Rau Favours Fees,Not More Ad Time

by Mal Sondock

The fight to get more ad time andlicence fees for the public stationstook centre stage during NorthRhein-Westphalia's and pubcasterWDR's third annual media forumheld in Cologne on June 9-11.

In his keynote address, NRWminister president Johannes Rauspoke against additional ad timefor pubcasters. He advocated alarge increase in the licence fee tobe paid to the stations.

"There are two models that weare discussing. One calls for a

DM4.80 increase over a three-year period; another would be aDM5.10 increase, but for a four-year guaranteed period.

"This money would be usednot only to cover the presentdeficit that the stations now have,but also the DM1.8 billion neces-sary to finance the public broad-casters in the five new states ineastern Germany, financing forthe European TV cultural pro-gram, the new integration ofRIAS radio in Berlin and thenationwide Deutschlandfunk-

Radio Stations Discuss UK Incremental HealthReport:Mixed Diagnosis

Power Rotation Techniquesby the M&M staff

Among Europe's EHR stations,power rotation means playing asong about once every four hours,but this can vary widely. Howev-er, powerplays (key tracks) canrotate much faster, but usuallyonly for a week or two.

Radio Espalia/Radio Topmusic director Raul Marchantsays, "The audience has greatinfluence. People call in theirchoices . between 17.00-20.00daily, which usually affects 50%of our top hits. Our DJs also gath-er weekly to vote."

Marchant adds that it's normalfor a powerplay to be "introducedby a jingle and aired eight times aday for one week. Every day wehold a contest for the no. 1 song

and give away prizes.Also in Spain, COPE Music

(Radio Popular FM) head Car-los Finaly says, "We term suchrecords Disco Estrella (Staralbum). If they're unknownartists, then we use our gutinstinct. I began airing R.E.M.'sLosing My Religion and saw howit picked up quickly. This sum-mer, I predict Crystal Waterswill do well.

"If they're established artistslike Mecano or Gloria Estefan,then they're obvious powerplays.But, it's not the norm to consultthe best-selling albums list.

"We have two powerplay sin-gles, one foreign and one local,which are played seven timesdaily. We support them with con-tests, concert tickets, t -shirts, etc."

Powerplays are not regularlyused by stations in France.Michel Brillie, PD of dance sta-tion Maxximum/Paris, says,"European audiences are not yetused to them."

Brillie admits that seven ormore plays are given to sometracks that are "interesting andthat are well received by our audi-ence".

Another station that uses heavyrotation, but not powerplay, is

crosstown Skyrock. PD LaurentBouneau says, "Rotations aredecided according to the averagelistening time. If this is about 120minutes, rotations shouldn'texceed one play every twohours."

To qualify for power status,(continues on page 26)

At the 1989 Radio Festival inCardiff Radio Clyde/GlasgowMD Jimmy Gordon warned that"on present levels of fund-ing...25% of the new stations willbe out of business within a year."

Two years later the "incremen-tal" stations (those within existingILR areas and supplementary - orincremental - to the ILR station)are still broadcasting, but formany of them it has been a closecall.

Most problems have beencaused by over -optimistic rev-enue projections and poor costcontrol, leading to cutbacks andrescue bids. Programmingchanges were also made to attracta larger audience and more rev-enue.

Qua icy -rape FM ToBroadcast Via Astra

Quality Europe FM, a new UK -hacked pan-European radio ser-vice, is expected to begin broad-casting on August 1 via the Astrasatellite (Sky Movies/Channel16/Audio 5). Behind the ventureis Radio Cheltenham Group.which plan to apply for the Chel-tenham ILR licence, due to beoffered later this year.

Comments station managerRoy Litchfield "We will beoperating the first full -serviceradio station on Astra. We willhave an easy -listening music for-mat presented by a highly expe-rienced team, interspersed withshort bursts of information. Ourtarget audience is the 35+ agegroup, which gives us an esti-mated 150 million people acrossEurope."

Despite the failure of similarventures in the past. amid claimsthat there is no real market forpan-European advertising, Litch-field is confident of achieving afirst year revenue target of±,613.000. "Rather than go to oneof the existing radio sales hous-es, we intend to have our ownsales team."

"There are some 28 millionEuropean homes on cable, andwe will give any cable operator afree licence to carry our pro-gramming."

Germany, France Anti -HypeRetail Systems Detailed

by Emmanuel Legrand &Robert Lyng

While the UK has struggledrecently with problems of charthyping through record retailers,industry executives in both Ger-many and France face an array offail-safe mechanisms designed toprevent such occurrences in thosecountries.

According to Peter Zombik,MD of the German record indus-try regulator, BundesverbandPhonographischen Wirtschaft(BPW), there has been no provencase of chart hyping throughoutthe 14 -year history of the Germancharts.

Media Control of Baden-Baden, which is commissionedby BPW to compile sales statis-tics for the singles and LP charts,is monitored by BPW's investiga-tive task force. It collects weeklystatistics from some 1.300 salespoints, of which about 200 outletsreport directly via computer. Arandom selection of 800 reportsare used each week, after the datahas been subjected to various sta-tistical filterings and tests for reli-ability and validity.

Strong Female Talent Pace New Title Roll -outThis fortnight's pack of new releases bringsthe very welcome new album Luck Of TheDraw by Capitol's Grammy winner BonnieRaitt.

Similarly in France, chartmanipulation which has yet to beproved is, by nature, difficultbecause of the way in which thepanel of stores is monitored byNielsen and Ipsos. The Frenchcharts have been operating forsome seven years under Top No 1,a subsidiary of radio stationEurope 1, and in collaborationwith pay TV channel Canal Plus

and industry organisation SNEP.Normally, no distributor has

access to the listing of stores, saysJean -Yves Mirski, manager of thecharts at SNEP. In fact, each timeabnormal sales movements areregistered, then these stores areretrieved from the total listing. Ifhyping is discovered, distributorsor record companies may callupon the Commission de Controle,the French regulator, to examinethe case.

Soundcarriers which have beenhyped through any of the foremen-tioned methods are liable to sus-pension from the Top 50 chart fora maximum of four weeks. Publi-cation of the penalty and the rea-son for it must also appear in theweekly Tele 7 Jours, which pub-lishes the Top 50 chart.

Erika Vs. Roxette:Plagiarism Issue Debated

by Robbert Tilli

Are Swedish rock stars Roxetteinvolved in a case of alleged pla-giarism? According to the nation'ssecond -biggest evening paper,Aftonbladet, the new single by theduo, Fading Like A Flower, takenfrom their hit album, Joyride,sounds very reminiscent ofTogether We're Lost by fellowSwedish vocalist Erika. Erika'ssong was already a no. one hit inSweden last December, and is fea-tured on her album Cold WinterNight (Lionheart Records).

Aftonbladet's editor LasseAnrell, says that "the hook isnearly identical...same harmonies,generally the same notes (and) thesad part of the story is that Erika'ssingle was to be the banner for aworld-wide launch. I'm afraid shemay as well forget it all now, asRoxette has conquered the worldwith nearly the same tune."

Comments Roffe Persson,Erika's manager and publisher forScandinavia's Trippel Music,"We have stopped working on thatsingle outside Scandinavia, andwe will have to put out a new one.It will definitely spoil her interna-tional breakthrough.

"In our own territory the singleis still available. Reactions frommajor publishers in the UK wereuniform: 'Sorry we have to passon this one, it's too reminiscent ofRoxette.' Hopefully we canresolve this problem without tak-ing the case to court. No legal

steps have been taken so far.We're collecting information; we'llwait and see what happens. Proba-bly they will have to compensateus."

According to Lena Beime ofJimmy Sun Music, publisher ofRoxette's Per Gessle, no actionhas been planned by Roxetteeither. "As far as I am concerned,nothing really is happening. I haveseen all the media coverage, but Isimply can't speculate on that."

