broadcasters springconvention-"At Radio Deejayand Radio Capital I was supposedto relate production to sales, but itwas not possible to reach any con-clusions to my work after sixmonths. There were internal com-pany problems and, while I realisethat nothing is comfortable, mywork was becoming less than that.

"I realised that I need to seethings work. I saw that with thenew potential of RTL 102.5 on themarket, it was possible to returnand make the work of combiningsales and production better. Withnew sales structures introduced atthe station it is possible to do someexcellent work, not only in termsof production and audience, butalso on the market."

Astorri says he sees danger forthe private radio sector on nationalterritory. "Experience has taughtme a major problem facing a sta-tion manager is if marketing isgiven less priority than artisticideas. I'm a radio man with crea-tive ideas in the field of marketingand there is a lot to be done."

Astorri claims that experience atRadio Deejay and Radio Capitalwas excellent in terms of produc-tion. "It was fun to work with thebest DJs on national territory atRadio Deejay. It was also impor-

tant to work with ClaudioCecchetto, co-owner of RadioDeejay and owner of RadioCapital. He has a great mind interms of radio ideas."

Astorri admits to having pro-blems with Cecchetto over the re-lationship of product and sales.

In his first spell at RTL 102.5,Astorri concentrated on program-ming, music and promotion, andsays he was just beginning to re-late it all to marketing. Now hehas full responsibility for productand sales. Explains Astorri, "I willtry, and in the Italian reality wehave to say 'try', to make thingshappen. That means to have goodproduct getting higher audienceshares with a better position on themarket."

No one is expected to leave thestation because of Astorri's return,but a re -allocation of responsibili-ties will be organised among keystaff members.

Comments programme directorBruno Ployer, "Cocciante re-corded an exclusive clip of theSan Remo-winning song, so it'snever been seen before. And weproduced the audio part, which isalso used for the radio ads. Butwe did it in a way which madethe video act as a complement tothe audio. We often get audioparts from videos which we haveto use for radio advertisements.But these are produced mostly forthe purposes of the video." DS

CGD's Senardi EmphasisesAtlantic Back CatalogueStefano Senardi, newly promotedto GM of CGD's pop division, seesincreasing sales of the Atlantic ca-talogue as a major priority. Senardiwas based at WEA, but moved toCGD as marketing director whenWEA bought the firm in 1989.

Says Warner president MarcoBignotti on Senardi's appointment,"I believe that at CGD Senardifound the ideal ambient to give thebest of his managerial qualities. Hehas great knowledge of the sectorand is very loyal. When CGD MDRoberto Magrini nominated himfor the position as GM at the popdivision, it was received with greatsatisfaction."

Senardi maintains there will beno changes in the overall businessphilosophy at the company. But hedoes plan to develop special pro-jects for the Atlantic back catalogueand will place more efforts on inter-national and national newcomers.

Details Senardi, "There are some

very interesting and important newacts at the moment. I believe thenew albums by The Rembrandts,Enuff Z Nuff and Marc Cohnhave great potential. At the otherend of the scale, Bingo Boys areworth watching for. These four actsare among the most important forus at the moment." DS

Round; SIAE vs. BerlusconiItaly's royalties battle is heating upwith some major artists joining thefray. And media magnate SilvioBerlusconi, who controls thecountry's three leading private TVnetwork channels, is prime target.

Berlusconi has been accused forsome time by the Italian SocietyOf Authors & Publishers (SIAE)of failing to pay royalties. TheSIAE stepped up its action re-cently by backing a series ofnewspaper advertisements devotedto the issue (M&M April 6).

On April 9 in Bologna, LuciaDalla (Pressing/BMG), VascoRossi (EMI), Eros Ramazzotti(DDD/BMG), Luca Barbarrossa(Sony), Ornella Vanoni (CGD),Gianni Bella (Fonit Cetra) andRiccardo Cocciante (Virgin)headed a list of top personalitiesfor a special convention called "LaCreativita In Un Paese Malato"

Sentemo Aims For Wider MarketNew AC record company

Sentemo Records hopes to breakinto a wider market with thedebut of its label United Project.

Cessalto-based Sentemo waslaunched last year, complete withits own studio, which companyexecutive director Diego Sandrinsays cost US$500.000.

Sentemo releases only acousticmusic, and product is nationallydistributed by BMG. Other distri-butors have already been found

for the G/A/S territories, theBenelux, Finland and Malaysia.

Comments Sandrin, "Thosedistributors have also made re-quests for less specialised pro-duct. If I was forced into drawingcomparisons I would say it willbe close to GRP Records."

Sandrin plans to buy masterrights mainly from the US. Butthe first release will be an albumby local guitarist GianlucaMosole. DS

(Creativity In A Sick Country).During the convention,

Berlusconi was accused of piracyand exploitation. However, anykind of action against him is beingdelayed until May 27, when a spe-cial association will be formed tofight alongside the SIAE.

A legal battle betweenBerlusconi and the SIAE hasraged since 1987. An initial agree-ment was reached between the twothat 2.5% of Berlusconi's total TVadvertising revenue would be paidto the society towards artist royal-ties. At the Bologna meeting.however, an SIAE representativeclaimed that Berlusconi never paid

anything close to the agreed per-centage.

But the society, which wants thenational copyright fixed at ap-proximately 5%, suffered a blowin the same week as the artists'convention in Bologna. The Romecivil court ruled that Berlusconi'sFininvest company is required topay only 2.5% of its advertisingrevenue to the SIAE. According tojudge Tommaso Marvasi, privateTV stations should not be subjectto the same percentages as stateRAI, which is currently the onlybroadcaster to benefit from livetransmissions and to receive re-venue through licence fees.

We're 'Roking' USSR, SaysNorwegian Satellite Station

by David Rowley

The Oslo -based, Soviet Union -targeted satellite station RadioRoks is claiming resoundingsuccess after only two months onair.

Comments one of the station'sthree Oslo -based DJs, PeterEfimov, "if we can judge by thephone calls and the hundreds ofletters we have been gettingsince we started, then we are onthe right track," he says.

The service-which claims tobe the first true privately ownedcommercial radio station servingthe Soviet Union-had originallyplanned to begin broadcasting inOctober last year, but due to tech-nical problems did not actuallygo on air until late February.

"We are broadcasting 17 hoursa day in Leningrad only at thisstage, says Efimov. "We are hop-ing to add Minsk, Kiev andMoscow as soon as possible, al-though we still have a lot of tech-nical problems with this. But aswe are the first satellite distribu-ted radio network in the Soviet

Union, I think it is to be ex-pected."

Efimov says the station is cur-rently covering a whole range offormat styles, "from AC to CHR,with a little bit of classic rockthrown in".

ResearchForthcoming

Efimov says Radio Roks is cur-rently carrying out what heclaims is the first serious marketresearch in the Soviet Union, butthat results are not yet ready."The Soviet audience has notbeen gauged yet, so we have ten-ded to do a personal, free -formthing for the moment-just tosee what we get a reaction to.But obviously we are conductingextensive research in Leningradand Moscow at the moment tofind out what Russians on theverge of a free market want tohear.

"We will have results fromthat in late May or early June,and then I think we will tend to-wards a tighter playlist and for-mat. But we are aiming for the

most objective opinion we canget out of the people," he says.

The station, which is broadcastvia the Astra satellite, was ex-pected to reach a 50km radiusvia its terrestrial relay. ButEfimov quotes reports of list-eners as far away as Finland,more than 100km away, who areable to pick up the station.

Although Efimov airs someprogrammes in English, the vastmajority of talk is Russian. Thereis, however, an English -langu-age, Pepsi -sponsored "BillboardTop 40" programme broadcastevery week.

The station is also looking toget involved in one of MCM'slive "Rocksat" hook-ups. "Forthe average Russian kid to beable to talk to a famous pop starlive on air is just incredible,"says Efimov.

The biggest difficulty the sta-tion has, he says, is getting rec-ord companies to supply it withproduct. "The corporate attitudetowards selling to the SovietUnion is still very conservative,"he explains.

