Metro Prolongs Hostile Bid For YRNMichael Malicit, chairman of theUK's Yorkshire Radio Network(YRN), says rival broadcasterMetro Radio has been stripped ofone of the main sticks it had beenusing to beat YRN shareholdersduring its current takeover bid.

The Newcastle -based grouphad claimed YRN was "badlymanaged", but with 98.8% ofshareholders declining Metreslatest offer when it closed onAugust 24, Mallett argues his"successful management style hasbeen vindicated".

But Metro has decided to keepits takeover attempt alive for afurther fortnight, even though thestation is close to agreeing mergerterms with Owen Oyston'sTrarsworld Communications.Metro MD Neil Robinson says heis confident that by keeping theoffer open until September 7, andwithout improving the cashavailable, he will attract another49% of YRN shareholders.

Mallet says the extended offer"does not stand a cat in hell'schance, unless there is something Iam missing".

Commenting on Metro attrac-ting only 1.2% of YRN share-holders to date Robinson claimsthe low acceptance "did not causeus any concern at all. Let us waitand see what effect another fort-night has!' The thrust of thehostile takeover now seems likelyto centre on programming quality.

Robinson admits that of the

1.2% of YRN shares Metro hasgathered, the company alreadyowned 0.75% "about 75.000shams". He was unwilling to say ifindividual large shareholders willbe targetted.

Mallett, though, remainscritical of Metro. "I just wish theywould go away. I would cake ex-actly the same vary on Metrowhether or not we were talking toTransworld. We see no logic in alink between the two businesses.Our transmission areas have us asneighbours, but with 120 miles ofnothing in between. I see no com-mercial advantage'

Talking about the the latest de-velopments with Owen Oyston,Mallett says: "Our respectiveboards agreed to merge threeyears ago. The IndependentBroadcasting Authority tamed itdown saying they could see nocommercial imperative!' Oyston

and Mallett will become jointchairmen if their deal is finallyapproved.

"The broadcasting bill has nowchanged ownership shape. I harebeen talking with Oyston since thebeginning of the year. The mainadvantage of a YRN/Transworldmerger would be the addition ofPennine Radio in Bradford to theYRN network!'

The AM set-up is less clear. "Ifeel I could possibly teach Oystana thing or two about successfulAM broadcasting;' says Mallen,citing the success of Classic Gold.Transworld's stations do not havea common AM link.

The two suitors already have ajoint commercial interest in RadioRadio, the overnight FM sustain-ing service, with YRN holding26% of shams and larnsworld31%.

and artists. Bigot: "We will have apolicy of quality and diversity,which will be more artist andalbum -oriented than in the past.

"Record companies say theycan't develop artists' careersbecause of the dictatorship of thetop 50 and the lack of album -oriented stations. Meanwhile,they push singles instead ofalbums. Despite this, we want tobuild a good partnership withrecord companies!'

Bigot will continue to presenttwo weekly programmes, bath onFridays. The first, at 17.00-18.00,is 'France Interview' and will bebased on interviews with guest ar-tists by different journalists. Theother is called 'Stop 50' and isaired at 21.00-22.30. It is co -

hosted by Liberation journalistLaurence Romance and willfeature reviews of new releases.

Bigot has been joined atFrance -Inter by Bernard Lenoir,who hosted the daily rockoriented 21.00-22.30 slot onEurope 1. He terminated his rela-tionship with Europe 1 abruptly,when the station allegedly cancell-ed its sponsorship of the In-rockuptibles music festival, whichhe has close links with.

Lenoir, who is often referred toas "the French John Peel", willretain the same time slot at

France -Inter, from Monday toThursday. Lenoir worked atFrance -Inter in the 70s, beforemoving to FM station Kiss FMand then Europe 1.

Europe 1 programme directorPatrice Blanc-Francard says thedepartures will not destabilise thestation's programming: "Thereare enough resources at Europe 1to fill the gaps. Bigot has accepteda position that is a promotion forhim and I wish him well, but hewill be missed at Europe C'

However, Blanc-Francard sayshe was surprised by Lovoir's de-parture and claims that he learnedabout it only when he called thestudio where Lenoir was honinghis show. "If Lenoir didn't likeworking at Europe 1 then it wasnatural for him to leave. I justregret the method!' Blanc-Francard worked at France -Interwith Lenoir in the late 60s andhired him to work at Europe 1.

Due to the departures, EricLaccueille now hosts the chartshow 'Las Decouvertes Du Top50', which was presented by Bigot.Its time slot changes from Sundaymornings to 15.00718.00 everySaturday. Bigot's other show,which features music and sportand is also aired on Sundays, ispresented by DJ Yann Karig.Lenoir's slot will be taken over byhis former co -host Laurence Boc-colini, who now presents a newshow called `La Vie En Rock'. 0

Priority Acts Presented At CBS Conventionby Emmanuel Legrand

CBS France took the opportunityduring its annual convention heldin Pads August 24-25 to set up aninternational A&R meeting. Itspurpose, as explained by CBSpresident Henri de Bodinat, wasto improve communications bet-ween A&R departments.

Attending the meeting wereseveral A&R representatives in-cluding Evelyn Rinker (Ger-many), Gerard Rutte (Holland),Adrian Vogel (Spain), Gerald Ha -jar (Austria), Vito Luprano(Canada), Moshe Morad (Israel),Norman Block (Switzerland) andBert Clockaert (Belgium). Arepresentative from CBS UK wasinvited but did not come anabsence that was openly regrettedby the other participants.

Cracking the English-speaking

markets seemed to be a generalwish, but the lack of openness tonon-English material from theseterritories is a major concern toall, whereas pan-European linksare starting to produce results asmom and more products are pick-ed and released by local com-panies.

The meeting consisted of thepresentation of the top nationaland international priorities of thevarious CBS companies. Canadacame with two female acts:Nanette Workman (no. 1 inQuebec with Changementd'Adresse) and Celine Dion.

Dion is a French-speaking ar-tist trying for international suc-cess by aiming to cross over with anew LP sung in English. VitoLuprano: "We wanted to get into

Greek Stations AttackedOver RightsGreece's private radio and TV sta-tions have been attacked over theirrefusal to pay performance fees bythe International Confederationof Copyright Societies (CISAC).

CISAC accuses the majority ofstations of a "categoric refusal"to make copyright payments sincethey were licensed, and is en-couraging members to protest tothe Greek authorities.

Meanwhile, the Greek copy-right body, AEPI, has startedlegal action against stations whichit accuses of refusing to agree afair rate for music broadcasts."We couldn't agree on anything,to the point where we had to startpraceedingsr says AEPI legal ad-viser Peter Xanthopoulos.

"We want them to pay 4% oftheir advertising income, which isthe EC average though for thefirst two years they can pay thesame as national (ERT) radio andTV, 2.2%. The private stationsshould pay more, because ERThas different objectives, with pro-grammes that are not incomegenerating!'

He saw the row flared inMarch, when negotiations withprivate TV stations broke down,"because they considered theircontract prices too high". Beginn-ing with the radio stations ownedby groups controlling TV stations,they then began a campaignagainst the society, encouraging

Paymentseven stations which had alreadysigned contracts to rescind them.

None of the stations contactedby Music & Media would com-ment an the issue However,counter -proceedings against theAEPI, accusing it of seriousfinancial mismanagement, areunderstood to have been initiated.

A recently published auditor'sreport alleges that the AEPI haswithheld US$ 390.000 in rightspayments to foreign artists, whiledirectors have granted themselvesand others "closely connectedwith the company" personalloans from its funds, contrary toGreek corporate law. The AEPIhas also been accused of "falsify-ing real lroyalty returns... by taking

dvantage of the artists' igno-rance of tax and other matters!'

Private stations have been legalin Greece since the end of 1987,with one of the conditions ofauthorisation being that they wereat least 'in negotiation' over per-formance fees. However, of the600 or so to have opened, onlyabout 140 radio stations and noneof the seven TV channels have ac-tually bothered to register, claimsXanthopoulos.

Because none of the stations,even authorised ones, havepublished any financial results, itis impossible to determine howmuch their non-payment is

costing the society. 0

CBS Spain's Adrian Vogel wasparticularly keen to highlight hiscompany's signing of the UKband Immaculate Fools, claiming100.000 sales of their latestalbum, Another Man's World.

Spain, believes Vogel, is a sourcefor rich dance pickings with theRSP rap version of All Right Nowbeing among the best on offer.

Also very much dance orientedis the German market, accordingto Evelyn Junker: "About 6090 ofthe German charts are dancetracks, so our A&R strategy has toreflect this trend!'