Says Thomas Johansson ofRoxette's management EMA-Tel-star, "There's no similaritybetween either song. I must say Ilike Erika's song very much. But Ican't see why Gessle should steala song from her. My personalview is that both songs are typicalexamples of the 'Desmond Childpower ballad school', just likeBon Jovi's You Give Love A BadName and Alice Cooper's Poison.Many songs in this genre soundsimilar, so why not Erika's andRoxette's? For that matter, bothare sung by female vocalists."

Erika's record label for G/AJSand Benelux, BMG Ariola , hasnot withdrawn her single. Accord-ing to product manager GerdDornieden, "It's not such a bigitem here like it obviously is inScandinavia. We put out that sin-gle four months ago. It wouldhave been different if we hadreleased it now. Instead we'replanning to launch another singleoff the album, probably HurtingSo Bad."

"Young Belgian management office which works with two future impor-tant Belgian bands, is looking to manage international rock and hardrock bands. So if you are interested in international management sendus your demo or record, press book, biography, pictures, videotapes

and all material giving us the desire to work with you."

YOU CAN GO BACK HOME - Chris Rea went back tohis roots recently when he paid a visit to Metro FM/Newcas-tle to sign prize copies of his album "Auberge" and presentthe station with a silver disc. Rea, who was born in the NorthEast, is pictured during a mid -morning show with programmecontroller Giles Squire (left) and presenter David Pever (right).

Autumn HarvestYields SuperstarAlbum ReleasesRecord companies are looking to abumper fourth quarter to restore theindustry's fortunes after disappoint-ing first-quarter figures (M&MMay 25).

A slew of blockbusting releasesare being scheduled for autumn,starting with new albums fromMichael Jackson and Dire Straitsin early September. Both albumsmay be released on the same day.

U2 will be releasing its eagerlyawaited new album in October,along with Genesis, who are cur-rently recording their first album insix years.

Simply Red sees a Septemberdate for their first album_since the5.5 million -selling New Flame. Andthere are autumn releases scheduledfor Bryan Adams, the Pet ShopBoys, Belinda Carlisle, Level 42,Adeva, Diana Ross, the reunited10cc and Metallica. In addition,there will be greatest hits packagesfrom Tina Turner, Queen (Volume2), Stevie Nicks and Yes.

Perhaps the most intriguing

autumn release is a tribute to EltonJohn, which will feature tracksfrom Phil Collins ("Burn DownThe Mission"), Rod Stewart,Queen, Sting, the Who (SaturdayNight's Alright For Fighting), BonJovi, Eric Clapton and the BeachBoys (Crocodile Rock). A TV spe-cial and video will also bereleased.

One industry source says that inaddition to the major releasesplanned for this fall, some of thealbums put out earlier this yearcould make a strong chart come-back towards Christmas. "ChrisRea has a mammoth three-monthEuropean tour coming up in theautumn and his Auberge album willget another boost. I wouldn't besurprised to see Beverley Cravenback on the charts, particularly ifshe gets another hit single to coin-cide with her UK dates in theautumn. What better way to launcha Christmas campaign for yourartist than with a 30.000 sales baseearlier in the year?" HF

Five Bidders In RunningFor New Lincoln IR Licence

by Hugh Fielder andPaul Easton

The competition is strong for theLincoln independent radio license,with five applications having beenfiled - the highest number for anon -metropolitan licence in overtwo years.

While two of the applicantshave a solid IR profile, the otherthree are backed by community andhospital radio groups. Says anindustry analyst, "In terms of realis-tic programming and financial pro-posals, there is little to choosebetween Lincs FM and TrentFM/Lincolnshire. I imagine it willbe a two -horse race and it could bea photo -finish."

The FM service will extend tosome 250.000 adults, the largestpopulation not yet covered by an IRstation. The Radio Authorityexpects to announce the winnerwithin two months, and the new sta-tion could be on -air early next year.

The five applicants are: Trent FM/Lincolnshire -

Backed by Midlands Radio, MDRon Coles says 7% of the potentialaudience now listens to one of theRadio Trent services. "The peopleof Lincolnshire are already familiarwith Radio Trent, so it would becrazy to dream up a new format."

He adds the programming willbe slightly different because there isonly one FM service advertised.Says Coles, "It will be a mix offamiliar hits and a broader selectionof hits from the past."

Executive management and

administration will be in Notting-ham. Locally originated program-ming, including news, however,will be sent from new studios inLincoln from 06.00-18.00, with theremaining hours coming from TrentFM/Nottingham. "It will run verymuch along the lines of TrentFM/Derby and Sound FM/Leices-ter," says Coles.

Its first -year revenue projectionis £936.0030 (app. US$1.6 million).

Lincs FM - Backed by localnewspaper group Mortons ofHorncastle, which has a 20%stake, and 3i (15%), Lincs FM hasrecruited former Ocean Sound MDMichael Betton. Betton says thestation will "represent the best inreal local radio, providing a usefuland attractive balance of news,community information and famil-iar music".

Programming will be targettedtowards the 15-45 age group, with75% music, especially current andrecent pop. Local information willbe provided "in a [BBC] Radio 1style". First -year income is project-ed at £732.000.

Cathedral FM - One oftwo locally backed communityapplicants involved in special -eventlicences and hospital radio. Cathe-dral FM promises to be "very muchcommunity -based and concentrat-ing on local programmes, includinglocal sport, as well as reporters outand about in the villages of Lin-colnshire investigating local news."Music will take up 65% of theblock format, with a variety ofshows ranging from specialist

music to consumer and lifestyleissues. Projected revenue for yearone is £2.291 million; the majorityof the funding will come from abank overdraft facility.

Poacher FM - FormerYorkshire Radio Network chiefengineer Derrick Connolly is oneof the directors of this locallybacked applicant. The block -pro-grammed format, targetted towardsthe 18-35 group, will feature main-stream music during the day, spe-cialist shows in the evening, a late -night phone-in, and a children'sprogramme called "School's Out"between 16.00-16.30.

Poacher is concentrating itssales efforts on local advertising,and estimates revenue for the firstyear at £428.000, less 10% com-mission.

Fresh FM - An Essex -basedgroup which is also going for theCornwall licence, Fresh FM says itwill be financed by local investors.A wide-ranging programme sched-ule will feature music dating from1956 to the present, with specialistshows on classical, jazz and coun-try. There will also be six hours aweek of programmes "generated byand involving local communitygroups". Of the five applicants, thestation has the highest staffing lev-els, including up to 20 presenters. Itclaims it needs to attract only£20.000 a week to keep running,and advertising rates "will be delib-erately kept low to cater to smallbusinesses in the area". Revenueprojected for the first year is £1.045million.

BBC's Hussey Backs Local RadioBBC corporate chairman Mar-maduke Hussey has come outsolidly in favor of local radio, say-ing that with a million weekly lis-teners it is the BBC's most popularservice after Radio 1.

Those who claimed the BBCwas duplicating independent localradio missed the point, Hussey saidin a recent speech to the MediaSociety. "We are aiming at totallydifferent audiences. Ours is 70%speech; theirs is 70% music or

more. We are building up news andcurrent affairs across local commu-nities; they are reducing it. We wantto provide a service to the public,however small. Commercial sta-tions must provide a service to theadvertisers to keep themselvesafloat."

He warned that upcomingnational commercial stations "willcreate stormy seas for existing localstations, which will have to takecare that they don't vanish beneath

the waves as their first nationalcompetitors soak up all the advertis-ing."

Underlining its commitment tolocal radio, the BBC has announceda £3 million (app. US$5.1 million)programme to strengthen its region-al journalism. A total of 38 jobs arebeing created, including a localgovernment correspondent at eachof the 10 regional news centres anda network of specialist reporters.