Finland's IndependentRadio Rates High

by Kari Helopaltio

Radiofaktat '91, the audienceresearch study carried out byFinnpanel/Gallup for Radio -booking, is positive reading tothose involved with local inde-pendent radio. The study, con-ducted on February 14-20, co-vers 36 indie stations andanalyses how they are doing intheir area against the govern-ment's YLE station.

Favourite StationsAsked "which one is your favo-rite station?", listeners named theindie alternative as tops in a ma-jority of the cases, with approvalratings as high 80% in the caseOf Oikea Asema/Kuopio, RadioPori/Pori and Radio Savonnia/Savonlinna. Overall approval ra-tings averaged 60-75% in thecentral area and environs.

In the studied areas, indie sta-tions' weekly reach hit 80%,whereas YLE's three nationalnetworks-YLE 1. Radiomafiaand Radio Suomi-earned ra-

tings of 40%, 52% and 71%, re-spectively. On Thursdays andFridays, indies have been gettingcoverage of 58% and 55%, re-spectively.

Finns are listening to YLE andindies for some four hours andfifteen minutes daily. Of this, theshare of indies is about 35%.Total time devoted to radio liste-ning has not been this high sincethe 1960s, with part of the jumpbeing attributable to the Gulfwar. Listening to indies most ac-tively are pupils and students(86% weekly) and blue collarworkers (85% weekly).

STATION OPERATIONS

Selection, Sequence & Balance:Getting The Music RightSuccess counsellors and human behaviourists will adviseyou to strive for a balance in all aspects of living: profes-

sional, family, mental, spiritual, physical, social, finan-cial, community. Fail to give regular consideration to

each aspect, and you are probably unbalanced. You're aradio programmer. How's your music balance?

by Jonathan Little

My research indicates that list-eners feel a musically unbalan-ced radio station isn't worthspending much time with. That'sa fact to which your former par-tisans will attest. People in the'90s have plenty of options re-questing their time and attention.

It's my notion that a cassetteor CD option has a stronger at-traction today than ever. Manyprogramme directors and GMsare convinced jocks talk toomuch, so they've gagged the tal-ent and replaced them with seg-ues and big voice sweepers.With no real personality holdingmy attention, my car sound sys-tem becomes that much more

In fact, when themusic balance goes bad on myfavourite station, I punch in acassette. I become my own pro-gramme and music director.

Block MusicProgramming

Where has this block music pro-gramming come from that I hearon so many contemporary sta-tions? The mix is a form of discoprogramming or record hopblocks. Top 40 in many caseshas become the "shut up anddance" format. I'm continuallyamazed at how many program-mers today will schedule a blockof dance/rap songs, followed bythree or four album image songsor maybe a cluster of AC songs.This may please a captive aud-ience at a night club or in a gym-nasium: their options are toeither dance or sit down.

But same -style clusters orblocks are by no means the mosteffective way of holding the con-temporary radio fan who tunedin for an interesting variety offavourite hit songs.

I've recently logged two top40 stations side by side: twoAORs and two ACs. In everycase, the stations that got themusic right won the battles inthe autumn.

Midco radio group VP DavidMartin likes to say "listenerswith Arbitron diaries are voters.They will vote for their favouritestation." If yours is a. music in-tensive station, their vote is pri-marily a music vote.

In a recently published arti-

cle, "How Good Is Your RadioStation?", I tried to demonstratethat if you don't get the musicright, you can't win. At least60% of your station's potentialfor winning partisans is in themusic and how you play it.

The most important of allfactors in determining whatmusic makes the grade is yourlistening. Trust your ears. If youknow your ears aren't to be trust-ed, hire a music director withgood ears.

Sequencing. The exact se-quence of songs as the listenerhears them. Call it record orderor flow. Sequencing, along withbalance, can help you create asuperior music product if yourselection is correct.

Record people like to say it's"in the groove" in describing ahit record. Listeners don't say it,but they instinctively understanda hit radio station has it in thegroove, record after record.Want to increase time spentlistening? Want to recycle yourlisteners more effectively? Getthe music right and they'll comeback for more later in the day(vertical recycling) and day afterday (horizontal recycling).

How To Do ItSuccessful programme directorsand MDs get it right by payingcareful attention to three dimen-sions of music programming:selection, sequencing and bal-ance.

Now let's put it all togetherwith customer service guidingyour music decisions. By that Imean your goal is to give the list-ener what he or she wants. Yourselection research had identifiedthe hits. Your perceptual researchand everybody else's (in case youhaven't done yours) tells you thatthe listener wants variety.

How To BalanceAllow me to make a few observa-tions on each of the elements inmusic balance. In the case of po-tency, your hot clock ought todictate this most important ele-ment. That's your primary consi-deration: play hits. Insert newmusic with great care-probably

Successful programme directors and MDsget it right by paying careful attention tothree dimensions of music programming:selection, sequencing and balance.

Selection. A music stationmust play "hits". By my defini-tion, "hits are songs people wantto hear". Careful: that doesn'tnecessarily mean songs peoplewanted to hear a year or fiveyears ago, but it may. The bestway to determine what peoplewant to hear today is to use call -

no more than one new record (onyour playlist three weeks or less)each 30 minutes. Be sure youplay hits on either side of a newrecord.

Balance style/image through-out your 15-20 segments. Loadup with four or five album imageartists consecutively and you've

become an AOR station. Giveme two reggae records in 15

minutes and I may need to fly toJamaica for more or tune in tothe AC station to get away fromit. You likely only have three orfour reggae records on your ent-ire playlist. Why not give methat reggae spice every hour orso?

Tempo variation is essentialto keep your overall sound inter-esting. Vary your velocity, usingthree tempo categories-up,medium, down.

Please give me an hour sepa-ration on the same artist/group(Phil Collins, Genesis). I tunedin for variety, not sameness. Andbalance the gender. It makes yourstation more desirable whenthere is obviously a human mindbehind the sequencing plan.

When programming oldies(and many music -intensive con-temporary stations programme atleast 35% listener -perceived old-ies), keep balance as a priority. If35% is four oldies per hour, forproper balance put one in eachquarter hour and place eacholdie carefully to enhance thebalance of style/image. Oldiesand recurrents are possibly yourmost important balancing tool.

If you're planning to do afeature/tribute to a major artistcelebrating a birthday, you'll doyour station more good if you setit up and deliver that feature plusa record every 60 or 90 minutesthan if you shoot your wholewad with the feature piece andthree -in -a -row by the artist.

When dayparted songs be-come available, use care that thetexture of your station doesn'tchange drastically. What was amainstream top 40 station canbecome the heavy metal -dance -rap station after 18.00 if you'renot careful. You certainly wantto consider the available aud-ience (that's why you daypartedin the first place), but don't open

the flood gates on dayparted rec-ords at any given moment.Always focus on the hits.Dumping in a bunch of day -parted songs at 18.00 may diluteyour potency just as keeping allthe hard, uptempo songs out ofmidday may cause you to loseyour hit emphasis.

A Final Note AboutGetting It Right

Who's doing the music? Theprogramme director? The MD?With computer software? Byhand? I heard an awful mix re-cently and probed the pro-gramme director about some ofthe foul-ups I had heard (like thesame recurrent playing in thevery same slot three days in arow; like the same oldies playingin the very same order and in thevery same hours for a weekstraight). The programme direct-or responded that he knew aboutthe problem and also thought themix was terrible, but he said thestation would have to live with itfor a while because it was a soft-ware problem. A software pro-blem?!! A software problem?Sorry if I'm getting emotional,but who's programming the sta-tion? The programme director isultimately responsible. Don'tblame the software. While thestation is living with bad soft-ware, the listeners have gone el-sewhere. Kill the software anddo the music by hand.

Doing the music right. It's anart, it's a science, it's research,it's intuition, it's gut, it's com-mon sense, it's easy, it's hard. It'sall those things. Most of all-it'simportant. It's the most import-ant thing a programmer does. Ifyou want to win, first get themusic right!