CBS France's internationalpriorities, presented by interna-tional promotion head, AnnickGeisler, includes Patricia Kaas.Her LP, Scene de Vie, is alreadyplatinum in France and foreignsales are expected to be boosted bya European and Canadian tournow under way.

Other priorities for the com-pany are Frances Eurovision en-try, Joelle Ursull, with her newsingle Amazon, the AlainChamfort LP, Trouble and theOctober release of Dana Daw-son's new album, Paris, New York

Moi.Jean Karakos used the conven-

tion to thank CBS staffers "whohelped make Kaoma's World Beata success". Total sales of thealbum exceeded 4.1 million unitsworldwide An album of Kaoma'svarious remixes will be out soon.

Century 21 And TM MergeToms -based broadcast companiesCentury 21 Programming andTM Productions, whose jinglesand production services are usedon stations across Europe, havemerged. From now on the com-pany will trade under the titleCentury 21/TM.

Montreux Companies, an ad-visory company for the media andentertainment industries, was in-strumental in the merger. RobbEden, Montreux's UK -basedmanaging partner comments:"Both Century 21 and TM Pro-ductions are very well-knownnames in Europe and this is a veryprestigious deal to be involvedwith. It gives us an ideal platform

from which to launch our servicesinto the European broadcast in-dustry!'

Montreux, whose founder andsecond managing partner, PeterStromquist, is based in Dallas,recently initiated and assisted inUK group Zomba Music's ac-quisition of Firstcom, one of thelargest creators and distributorsof production music libraries inthe US.

Montreux has also applied tothe UK Radio Authority to runone of the three commercial na-tional radio stations. The com-pany filed a letter of intent withthe IBA last month. 0

In total, 'The Satellite Jukebox'aims to attract more than a

sponsorship and dance all night.In the UK, in co-ordination

with Sky Television and RadioRentals, each participating clubwill receive a "satellite partypack" consisting of a receiverdish and stereophonic highresolution monitors. In continen-tal Europe, separate arrangementsare being set up with local dishretailers.

'Get A Dish And Dance, pro-motions will be held at town cen-tre Radio Rentals' outlets. MTV'sCEO and MD Bill Roedy: "Theinteractive element of SatelliteJukebox that MTV is helping todevelop is a prime example of howthe channels, and their program-ming, are helping to drive dishsales!'

Challenge Group director ChrisLong sees the event as the firststep in a three-year programme to

develop a communications net-work serving young people inEurope: ''We am supplying theclubs with equipment. Once inplace this will provide us with theopportunity of exploring furtherinteractive fund-raising projects:'In the UK, Long is hopeful ofraising "up to f 1 million" to in-crease youth club resources andfacilities.

US. The lack of language barriersthere, the mom deeply ingrained'buying attitude' of the US publictowards music plus Europe'shigher prim levels will keep themahead for the near future!'

But working against these fac-tors, Ohayon believes that com-pared to Europe, the US has "avery insular attitude as regardsmusic and their charts and salesreflect that. Them is mom room inEurope for new product to enterthe charts. And the more choiceyou offer to the consumers themom consumers you may be ableto reach!'

Stuart Watson, VP of MCARecords International, also

predicts that Europe can surpassthe US in two years. While, ingeneral terms, the US shows lessvaried charts and mom conser-vative, though more plentifulradio, Watson observes that thesefactors "are not necessarilyobstacles to market growth".

Watson: "There am nowsophisticated promotional in-frastructures within most of themajor companies in the US, withclub promotion in particular farbetter developed. It means theyare not so dependent on radio asin previous years and are findingtheir way around it!'

Looking to Eastern Europe,Watson says the sensible approachto exploiting the new markets willbe long-term: "Our company's

philosophy is to invest promotiontime now. Kim Wilde, TransvisionVamp and Tiffany, for example,have played the Polish SOPOTfestival, which is broadcastthroughout Eastern Europe tomore than 100 million people Wedon't expect to see a pay-off im-mediately but this is importantgroundwork for the future'

He notes that the bulk of pro-duct selling in East Germany etpresent is budget and mid -pricealbums: "Companies such as

ours, with large back catalogues,can obviously take advantage ofthis. These are artists and albumsthat the East Germans may knowbut did not have access to firsttime around. And mid -price

material is more realistic for themeconomically!'

In terms of retail value, in 1989Europe built on its lead over theUS with IFPI reporting a billion -dollar plus European superiority(Europe US$ 7.632 billion, US$6.464 billion). But, according toTrish Heimers, a spokeswomanfor US industry body the Recor-ding Industry Association OfAmerica (RIAA), revenue com-parisons are invalid because pro-duct prices em far higher inEurope In the US, cassettes,

which carry the lion's share (60.7o)

of the market, are priced at US$7-8 per unit compared to anaverage US$ 12-13 in Europe, andCDs cost US $12-13 per unit com-pared to US$ 18-19.

Helmets: "When I was in Lon-

don recently I was appalled at theprice differences. The British empaying twice es much for theirmusical product as the averageAmerican:' She adds thatEurope's improved parity with theUS is "a natural development asthe markets there free up. Thepopulation as a whole is far largerand there is a greater variety ofproduct to choose from:'

In terms of total unit shipmentsthe US market showed a 5% in-crease in 1989 to 800.7 millionunits, against an 8% increase in1988. Helmets: "The slip ingrowth does not concern us

because 1988 was an exceptionalyear. The market has been af-fected by a shift in format choice(CDs were up 38.42%, vinyl LPsand EPs down 44.22%) and lastyear there was no real mega -hitlike a Thriller or a Born In TheUSA, which can really make orbreak a year. Nevertheless, the Plaremains a very healthy rate ofgrowth!' 0

Contrary to the story whichappeared in Music & Media('German Privates Suffer Set-back', August 4), the totalAGMA accumulated reach forboth ARD and private stationswas 87.3% (42.77 million).The total reach of all privateradios is 30.4% (14.90 million),the total reach for ARD sta-tions with advertising is 82.0%(40.20 million).

New USConsultant

Targets Europeby Paul Andre.

A new US radio consultancy hasbeen formed specifically to adviseEuropean stations. Radio ServicesInternational (RSI) is already ad-vising Birmingham incrementalBuzz FM, and claims to be infinal negotiations with other UKstations. In the future, it plans toextend its activities to other Euro-pean countries.

RSI founder Terry Hickmancites as his goal "to help radio sta-tions develop a compedtive ad-vantage by showing them how tomaximise their people, theirpotential and their profits!'Among services offered by thefirm are format design, training,marketing and promotions deve-lopment, including advice on acmining jingles and musklibraries, and even logo design.

"We'll help broadcasters deve-lop a product oriented to audienceneeds;' says Hickman, "form amarketing organisation that canbring the product in contact withpotential listeners and develop amarketing plan that identifiesstrategies and responsibilities forimplementing action plans thatwill achieve desired results!'

Hickman, who is based in Au-stin, Texas, claims 17 years expe-rience in US radio managementand programming at every level.

TALKBACK

"They Just Find The Prospects Exciting"Investing in European radio - a US media broker's perspectiveDallas -based media

brokerage Montreux hasits eye firmly on Europe.

The company's currentprojects include a

proposed merger of twoEuropean broadcast

hardware companies,various US investments

into European mediagroups and, back the

other way, investment bya European broadcasterinto an American radio

network. For, as founderPeter Stromquist told

Chris Fuller, mediainvestment is atwo way street.

Q: What has trading been like todate?

A: It has surprised me. When Ifirst started forecasting I thoughtthe bulk of my activity would berepresenting US companies in-terested in doing deals in Europe.Actually the reverse turned out tobe true. Europeans, and especiallythe British, turned out to be thefirst clients and the most in-terested.

Most of our activity has beenrepresenting UK companies in-terested in investing in the broad-casting and related industries inthe US, but we have actuallyworked on some station situationsin Europe and tried to get USbroadcasters interested in makinginvestments there. The last six

months, things have started tochange. There have been moreand mom calls from US broad-casters and we have been holdingmini -seminars for US groups onwhat opportunities am availableAnd the National Association ofBroadcasters (NAB) have hadspecial segments and panels on in-ternational mdio and television attheir conventions.

Q: Are most of the large USbroadcasters now convinced themare opportunities in Europe?A: I can only speak about thefirms that I deal with; overall theanswer is yes, there seems to be aconsiderable interest to partici-pate Ban of our largest compa-nies - Group W (10% in London'sJazz FM) and Emmis (1507o inParis station Maxximum) - havealready taken steps to do so.