Sole Bidder For Pitlochry/Pertshire StationThe Radio Authority hasreceived only one application forthe Pitlochry and Aberfeldy(Pertshire, Scotland) licence.With a local population of around5.000 adults, it would be Britain'ssmallest ILR station.

Heartland Radio Association(HRA) David Trueman says thestation can be run as a viableoperation, but not as a commer-

cial station. "We are very small-scale, and we're looking at spon-sorship, listener subscriptions,merchandising, and maximisingthe use of the station's resourcesfor training courses." Truemansays HRA will build its program-ming slowly. "We will be depen-dent on volunteers and communi-ty -based access programming.For the first nine months we will

operate weekends only. Then wehope to take on a full-time pre-senter for a seven-day breakfastshow. After a year, we aim tobroadcast for three hours eachmorning and afternoon."

The Authority is expected toannounce by the end of Julywhether to award the license.HRA aims to begin broadcastingNovember 30. PE

Radio OK Posts Huge Gains,Ranks Fourth In Hamburg

by Mal Sondock

New EHR-formatted RadioOK/Hamburg has scored thelargest increase in the latestInfratest "listening yesterday"ratings, climbing from last tofourth place. The survey showed,however, that the majority ofHamburg listeners are still faith-ful to pubcaster NDR.

about a three -minute durationbetween 06.00-09.00 and 15.00-18.00. We play 14-15 records anhour and shorten them to justover three minutes each in orderto have variety and action.

"The only magazine -type pro-gram we have is between 18.00-19.00, with about 40% talk and60% music. We have to do itbecause of licensing arrange-ments with the government. Ourtarget group is very young - toabout 34. The ratings show wehave already captured the ears ofthe young active listeners."

The Infratest ratings were gath-ered among 1.796 Hamburg lis-teners, with 83% of those ques-tioned reporting listening on theprevious day.

The American Armed ForcesNetwork (AFN) in Germany willclose its Munich station by theend of next spring. Station man-ager Sergeant Melissa Stupreports troops now stationed atthe McGraw Kaserne in Munichwill be shipped out withoutreplacement in June, 1992.Explains Stup, "The cold war isover. Our mission is completed."

AFN began broadcasting with50 Watts from the BBC studios inLondon on July 4, 1943. While

AFN Germany headquarters arenow in Frankfurt, with furthersupport stations in Bremen,Berlin, Kaiserslautern, Nurem-burg, Stuttgart and Wurzburg, theMunich station was the first in

Germany. Major Bob Lightbegan broadcasting there from amobile unit on April 10, 1945.

AFN Munich's current pro-gramming consists of seven hoursdaily of its own local productions.The remainder of the 24 -hourprogram, largely American syndi-cated shows, is supplied by AFNFrankfurt.

According to an Armyspokesman, general troop reduc-tions throughout Germany andthe rest of Europe could alsoaffect other AFN stations. How-ever, no current plans for furtherclosures were revealed.

Americans currently stationedin Germany are not the only onesaffected by these changes. ManyGermans also listen to AFN,which was instrumental in intro-ducing American jazz, blues, rockand pop to a grateful, young,post -World War II German audi-ence.

RMC Plans EuroExpansion; Looks

For PartnersRadio Monte Carlo ( RMC)looking for new partners in order toexpand through France and Europe.The announcement on June 6 wasmade by the station's general man-ager Jean -Noel Tassez. In an inter-view with daily newspaper LeFigaro he says, "I don't think wecan exclude a policy of alliancesbetween RMC and one or moregroups in the communication field.We already have experience of thatkind of relationship with privateoperators through Nostalgic, ofwhich we control 51% of theshares."

Tassez does not exclude anykind of partnership: cross owner-ship, advertising deals, or creationof subsidiaries with partners.According to press reports, groups

such as Bouygues, operator of lead-ing private channel TF1, the Lux-embourg -based group CLT-RTI..communication giant Hachette -Europe 1 or advertising groupHavas, are viewed as possible part-ner for RMC. RMC has announcedthat it wants to develop in SouthernEurope, especially Spain and Italy.

RMC is currently owned 83(,by Sofirad. a French state-ownedfinancial holding. and list by theprincipality of Monaco. The stationwas supposed to be privatised in1987, but the stock exchange prob-lems that year blocked the process.RMC has since been going throughdrastic restructuring measures, lay-ing -off 58 people out of a workforce of 525. with 30 additionaldepartures planned.

Europe 2 Tightens QuebecTies: DJ, Programme SwapsWith Cite Rock Detente

by Jacqueline Eacott

Europe 2 has now cemented itscross-cultural deal with the Montre-al -based Cite Rock Detente FMradio, owned by Quebec multi-media group Telemedia Commu-nications. The agreement wasfinalised on June 4 by Europe 2'sdirector-general Martin Brisac andCite Rock Detente's programmedirector Guy Banvffie. The originalcollaboration agreement was madebetween Brisac and Telemedia's VPJacques Lina at MIDEM last Jan-uary.

Under the terms of the deal, thetwo FM stations will swap pro-grammes and DJs, putting theemphasis on a Paris -Montreal cul-tural axis. Brisac assures, "Its anagreement made for cultural, notfinancial reasons. We want to giveour listeners new insight into Que-bec, as well as a chance to hear up-and-coming French-Canadian art-ists."

These new acts, along with thetop -selling albums in Quebec, areshowcased in Europe 2's weekly"Top Album" show (Sunday, 10.00-11.30). The French station alsoplans to co -promote European toursand record releases of French-Cana-dian artists. One such artist current-ly benefitting is Robert Charle-bols, whose Best Of album is out onFNAC Music.

In Quebec, Cite Rock Detentethis autumn will launch "Pro-gramme De Stars" (Sunday, 11.30-12.30 on Europe 2), with Europe 2supplying the French material. Cur-

rent French hits, selected by the sta-tion, will be aired in special dailyspots.

A weekly Friday night show onParis cultural life is also planned,with Europe 2 likely to return thecompliment by providing a weeklylook at the Montreal scene.

The two stations, will also beswapping DJs this summer, withEurope 2's morning host ThierryWelgart assuming the 9.00-12.00slot on Cite Rock Detente July 22-26, and Quebec's Dominique Fre-gault taking over the Europe 2afternoon slot.

Banville says the collaborationis not just designed to help the Que-bec station meet its French lan-guage quotas. But he adds, "It's truethat our station is subject to quotas,and we do have to play a certainpercentage of French languagematerial. But this agreement is

about bringing the two cities togeth-er. It's a recognition of the historicaland cultural links which existbetween Quebec and France." AsBanville points out, the "detente"(soft rock) theme is shared and pro-moted by both stations, with bothattracting the similar audiences.

They are also increasing their(unofficial) jazz quotas; the CiteRock Detente audience will now beable to hear jazz from this year'sMontreal Festival, co -promoted byEurope 2 (as well as being assuredcoverage of the Winter OlympicGames at Albertville). In return,Europe 2 listeners gain access to theMontreal Jazz and World FilmsFestivals.

Radio Pans Tournier's CallFor French Music Quotas

Emmanuel Legrand

The call for French music quotas byJean -Loup Tournier, the generalmanager of performing rights soci-ety SACEM, has received a

thumbs -down reception by theFrench media community and at theFrench Ministry of Culture.

On the heels of Tournier's sug-gestion, French Minister of CultureJack Lang, who is responsible forintroducing relevant legal require-ments, said during a press confer-ence that he didn't want to "impose"quotas. Instead, he called for media"responsibility," and asked musicprogrammers to "give more room to[French] creators and artists, espe-cially to young ones or even to oldartists who are no longer in fash-ion."

Lang announced he had asked aMinistry of Culture commission onrock and variety (CCRV)- all pro-fessionals from the music business-to organise meetings between themusic industry and broadcastersand come up with "proposals".