SPECIAL REPORT

Seven Lessons Europeans Should KnowJohn Abel, executive vice president of the US National

Association of Broadcasters, offers seven tips on howEuropeans can better the radio industry and how

American investors view European markets.

by John Abel

In many ways, you are the envy ofAmerican broadcasters. This is be-cause of the exciting challengesand rewards you have yet to faceand achieve. You have many deci-sions to make and risks to take onthe road to greatness. Naturally,we are drawn to your Continent insearch of the opportunity to parti-cipate in the development of an in-dustry we love.

Am I being presumptuous bysuggesting that American broad-casters have anything to teachover here? You are the expertswhen it comes to the traditions,cultures, regulatory constraintsand audiences of your own coun-tries. Americans can presume noexpertise there.

However, we do know a lotabout radio: the competition, pro-gramming and promotion. Weknow a lot about how to sell radio,manage stations and operate in aregulated industry.

From our experiences, I thinkwe do have some lessons to offeras you go through the phasesdeveloping a private radio indus-try. Frankly, there are a number ofUS investors who are most eagerto try tapping some of these les-sons themselves with Europeanpartners. Let me then offer a fewof these.

Lesson OneBe wary of Americans giving ad-vice about how to run your radioindustry. I say this only somewhatjokingly. Whatever the similari-ties, there are sure to be major dif-ferences which must be carefullyidentified and considered beforeapplying any lessons from the USexperience. American radio grewup from its start in a private andcommercial context. This is differ-ent from many of your situations,although obviously, this has beenchanging.

Lesson TwoKnow your audience. As youraudiences are exposed to morechoices in stations, you will haveto work harder to attract and keepthem. This requires expertise inaudience research, programmingand promotion.

One of the most significantnew research trends is the growingappetite for qualitative research.This is research that goes beyondcounting the number of listenersand identifying their ages and gen-der. Qualitative research describesto the broadcaster and their adver-tisers such things as where theaudience lives, what products and

services they purchase, what life-styles they select and, perhaps,something about how they viewthemselves and the world aroundthem. This information is provingvaluable both to radio program-mers trying to attract and maintainan audience franchise and to radioadvertisers trying to find buyersfor their goods.

Lesson ThreeIt is not enough to have a greatstation if your audience does notknow it. Unless the audienceknows about your station and iswilling to sample it, it does notmatter how well you know or pro-gramme for their tastes. It is notviable to think that your station isequally attractive to all audiencesegments.

political profile than TV. Thismakes entry, ownership and opera-tion somewhat easier. For ex-ample, many of the cross -owner-ship restrictions, which areparamount in many Europeancountries, focus much more on TVand newspapers and tend not todeal so heavily with radio.

Unlike other media, such aspublishing, broadcast TV or cableTV, radio requires less capital in-vestment and, therefore, can reachprofitability much sooner. We seehow some companies, such asCompagnie Luxembourgoise DeTelediffusion (CLT) have par-layed strategic investments inradio into later expansion into TV.

Also there are more opportuni-ties in radio simply because therewill be more radio stations thanTV stations, cable systems ornewspapers.

The key to any investment inEuropean radio is valuing the fran-chise and then growing that value.However, franchise valuation is

Look for NABto play a roleassisting the

developmentof private

radio inEurope.

Commercial radio stations areanother product to the consumer.The particular benefits your sta-tion offers, whether it is a certaintype of music or high quality newsprogramming, must be identifiedto the audience in a way they un-derstand and appreciate.

Stations must constantly runpromotions to remind their aud-ience they are there and to re-inforce their benefits. Radio is amarketing -intensive medium.Broadcasters rely on their ownmedium for promotion, but do notstop there. US radio broadcastersare heavy users of TV, newspaper,and outdoor advertising. They arealso constantly sponsoring com-munity events to become a part ofthe community and never let list-eners forget they are there provi-ding a service.

Lesson FourPrivate radio in Europe is an ex-cellent long-term investment. Formedia firms seeking to diversifyinto Europe, commercial radiooffers substantial upside from astrategic perspective.

First, radio has a much lower

difficult when, in many cases,there simply is no experience incommercial radio. The supply ofradio stations will affect demandand, therefore, value.

An average limit of perhaps20% foreign ownership of mediacompanies will affect demand byreducing the eligibility of foreigncapital in bidding for radio stakes.While the new EC consolidationdue to take affect in 1993 will in-crease free trade among partners,it is still not clear that trade will beso free when it comes to the own-ership of local stations.

Lesson FiveCarefully plan your entry pointinto European radio. Media an-alyst Paul Kagan predicts that forEC nationals seeking a 20% to25% stake in radio propertieswithin the EC, there are unlikelyto be significant political obsta-cles. Even for EC nationals, whenthe ownership stake sought isgreater than 30% or so, the politi-cal difficulties are likely to in-crease substantially.

Among non -EC nationals,Kagan estimates that any owner-

ship stake of 20% or less will notcause political fall -out. However,non -EC nationals seeking owner-ship stakes of greater than 20%are likely to be disappointed, ex-cept perhaps in Greece.

How do European radio oppor-tunities look to Americans when itcomes to assessing the politicalenvironment?

In Belgium, there are morethan 600 radio operators. It ap-pears that the government findsforeign involvement relatively be-nign when it comes to local radiobut gets more concerned over sig-nificant network control.

In contrast, Denmark, with itsvery small radio industry, has agovernment which has severe pro-blems with foreign ownership.

In France, the radio industry isfairly well -developed with nearly2.000 radio stations, predomi-nantly private and over half notaffiliated with the top networks.This leaves room for foreign in-vestors who are prospecting theopportunities in French radio.However, foreign control of morethan one property is unlikely. Thesmaller private radio stations havebeen doing well in France. In thepast four years, local private ra-dio's share of the audience has in-creased from 26.7% to 38.4%.The growth of ad billings wasprojected to hit 25% for 1990compared to off -years for radio inboth the US and the UK.

The situation is different inGermany where ownership con-trols are firmly in place at the be-hest of state governments.

In Greece, there is virtually anopen market for radio, perhapsdue to an economic environmentleading the government to wel-come foreign investment.

Holland's small radio industry.is dominated by public broadcast-ing and potential foreign owner-ship of any new stations faces sig-nificant obstacles.

Italy's 4.000 private radio sta-tions operate in a chaotic environ-ment. The major concern in Italianmedia policy is cross -ownership,particularly newspaper -TV combi-nations. Unless sizeable foreign -owned networks are the objective,the government is likely to be rela-tively friendly to foreign investors.

In Portugal, the governmenthas a fairly relaxed attitude to-wards foreign investment in radiobut again, hardens its line when itcomes to TV and cross -owner-ship.

Foreign involvement on a

limited scale in Spain would cre-ate few political problems. Thereis an active private radio industrythere.

Finally, in the UK, the politicalclimate is hostile to high -profileforeign control of radio. This isnot the case in cable TV wherethere is significant US participa-

tion. In summary, it appears thatthe southern European countriesare more interested than northerncountries in permitting or even en-couraging foreign interests andcontrol in their media.

Lesson SixThere is substantial growth poten-tial in European radio advertising.Radio is the second -fastest grow-ing advertising medium, after TV.European radio is predicted togrow about 8%, which is threetimes the 2.8% growth rate in theUS. Overall, Saatchi & Saatchipredicts that ad growth will reach11.2% in the period 1988-1992,reaching to US$71 billion.

There is typically a strong rela-tionship between growth in retailspending and advertising- basedmedia. In the UK, for everyUS$1.000 of retail sales, US$4.87is converted into radio sales rev-enues. In Europe, only US$1.92 istaken out of every US$1.000 ofretail sales, so there is certainlyroom to grow.

Lesson SevenRadio programming will becomemore diverse in Europe.Inevitably, as the result of growthin the number of stations, the pro-gramming will become more di-verse. This is true for local andnational and syndicated program-ming. The various models of syn-dicated programming are alreadychanging, in part, due toAmerican influence.