Q: What do you think are theultimate goals of US companiesinvesting in Europe?A: Their timetables, as far as I cansee, are very cautious. While thelevel of interest is very high, manyseem to be taking a 'wait and see'attitude. Perhaps the Group Wand Emmis deals will change this,perhaps not. One thing I find veryinteresting, every group that I talkto has a definite idea of wherethey want to be and what theywant to do and the goals are asdiverse as can be imagined. I

don't think any of them have along-range goal of dominatingany segment, they just find theprospects excelling, as I do.

(I: Do you favour a reciprocalinvestment in US radio by non -nationals?A: I'm sure this question will be ahot topic for debate oral the next

five years. Personally, I am verymuch in favour of opening ourborders to foreign investment inour media. First, I would hope itwould lead to similar, reciprocalagreements in other countries,creating new opportunities forour media owners. Secondly, ouruniverse of players in the US is afinite group, more or less, andallowing outside investment is away to keep the market vibrantand growing.

Q: What fields within Europeanbroadcasting do you thinkprovide the greatest opportunityfor financial reward with USinvestors?

A: Oddly enough I don't think itis station ownership. The aspect Ihave been pitching in the US forthe past two years is the ancillaryservice opportunities. As Eu-

rope's private commercial broad-casting community has not beenthat widespread, naturally, thesupport services have not maturedeither. One simple example is

presenter training. This providespotentially fertile ground fortraining schools and other ser-vices, like consulting companies,promotion firms, format pro-viders, will follow.

Q: In what areas can Europe learnfrom US broadcast companies?A: On a practical standpoint, US

broadcasters, over the past 10

years with the availability of easyfinancing, have been burdenedwith horrendous loads of debt.The upside is that they have team-ed to operate their stations muchmore efficiently, and to maximiseevery position, every dollar. It's amassive generalisation, but mostof the stations I have looked at inEurope seem like they could sur-vive with 50-75% staff reductions,and could really benefit here from

uJ expertence.

The Americans will also be ableto assist in balding local, retailsales staffs, training those staffsand educating the retailers on theadvantages of radio advertising.

I strongly suspect that as com-mercial radio spreads across

Europe, other segments will sufferdramatically. Cinema advertising,for example, which never reallycaught on in the US, will probablybecome a dinosaur in Europe Asto the flow in the opposite direc-tion, I can think of a hundredareas we (the US broadcastingcommunity) can benefit from...hopefully we will not be too blindto see it when it is offered.

Q. Do you think the US has toomuch mdio? Do you see Europebecoming this way?A: The US is definitely over -radioed. Ask any operator and hewill tell you that in any givenmarket he could use two or threeless operators. And we were notcontent to leave well enough alone- we have now taken it uponourselves to move stations into themajor markets from a hundredmiles away. Subsequently, a

number of local markets havebeen left without local serviceThat's a shame. But I don't thinkEurope will follow this pattern.Even if the UK added, say, 500local stations, per capita they willstill have only 25% as many sta-riom as the US. In Europeeveryone should be able to suc-cessfully operate, provided theyuse common sense and am allow-ed to programme according totheir communities' desires, andmarket on She same basis. 0

UK & IRELANDStations Compete With Gold Sustaining Services

by Howard Shannon

Independent radio (1R) stations inthe UK yet to split frequencies arebeing wooed by two IR com-panies offering overnight goldsustaining services.

Yorkshire Radio Network's(YEN) Classic Gold and ChilternRadio, through its Supergold pro-gramming, are pitching for con-tracts with the IR stations stillsimulcasting.

A third player, Capital Gold, isalso believed to be preparing tooffer its own oldies sustaining ser-vice The station's business

development director, RichardHurst, confirms that work is

being done on the concept."As for the outcome I have no

comment;' he says. Hurst says amajor consideration before goingahead is the possible damage inLondon of stripping out theCapital name

YRN MD Roger Brooks saysClassic Gold is primarily aimed atnew AM services. "But we intendalso to talk to stations currentlyunhappy at the way its split ser-vices may be operating:' No sta-tions have yet signed up withYRN.

Chiltern's MD, Colin Mason,has already agreed a deal. Whiledeclining to name the station, heclaims crucial to signing has hisstation's use of the US computersystem DCS. It does away with theneed for tape and carts by puttingeverything on hard disc

The unnamed IR station, which

is expected to split in April nextyear, has invested £20.000 in itsown DCS in readiness for theChiltern feed. Mason has alsoconverted his Chiltern Hot FMnetwork to the system.

Brooks is pinning his syndica-tion hopes on stations "being able

to share in the huge success ourgold format has proved to be". Headds that YRN is willing to letanyone use the name ClassicGold, in effect franchising it. Thecompany will also offermarketing support.

Both stations intend to deliver

the sustaining services by landlineand satellite and offer windowsfor local advertising, news ofregional events and traffic reports.

The UK government has madeit clear to radio still simulcastingon AM that they must use it orlose it.

MEDIA Gong Heads Bavarian Sales Driveby Paul Andrews

The Gong group is heading a newadvertising sales drive for localstations in Bavaria. Most of thestate's locals, including the Gongand Charivari group stations,have joined the scheme, which isdesigned to make local radio morecompetitive with the statewide

Antenne Bayern and BayerischerRundfunk (BR) services.

Ulie Klef, head of radio ac-tivities at the Gong group, believesagencies will be able to reach up to90% of the region's local radiolistenership through the plan. Shedifferent packages offer adver-tisers access to stations accordingto format, area or market size.

The scheme implies the effec-tive merger of several of Bavaria'slargest sales houses, includingGong Funkpaket and Radio Rom-bi Charivari Sound, fromJanuary. Although it has not yetcompleted signing up stations, thegroup is due to start approachingagencies this week.

Klef: "We already have all thebig local stations and most of thesmaller ones. We are now com-petitive in price and audience withBR and Antenna Bayern - and wehave a lot more listeners in thebig cities than Antenne Bayern!'

Smaller stations have had trou-ble attracting regional and na-tional advertising, even throughregional sales houses. Klef nowbelieves that to cover all stationsmay cost advertising agencies as

little as DM 30 per second (app.USA 19), compared with DM 150currently.

But Klef does not believe it willsolve the financial problems fac-ing Bavarian local radios. "Theirproblem is not agency advertising,it is their small coverage areas and

the lack of local advertising. Itstill represents 80.85% of incomeat smaller stations and 60-70% atthe bigger outlets!'

Meanwhile, Gong - togetherwith Charivari and mbt (a consor-tium of regional press groups) -has submitted an outline for anew sustaining service for localstations in Bavaria to the statemedia licensing authority, BLM.

The project calls for two sta-tions for locals to choose between,one CHR based, the other MOR.They would replace the currentservice, Sat 2000, which closes onSeptember 30. The new serviceswould be supplied free, whereasSat 2000 (in which mbt is a part-ner) charges around DM 100.000annually to relay its programme.

However, Klef stresses that theproposal is tentative "Gong wasasked by the BLM to invest in Sat2000, but we said no - it was notsuccessful, nobody wanted to buythe programmes, and we couldn'tuse its easy listening programmeson our stations. So they asked uswhat we would do if we could!'

Klef condemns the BLM forpublishing the submission as a

definite proposal. "All we saidwas we would like to talk about it.Gong, Charivari and mbt stillhave very different ideas - we haveto talk first, so I don't think wecould start this year!'

Since the service would be sup-plied free, Gong also insists thatthe BLM should underwrite it.Klef refuses to cite the amount

demanded, but a figure of DM 5.6million has been reported by theMunich press,

However, publicity officerMonika Fen& is adamant that"the BLM will not be investing inthe new stations". They wouldalso have to be approved by theauthority.

Thuernau and MacDonellreviewed 256 demos by interna-tional composers before choosing10 for the Lost Paradise album,which ranges from orchestral

The artists featured includeMacDonell, David Hanselmann(whose Go Gel The Cup went top10 in Germany) Dominoe singerberg Sieber, ex -Kara singer LutzSalzwedel, John Lawton (UriahHeep, ZAR), Ina Lippmann(Queen Of Spades), Mery Spence(Mike Oldfield, Wishbone Ash),Maggie Reilly, Mike Oldfield andthe Austrian Christian Kolono-sits

The album was recorded invarious studios by the cream ofGerman producers, includingKolonovits, Armand Volker,Lothar Krell, Henry Staroste,

Harald Steinhauer and HaroldFaltermeyer.