Lang also suggested calling uponbroadcasting authorities to see ifstations are meeting requirements.

Yves Bigot, music programmerof public station France Inter, andpresident of CCRV, is stronglyopposed to quotas. Says Bigot,"Quotas - it's either 100% or it isnothing. Either you impose themfully, or you don't do anything. Andif it is 100%, it's like being in East-ern Europe. Who wants that?Besides, the French market is strongenough to face international compe-tition." Bigot labels Tournier's quotastatement "demagoguery," andcompares it to a political campaign."He has to please his electorate",comments Bigot, referring to themajority of SACEM's members.

Laurent Bouneau, programmedirector of Skyrock, calls quotassimply "ridiculous". He says, "Ofcourse, we would like to play moreFrench music, but it doesn't work.Our target, the 15-25 age group,prefers international music. I doubtthat we would have 2.5 milliondaily listeners if we were playing

50% French music. Quotas are justa way to create artificial protection."Bouneau adds, "Each time themusic industry has problems, theytransfer the responsibility to themedia." He invites the music indus-try to first take a look at their ownstructure and change. SaysBouneau, "The days when theywere going to radio stations with arecord and saying 'Please, play it'are over. They have to be muchmore careful about what they sign,the number of acts they sign, andhow they promote them."

Martin Brisac, director-generalof Europe 2, says quotas are "non-sense". Says Brisac, "We are readyto help French production, and wealready programme 40% of it, buthow could we be sure that at eachmoment we can have enoughFrench music of quality to reachthis level?" For Brisac, the risk ofquotas is the threat of "uniformity"of the airwaves. Adds Brisac, "Youcannot ask Nostalgie and Maxxi-mum to have the same level ofFrench music. It wouldn't work."

Columbia And Gipsy KingsIn A Worldwide Deal

Emmanuel Legrand

Claude Martinez, the French pro-ducer of French flamenco -blendedband Gipsy Kings, boldly speaks ofhis ambition to make the GipsyKings "one of the top five bands inthe world within the next twoyears".

To achieve his goal, Martinezhas signed a worldwide licencingdeal with Sony Music's labelColumbia. It excludes the US forwhich the band is still under con-tract with Elektra. A worldwidedeal sees a change in Martinez'sstrategy, who previously preferredterritory -by -territory contracts in

order to get the most- motivatedcompany in each area.

Martinez comments, "SonyMusic has major worldwide com-mercial and promotional power. Wehave worked with them before onsome territories and it seems to meand to the band that they will be thebest company to develop the careerof the Gipsy Kings on a worldwidescale".

Asked why he decided to signwith a single company, Martinezsays that the size of development ofthe band and the working burdens itrepresents are too great for a smallteam like his. Also, concentratingall marketing and promotionalactivities on one distributor is easi-er.

Martinez declines to reveal

The Gipsy Kings

specifics, but says it is a classiclicencing deal that includes optionalclauses (ie. a right of first refusalfrom the company). He explains,"This way, it is much more flexiblefor everyone."

The US contract with Elektra isto continue for at least two reasons;the first is that it had not ended; thesecond is that "it is a very, verygood company," says Martinez."We have come to know each other,and we understand Elektra's way ofworking. We appreciate the workthey've done, so it seems logical tostay with them."

Although the band's previousalbums sold over a million copies inthe US, (more than 4.5 millionalbums worldwide of their tworeleases), Martinez says he admitsthe difficulties in developing a non

Anglo-American band in the States.Hardest of all is getting radio air-play, but he is confident of Elektra'sability. "They have a massive mar-keting plan. The band will spend alot of time in the US for promotionand concerts."

The new album, Este Mundo, isloosely scheduled for release in lateJune/early July. They begin theirpromotion in July by embarking ona worldwide tour, starting in the USwith a free concert in New York'sCentral Park celebrating France'snational day on July 14 at the Sum-mer Stage Festival. The tour alsoincludes Wembley Arena in Lon-don next autumn.

McCartney PlaysSmaller GigsPaul McCartney, following hisrecent small venue concert inBarcelona, repeated the exercise inNaples on June 5. The event,organised by local promotersD'Allesandro & Galli, was stagedat the Teatro Tenda Partenope.

McCartney performed to an aud-ience of only 2.000, in what EMIItaly described as, "An all -standingrock n' roll gig. Not the type ofevent for jewellery rattlers."

Tickets were limited to three perperson and, in an effort to limittouting, they were printed in theUK and put on sale only daysbefore the event.

EMI's marketing director Fran-co Cahrini says that McCartney

decided to play at extremely shortnotice. And, while there was noradio involvement because of thesheer number of national stations,TV crews from state RAI and Sil-vio Berlusconi's channel Canale 5filmed one song for their newsfootage.

McCartney's album, Flowers InThe Dirt, has sold 200.000 unitson the local market, while Trip-ping The Live Fantastic, a threealbum package, has achieved salesof 400.000. Pressings of thealbum, Unplugged -The OfficialBootleg, was limited to 70.000 forthe local market. These are expect-ed to be sold by the middle of thismonth. DS

Rete 105 Has ASuccess WithFashion Line -UpRete 105, the only radio stationon national territory with its ownfashion line, is claiming sales of8.000 items after seven weeks onthe market. Since the launch onApril 15, sales have risen by15%, according to station execu-tive Edoardo Hazan.

Hazan claimsthat 105 Original jeans are com-peting well with Levis. "There's asales ratio of four to one in theirfavour at the Coin outlets. Thisproves the quality of our styling,when you think how long Levishas been in business."

The station's first promotionexercise coincides with a special

"Anglo-American Dominance"Coming To An End In Italy?

by David Stansfield

Operators in the local music indus-try are seeing a declining influenceof AA product and are actingaccordingly, an M&M surveyshows.

Andrea Olcese, creator anddirector of the new TV programme"Europop" (see RAI 2 -story thispage) admits that a changing marketwill influence his programme con-tent and some key concert promot-ers are turning their attentions toacts from outside the UK.

Explains Olcese, "The Europeansuccess of national artists ErosRamazotti, Zucchero, GiannaNannini and Vasco Rossi are indi-cations of a changing market. Therehave been pan-European break-throughs by French acts Niagara,Vanessa Paradis and ManoNegra. Spain is well represented byMecano and La Union; Germanyby Enigma and Milli Vanilli andScandinavia by acts such as Rox-ette and A -Ha."

There is no threat of any boycottbut Claudio Trotta's Milan -basedBarley Arts Production companyis focusing a great deal of attentionon French acts, as well as organis-ing a "Eurock" festival, whichexcludes UK acts. Rome -based pro-moter David Zard, who in the pasthas organised tours by Madonna,Michael Jackson and the RollingStones, plans to manage local acts.He claims that the US/UK superstarstranglehold is over.

Local record companies are cau-tious, but most agree that there isincreasing musical interest fromcontAntal Europe. Warner Radiopromotions manager Sandor Mal-lasz says quality and interest in UK -produced music has decreased"But, you can never really predictwhat will happen. Who would havethought that Italian music wouldhappen the way it did?"

But what about airplay for theseacts? Mallasz says he admits thatcurrently he has the English-speak-ing group A -Ha to promote. But atCDG, radio promotions manager

Luciano Linzi is encouraged byradio response to Spanish groups LaUnion and Presuntos Implicados."The two bands are quite differentfrom each other. While I'm not say-ing it's easy to get airplay, some sta-tions such as Radio Monte Carlo,Radio Subasjo/Perugia and RadioCentro 95/Turin are ready to exper-iment and try them."