Look for NAB to play a role inassisting the development of pri-vate radio in Europe. The NABhas long been active in Europeanand other international broadcast-ing forums. Although, until re-cently, this involvement has large-ly been constrained to technicalareas. Now that more govern-ments are opening up to commer-cial broadcasting systems, more ofwhat we do is relevant throughoutEurope. NAB's president/CEOEddie Fritts chairs the radio com-mittee of the newly createdInternational Media Fund(IMF). It is designed to assist inthe development of commercialbroadcasting for Eastern and cen-tral European states.

As some of you may alreadyknow, in June 1992, NAB will co-sponsor a conference devoted ex-clusively to radio with Montreux,Switzerland. We will present fo-rums on management, engineer-ing, programming, promotion andresearch, as well as exhibits.

While our industries will growto become increasingly similar, inthis global village, the richnessand diversity of European culturecannot be lost. There is a diffe-rence between things Americanand things European, and thisshould be respected and nurtured.Vive la difference!



HARDWARE/SOFTWARE

Special Event RadioServices On The Up

by Andy Bantock

Special event radio, or restrictedservices as it is now known, hasbecome a popular way forgroups who do not have fullbroadcast licences to get on theair. It can also be used for largeevents to give the group's aud-ience a new dimension to theirlistening enjoyment.

First tried in the UK in 1986,special event radio was intendedto provide information or com-mentary to listeners attendinglarge gatherings. Spectatorswould use conventional radios,or "target tuners", set on the spe-

Firth Radio in Scotland alsoused a special event transmitterto provide a "Radio Ski" serviceinforming potential skiers aboutthe state of the slopes and theweather, etc.

Special event radio has beenused for all sorts of promotionaland other purposes. A recent usewas at the Radio AdvertisingAwards at Grosvenor House inLondon. Those present weregiven target tuners and theycould listen to examples of thecommercials on the air. Thisevent, incidentally, was probablyone of the first transmissions tobe staged underground!

Special event broadcasting can be ofgreat benefit to both listeners andparticipants.

cific frequency to listen to theproceedings.

Motor racing was one sportwhich benefited early. Anyonewho has been to a race will knowthat attempts to listen to the com-mentary over the conventionalpublic address systems arethwarted by the noise of the cars.The Le Mans 24 Hours race hashad the benefit of the French ver-sion of special event radio forseveral years, in their case run-ning quite a few watts comparedto the 50mW, hitherto the maxi-mum in the UK.

One motor racing specialevent in which this author wasinvolved was a European GrandPrix at Brands Hatch. On me-dium wave, the station was audi-ble within the grounds and im-mediately outside for about threeto four kilometres. As well as of-fering a full commentary service,the station also had a music and

Another first for special eventswas at the 1990 Radio AcademyFestival in Glasgow. Here,Academy Radio was the firststation in the UK to broadcast(officially) using AM Stereo.The Motorola C-QUAM systemwas utilised by PhoenixCommunications, the transmit-ter suppliers, and delegates weregiven the chance to sample thesystem at first hand. AcademyRadio also provided students ofradio with real on -air experience,something that is very difficult togain elsewhere.

How easy is it to get on airwith special event radio? TheRadio Authority has recently is-sued updated guidelines for res-tricted services and has also, inconjunction with the Departmentof Trade & Industry (DTI), intro-duced a new high -power FM lic-ence. Up to now, the maximumerp (effective radiated power) for

a special event station was50mW, enough to cover a fairlydecent area as long as you we-ren't in a city. As a result of thechanges in the law, with the in-troduction of the BroadcastingAct, the Radio Authority (whichtook over special event adminis-tration from the DTI) now offersthree levels of licence on eachwaveband.

On AM (medium wave), pot-

ential broadcasters now have achoice of less than 50mW,50mW to 1W and 1W to 25W,the latter only being issued in ex-ceptional circumstances becauseof the fairly dangerous nature ofAM at those power levels.Likewise, at FM, the three levelsare less than 50mW, 50mW to1W and I W to 25W.

Along with the power increa-ses comes, of course, a price riseand with an application fee, aRadio Authority fee and aWireless Telegraphy Act fee tothe DTI all being charged. Appli-cants now pay £340 for the lo-west power AM licence to£1.870 for the 25W FM version.

There are fairly stringent con-ditions that have to be met bothtechnically and regarding suchaspects as ownership, eligibilityof applicants, programme con-tent and sources of funding.

For all that, special eventbroadcasting can be of great be-nefit to both listeners and partici-pants and is an excellent trainingground for work on radio.

Studer MakesRecordable CD A Reality

Swiss audio equipment manufac-turer Studer, in conjunction withPhilips, has released the firstpractical CD recorder/player andis pitching it heavily at the radiomarket.

The D740 is a completely self-contained unit, and does not needa PC or other external device tocontrol it. Even the subcode canbe written on to the disc fromfront -panel controls. It has beenestimated that currently 60% ofprogramme material originatesfrom CD and the introduction ofthis unit (retailing at around£10.000) will allow stations toachieve a much higher proportionof digital audio playback.

Where, until now, a station thatplays a lot of oldies on vinyl 45smight have transferred them on to

NAB cart or DAT (both formalswith a finite lifetime). the CD re-corder will allow them to be per-manently transferred onto a disc,permitting the 45 to be stored oreven sold to raise some money.Jingles and long -running promomaterial can also be transferredonto CD, allowing stations whichutilise CD "jukeboxes" to auto-matically control an even greaterrange of programme output.

The Studer unit is housed in a3u rack case with balanced lineinputs and outputs plus digital inand out (SPDIF and AES/EBU)format. The unit can be used as aconventional studio CD playerwith full remote capability. Moredetails from Studer/FWO Bauch,Borehamwood, Herts. UK. Tel:1+44t 081-9530091.

US's NAB Endorses Eureka147 DAB System

The US's National AssociationOf Broadcasters (NAB) RadioBoard has endorsed the Eureka147 digital audio broadcastingsystem for use in the US and theEuropean developers of Eureka147 are negotiating with the NABto allow them to licence the tech-nology in North America.

Also in the US, the NationalRadio Systems Committee(NRSC) seems likely to acceptanother European developed pro-duct. RDS, as the standard for a

"format selection" system. To befair, though. RDS is the only sys-tem of its kind available, so theyhave to. don't they?!

Leonard Kahn, developer ofthe Kahn/Hazeltine independentSideband AM Stereo System is atit again.

Despite all the omens pointingto the Europe -wide acceptance ofMotorola's C-QUAM system.Kahn is busy "adopting a licens-ing policy for its European pat-ents".

UK Publishes New LocalRadio Engineering Code

The long-awaited revised engin-eering code of practice is about tobe issued by the UK RadioAuthority. Since the Authoritytook over from the IndependentBroadcasting Association (IBA)at the beginning of the year, it hasbeen compiling a new set of stan-dards to cover transmission syst-ems, having dropped all technicalstandards for studio equipment.

The code applies only to localradio and not to restricted ser-vices (special events) or nationalradio. It will relate to the efficientuse of radio spectrum, the protec-tion of other spectrum users and"those circumstances whereadherence to a particular trans-mission standard is believed tobetter serve the widest interests ofthe consumer". This means thateven if you think the three housesin a particular valley don't war-rant the cost of a higher -gain ant-

enna, the Authority can make youinstal it.

Another change to the way theAuthority operates is its new pre-clearance policy. Whereas, duringthe last round of licence issuing,the IBA had to apply for fre-quency/site clearance from theDTI only after the licence hadbeen awarded, now the Authoritypre -clears frequencies and sitesfor the advertised areas.

This means that the process ofawarding licences should be spedup and prospective licence hold-ers can get on with the otherthings they have to do. However,this system has led to some criti-cism, especially regarding the re-lationship between the Authorityand NTL, the old IBA technicaldivision. It is they who actuallydo the computer survey and itwas generally thought that, as aresult, they would tend to favour

clearing NTL sites, thus forcinglicensees to use their facilities.