Dino A&R manager MikeUngefehr says over DM 1 million

has been earmarked for promo-tion and marketing. In addition,the organisation Artists UnitedFor Nature will promote thealbum, which focuses on en-vironmental problems.

MacDonell: "This album is thebest way we, as musicians, couldreach people. After all, changescomes from people, not politi-cians!' Thuernau adds: "We wantto mach people who might other-wise not think about the problemsfacing us and our environment!'

The album features the singletimely Is The Night, sung by LutzSalzwedel and produced by

Lothar Krell. The song focuses onthe plight of whales.

Negotiations are under way tohave the album, which is publish-ed by Mambo Music in Munich,released in other territories. D

watts and to extend the Hofantenna from 37 to 78 metres.

By the time the application isjudged, the two Germanies will bereunited. Listeners in the Flammregion, close to Hof but currentlyin the East, could represent asubstantial new market for adver-tisers. According to Euroherz,it and Hof s other local station,extra Radio, with whom its

frequency is shared, alreadyhave some 50.000 listenersaged 14 -plus in the East, ofwhom 6K0 tune in every day.

The power increase would im-prove their reception of the sta-tion, and it is hoped that morewould then become regularlisteners. MD Heinz Zrenner seesthe extra listeners as "an impor-tant expansion of our scope. For acommercial enterprise, the poten-tial cross -border listenership is

surely a valid means to attract ex-tra advertising".

Although Euroherz showed arespectable 19% daily reach in itscurrent catchment area in the

latest Bavarian ratings survey'

(Funkanalyse Bayern 1990), manysmall private stations in the regionare having trouble reaching largeenough audiences to attract suffi-cient ad revenue.

Paris Rock Station Seeks Financial PartnerFinancial partners are beingsought by KWFM, a radio stationin the south of Paris which hopesto eventually gain a frequencycovering the whole city.

KWFM airs only rock musicand is strongly influenced by USalbum -oriented formats. Stationhead Jean -Eric Henley says thedecision to seek new investmentfollows the Mediametrie audiencefigures for April -June, which sawKWFM score a rating of 0.1%throughout Paris, even though itcan only be received in a smallarea in the south and was notregistered with the poll organi-sation.

Henley explains: "We startedbroadcasting in September 1989and we gave ourselves 10 monthsto prate that 100% rock is a viableformat which could And an au-dience The Mediametrie figuresshowed that we were right.

"Now that we have reached ourpotential in our current broad-casting area, we want to extend

by Emmanuel Legrand

our audience base Once we find apartner, we will apply for a Parisfrequency but until then the sta-tion is on standby, airing only ataped programme and jingles!'

KWFM's format is based onHenley's study of US radio, whichfocused on WPLJ in New York,K101 in San Francisco and KIISFM in Los Angeles. It consists ofrock from the 70s to 1990 with a50-50 split between gold recordsand new releases. Programming ishandled by a manual system butthe acquisition of the Selectorsoftware is being considered.

Artists featured range fromChristopher Cross to Guns N'Roses, with 40% of acts being USor Canadian, 30% British, 15%Australian and 15% from the restof Europe Few French tracks areplayed because "there are fewFrench acts that play the style ofmusic we need".

Henley says he will approach avariety of companies, ranginghorn record companies to finan-

cial groups, in a bid to fmd abacker. He adds that the station'sformat is cheap to operate, at Ffr

Canal Plus TurnoverReaches Ffr 4.8 BillionFrench subscription TV channelCanal Plus says its turnoverin 1989 reached Ffr 4.88

billion (app. US$ 920 million),making it one of the largestcommunications companies inFrance. Gross profits for theperiod were Ffr 1.6 billion, withnet profits at Ffr 768 million.

Canal Plus has 2.87 millionsubscribers paying Ffr 160 a

month for the service Its pro-gramming is dominated by films(365 a year, of which 50% areFrench), but also includes sportsshows, documentaries, children's

programme and music The

channel broadcasts France's of-ficial Top 50 chart, which is itshighest rated show. '

1989 was a turning point inCanal Plus's expansion. Havingreached almost its total potentialin France, the channel exported itsconcept to other territories,through joint ventures, to Spain,Belgium, Germany, and Africa.

Canal Plus also owns a minori-ty share of 12.5% in VirginMegastore's capital in France,

which was acquired for an initialinvestment of Ffr 10 million.

SER ContinuesRatings Domination

by James Bourne

Results of the second wave ofSpain's EGM media audiencesurvey for 1990, undertaken bet-ween May and July, show few realchanges in national radio listeninghabits.

SER's Los 40 Principales is stillthe country's most listened to sta-tion with the SER AM serviceproving second best. State AMnews channel RNE 1 loses thirdspot in the ratings to FM sports/news/music station Antena 3.

The most listened to pm -gramme in Spain is SER's AMmorning show 'Hoy Por Hoy', at-tracting 1.1 million listenersfollowed by Cope's 'Protagoni-stas' with 1.04 million tuning in.

The ECM figures for Madridhave once again provoked con-troversy with erratic swings being

recorded. Carlos Finely, pro-gramme director at Radio Popu-lar Cadena is one of those mostcritical of Spain's leading ratingsservice, "My station has risen by10.0001isteners to 35.000 but I stilldo not think the service is anygood or has much credibility!'

Radio Minuto, RNE 4, Radio16, Onda Madrid and RadioEspana AM were all shown in thesurvey to have suffered a dramaticdecline in listeners, some as highas 50%. Further concern wasgenerated by the 55.000 listener -ship figure attributed to RadioOeste, which broadcasts to asuburb of Madrid. Finely claimsthis is demographically impossi-ble and says that the EGM figurescan only be relied on when thetotal audience exceeds 100.000. C

Private TV Set For PortugalThe law paving the way for privateTV in Portugal was approved bypresident Mario Soarer on August23. In a move aimed at restrictingforeign control of companies, thelegislation will limit singleshareholdings to a maximum of2577o, similar to misting mediaownership restrictions in Spain.The law also stipulates that com-panies seeking an investmentmust have minimum capital ofUS$ 17 million.

The licences will be awarded bya special commission chaired by amagistrate and made up ofgovernment appointees and repre-sentatives of the main politicalparties. Concessions will be validfor 15 years and on of outputmust be in Portuguese. The lawalso proposes two hours per dayof programmes by the CatholicChurch on state -run Portuguese

TV. The Church is currently seek-ing its own channel and is ex-

pected to bid for one of the newfranchises.

Other contenders for the con-cessions include daily newspaperCorreia da Manha, the weeklyExpresso and the Sonar group ofpublishers. Sonar is the only oneof the groups which is quoted onthe stockmarket and its presidentBelmiro Azevedo recently said hewould not apply fora TV licencefollowing arguments over radioconcessions.

"But what he says today mightnot be what he does tomorrow!'believes one Lisbon stockbrokerwho warns that the allocations offranchises for the new channelswill be a highly contentiouspolitical affair if the role modelset by recent radio awards is an in-dication of what's to come. 0

Mixed Response ToNew StationsThe launch of two new Scandina-vian satellite -to -cable radio ser-vices, The Voice Of Scandinaviaand RTL International, has metwith a mixed response from theregion's record companies (M&MSeptember I). Firms are stilluncertain how, or whether, thenew cross -border stations will af-fect them.

Seem Denmark MD CaiLehner welcomes the outlets andexpects more examples of pan -Scandinavian broadcasting in thefuture. ''It is to be expected thatScandinavia is seen as one area,and it is a good way for us to sur-vive - as one strong single marketrather than four, divided andweak.

"The accessibility and penetra-tion of domestic Scandinavianacts into the different markets willbe greater. It will make us less like-ly to accept something second-rate from England over a top -rateScandinavian act:' However, hebelieves RTL's decision to play on-ly a small proportion of Scan-dinavian music could mean "itbecomes just mother station".

Jonas Sjoestrom, MD ofSwedish independent MNW, saysthat despite the local radio explo-sion in Sweden, the stations have

had little impact on sales, and hebelieves the two new cable servicesmay also have little effect. "Thepan -Scandinavian notion is agood idea, but they need to havethe money to market it properly.But if they're professional, thenthey will have an impact!'

WEA Denmark MD FinnWork comments: "If The Voicegoes the way it did in Copenhagenand catches a young audience, itwill have a very definite impact.And it could have a tremendouseffect on the ability of domesticacts to cross borders.