Linzi says he believes that Span-ish-speaking acts are easier to pro-mote on the local market than theFrench. But Polydor's head of pro-motions Stefano Zappatera tells adifferent story. He maintains that it'stoo early to predict a trend in Euro-pean music, but adds, "We've hadcommercial success with VanessaParadis and, while French/Spanishact Roe did not sell well, his single,Soledad, was a radio hit."

German act Camouflage isreceiving airplay on stations such asRete 105 and Radio DeeJay,according to Zappaterra. However,reactions to Mylene Farmer arethe most encouraging. "She's thebest example of a megastar whodoes not come from the USA or the

UK, and most stations are airplay-ing her new album L'Autre. Fastestto play it has been RU 102.5 HitRadio."

Head of music at RTL 102.5 isthe UK's Grant Benson, who saysthat he is interested in any act orartist who is charting in more thanone European territory. Farmer isdoing just that, and he adds, "She'sdoing well in parts of Switzerland,which are not necessarily French-speaking."

Benson agrees that there is aweakness in current UK product,but he maintains that continentalEuropean music is at its best whenit reflects the country it comes from.

Benson explains, "It's no goodbands trying to copy music pro-duced in the US or UK, as manyhave done in the past. ManoNegra are particularly interestingbecause their music has such aFrench flavour, and it's the samewith local acts. I'm giving airplayto Kabella (CGD); this band'smusic has an ethnic southern Ital-ian feel to it."

RAI 2 Packages New MusicProgrammes For TV

When most of the major recordcompanies seeni to be giving up onthe chance of any more space formusic on TV, RAI 2. the state

broadcaster's second channel, is

planning a package of new pro-grammes which will cover a varietyof musical genres.

At a presentation ceremony heldin Milan's famed La Scala theatre,RAI 2 director Giampaolo Sodanolaunched Progetto Musica (MusicProject), which aims to make thechannel a key player in the TVmusic market.

The weekly programme "NuovoCantaiziro '91." launched on June 2 ,will feature both international and

national artists, and also providevaluable space for major local art-ists and newcomers. A special. fea-turing talent from the city ofNaples. was screened on June 14.The channel also linked up viasattelite with Paris, Barcelona andPrague for its "Notte Centro 1

Razzismo" Against(NightRacisme i programme on June 15.

Perhaps the most radical projectwill be "Europop," a Top 40 chartshow to debut in October by

Andrea Olcese, creator and directorof the successful "Rock Cafe" series,which is also screened on RAI 2.The shows will concentrate onmusic from continental Europe. DS

Sting Releases Zucchero-Produced,Italian Version Of 'Mad About You'A special release of Stings album,The Soul Cages, includes Muoi PerTe, an Italian version of the song,Mad About You. It has sold 80.000units within three weeks of itsrelease on May 8. Radio airplay isbeing credited as a major reason forthe success.

A&M product manager Giovan-ni Arcovito describes the sales fig-ures as "staggering," and claims

that for the first time in his experi-ence, promotion alone was strongerthan marketing. He explains,"There were point -of -sales dis-plays, nothing else. But, I'd beawakened by my radio alarm andhear the song five times in an hour,all on different stations."

Arcovito declines to cite any onestation as key to the song's success.The airplay stretched from key

national networks to local broad-casters.

Italian star Zucchero wrote thesong lyrics and produced the track.He also made a few "surprise"appearances on Sting's recentnational tour.

At presstime, the combined salesfigures of the two versions of The

Soul Cages had reached almost400.000, which is double platinumstatus on national territory. DS

PD Lars Kjaer explains, "Bo isbest doing radio and we're allowinghim to concentrate on that. It'sunfortunate that we've had to lethim go, because he's a very popularguy. But we have 10 stations aroundthe country, and with so many sta-tions he had to make sure stuff gotto them. Unfortunately, that wasn'thappening; he wasn't preciseenough. The bottom line was thathe wasn't good enough for his job,so we let him go."

Bo BergBerg says he was surprised by

the dismissal and refuted the ma-sons for his discharge. "I think it'sincredible they didn't mention any

of these things when they fired me.They just said I wasn't getting thematerial out to the stations, and thatwas it."

Berg characterises his recentfreelance airwork as "weird," not-ing, "It is strange to come straightinto the studio, rather than to myoffice as usual." He says he hasalready looked outside Denmark forradio jobs, but regards any furtheropportunities for him in the Danishradio industry as limited. "I justdon't think there are that many greatstations in Denmark compared toThe Voice."

Meanwhile, Kjxr acknowledgesthat what he needs most is "more ofan administrator," and has thereforehired Signe Nielsen, formerly ofWarner Music Denmark, as pro-gramming and music co-ordinatorto liase with record companies andpromoters.

The second annual CopenhagenMusic Seminar (CMS) is sched-uled for September 10-13, withorganisers promising a morefocused approach, better showcasesand a bigger infrastructure.

CMS director Frank Marstokkreports that the seminar will includepanels and discussions, which willbuild on issues raised during lastyear's gathering. "Seminars, in

essence, are not that different fromone another," he says. "This year wewill be building on what we startedin 1990: broadening the base ofdiscussions and mixing up panels.There won't just be marketing peo-ple on the marketing panel."

The CMS, which last yearattracted 250 delegates from Scan-dinavia and other territories, haschanged venue from the FalkonerCentre to the newly established"Baron Boltens Gaard" culture cen-

Antena 3 ReportsProfitable 1990;Sales Up 16%

Private radio network Antena 3reports profits of Ptas1.4 billion(app. US$14 million) and net profitsof Ptas899 million for 1990. It alsoconfirms total revenues of Ptas9.1billion, an increase of 16% over1989. These sales results reflect a21% net profit, which could be thehighest rate of return in the privatebroadcasting sector in Spain.

Despite the positive news, Ante-na 3's shares on the Madrid andBarcelona stock exchange haveonly managed to maintain reason-able levels. At the end of 1990,shares were valued at betweenPtas1.550 and Ptas1.700. F.G.Securities stockbroker Ignacio

Gomez Montejo reports that AnteHna 3 shares have not done well dur-ing 1991's first quarter. He says,"They've dropped by 30% and arenow selling for Ptas1.150."

Montejo explains that investorswere wary because of losses byAntena 3 TV, of which Antena 3radio is a majority shareholder. Hecontinues. "Even though the losseswere expected. investors have feltthe need to sell." He attributes theprivate station's slump in advertis-ing revenues over the first quarter ofthis year as another reason for theloss of confidence. "It should hitrock -bottom and then, in the nearfuture. start rising."

Telecom Ministry ReviewsSix Station Start -Upsby Anna Marie de la Fuente

Telecommunications Ministry sec-retary-general Elena Salgado hasannounced the opening of an

inquiry on six radio stations whichfailed to commence broadcastingwithin a given period that expiredin March. The Ministry declined toidentify which operators are in-volved.

The stations, among the 153

bidders awarded new FM licenseslast July, could have their licencesrevoked. Jose Luis Martin, pressaide to TM secretary general ElenaSalgado, says the inquiry "couldlast from one to six months." Hemaintains, however, that it is a "per-fectly normal procedure, nothingout of the ordinary." Industryobservers call revocation a worst -case scenario, predicting the sta-

tions might be fined or issued awarning and given another start-upperiod.

The licensing round of summer'89 is said to be the last of its kind.It was preceded by a similar roundin 1979 when 300 new licenceswere granted. Salgado confirms,"The goverment has no intention ofawarding new [private] licences.The radio band is simply saturat-ed."

There are nearly 1.000 commer-cial FM radio licenses in Spain.

The controversy -ridden munici-pal radio law, approved by theSpanish parliament three monthsago, allows municipal -run stationsdouble financing through advertis-ing and local government funds.This will increase the number ofstations already crowding the air-waves. Industry rumours indicate

that as many as 1.000 municipalstations will be authorized. Thereare 8.000 municipalities in Spain.