This has been vigorously de-nied by both the Authority andNTL, the former in the shape ofMark Thomas, head of engineer-ing, assuring me that they wouldconsider all sites: NTL, BBC andprivate. So far, however, all thesuggested sites have been NTL orjoint NTL/BBC ones-with hor-rendous cost implications for po-tential applicants.

The Authority has now alteredits system slightly so that, in ad-dition to the pre -cleared site, itdoes a basic coverage survey on asecond to give the licensee achoice of transmission site or theAuthority an alternative in case ofproblems. The first of the licenceswill be issued very soon, so wewill be able to gauge the successor otherwise of the Authority's ef-forts.



NEW RELEASES

SINGLES

The BlessingHighway 5 - MCAThis will definitely be one of the really bignames of the '90s. Singer William Topleysounds reminiscent of The Christians andSeal. Who could possibly refuse this debutsingle? The song was also featured on theCD -insert of Music Monitor II in M&M,issue 14.

Daryl BraithwaiteRise - ColumbiaConventional American rock fromAustralia. Former Sherbert singerBraithwaite rides along the SpringsteenAvenue and the Hiatt Boulevard with thetitle track of his second solo album. Theharmonica gives the song the right touch.

Belinda CarlisleVision of You - VirginNow that rumours are spreading about areunion of The Go-Go's, this re-release ofan old Carlisle solo record will kill time.The slow, catchy melody will provide amoment of peace on EHR stations.

Dr. AlbanU & Mi - Swemix/LogicNew recipe from the same private prac-tice. For the follow-up to Hello Afrika andNo Coke the Swedish bush doctor hasadded a spoonful of Real Milli Vanilli tohis magic potion. Top -40 programmersmust take a shot of it.

Daffy DuckParty Zone - WEACartoon characters become pop stars inthe '90s. First there was German comicstrip hero Werner Beinhart, then there wasDanish "TV star" Hugo. Now it's DaffyDuck's turn, backed by The GrooveThang. The peculiar thing is, there are nostrange voices on this particular rap song.

ElectronicGet The Message - VirginBernard Sumner (New Order) and JohnnyMarr (ex -The Smiths) team up again. Thestriking result is an atmospheric dancesong underpinned by an acoustic guitar, anovelty in these groovy times. Follow-upto last year's hit single Getting Away WithIt.

EMFChildren - ParlophoneThe completion of the trip-tych. After theEuropean hit singles Unbelievable and IBelieve, here's the finishing touch. Themelody is soaked in a bubble bath ofstrange synthesizer sounds. Dance pro-grammers, watch your step.

Golden EarringGoing To The Run - ColumbiaThirty years of hard labour in rock & rolland still unstoppable. Golden Earring arethe Dutch Stones. This power ballad istaken from the forthcoming JohnSonneveld co -produced album BloodyBuccaneers, and bloody well done too.Already a hit in Holland, Belgium andGermany will follow.

Les InfidelesNon Plus de Sang - TremaFrench pop/rock outfit who certainly knowhow to rock. The raw guitar cuts deep intoyour mind. But in some parts they delibera-tely keep their hands off that noise toy,which gives the music more depth.

Little AngelsProduct Of The Working Class - PolydorGet rid of the hairspray stuff, it's blue col-lar days again in hard rock land. This tuneis so damn catchy, the "la -la -la" part of thechorus could very well be the anthem ofany football supporters' club. This year'schampions of the metal division.

PersonnelDo You Know What Love Is? - PolydorThe ultimate problem revisited. This Dutchband ask the same question as Foreignerand many others have, but now in a guitar -driven pop style with some striking breaks.It's slow but certainly demanding; greatcrossover possibilities to the Swiss market.

Transvision Vamp

(I Just Wanna) B With U - MCASexy Wendy James went down to Man-chester to find the appropriate beats forthis tune. The chorus is in a really niceold-fashioned Joan Jett style. Bubblegumpop at its best.

ALBUMS

Al Bano & Romina PowerLe Piu' Belle Canzoni - CGDGreatest hits album by the famous Italianduo. Featuring the 1982 European hitsingles Felicita and Sharazan and the cur-rent single Oggi Spossi. The German mar-ket is expected to be most receptive to thistypical Italian music.

BoDeansBlack And White - SlashFrom early 1986, the extremely poppyBoDeans have grabbed everyone's atten-tion. In those days they were regarded as amusicians' band. The T -Bone Burnett -pro-duced first album Love, Hope, Sex AndDreams made former Band mainstayRobbie Robertson invite vocalist SamLianas to collaborate on his 1987 solodebut album. Now on their fourth albumproduced by David Z (Prince), they finallyseem to be able to cross over to a muchwider audience on their own. The catchytrack Paradise will enrich top 40 radio.

Definition Of SoundLove And Life - CircaStanding at the crossroads again. The hiphop genre has developed into the mainroad. And from all sides other music stylespop in. Definition Of Sound control allmusical traffic perfectly. The single WearYour Love Like Heaven (samples from TheAverage White Band?) with the loud hon-king car horns is an unbelievable clash ofstyles: pop, funk, punk and dance. RiseLike The Sun marks the unavoidable colli-sion of raggamuffin' and acid jazz.

Will DowningA Dream Fulfilled - 4th & BroadwayOn his third Wayne Braithwaite/Barry J.Eastmond-produced album, Downingsounds more sophisticated than ever. Soulis put more to the background-jazz on aneasy listening level is now upfront. Onlythe single The World Is A Ghetto fits theEHR format. Night-time programmerswill have to take care of the rest.

NEW TALENT

4 Ever 1And The Beat Goes On - Itchy Music(Sweden)Cover version of the famous Whispersgolden oldie in a half rap/half vocal ar-rangement. In their homeland, Sweden,it's already a dancefloor filler. Licenceand publishing rights are available in allEuropean territories outside Scandinavia.Contact GOrgen Jonsson on tel. (46) 90-18 01 65; fax: 90-18 01 64.

Daryll-AnnDaryll-Ann EP - Kelt (Holland)Latest signing to the famous Dutch newbeat label are a real asset. Especially onthe track Blind they're very reminiscentof the days the top band of this genre,Les Zazous, were still recording underthe same banner. Contact Wouter VerrijnStuart on tel: (31) 20-623 2790 or 30-316875; fax: 30-343 270.

Carolyn RoweCome On, Come On - Universal (UK)Co -written with her musical partner IanHenry, this is a dance track which willmake everybody sweat. Both hailingfrom the five -piece band Malibu, theyare now working on a video to back upthe single. But even without visual mate-rial, the song will stand on its ownthanks to Rowe's strong vocal input.Contact Steve Hooker on tel. (44) 702-465 403.

Susu BilibiDwizo Nefa - Face Music (Switzerland)Hello West Africa. Susu Bilibi are fivenatives of Togo plus Swiss saxophoneplayer Karoly Horvarth. They don't stickto the traditional "high life" music, theyinject it with musical influences from theWestern world. Contact tel. (41) 1-7202684.

Sara HickmanShortstop - ElektraSecond album by talented singer/songwri-ter, who has a realistic and positive viewon life. According to Ms. Hickman it'struly a Shortstop and she wants to enjoyher part of the game. So she producedthree of the songs and let DavidKershenbaum (Joe Jackson) handle theother eight tracks. David Lindley featureson mandolin on the immediately attractiveopening track In The Fields, but she willscore biggest airplay on If We Sent OurHearts Over Now.

OMDSugar Tax - VirginPop melodies and synthesizers were neverregarded as the best partners. But thanks toOrchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark theygot married, and are still happily togetheron the ninth album in a 12 -year career. Thefirst single, Sailing On The Seven Seas, isalready a hit in the UK. Hearing the com-plete set, the band are still sticking to thepoppy sound they're renowned for. ButApollo XI-a return to the days of the firstman on the moon-sounds different, likethe old Kraftwerk trying their luck on thecurrent dance scene.