"But RTL may run into troubleif it doesn't keep a close eye onwhat is happening in Scandinaviaand cater to that market. The daysare gone when people used to tuneinto Radio Luxembourg to knowwhat was happening. The com-petition here now is m strong asanywhere. People are more inclin-ed to listen if they feel there is alocal touch:'

EMI Sweden MD Rolf Nygrendoes not expect much from thenew outlets. "My feeling is thatthere are too many satellite ser-vices. At the moment, the onlythings that make any real impactare the press and, perhaps, MTV!'

Nova Wins Political SupportThree of Sweden's oppositionparties are demanding a change inthe country's media law, as thecontroversy over Radio No.'sdecision to illegally air advertisingcontinues (M&M August 18).

In a letter sent to prime mini-ster Ingvar Carlsson, a call for"free radio and TV" was Made bythe media spokesmen from theModeraterna party (AndersBjoerk), the Folkepartiet (Jan -Erik Wigstrom) and the CentreParty (Olaf Johansson).

The three say that imprison-ment for broadcasting radioadvertising contradicts the Swe-dish constitution and the Euro-pean Declaration of HumanRights. Bjoerk, who drafted theletter, was president of the Euro-pean Human Rights Conardssionfor three years.

The letter also calls for an im-mediate government investigationof the media laws.

A spokesman for cultureminister Bengt loeransson sapthe question of Nova and radioadvertising will be debated, butnot at the Social Democrats con-gress next week. He says he is sur-prised that Wigstrom was asignatory to the letter, because heem the minister who signed thelegislation to introduce the localNaerradio' stations in their cur-rent form in 1982.

Claes Nydaltl, Nova's MD, seesthe support from the threepolitical parties as a majordevelopment in the station's battleto be allowed to air ads.

The station still plans to goahead with its action in the Euro-pean Court in Strasbourg, follow-ing two unsuccessful appealsagainst the suspension, by thelocal radio governing body Naer-radionamnden, of two of its eightfinancial backers. One of the twois the Moderaterna political party

Radio On Show At Firatoby Paul Andrews

Radio took a high profile at Am-sterdam's biennial Firato consu-mer electronics show, which washeld at the RAI exhibition centreon August 22 to September I.

Among the exhibitors wereDutch public broadcaster TROS,which set up full studio facilitiesand broadcast 40 hours of pro-gramming live from the event.

Also on -air from Firato was ex-perimental station Radio Data,which gave 20 young Dutchbroadcasters a chance to demon-strate their talent (MUM August4). Ttansinitting around the clockon local FM and cable frmmen-cies, the youngsters devised a'horizontal' daytime format of-fering broad -based music plus in-formation, with personal showsovernight.

The presenters, most of whomhad some experience in local or

hospital radio, received five daysintensive training in radio techni-ques prior to Firato. As well asprogramming and hosting shows,they carried out news -gatheringand technical and administrativeWork on the station, which wassponsored by public broadcastersNOS, VARA, NCRV and KRO.

Radio Data also supplied regu-lar information services via RDS(Radio Data System), includingtraffic and weather reports, newsand competitions.

Radio technology was promi-nent, too, among hardware m-hibitors. Car radios incorporatingRDS reception were demonstratedby a number of manufacturers,including Blaupunkt. Amongother innovations were DigitalSatellite Radio (DSR) hardware,notably from Sony and Philips. 7

Sinead O'Connor and Mecanotopped the FNAC singles chartbefore they reached no. 1 in theIFPI chart.

The 'Top 50', which is hostedby Jean Paul Pessemier, has beenvery successful and we have nowextended it by 10 minutes. Theshow is broadcast live at18.20-18.50 daily and unlike mostof our programmes, it is notscrambled and can be receivedwithout a decoded'

Pmseaner also presents the50 -minute 'Top Album' which ispre-recorded and broadcast everySaturday. Like 'Top 50', it can bereceived without a decoder.

Canal Plus was launched lastSeptember in the French-speakingpart of Belgium, and has no pro-gramming link with France'sCanal Plus. "We have adoptedthe pay TV formula from CanalPlus France, but we have our ownprogramme,' says press officerPatrick Blockry.

The station has 28.000 subscri-bers but needs at least 70.000 tobreak even. However, it hopes aseries of promotion campaignswill result in the station having140.000 subscribers within fouryears.

Paradiso LaunchedA new label, called Paradiso, hasbeen launched in Belgium by CNR'sWalter ErNelt and Roland Uytdn-dada's Music Service. It plans torelease an average of 16 albums peryear and its first is a greatest hitscompilation by Helen Shapiro,released on September 7. A four -month advertising campaign onVTM will promote the album, withadvertising on RTL-TVi scheduledfor next year. Future releases on thelabel include albums by Joe Cocker,Ray Charles and Tot° Ctougno.

VTM Extends ScheduleFlemish commercial station VTMhas extended Its broadcasting timeThe outlet's afternoon schedulenow begins at 15.50, instead of17.00. Guido Depraetere, Presidentof production and programming,says VTM wants to further increaseits daytime programming in thefuture.

Third Time Lucky For Laser Disc?by Pad AlOrevv,

Laser Disc, the videodisc formal which hasconsistently failed to find a market in Europe,has been relaunched for the second time

Under the auspices of the European LaserDisc Association (ELDA), founded this Mayby seven hardware and software companies andnow numbering 18 members, a new marketingstrategy has been devised to promote bothplayers and discs across the Continent.

Initially, French, German and Dutch speak-ing countries will be targetted, with effortsmoving to the UK, Italy and Spain next year.Local committees will co-ordinate the effort ineach territory.

As part of the initiative, software companiesincluding Warner, PolyGram and RCA/Col-umbia have promised to release product on discat the same time as on tape and efforts will bemade to make both hardware and softwareavailable from the same retail outlets, and at af-fordable prices.

In the past, believes the association, lack ofsoftware support has held back Laser Disc inEurope In Japan and the US, where the formathas achieved greater commercial success - withone million and 400.000 players respectively inuse - software catalogues have become cor-respondingly extensive In Japan, over 9.000titles are available in the US over s.000. But inEurope, there are still only a few hundred, whileplayer sales remain in the tens of thousands.

ELDA chairman Patrick de Tourris blames avariety of factors. "There was limited discpressing capacity in the PAL [Europe's TVstandard) area, due to the more complicatedspecification of the PAL system. Furthermore,software was restricted to music tides.

Therefore, the number of tides we wantedavailable was not achieved. Additional pro-blems in Europe are caused by the difference inlanguages, culture and distribution networks!'

But behind amuses of 'cultural differences'and 'economies of scale has been a general in-ability among companies involved to form aunited front on strategy and promotion. Manysoftware firms have been umvilling to committhemselves to large-scale support for a productwhich consistendy failed to deliver returns.

The format now known as Laser Disc wasoriginally launched in Europe during the early1980s, as LaserVision. However, despite subjec-tive advantages such as better picture quality, it

failed to find a niche in a market alreadydominated by VCR technology.

Consumers did not take to a product whichcost as much as a VCR, yet offered less off -the -shelf software and lacked the convenience ofrecording. They were confused, too, by thestandards battle with RCA's incompatibleSdectavision technology -

Dormant for many yaw, the format wasrevived in 1988 as CD Video (CDV)-effectivelya CD -plus -pictures product Digital sound andCD compatibility were major new sellingpoints, with players designed to stack with hi-fiseparates and the bulk of discs music based.The result was expensive hardware that found a

limited market, mainly among audiophiles, but

littk broad appeal.According to Steve May, editor of UK con-

sumer magazine What Video, who has doselyfollowed the development of LaserVisn,"they made a terrible error in not making anymovies available They said people don't want

to watch fdms, which has been proveddramatically wrong with the incredible growthof sell -through video.

"It was all musk, and the music was in-variably out of date - there would be pop col-lections that were a year old, instead of anentsingles released with a CDV version. It didn'tcapture anybody's imagination!'

The new initiative may finally correct that.De Tourist "The software industry now plansto introduce major movie titles simultaneouslyon video tape and Laser Dise And RCA/Col-umbia and Warner have scheduled disc releasesof major product from their back catalogues.

But the music industry has also recommittalitself to laser Dire Peter 011iff, head ofPolyGram International's production and

technical services media division, is the in-dustry's repn.entative to ELDA. "There isnow support for the system from all the majormusic groups in the world"' he says. "We feelthe time is right for it, and our commitmentwill continue'

ELDA members now include BMG VideoInternational, EMI Classics, Warner Music In-ternational, Teldec Classics, Sony Classical and

Maxwell Communications, as well as

PolyGram.A predominance of classical releases reflects

both the interests of the ELDA members andLaser Disc's perceived appeal as top -end AVhardware. However, among rock and pop tidesthis year will be a number from PolyGram, in-cluding The Wall concert in Berlin, and com-pilations featuring Status Quo, Tears For Fears,

Yam, Elton John and Bon Jovi.ELDA also aims to promote 'effective

distribution channels' for Laser Disc - a primeobjective is to bring hardware and softwaretogether at the same point of sale Althoughalmost unheard of for any AV product, deTourris points to experience in France -the onlyEuropean market where videodisc has knownany success, "thanks to joint efforts byCBS/Fox, Warner, PolyGram and the hardwarecompanies" - as justification.