Meanwhile, the major privateradio networks SER, COPE, Ante-na 3 and ONDA CERO, whichobtained less than 12 new licenseseach, complied with the deadline.Antena 3, for instance, set up its all -Spanish station, Radio Ole, lastFebruary.

CADENA "40 PRINCIPALES"

Los 40 PrincipalesThis July Los 40 Princi-pales celebrates its 25thanniversary. But thestory of how Spain's

leading pop station emerged goesback beyond 25 years to 1963when music programming headRafael Revert, still a Frenchteacher working part-time forSER, began collaborating withradio veteran Tomas MartinBlanco in the regular Sunday liveconcert programme, 'El GranMusical'.

It was then that he formulatedwhat would be the Los 40 policy:to back local pop artists. "We usedto bring the bands to RadioMadrid and gave them 500 ptas.for the taxi fare," he says, recallinghow they would launch all thebands of that time - Los Telecos,Micky y Los Torts, Los Mustangand so on.

However, it was not until July18, 1966, that a real semblance of

US formula pop model. Its rigidformat is based on colours and acomplementary chart. There arefour or five Discos Rojos (Red)tracks a week, which are playedeight times a day and 15 verdes(green) tracks played six times aday. The play frequency descendsthrough blue, black and finally,white.

Stations are obliged to play atleast four of the Rojos but canvary one, or sometimes two, oth-ers. The no. I track is played 12times a day every other hour, onthe hour.

Around 25 to 30 station heads,including those of sister stationsRadio Minuto and Cadena Dial aswell as TV station Canal Plus,meet every Tuesday in Madrid todecide the chart and playlist withRevert. At least four record compa-ny sales reps are allowed to join themeeting to make their pitch. Some40 records - sometimes as many

today's Los 40 Principales sur-faced. "It lasted two hours a dayand we played the 40 records weliked best", relates Revert.Olimpia Torres was the first DJand the very first no. 1 song wasThe Mamas and the Papas'Monday, Monday.

First aired in Madrid alone, thetwo hours soon grew to four, thensix as the cities of Barcelona andSeville followed.

By around the mid -'70s, 40 sta-tions were airing the Top 40 for-mat 12 hours a day. It is nowtransmitted via 61 full-time sta-tions while 57 others do a mixedprogramming, connecting viasatellite from 15.00 to 20.00hours.

Not until 1979 did the colourssystem and the weekly meetingsof station managers with Revertbecome a reality. Los 40 was thefirst network in Spain to copy the

tedious four hours but it's reallyvery useful to me," says Revert. "Iget a feel of the personality andneeds of each market by talking tosuch a variety of station managers- from one representing a mere5.000 listeners in some remote vil-lage to one serving a highly sophis-ticated audience like Barcelona, forinstance."

Until the satellite system waslaunched on September 22, 1988,few stations were networked. "We'dsend them an 8 -hour tape whichincluded the four hour show'Countdown' and the American Top40 show, translated periodically bythe DJ," he says.

From 1963 until 1985, Revertand his team questioned retailers allover the country in order to drawthe top selling LP list (Lista deSuperventas) which helped deter -

The Story So Farmine the Top 40 chart. However, in1985 they started using the servicesof media research company Demo-scopia when there was a change ofadministration.

Los 40 Principales now boastsan audience of 5 million. The sta-tion's main target group is the 14-25year olds and 2.6 million of themregularly tune in. "Suprisingly, outof the 1.4 million listeners we haveover the age of 25, 200.000 are over60!" Revert says in amazement.

He attributes the success of thepop stations to their policy in sup-porting local acts and most, impor-tantly, the belief that Los 40 Princi-pales is "primarily, to make othershappy."

"We're not here to analyse themusic industry or sell records.News is 'United to that related tomusic. Throughout all these years,we've never broadcast any news,not even when General Francodied."

SER The LargestNetwork In Europe

n 1925 the studios ofUnion Radio (today RadioMadrid) were inauguratedby King Alfonso XIII.

Sixty-four years later, Juan Car-los I, the present King, andgrandson of King Alfonso, visitedone of the most modern broad-casting operations in Europeanradio. Since those early daysCadena SER has grown into thelargest network of stations inEurope.

The Four NetworksRadio Minuto was created in1983. Presently, 26 FM stationsbroadcast a mix of adult contem-porary music and news 24 hours aday. According to its directorJavier Suarez, "Radio Minuto'spublic is more than 25 years old,and belongs to the middle-class.Our initial format had amusic/speech ratio of 50/50, butwith the passing of time, changeswere made and today we offer

Our formula is based upona list of 100 songs which variesweekly. We divide the records ingroups that are rotated periodical-ly."

The latest EGM audience sur-vey (February to March 1991)shows that Cadena Dial is lis-tened to by more than 400.000people daily. Typical Spanishstyles (sevillanas, rumbas,coplas), Latin music and oldiesform 60% of output. The other40% is reserved for current hitsinterpreted in Spanish or any ofthe other languages of Spain.

The Cadena SER network isthe largest private broadcastingcompany in Spain. It beganbroadcasting in 1925 and todaymore than 124 stations, (51 onMW, the rest FM) offer its format,based on news, magazine showsand sports.

Francisco Vela, director/pro-grammes and sports says its pro-gramming serves all segments ofthe audience. "Apart from news,sports and features, the SER net-work is always present at greatevents such as European footballmatches, the major bicycle races

The Men At The TopTwo thirds of all Spaniards aged 10-20 listen to Los 40

Eugenio GaldOnPRISA's Audio Visual

Director General

Eugenio GoldOn

of PRISA's audio-visual division,he is the man ultimately respons-ible for what happens at Los 40Principales.

Until two years ago he hadbeen professor of public financeat Madrid's autonomous universi-ty, and was SER's MD from1985-1990. When he joined SER,Galdon embarked on a pro-gramme of training and improve-ments. "Los 40 was not function-ing in network form; we were notusing satellites." Following a dealwith Eutelsat, the network wasestablished in 1988, with a result-ing boost in workforce morale.

The main studio in Madridwas also revamped. "We built anew studio on the eighth floor, adome shaped glass structure withwonderful sunrises and sunsets.When Paul McCartney visited

"Over the past 25 years Los 40 Principaleshas excersised more influence on Spanish

public opinion than the written press."

"Over the past 25 years Los 40Principales has excersised moreinfluence on Spanish public opin-ion than the written press," Euge-nio Galan smiles with completecandour. "Conventional wisdomis not formed by newspapers inSpain, and people watch TV lessthan conventionally thought."

As one of the most importantpeople in the audio-visual field inSpain, Galdizin knows what he istalking about. As director general

it, he said it was the most attrac-tive studio he had ever seen."

Now that the network is run-ning smoothly, Galdon is concen-trating on consolidating Los 40'srelationship with TV. Canal Plushas 90 minutes of pop music aday, including 30 minutes atprime time. "Video clips are veryimportant. I make sure that Los40 is playing the music that CanalPlus is playing and vice versa."

Rafael Revert, Head OfMusic Programming

Cadena SERThe founder of Los 40 Princi-pales started out very young inradio. In his words, he was "sim-ply a fan, a guy who listened toradio and liked music." Whilestill at school, he began workingwith Angela Alvarez in the"Caravan Musical" programme,helping him to choose records,among other odd jobs.

Then he heard of TomasMartin Blanco at SER's RadioMadrid, who did a show withnew releases. Rafael Revertstarted helping out there, pickingout records. "That's where I com-piled my first chart, calling sixshops a week!", he relates. Hewas 16 years old.

It was not until 1966 that hebecame a full staff member. Fortwo years before that, he taughtFrench and worked at SER in theafternoons, dubbing himself "theworst voice with the bestrecords".