RauschGlad - VertigoJust as the world gets used to the idea ofone Germany, the Cologne band Rauschrelease an album loud enough to split thecountry into as many different states as inthe pre -Bismarck days. Fine melodies keepthe raw rock cacophony bearable. Thetrack Trashman reflects all the garbage ofthe industrialised world we live in. Let TheMachines Work is their political statement-in an inventive rap arrangement, featuringfactory noises mixed with the sound of awonderful trumpet from the open windowof some decadent nightclub. Great (Iggy)pop appeal.

Redd Kross

Third Eye - AtlanticLabel debut for Atlantic by this LA -basedband, mixing Beatles pop with punk tou-ches (Shone Knife). The track BubblegumFactory demonstrates nicely what they'reall about: it goes "bang!". But the melodywill live on forever in your head. The trioexcel in beautiful harmony vocals. Try thesingle Annie's Gone and explode yourmind. Programmers tuned into Jellyfish gofor it. "Pow!"

The band was carefullyhyped, advertised and merchandised; theirvideos became real classics. Now he usesall this know-how for his own good.

With the release Dreams That MoneyCan't Buy, the follow-up to 1989's Blast, hecarefully follows the same path. As alwaysthere will be a big emphasis on the (anima-ted) video which accompanies the firstsingle Across The Universe, which was si-multaneously released on April 2 in all terri-tories.

The music on the album is still pop, butmore dance -orientated than ever. The trackThe People You Want To Dance is a primeexample of this. Johnson recycled withoutthe least regrets the Two Tribes bass line ofhis FGTH hit archives. There are also someballads on the album, like I Need Your love,which is his first attempt to write a classiclove song.

The album was recorded at theTownhouse Studios in London, and produ-ced by former FGTH-colleague Andy

Richards, with Dan Hartman producingone track (Penny Arcade). Jazz catCourtney Pine plays a superb solo on thatparticular tune. The album is built up to aclimax; the best track The Great Love Story,a big production number, is featured as the"grande finale".

A massive poster campaign will supportthe album. The main goal of the promotioncampaign, however, is to get the man onTV. MCA product manager CarolineDenley says, "We want him on TV, lots ofTV. We want a high profile, just to let thepeople know 'Holly Johnson is back'. We al-ready have good pre -sales on the album,also in Europe where we have a good base."

Spanish 'I'VE 2 recorded a special withJohnson for the programme "Rockopop" forbroadcast in May. In April, he appeared in"Countdown" on Dutch public broadcasterVeronica. In May, he will be seen onAustrian and Swedish TV. Plans forJohnson also spending promotion time inItaly and Germany in May have not beenconfirmed yet. At the moment a strategy forFrance is being developed. A concert tourwon't be scheduled before the end of thisyear.

TV and radio advertising is only conside-red for the second phase, but nothing is con-firmed yet. Campaigns vary from market tomarket.

Ten Sharp Signed to Sony Music Holland Publisher: Sony Music. Management: Yolanda Abbes/

Amsterdam. New Album: Under The Water -Line

released on April 2, currently at no. 42in Holland.

New Single: You released on March 4,currently at no. 7 in Holland in threeweeks' time. Also it is top 3 in theDutch airplay charts.

Recorded at Spitsbergen Studios/Zuidbroek and Wisseloord Studios/Hilversum.

Producer: Michiel Hoogeboezem andNiels Hermes.

Promotion: In April, they organised aspecial day for press and one other forlocal radio stations.

The album will be released in an ex-tended version in Belgium, Norwayand the G/A/S territories on May 13.Releases are also scheduled inAustralia and Mexico. In Belgium thesingle is already out.

Back from a long rest as recording artists,Ten Sharp, who are now reduced to aduo, hit the Dutch charts immediately withthe single You. Songwriter/keyboardistNiels Hermes and singer MarcelKapteijn are the two remaining membersof the original five -piece band. Former

bass player Ton Groen is still working inthe background as lyricist.

On their new Michiel Hoogeboezemco -produced seven -track album, UnderThe Water -Line they succeeded magnifi-cently in reviving their very own tinklingpiano dominated sound, renowned fromtheir 1986 hit single Japanese Lovesong.Their AOR songs breathe the same at-mosphere as Bruce Hornsby's music. It isalso reminiscent of Spandau Ballet.

Sony Music Holland decided to releasea mini -album by the duo for the Dutchmarket, because they felt they had to re-introduce them to the public. So they keptit low price. That certainly paid off, with15.000 copies sold.

But for releases outside Holland, a newlonger version of the album will be rele-ased on May 13. Two of the reasons arethat special -price albums don't chart onmost of the European markets, and youcan't sell a mini -album for the price of afull-length album. The new version willalso be released in Holland with a slightlydifferent sleeve design. The single is al-ready out in Belgium; it is playlisted onRadio Royaal/Hamont-Achel.

The band already did a lot of promotionin Holland. They did acoustic radio ses-sions for public broadcasters AVRO andVeronica. Also they appeared on TROS's"Popformule" and Veronica's "Count-down" on Dutch national TV, and on "5Uur Show" on private station RTL 4. Avideo of the single will be ready togetherwith the European album release.

UNITED KINGDOM

The Wonder Stuff Signed to Polydor worldwide. Publisher: PolyGram. Management: Dave Aldridge/

London. A new album (title tba) will be rele-

ased by the end of May, beginning ofJune.

New Single: The Size Of A Cow, rele-ased on April 2 all over Europe, cur-rently charted in the UK at no. 5 afteronly two weeks and in Ireland at no.21. In the Coca-Cola Eurochart Hot100 Singles it is at no. 22.

Recorded at Townhouse/London Producer: Mick Glossop. Promotion: The band have had front

cover stories in two UK major rockmagazines, one in NME and one in thelast ever issue Sounds.

From June on they will go on an 18 -month world tour, including the UK inJune, the European festivals in Julycontinuing in mainland Europe inSeptember and then the UK again inNovember.

This year seems to mark the return of theclassic pop tune. From Susanna Hoffs toREM and the Milltown Brothers, inNick Lowe's words it's "pure pop for nowpeople". And the ultimate pop song of1991 is The Size Of A Cow by TheWonder Stuff.

The band have a highly unique attitude,

they simply have an irrepressible enthus-iasm. The perfect pop melody is chased bythe masses: it is already no. 5 in the UKafter only two weeks. The song is backedup by a colourful, hilarious video, whichis now showing on MTV.

The "fab 5" are certainly outgrowingtheir position of "indie" group-they stilluse their own Far Out Recording Co.label logo-in some style; now they are aseriously high profile rock act. They arepriority for Polydor International tobreak worldwide. The previous two al-bums, 1988's The Eight Legged GrooveMachine and 1989's Hup already sold gold(100.000 copies) in the UK.

Their third, as yet untitled album, duefor release by the end of May/beginning ofJune, will be marketed with intense detail,which means everything you can possiblythink of. Just to name a few: there will bea massive poster campaign, press adverti-sing, in-store material like mobiles.Polydor wants it the revolutionary way,really noticeable, big and striking.

Pan -European Spotlight: Artists featu-red have achieved Top 15 chart status inthe European Top 100 Albums within thelast five years.National Spotlight: Artists featuredhave achieved Top 15 chart status in theircountry of origin.

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 fulltirne or during specific dayparts. Songs in "A" rotation airplay receive more points thanthose in "B" rotation or more limited airplay exposure. Stations are weighted by market size and by the number of hours per week commit-ted to the format..

The EHR "chartbound" chart lists the total number of EHR reporting stations playing newer songs that do not yet haveenough airplay points to rank among the EHR Top 25. The second number represents how many stations reported it toM&M for the first time. Records which have previously charted and ore still active, although forced off the Top 25 by other songs, mayqualify for "Chartbounds". Songs which have received no new airplay for two consecutive weeks will be deleted from this chart, but may reap.pear with new airplay. In the case of a tie, songs are listed alphabetically by artist. Arrows indicate new entries in Chartbound.