But has the new initiative come too late tosave LaserVision? Steve May doesn't think so -providing it is developed to its full potential."It's an aching format - far momsophisticated than just a film carria. Picturequality is excellent and sound superb, but youcan also take advantage of incredible still frame

and tat storage capacities"That's what they do in America - film discs

include pages of original scripts, critics' ap-praisals and on -set stills. But you need im-aginative programmers who are prepared to ac-tually work on disc, rather than just dubbingfrom tape'

FAST FORWARDCastle Music Pictures' new series of musicvideos, Live Legends, features new live recor-dings of bands which have retained a consis-tent following over the years. The first threetapes are devoted to The Buarcocks (CMP6C01), Uriah Heep (CMP 6002) and DrFeelgood (CMP 6003). Future releases willinclude Lindisfarne, Hawkwind, FairportConvention and Ten Years Aft.

SPOTLIGHTMEDIA Gianna Nannini - Still Breaking New Ground

by Robe, Lyng

Radio and TV have played a significant role in thedevelopment of Gianna Nannini's 14 year recordingcareer. They have provided her with a string of hitsingles, from 'America' to 'Un Estate Italian; and

have helped boost her albums to million -seller status.Robert Lyng talks to Nannini's manager, PeterZumsteg, about the way the media has helped

catapult the singer from the cafes of Milan to thelargest venues in Europe, and looks at the promotion

campaign for her new album, 'ficandalo'.

Gannai Nannini's firstbreakthrough camewith the hit single

America, which was from herthird album California, releasedin 1979. With the help of publicradio, the song was her first tocross over into West Germany andSwitzerland in 1980.

In 1982, the Cormy Plank -produced LP Latin Lover wentgold in both territories. It premie-red with a performance on theEurovision broadcast of WDR's`Rockpalasfi, which served tointroduce her to audiences acrossEurope.

Peter Zumsteg explains: "Pri-vate broadcasting had hardlydeveloped at the time Radioformats were still flexible and thepublic broadcasters had toconsider ethnic minorities in theirprogramming. Nannini, therefore,was particularly welcome''

The 30 -date tour of Germanywith rock star Udo Lindenbergwhich followed was vital because,as Zumsteg says, "it was the firsttime radio people had a chance to

see her live".Her next single, Foloromanza,

not only brought Austria into thefold but also became the single ofthe decade in Italy, selling 300.000units and putting Nannini at no. 1for two months. Then, in 1986,Nannini scored her first million -seller album, Profunto, whichfeatured the international hitsingles Profumo and Bello E

Zumsteg: "These hits establi-shed Nannini as a householdname at most European publicand private radio stations andopened the door for the single IMaschi, which became her firstreal European hit. It went to no. 1in Italy, Switzerland and Belgiumand reached no. 2 in Austria andSweden. The single also made thetop 10 in Germany and, for thefirst time, France!'

The pan-European success of IMaschi sae the single spendalmost one year in the EurochartHot 100 Singles, peaking at no.12.

With the release of Malafem-

SCANDALOGIANNA NANNINI

mina, Nannini toured Scandi-navia for the first time. Mean-while, the single Hey Blonde, herfourth consecutive no. tin Italy,was chosen as the theme song forTestivalbari, a major TV musicevent in Italy.

Now Zumsteg is concentratingon making Scandalo, the titletrack single from Nannini's newLP, her biggest hit yet. The albumwas released on August 27 onMetronome in the GAS territoriesand by various PolyGram labelsin the rest of Europe, with theexception of Italy, where it is onDischi Ricordi.

Co -producing the LP withDavid Allen (The Cure) in

London's RAK Studios, Nanninihas incorporated aural impres-sions collected in China, typicalItalian melodies, Arabic riffs anda touch of psychedelia in theframework of her muscular rock.

She was assisted by aninternational line-up includingGermany's Hans Baeaer (bass)and Ruediger Braune (drums),Chris Jarrett (guitar) and Andy

Wright (keyboards) from the UK,and Italian guitarist MarcoColombo.

Radio programmers through-out Europe have been sent apromotional five -track CD, whichincludes two mixes of Scandalo.The single is one of Nannini'sstrongest rock songs ever but,Zumsteg admits, "it may not fitcontemporary radio's narrowformats". A video for the trackwas shot in Poland by Tello'sDieter Meier.

The promotion campaignincludes 60 30 -second spots onMTV Europe, cinema advertising,and a 44 -date European tour fromOctober 11 to December 16, to besponsored by BASF.

Meanwhile, Fiori Del Veleno(The Poison Of Flowers), which isalso on the promotional CD, hasbeen chosen as the theme song forthe international TV co-production (RAI 2, WDR, FR 3,TV E) of JM Simmel's 'Dock MitDen Clowns Kommen Die

Traenere, which will be broadcastthis month.

t seems that the effects of theIGulf crisis are being felt

everywhere. Aside from rumoursabout vinyl going up in price, mydear friend Keith Belcher, the sta-tion Manager at London -wideSpectrum radio, is demanding anapology from a Kuwaiti news-paper. Arab hacks had claimedthat the exiled Kuwaiti royal fami-ly intended to use the station tobroadcast to their nationals in theUK.

BBC Radio I is geeing involvedas wee. Presenter Simon Bales isdoing his bit by relaying half anhour of his morning show viaBritish Forces Broadcasting to

UK troops in Saudi, carryingmessages from loved ones.

And afternoon presenter Steve

Wright has given up his hot seatand left for the US. It seemsWright's US wife has a brother inthe task force in Saudi Arabia andthe pair were waiting at the USfamily home for news.

Nevertheless, it's welcome toBBC Radio I, Man Enke. He'sthe station's newest reggae

presenter, and hes been workingon BBC local radio for five years.Controller Johnny Belding sayshe has "one of the most excitingnew voices I've heard in years".

And so to the anniversaries fornext week, and there are lots ofthem for September 9. Otis Red-ding would have been 49, BillyPreston will be 44 and EurythmicDave Stuart will be 38. It will alsobe 35 years since Elvis Presleymade his first appearance on the'Ed Sullivan Show, shown fromthe waist up, per forming Don't BeCrud and Ready Teddy. OnSeptember 101966, the Monkees'Iasi Train To Clarksville wasreleased, and two days later thefirst episode of their TV show wasbroadcast in the US.

Hello, Radio Hoorn, whichmust be one of the tiniest Dutchopt -outs there is. But little sta-

because it's collecting programmetapes from the 12 EC countriesand re -broadcasting them. Eat

your heart out, you multi-national syndicators!

My good friends at MTVEurope, who just happen to bestepping up then marketing part-nership with Pepsi in line with thesoft drink's firms sponsorship ofTina Turner's current Europeantour, tell me that Pepsi has beenassociated with music since 1939when it was the first product touse singing radio commercials.

heads of music. Mike Hollowayfrom Clyde I looks for thesounds that will appeal to theunder -35s while Mike Riddochwill look after the music for theClyde 2 audience We have alsojust installed Selector. Ourjingles are produced by MuffMurfin of Standard Sound Pro-ductions.

"Clyde is still very big onnews which has always been apart of our heritage When wecame on air there was no BBCRadio Scotland. We needed anidentity here and believed thatthe major key was news and in-formation. We have a full-timenewsroom staffed 24 hours aday by a total of 18 journalists.

We also have our own graduatetraining scheme We give the

news a feeling of coming fromthe west of Scotland so we do nottake IRN live but adapt theirmaterial with our own to give alocal mix.

"We do a lot of marketing andsponsorship. We are currentlysponsoring a show by youngmusicians. We also sponsor theGlasgow Philharmonic Or.chestra, and record and broad-cast their concerts. These aremainly popular classics and

music from shows. We have alsojust run a Young EU Of The Yearcompetition with f 1.000 of discoequipment as the prize The win-ner is currently practising and wehope to be able to train him andgive him his own slot

"As well as the Sunday after-noon 'Network Chart Show' wealso have the 'Benny BrownAmerican Countdown' show andhave been taking Unique's 'LALive show. We are currentlylooking at the possibility ofcreating a chart show for all of

the Scottish stations to reflect thetastes of the record buyers here.