His current position takes himto the US more times than he'dchoose to go. "Last year, I flew

over 12 times, sometimes for just24 hours. The American customsagent suggested I become a resi-dent because he couldn't find aspace in my passport to stamp!"

Until recently, he managed theEl Gran Musical magazine andits radio version on Sundays. "Idevoted all my Sunday to this. Itis the nucleus of Los 40", he says.He would now prefer to channel

ing more Spanish pop, not justAmerican and English. The mainproblem is economic. The home-grown industry is quite small andmarket access is very expensivein terms of investment."

Galdon sees Los 40's goal asbeing to "broadcast all the youngpeople's music that there is in theworld in an enjoyable, profession-al format with excellent soundquality."

"I don't choose the jingles onLos 40 Principales," he says. "ButI do choose the people whochoose the jingles."

Augusto DelkaderDirector

Cadena SER

Augusto Delkader

Since he took up his present postas Cadena SER director in 1990,Augusto Delkader has been thedriving force behind the moderni-sation of its equipment and pro-gramming systems. "We've got tolearn how to make full use of thetechnological arsenal at our dis-posal," he says.

A graduate in both law andjournalism, Delkader, who is 40,has found the latter studies moreuseful to him in his career. Begin-ning in his hometown, Cadiz, heeventually headed the local news-paper Diario de Cadiz. He wasalso staff member of the defunctdaily Infonnaciones.

Delkader then moved toMadrid and helped found Spain'sleading newspaper El Pais. Hewas the daily's associate directorfor 10 years until its mother com-pany, PRISA, bought a majorityof SER's shares (now 71 %) and

he was appointed the head of theradio's news department in 1988.

As Cadena SER director,Delkader has invested heavily inintroducing digital and satellitetechnology. "Our aim is to contin-ue the hi -tech moves and worktowards a more uniform soundnationwide," he says.

He believes the role of Los 40Principales in the Spanish musicindustry does not receive its duerecognition. "Thanks to our pio-neering efforts, Spanish pop art-ists have found a launching pad."

As for the future of Spanishradio, he believes the key lies inspecialisation and that a generalprogramming format is a thing ofthe past. "Although the Spanishmarket is not that wide to admithighly specialised radio, I thinkour path to the future lies in well -promoted stations with strongidentities and high standards."

Los 40 Principales As Part Of PRISALos 40 Principales is notonly the name of a radioformat, but also a regis-tered trademark whose

philosophy inspires and definesvarious audiovisual products ofthe PRISA group, which has hada majority stake in SER since1985.

PRISA grew out of the nation-al daily El Pais, Spain's leadingnewspaper in both readership andadvertising revenues. In 1985,during its expansion it enlargedits activities and was consolidatedas a multimedia group when itbought 71% of SER.

Los 40 DiversifiesIn a certain sense Los 40 Princi-pales is the flagship of PRISA'smusical product. The name islinked to TV, magazines and con-cert promotion. "Los 40 Princi-pales" is the name of the videoclip programmes broadcast dailyby Canal Plus since September1990. On top of this, there's aspecial chart countdown shbw"40 To 1" on Saturday.

Juan Cueto, director of CanalPlus, never doubted way the Los40 format would translate to TV."The Los 40 Principales belongedto PRISA, the main promoter of

Canal Plus in Spain and wecouldn't afford not to take advan-tage of its trademark name andfive million listeners."

To start the television versionof Los 40 Principales, Juan Cuetocalled in Fernando Salaverri,now musical director of CanalPlus, who had been director ofmusical promotion for the SERnetwork, and general coordinatorof music of the public televisionstation RTVE.

Los 40 On TVSalaverri, who is regarded asRafael Revert's twin brother bythe record industry, is convincedthat the philosophy of the TVprogramme reflects its radiocounterpart acurately.

"We work to make hits. Wechoose the songs and the video -clips which we think people willlike the most, and we repeat themuntil we make them popular," hesays.

After one year "Los 40 Princi-pales" is a hit. Salaverri has con-verted DJs into VJs after arigourous selection processwhich included more than 150auditions and numerous pilot pro-grammes. Today, its dailyaudience hovers around 300.000.

Fernando Salaverri

And yet Salaverri is his own bestcritic. "I would lie if I said I was-n't satisfied with these results. Butwe are still working in thedevelopment of a television for-mat which will satisfy the goalswe set out to achieve at the begin-ning. The working philosophy iscommon to both radio and televi-sion, but the grammar of the twomedia is distinct. We would com-mit a grave error to think thatradio must function just like tele-vision."

With this in mind, Gana' Plus,

together with Los 40 Principales.is organising national competi-tions to select more video jockeysand, in September, will introducesformat changes. The main changewill be an icrease in the propor-tion of Spanish videos.

The main problem thatSalaverri encountered at thebeginning was the lack of clips bySpanish artists. The record com-panies blamed the high produc-tion costs and the lack of TVexposure for not making localvideos, but the industry now has ashowcase for promoting its prod-ucts.

The MoveInto Video

Until now, two internationalvideo clips are broadcast to everyone by a national artist. However,according to surveys undertakenby Canal Plus, the public want atleast half of the output to benational artists.

In order to boost Spanishmusic, and to give the publicwhat it wants, Canal Plus willproduce one video clip per weekthrough the SOGETEL (GeneralSociety of Television), a TV pro-gramme producer in whichPRISA has a majority stake.

Canal Plus will have the rightto premiere all the video clipsproduced by SOGETEL and to bethe only network to broadcastthem for at least two weeks. Afterthis period, all companies mayuse them for promotion on otherTV stations.

These will not be, however,the first productions realised bySOGETEL for Canal Plus. SinceMay of 1990, they have recordedmore than 50 concerts by Spanishgroups, the major part of whichhave already been broadcast in a

"El Gran Musical" is also thename of a bi-weekly musicalmagazine published by Progresa,also owned by PRISA group,whose musical editor is RafaelRevert. Last month, 22 years afterthe first issue, El Gran Musicalwas revamped and expanded itseditorial.

Explains Javier Angulo,editorial director of Progresa,"The magazine is going to main-tain the musical philosophy ofLos 40 Principales, but now we'veredesigned it and added new fea-tures: film, television, adventuretravel, fashion, and events. Music,however, will continue to occupy80% of its pagination."

After 340 issues, the new ElGran Musical was put on sale lastmonth with a printing of 75.000,after an initial investment of Pta30 million (appr. US$300.000).

Concert PromotionAnd More

Apart from its multimediaactivities in the editorial andaudiovisual fields, the Los 40Principales also co-sponsors themajority of concerts taking placein Spain.

Michael Jackson, Madonna,Bruce Springsteen, Prince, PaulMcCartney, the Rolling Stonesand Sting are just some of the art-ists whose concerts in Spain havebeen promoted by Los 40 Princi-pales. The experience of Los 40Principales in the organisationand promotion of concerts hasdeep roots. They began organis-ing events in the early '70s in var-ious Madrid theatres and dis-cotheques, attracting fans whocame to see their favorite artists.

Since then, Los 40 Principales

Paul McCartney with al Joaquin Luqui

has organised and sponsoredmore than 1.000 concertsthroughout Spain. It has alsoworked to promote Spanish, aswell as international, music. Thelast event embarked upon was "ElGran Musical Europeo", a seriesof concerts produced in 1989 byFernando Salaverri, whichtoured the principal capitals ofEurope, combining local groupswith the most famous Spanishpop and rock artists.

But if all this was not enough,PRISA's directors have announ-ced their intention to buy anotherchannel when the governmentgives the green light to cable TV,with the goal of broadcastingmusic all day long. From radioshow to national TV channel,SER and Los 40 Principales havecome a long, long way.

"No other radio network ormedium has so much power andprestige as Los 40," states RafaelGil, managing director ofEMUHispavox. "Although suc-cess can never be guaranteed, if arecord is given widespread air-play on Los 40, the percentagechance of sales success is verymuch higher."