The EHR Tracking Report represents the simple, unweighted, total number of EHR reporting stations playing a song overall,how many stations have that song in either an "A" or "B" rotation, and how many new adds it has received. If the number of songs in "A" and "8"combined do not match the total station count, it is because some stations either have reported it as part of album airplay or have not indicated it in"A" or "8" rotation yet. In the case of a tie, songs are listed alphobeticallly by artist.

Airplay ActionThe EHR records keep fallingfor Rod Stewart, as "RhythmOf My Heart" has eclipsedSting's "All This Time" formost weeks at no. 1. Stewartcaptured the crown for the fifthconsecutive week, and couldextend the record a sixth weekdue to its overwhelming pan-European appeal.With the current shortage of fe-male artists in the Top 25, it'snot surprising that three of thefour contenders for power (or"Al rotation are by women:Madonna, Cher, GloriaEstefan, andZucchero/Paul Young.Each took major chart jumps ofeight or more notches thisweek.Meanwhile, last week's prime

movers - Mike & The Me-chanics, Rick Astley andScritti Politti & ShabbaRanks - will have to battle tohold their respective positions,facing competition from thisweek's four Top 25 debuts. Ledby Top Add Leader MichaelBolton, which entered at no.18, Roachford, O.M.D. andMock Turtles also joined Bol-ton in the chart for first time in1991.The critically acclaimed Rem-brandts, who are this week'sno. 1 Chartbound, are on theverge of scoring a Top 25 posi-tion next week, with Banana-rama and Joe Jackson clo-sing in.

What's happening with Ro-bert Palmer, Wilson Phil-lips, the Scorpions and Al-ison Moyet? All four arewithin striking distance of theTop 25, and with a soft lowerhalf of the chart in play thisweek, may only need a hand-ful of additional stations to ad-vance from their upper Chart -bound positions.There are several newer songsgaining significant airplay, in-cluding Wonderstuff, Al-ison Limerick, Black Box,Transvision Vamp, theSimpsons, Clash, Divinylsand French star Mylene Far-mer. Re-establishing radiosupport this week are INXS,US chart -topper Amy Grantand Womack & Womack.

THE AMERICAN MODEL - CHAPTER 2

The End Of 'Broadcasting'by E. Karl

US AM "broadcast stations startedfeeling the beginning of the end of"broadcast" radio stations at theend of the '60s. The beginning of"narrowcasting" had begun. Atfirst, though, it was all still prettysimple.

There were AM stations that stillplayed everything from the Beatlesand Herman's Hermits to AndyWilliams and Peggy Lee, andthere were FM stations that playedeverything from the RollingStones and Jimi Hendrix to CSNand Elton John. The AM stationsstill got away with being "MOR",or middle-of-the-road. The FMswere "Rockers". But the focus ofboth was still pretty well blurred.

The field started getting crow-

ded. AMs stood by and watched asFMs started getting in their knic-kers by attracting audiences, andthey did it by playing a better con-centration of music (with less in-formation and fewer commercials)and by having the superior stereosound.

By early 1971, FMs startedplaying "Top 40" as well as justrock and roll. AMs still struggledto "play it all", trying to keep upwith FM by playing the top charthits along with still attempting toshowcase their Broadway tunesand news blocks. But FM was ste-aling the show: FMs unwittinglystarted playing music that fit nar-row -target audiences (like a rifleshot), while AMs still aimed tocover a broad base (like a shotgunblast).

Next week: Chapter 3: "TheArrival Of The Research Era".This column is the second in a se-ries of weekly articles on thedevelopment of contemporaryAmerican radio programmingand its likely impact on theEuropean marketplace.

BRN Sees ExpansionThe Business Radio Network(BRN) is alive and well, quietlygrowing into 16 of the top 20markets, most recently addingWQXR/New York as an affiliate.The 24 -hour Colorado Springs -based financial and business newssatellite format is now on the airon 76 radio stations in the US.Courtesy of Radio Watch.

NAB Urges WARCAllocation Of DABSpectrum SpaceThe National Association ofBroadcasters (NAB) wants the(broadcast governing body)Federal CommunicationsCommission (FCC) and the USto propose the allocation of spec-trum space for digital audiobroad-casting (DAB) at the WorldAdministrative Radio Conferencein Spain next year.

In its comments, NAB told theFCC that L -band spectrum (1.5GHz) is "strongly preferred" forDAB because DAB use of S -bandspectrum (2.4 GHz, as urged bythe Bush Administration) "wouldsignificantly increase costs to

consumers, even to the extent thatthe DAB service might never beestablished at any time in the nearfuture." The NAB -supportedEureka -147 system requires useof the L -band spectrum.

NAB notes that it is not neces-sary for DAB to use the samespectrum in all parts of the world,so the support of the S -band forDAB by other regions should notinfluence what happens in theUS. NAB urged the FCC to ins-ure that any spectrum allocated atWARC for DAB be allocated on aco -primary basis for BSS (Sound)(radio via satellite) and terrestrialbroadcasting.

Meanwhile, NASA and Voiceof America have scheduled anOctober demonstration inWashington for satellite audiotransmissions to a moving vehi-cle. A van in the Washington areawill pick up a signal originatingin Connecticut, with the soundquality expected to be compara-ble to that of AM reception.

Latest Call -out TipsFor Radio

In a survey of stations which con-duct in-house telemarketingand/or call -out research, here aresome tips they shared on gettingbetter phone operator perfor-mance and incidence rates:

1. Always have a non -operatorsupervisor on hand to monitor allcall -out research.

2. Give cash bonuses or gifts tooperators who perform well whenrandomly monitored over an"eavesdropper" phone line. Somestations give up to $50 severaltimes per week to the operatorswho perform best.

3. Since many stations aredoing call -out and telemarketingto build new listener databasesfor mailings and other efforts, in-cidence rates are markedly higherfor stations that start their inter-view process by stating their callletters. Respondents are therebyencouraged that the call is not asales pitch to buy something, andmost are thrilled that they are he-aring from a radio station that ac-tually only wants their opinions.Courtesy of Radio Watch.

OFF THE RECORD

Sound Advice?

Having momentarily raised thehopes of bidders for the UK's inde-pendent national radio FM (INR1)license by announcing that the cashbid will be tax-deductible, the UKRadio Authority has promptly das-hed them again by telling them tobase their business plans onPhonographic PerformanceLtd.'s draft license. This incorpo-rates a sliding scale of paymentsfrom 5.5% to 20% of all "relevantrevenue" above £13.3 million.

The AIRC has already referredthe PPL's rates to the CopyrightTribunal and the successful INR1bidder would almost certainly fol-low suit. The Authority's instruc-tion is "a very unhelpful move,"according to one prospective bid-

der. "It makes it even more diffi-cult to make the INR1 operationviable."

Jackson Publishing DealFresh from his blockbuster dealwith Sony Software, MichaelJackson has inked a long-term ag-reement with MCA Publishing forthe worldwide administration ofhis ATV Music catalogue. ATVcontains 250 Beatles songs andsome of Little Richard's top hits.

On The Road With DCCPhilips and PolyGram execs aretaking their digital compact cas-sette (DCC) roadshow aroundEurope. UK record label execs anda few select retailers attended de-monstrations in London recently,where they were updated about the

DCC-and heard a prediction thatthe analog cassette will wind intooblivion by around the year 2007.DCC machines and softwareshould come to market in April1992.

Becker To WindhamProducer Walter Becker, whoserecent studio clients include RickieLee Jones, Michael Franks andformer Steely Dan partner DonaldFagen, has signed a long-term pro-duction agreement with WindhamHill Productions. He will deliverup to three albums annually for theWindham Hill Jazz label. WH/Europe GM Frank van Houtontells M&M that Becker's first pro-ject is saxophonist Bob Shep-pard's new recording Tell Tale

Signs, to be released this spring.

Sun And SkyrockSolar -powered radio? French EHRFM network Skyrock tried to findout recently when it swapped itsplush Paris studios to air for a dayfrom a solar energy centre in theCamargue.