"We enjoy a good relationshipwith the record companies andare well serviced by them. Likemany other stations we are look-ing to get more on CD than vinyland this is getting easier withmost of the companies,

"In the future we plan to con-solidate the separation of ourAM and FM services. Some 60%of the population in West CentralScotland is over 35 so we are very

strong in the 35-50 age group. Wewill gradually widen the gapthrough promotion which is thekey. It is extremely difficult topersuade an older listener to

change stations so we're chasingthm end of the spectrum throughconstant promotion to get themto try it. PR is important but pro-motion is the thing!" LI

Yet despite the dance wave, Rock 8. RHOnot lost ground here, as the Wannadieswith their latest album. Also check out theof Rote Ania. who could well become theAnita Baker in a couple of years.

PROGRAMMING

Dance - The Airplay Debate ContinuesThe European dance

explosion has now reacheda point where it dominatesthe charts as never before.

Gary Smith looks at howrecord companies have

been gearing up to keepdance music firmly at thetop, in terms of both sales

and airplay.

Ai, Europe's major com-panies have now set updance labels or, as in the

case of CBS Germany and its newDance Pool, created separate

A&R/marketing sections withintheir companies. Couple that withthe amount of new independent

trt.' ,Ferry Moot says the singles markt is

labels dealing exclusively with

dance music, and it seems thegenre is set to have a high profilefor some time to come.

Yet much mainstream radio isstill unwilling or unable to reflectthis situation with programmersclaiming the dance boom is merelya passing fad of too tildesubstance to warrant any signifi-cant airtime Of course the labelsinvolved in the dance scene

disagree but they do recognise thatwithout daytime airplay supportthey are missing out on a significant

proportion of their potential market."We don't play any dance,

because other people do!' So saysTrevor Dann, head of music atBBC local station GLR. "RadioLondon, our predecessor, majoredon dance when they weren't beinga serious talk station. I took theview that the market was ade-quately covered, both then andnow, with the arrival of Kiss FM.GLR is as identifiable by the factthat we don't play dance as KissFM will be by the fact that it does.All things to all men radio is athing of the past!'

Chart importance"We have major problems getting

radio play:' says Simon Dunmore,label manager at Cooltempo. "Itseems a big club record holds noweight with BBC Radio I orCapital. You can have an act makethe top 40 but the record is notplaylisted. Don't Miss The Par-tylint by Ehatinezz spent 10 weeksin the UK charts, reaching no. 7.But outside Jeff Young's Radio Idance show it gel only nine

daytime Radio I plays. It'spathetic!'

Yet the vast amount of highcharting dance records makes it

unavoidable that a fairly high

percentage of records will be

played on top 40 -based stations.Soren Berzon, product managerat PolyGram International: "It'sstill something of a problem butgenerally radio is getting morebroad-minded, especially towardsthe more ethnic dance numbers.You have to bear in mind that thesingles market is in decline andthese days a lot of territoriesregard them purely as promo.tional tools. That has an effect onthe way DJs perceive them as well!'

The bottom line in this debate ishove much the more general 'pop'oriented radio stations should

reflect the singles chart? FerryMaat, head of music at TROSradio in Holland: "The singlesmarket these days is so small thatkids dictate the chart. It's no

longer that important and that'swhy we don't play so much dancestuff.'

TROS does of course play

dance music in drive and daytimeprogramming but only if they areeither new entries or in the top 25of the Dutch singles chart. Thestation does, however, have a

dance music programme called'Dance hacks', the only show ofits kind in Holland. The show,broadcast every Thursday eveningfrom 19.W and 2I.W, is hosted byMartiM Krabbe and attracts au-diences of 250-350.000. "We try toplay only 12" singles, althoughthat depends on what is availableeach week:' says Krabbe. "But ourmain aim is to play dance hits twomonths before they hit the chartsand always to play new material!'

The show does not have any for-matas such, the general rule is thatthey play up -tempo tracks for thefirst half-hour and then break thatup with a ballad and some danceclassics. Krabbe admits to beingpleasantly surprised by the show'spopularity and he has firm opi-nions about why some people areso reticent to programme dancemusic: "There was a time whenrock was the most progressivething around but now dance is thenew progressive music. Some peo-

ple are bound to react againstthat:'

Radio play"Radio always seems to have aconvienient excuse" says Dun-more "It's too clubby, too fast,too slow, a cover version!' Yet at-

titudes vary from one territory toanother. Belgium has long been astronghold of dance music andGino Moerman, promotionmanager at ARS Records in Ant-werp, is well aware of the ability ofairplay to increase sales: "We gel a

lot of help, especially from theprivate stations. Radio Contact isvery into dance music and VTMmonitors what it plays so it's notlong before you are on the national

network. In the French-speakingsector, RTBF has several dance.shows and they are also very recep-tive.'

Tillman Uhrmacher is both a1/1 and a musician. He plays withGerman chart -topping group TheOmen and does a weekly show forRadio RPR in Mannheim called'Maximale'. The show runs forthree hours starting at 18.00 everySaturday and is sponsored by theWorld Of Music (WOM) chain ofrecord shop,

"We mainly play club musicfrom Cologne, Frankfurt and

Munich plus of course a few im-ports:' says Uhrmacher. "Wechoose the bulk of the materialfrom the new records each week.We only play 12"s and we don't doany talkover, I think that's very im-portant.

"Judging by the feedback fromour listeners they really like thefact that we play the whole recordand the DI doesn't talk over thetrack. We have competitionswhere listeners can win maxi.singles and each week we make a

mega -mix from a listener's threefavourite songs. There is definitelyan audience for this type of pro-gramming, I'm sure that if otherstations were prepared to take arisk they would find that it works!'

But apart from aiming forairplay, some labels concentrateon radio advertising. Brussels -

based Pima, has tan extensiveradio campaign for Patti BurnsAnd The News, with the Belgianarm of Fun Radio having an ex-clusive on the new single EveningNews for part of August, and a tic -

in with the national lottery, broad-cast on RTBF. Promax also cir-culated advance copies of themaxi -single to Belgium's majorclubs.

The newly launched Kiss FM isthe UK's first and only all dancemusic station. Kiss made its nameas a pirate station, playing non -

Targetting the DJBut with the huge volume ofreleases around, labels do have aproblem with largetting the DJwho is likely to play their product.Boris Loehe, head of EMI Elec-trola's dance division, has a

careful and methodical approachto marketing: "The first step is tomail out about 500 white label;Between 2.00-300 of those go toselected Ws, 100 to specialistdealers and the rest go to the radio

stations that have dance shows. Ialways play the track to an in-dependent distributor whose opi-nion I can trust.

however, prepared to do differentedits for different media: "Pro-ducers usually prepare three ver-sions - a main version, a radio ver-sion and an instrumental!'Together with distributor EMI,"we combine our marketingstrategies. Both of us decide which

Alternative marketingThere was a time when a DJ wouldwalk into a record shop and buy allthe dance 12"s on sale Now thenumber of records released makesthat impossible More and moreproduct has to fight for the

privilege of being part of a

dramatically shrinking market.

You can have a no. I single in theUK's Record Mirror dance chartand only sell 10.000 copies, A no. Iin the UK Gallup singles chart canbe yours for the sale of 23.000copies.

Inevitably, the labels are look-ing at other ways of promotingtheir records. One overlooked, orperhaps somewhat underrated,method is of course the personalappearance (PA). John Saunder-son of DMC (DJ Mixing Club) is afirm believer in the value of havinghis artists meeting the farm: "PAsare a serious promotional tool.When I organised them we'd dosix per night in and around a city

20,00 with a show for the kids,then go over to Piccadilly radio fora spot and then move to moreclubs. It must be said things havechanged recently though - the ar-tists are not nearly so visual, a lotof the acts are Rh and the music isjust done on computers'

Computers or no computers,deConstruction MD Keith Black-hurst takes the opposite view:"I'm not into PAs at all. None ofour artists have ever done them, Iwouldn't try to stop an artist ifthey wanted to do that but I thinkit's a cheap way of promoting adance record. Basically, a show is a

show and a record is a record!'Logic has built up its own

distribution company, AMY,which deals with specialist dance four or five different types of Din,

retailers only. Loeffel also concen-Oates on club DJs, by approachingthem directly, which is how hebroke Snap. He also lines up clubappearances and Logic also has itsown clubs in Frankfurt, where,says Laeffel, "we test our product.This is worth far mom than sen-ding records to radio people!'