Radio City(continues from page 1)

UBS Phillips & Drew finan-cial analyst Janet Robson saysRadio City has been a possiblebid target for some time. "Thecurrent economic circumstancesare helping a consolidation tofewer radio companies. Moremergers and takeovers are likelywithin the next year."

A City buyout would be thethird major deal in the UK overthe past two years. On March 4,Radio Clyde bought Radio Forthin a stock swap worth £6.32 mil-lion, while on September 8, 1990,Metro Radio acquired YorkshireRadio Network in a £13.5 mil-lion hostile takeover.

Trevor Morse, a consultant atBoyfield Morse & Letwin, saysdespite a drop in profits in thecompany's last results, City stilllooks healthy on paper.

"With pre-tax profits of 20%on turnover and net assets valuedat £1.5 million, the station has tobe worth something to one of the

bigger companies." For the fiscalyear ended September 30, 1990,City billed £4.15 million in ad re-venue and had cash flow (beforeIBA rentals) of £828.000.

A spokesperson at media com-pany Charles Barker City saysthe approach has more to do withthe recession than any futureradio strategy. "I don't think we'dsee a station like Radio City inthis situation if the market wasbuoyant.

"People have been saying thatthe market will be dominated bythree or four major radio compa-nies for several years but it hasn'thappened yet. I think there willbe companies owning a networkof overlapping stations togetherwith smaller independent stationsthat are run on a shoestring."

While mergers and acquisitionsin stations has heightened so-mewhat in the past two months,the wildcard in who emerges as aradio powerhouse is the RadioAuthority, which has said it plansto award 30 stations a year duringthe next 10 years.

Comments Bruce Fireman,

chairman of financial consultantsFireman Rose, "I don't think thisis the harbinger of anything parti-cular. Radio City has had man-agement problems and someoneclearly thinks it is worth buying.

"The important point is thatRadio City should not be regard-ed as a monopoly. Liverpoolcould have 10 or more stationswithin the next few years. Someof them will be "mama and papa"stations with very small resourcesand others will be part of a chain.That there are going to be a lotmore stations around and it willbe impossible for one or twocompanies to control the market."

Adds UBS Phillips & Drew'sRobson, "The problem in the UKradio market is that you can neverdiscount the personality factor.

Some of the people involvedhave been around for a long timenow and it will be interesting tosee how many of them survivethe changes that the industry isgoing through. I think there willbe fewer personalities in the fu-ture and more management indepth."

Mediametrie(continues from page 1)

Europe 1 and France Inter, withthe latest jump attributed prima-rily to extensive Gulf war cover-age.

Comments France Info spokes-person Pierre Alexandre, "Thiswas obviously an extraordinaryresult linked to the war. We can'texpect to keep all our new list -

ClarificationIn M&M's April 6 issue, Poly -Gram International marketingdirector Margarita Scheckelwould like to stress that the com-pany's ad deal with MTV Europewill not exclude campaigns forAnglo/American acts, and thatthe company will be doing cam-paigns for selected artists irre-spective of nationality.

Also, in the April 13. issue,FNAC hopes to achieve a 5%market share in France withinfive years.

eners--the station is certain to fallback in the next poll --but some ofthem will become loyal to us. Thisis an excellent boost to us at a cm-cial period of our consolidation."

At NRJ's sales house, Regie 15-34, director of marketing Jean -Yves Grangier says he is not wor-ried at being overtaken by FranceInfo. "This is a temporary pheno-menon. I don't think anyone couldsay otherwise. France Info hasdone very well in a period whennews was a prime audience need,and has improved its image as aresult. NRJ hasn't suffered; ouraudience is still rising.

"I think these results show thestrength of specialist FM stations--that the all -news format has bene-fited more than the generalist AMservices."

The Mediametrie sweep showsmost AM stations, which also em-phasised news coverage duringthe war, did gain over the previousbook --Europe 1 up 0.7% to12.8%, France Inter up 0.4% to12.0%, RMC up 0.4% to 5.6%.

The exception is RTL, which, de-spite a minor slip to 20.1% (from20.5%), remains France's leadingstation.

Radio's overall reach during thefirst quarter showed a healthy2.6% increase, to 79.0% (34.76million listeners), probably alsoattributable to the war.

There was less movementamong the music FMs, with thebiggest gain by Fun Radio's0.4%, bringing its reach to 4.0%,while Skyrock climbed 0.3% to5.6%. Nostalgie's 0.2% loss tookits reach to 4.0%, and RFM isdown 0.4% to 1.8%, but Europe2 suffered the heaviest, off 0.8%to 5.0%.

Comments Europe 2 GMMartin Brisac, "All the adult FMformats were affected by the war,in a way that the youth stationsweren't. Our audience of middleclass and professional 25-34s, areexactly the kind who turn to newsstations and TV in a big way attimes like this. We're disappoin-ted, but we don't see this lasting."

NAB(continues from page 1)

"European Media InvestmentsAnd Opportunities", both execu-tives were pleased with their ownexperience in shared ownership --a relatively unfamiliar concept inAmerican radio.

When asked to discuss the roleof a partner or local Europeanasset, Stoner said, " One of thethings we haven't done as well inthe US --it's been sort of a JohnWayne 'we're going to do it our-selves' approach-is to thinkabout the kind of relationshipsthat have existed in Europe be-tween companies and betweencountries. We really have tospend more time sorting out theobjectives and motivations of thevarious partners.

Stoner's company has a 7.8%stake in Newcastle -based MetroRadio Group, which owns oneAM and five FM stations.

He continued, "For example, inone potential situation inGermany, the partner we weregoing to have was really interes-ted not so much in making moneyas in making a personal politicalstatement. You can run into thatsituation when you take a lesserposition in terms of ownership."

Agreed Graves, who is lookingto broaden Group W's Europeanholdings (M&M April 27), "Oneof the first things that strikes youwhen you begin to do business inEurope is that no one owns all ofanything; they practise what I callcorporate socialism. So you haveto be prepared to do business theway they do. Part of that is ha-ving good partners. Another partmight be taking a piece of some-thing else-maybe buying some-thing you don't even want, inorder to be part of a partnership."

Classifying its involvement asa "learning experience", GroupW holds a 10% stake in JazzFM/London, a company selectedfrom many prospective partners."We visited with a large numberof potential applicants who ap-plied for the incremental fran-chise," said Graves, "and narro-wed it down to a few people whowe felt had a good chance of win-

ning for political and program-ming reasons, and whom wethought we could partner withfrom a corporate culture point ofview."

Annapolis, MD -based SBS setup specific parameters in its part-nership profile. Said Stoner, "Welooked for someone with similarviews, values, style, and one whoapproached business the sameway (as us) because we werelooking at a long-term relations-hip. We also needed someonewho would be a medium-sizedcompany with whom our bankswould be comfortable. We lookedat 20 companies or opportunitiesin five countries and finally set-tled after an 18 -month period on arelationship with Metro."

Graves emphasised, "Politicalconnections are totally importantin looking for a partnership. Youquickly understand that there aresome people who can influencethe outcome of events, and somepeople who can't."

Stoner is also sensitive to poli-tical considerations. "There aresome horror stories. A friend ofmine ran a station in SouthernFrance and ended up with histransmitter in the policestation...there can be problems!Graves acknowledged, "Withonly 10%, we didn't have any ma-nagement say or controlling inte-rest in how they went about it.We advised as best we could, andwe've certainly learned a lotabout UK radio. It's a very differ-ent environment to work in."

When asked to forecast if the1992 EC developments wouldmake a difference for Americansinterested in European radio own-ership, Stoner predicted, "Thereal opportunity for all of broad-casting is what's happening to theadvertising market. As brandnames are rolled across all thesecountries-e.g., establishing aPortuguese brand in Germany andvice versa-there's going to be anastronomical growth in adverti-sing. There already has been. It'sgrowing much faster than the US,and after this (European)