Snap, a worldwide dance success for Leg,

Club promotionThem has been a rise in thenumber of companies doing clubpromotion but Saunderson be-lieves that most of them are notdoing their job particularly well:"They have a mailing list of maybe500 Ells but then they send dif-ferent types of music to all ofthem. You have to be more selec-tive than that, there's no point insending the wrong record to thewrong DJ. It'll just end up in their

garage'Black hurst agrees: "There are

all of whom have a different con-ception and that reflects in thetype of music they play in theclubs. There's no point in sending

hardcore material to commercialDin!'

So there can be little doubt thatthe influence of clubs has grown,and alongside that the importance

of specialist record shops. FredBerkhout, A&R /promotion man-ager at Amsterdam -based in-dependent label Go Bang!, whorecently had a string of successesin Benelux and the UK with D -Shake, King Bee and Dicky Disco:"The clubs are very powerful rightnow because there are so few radiostations that will play our sort ofmaterial,

This idea of a lack of com-promise is also close to the heart ofdeConstruction's Blackwell: "Wesee radio play as a bonus, we don'tgo out of our way to try and get it.You have to please yourself andtrust your instinct, there's no bigmagic formula.

Loehe is leaving EMIElectrola in Germany to run hisown dance label. He believes thatwhatever the future holds in finan-cial terms there has been a fun-damental change in modemmusic Guitar -dominated rock isno longer the rebel's choice.

Welker agrees: "The basic at-titudes of the public have changoiThere was a time when pop musicwas bands like the Beatles and theRolling Stones. That is no longerthe case and some people in radiohave not moved on.

Pieper is, among other things,in charge of the newly reformedCasablanca label which, in the late70s, was the label on which DonnaSummer and Giorgio Moroderhad a string of hits. At the mo-

ment she is resisting the tempta-tion to put out lots of product asmany dance labels do. Pieper: "Ifthings go well then we will expandand similarly with publicity, thedemand for the product will deter-mine how much more we do.

DANCE?

agrees with Pieper: "Dance is themost brutal in terms of the expen-dability of the artists. The publicnow just don't care, they takeevrything on a product -by-product basis. If you're hot youhave to get out them straight awayand make your money - fast!'

The current situation is, in someways, a slightly artificial one, asthere so many 'pop' groups whowere, until recently rock -based,releasing dance singles, Conse-quently, the number of so-calleddance records has startled. Butpeople like Marshall Jefferson,Anita Baker and Luther Vandross;who have always done soul/dancewill keep on doing so and withconsiderably more credibility thanbefore.

Overall, though, Carter takes adim view of both the major labelsand their masons for getting in-volved in the dance scene: "Themajor labels have always had pro-blems breaking pop acts so nowthey have jumped on the band-wagon. Having said that, anydance act being at the top of thecharts is a good thing. A lot of rap-pers hate acts like MC Hammer

but if that's what the kids wantthen you can't knack it"

There area lot of people in themedia who are hoping that dancemusic will go away but the simplefact is that this is now highlyunlikely. Not only has this 'trend'lasted much longer than its detraoors expected, it has also becomeso established that it is difficult tomagine such a huge and creativesection of today's music industrysimply disappearing. 0

MEDIA Rap Music - Finally Taking Off In FranceYo B -Boyd! In France

record companies and themedia are now actively

promoting rap, after yearsof indifference. EmmanuelLegrand charts the rise of

international rap in theFrench market and the

corresponding emergence!local talent.

A(though a couple of raptunes have hit the French

charts in the last few

years (Erik B & Rakim's Paid InFull, Neneh Cherry), rap in Francehas never generated much in theway of sales or media attention.Ewn Run DMC's crossover effort

with Aerosmith, Walk This Way,was hardly played on radio andsales remained poor.

But now it seems as if all the ma-

jor labels are busy pushing rapproduct in France: CBS has a win -

with Public Enemy; EMI hasput its weight behind breaking MCHammer; WEA has faith in theJungle Brothers; Musidisc hashigh expectations for 2 Live Crew;BMG Arida has a wide range ofrap acts with its variouscatalogues; Island has a roadshowtouring the country; and Virgin isfocusing on local talent.

Turning pointTo many in the industry, the turn -

Island's 'Nation Rep. bus has teen routing the country

ing paint was Public Enemy'sParis concert in April, attended by6.000 people, No other rap act hashad such extensive media cover-age, generated in part by Professor

Griff s resist comments aboutJews and black supremacy. CBSlabel manager Have Deplasse:"Public Enemy started to have afollowing in France with SpikeLee's movie 'Do The Right Thing'.Thanks to the movie, sales of thealbum It Takes A Nation To HoldUs Back jumped from 3.0(0 to19.000. So we had a good reason tobelieve that the new LP would dobetter. Initial orders of Fear Of ABlack Planet were 7.090 copies,and after five weeks, sales exceed-

ed 35.000.In July, CBS launched a major

push for all its rap catalogue,under the title Yo Rap Attack, in-cluding a Ffr 500.000 (app.

US$ 95.000) spot campaign onM6. CBS, Def Jam and Epic actsare all involved, as well as twoFrench acts: Lionel D and Titi et.Nobru. he addition, PublicEnemy's single 911 Is A Joke was

serviced to radio stations andSkyrock put the song on mediumrotation (twice a day).

Laurent Bouneau, Skyrock pro-gramme manager: "I discoveredthe song by watching a TV pro-granune on M6 featuring rap acts,and! was seduced by the bend andthe song. Public Enemy are a veryinteresting group, but they play

music that is hard to programmeon a station that aims to reach alarge audience. It's a gamble forus. Rap has a following in France,but is not yet mainstream, so wehave to programme rap musiccautiously, in order not to looseour audience.'

Jean -Michel Canitrot, radiopromotion manager at Island,finds it hard to understand why sofew radio stations will programmerap: "After all, rap is a music youcan dance to, so why are stationswhich play house or disco so un-willing to play rap?" But Deplasseis not surprised: "Radio stationsare commercial so you can't expectthem to support a new musicaltrend as radical as this one. Theyhave a wait -and -see attitude'

Local talent

Rap has also begun to inspireyoung French acts. CBS ownedlabel Squatt has just released thefirst LP from local pioneers

Lionel D and Dee Nasty andVirgin France and indie labelLabelle Noir have released thecompilation Rapattitudes whichhas tracks from 10 acts includingTonton David, Daddy Yod, EJM,Supreme NTM. Sales of the com-pilation exceeded 10.000 units dur-

ing the first month of release,showing that a local market is star-ting to emerge

All the winners will take partin the Paris finals later this monthand the overall champion will begiven the truck, a recording con-tract with Island and M6 will pro-duce a video.

The project is a joint effort bet-ween magazine Actuel, its sub-sidiary Radio Nova, M6 and retailchain FNAC. To coincide with thetour, Island has also released a rap

compilation titled Nation Rapfeaturing, among others, Tone-Loc, Eric B & Rakim and Eary-EEach slap in the tour is linked withlocal promotion with FM radiostations and FNAC stores.

Media attention

Island's Canitroti "It has alwaysbeen difficult to get media atten-tion for rap music. With this cam-paign, we try to reverse the trend.We have chosen to work with local

radio stations instead of a nationalnetwork, because we want to

create a partnership with them andassociate them with a new musicaland social movement. Few radiostations play rap music. They havereservations and consider it as arough music, and we want to showthere is a new potential audience,larger than they imagine'

Philippe Desindes, BMGAriolamarketing manager, considers theIsland plan as a "fantastic" way topromote rap. BMG is also startinga marketing plan in July calledRap Attack, featuring all the rapacts on the BMG labels and heregrets that radio stations don'ttake more risks in programmingrap music: "Rap is hardly playedon French radio. Lyrics are veryimportant in rap, but they have tobe accepted by programmers and arap tune needs a musical gimmick.Acts like De La Soul, A Tribe Call-ed Quest or Queen Latifah are go-ing to make it commercially inEurope because they have that lit-tle musical hook'

Deplasse believes rap is nowbeginning to spread outside Paris:"In the beginning, 70% of sales

Chuck D from Public Enemy (left), with Nina Hagen (right) and Herm Deplassefrom CBS France after Public Enemy's ground -breaking concert.

were made via retail chain FNACand 60% of the sales were in Paris.Now, Paris only accounts for 35%of Public Enemy's sales, and alltypes of stores carry the album.But it is also very difficult to set upanything with US rap acts. They

am totally unreliable, very hard towork with, they change planseveryday. As long as they will notchange their attitude, they willhave trouble coming and breakingin Europe'