Iiiigo Zabala, WEA market-ing director, considers that overthe past 25 years, "Los 40 Princi-pales has become an indispens-able factor to be borne in mind inthe realisation of any marketingplan in Spain." And for Epic'smarketing director FernandoMuiioz, Los 40 Principales "isthe fundamental basis of the greatmajority of our marketing cam-paigns."

The message is clear-itwould be hard to imagine Spain'srecord and music industry with-out SER's Los 40 Principales,and in particular its head RafaelRevert, oiling the machinery. Orto put it another way, the machin-ery of any record company seek-ing success without co-operatingwith Los 40 would probably soonget rusty.

Total Co-operationEMI/Hispavox's Gil explains,"Our relationship with Los 40 isone of total collaboration. Notonly is Los 40 essential for suc-cessful record sales, but itsaudience is so well made -to -mea-sure that it is relatively easy totarget records accurately."

"It would be hardto imagine Spain'smusic and recordindustry without Los40." - Fernando Murioz

Gil and other EMI/Hispavoxexecutives meet occasionallywith Revert and other Los 40 discjockeys to discuss upcomingreleases. "The dialogue is com-pletely open," says Gil, "and onething I can say without hesitationis that if they say they'll do some-thing, they'll do it. If they committhemselves, they don't messaround."

The opinions of the Los 40people at these meetings is oftenextremely helpful, adds Gil. "Forexample, when we were launch-ing two of our current big acts,Ole Ole and Loco Mia, RafaelRevert immediately jumped onthe idea they were very visualacts, that their image was veryimportant and that their promo-tion would not just be throughradio."

First, Revert made sure they

received exposure in Los 40'steen magazine, La Gran Musical."Then, he got the two bands, plusanother of our successes, Heroesde Silencio, on the summer toursorganised by Los 40 that travelaround towns and cities playinglive," Gil says.

"(Los 40) knowsyoung people haveto be offered newthings." - Inigo Zabala

"This way, potential record -buying clients have a chance tosee the groups live. The summertours in Spain are massive, sothey are the next best thing totelevision," Gil adds. "We have acompany -to -company situationwith Los 40 of mutual involve-ment but not buying and selling."

Support Your LocalTalent

Zabala thinks that "one of themost important contributionsmade by Los 40 Principales hasbeen unconditional support forlocal artists. This has been a wisemove, since it has resulted inyoung people identifying verystrongly with the station."

Jose Maria Camara, manag-ing director BMG, whichincludes RCA and Ariola, says itwould not be possible to make alist of artists whose careers havebenefited from the decisive influ-ence of Los 40 Principales with-out risking some unforgivableomissions.

Zabala believes that the realstrength of Los 40 is its integralpromotion. "Only with Los 40can a marketing plan encompassfour main areas," he explains."You get airplay, exposure in LeGran Musical magazine, TVspace through Los 40 Principaleson Canal Plus, and also a liveconcert sponsored by Los 40."

Mariano de Zfiiiiga, manag-ing director of PolyGram Iberi-Ca, which includes Phonogramand Polydor, says, "Los 40 Prin-cipales reflects the wide accep-tance by young people of thework of a group of professionalmusicians. It is very important forthem, and in turn for us, becauseit gives us a certain orientation."

"Rafael Revertor somebody else from Los 40will often come up with a differ-ent perception to ours on a partic-ular point, and we discuss thematter until we reach an agree-ment. Each case is different; thereis no uniform system."

Clarity of ConceptDe Zuftiga thinks Los 40's mainachievements have been to main-tain a formula that works, and tohave built up a huge listeningpublic of young people who areloyal to Los 40. "This consistencyis a bridge of communicationbetween the public and the indus-try," he adds.

Maria Meyer, marketingdirector of CBS Sony, considersthat "the important thing is thatRafael Revert and Los 40 Princi-pales network seem to have hadtheir concept clear from the start.Add 25 years of hard work andambition, and you end up with apowerful commercial radio struc-ture that has no rival in Spain, orany other European country forthat matter."

She adds, "Los 40 has honeddown the basic Top 40 formula toguarantee. a nationwide coveragethat can virtually be a marketingplan on itself for a major pop act.The coverage is so complete that

a sonL. ,nosen for the playlist isvirtually guaranteed to gain noto-riety among Spanish youth."

"This total coverage allowsthem to create fashions indepen-dent of what's going on in thesales charts around the world, afact proven by the many localacts that have been broken by thenetwork.

Impact on sales"The US singer Martika estab-lished an exceptional workingrelationship with Los 40 duringpromotion of her debut album.Considering a total Europeansales and the size of the Spanishmarket, Martika performed 68%better than in the rest of Europe."

"Although the New Kids OnThe Block never came to Spainfor promotion, their catalogue hasperformed 12% better than in therest of Europe with 240.000 units,and sales of Deacon Blue's lastalbum in this country represented33.6% of total European sales,when the Spanish market normal-ly represents only 8%.

"These cases are clearly tied to the enthusiastic, focused andorganized support offered byRafael Revert and the entire net-work. Los 40 is willing to takerisks to give its public what itwants. It does not rest on its lau-rels."

The Faces Behind The VoicesWhere would a radio station be without that most

important of assets, on -air talent? Los 40 Principales hasno shortage of that.

From PirateTo Principales

Juan Manuel Ortega, known asJuanma, considers himself anold DJ at 24. A ham operator by12, he began broadcasting hisown show. "I compiled my ownchart and launched contests, giv-ing silly little prizes like sand-wiches or breakfasts prepared bymy mother."

After a spell working for pirateradio stations his career with Los40 began in 1986 when he wonthe station's competition to findthe best DJ in Barcelona, hishometown. "I was born in July,1966 - the same month and yearLos 40 was founded," he says,convinced that fate had played apart.

Now based in Madrid, he has adaily afternoon show, as well aspresenting the Top 40 tips and"Rock Over London" on Fri-days. He also has his turn hostingthe TV version of Los 40 onCanal Plus on Wednesdays,while on Saturdays he presentsthe half-hour game show "Aven-tura, Aventura".

To top it all, he lends his voiceto adverts and conducts inter-views live with visiting celebri-ties.

The Fifth Beatle

Joaquin Luqui celebrates 25years with Los 40 Principales thisyear. He is known as the FifthBeatle, "perhaps it's because I

published a book, Los Beatlesque Amo, in the late 1970s aftertheir break-up. I continued to sup-port them despite everything," hesays.

"I started out in Pamplona upnorth until Los 40 head RafaelRevert heard me, liked my boun-

cy style and brought me toMadrid in 1969." They didn'tthink his madcap delivery wouldclick in the capital, but it did. Heuses a more subdued style on hislive weekday evening pro-gramme, "J.L. on FM".

Joaquin Luqui

"My three -minute news flashes,aired four times a day, soundmore like my Pamplona style," hesays. The news -gathering findshim jetting to preview concertsand conduct interviews, be theyin London, Paris or Los Angeles,and he also contributes to SER'smusic magazine El GranMusical.

He is glad to see such a varietyof music in the charts. "It reallymakes me happy to see the songswhich are poles apart in the charts- from Unchained Melody to MCHammer."

No NicknameNecessary

Jordi Casaoliva feels he doesn'tneed a radio pseudonym.

"My surname is so strange thatit sticks to people's minds," helaughs. (Casaoliva means olivehouse). He can be heard over the40 Principales Barcelona stationfrom 10.00 to 14.00 and 21.00 to22.00 hours, Monday to Friday.

He follows the standard Top 40format for the morning pro-

gramme while his evening show,"Pop Life", is more personal. "Iget to play the music I like," hesays. Interviews and music newsare interspersed with his choices."I let my instincts guide me," hesays, declaring that out of 20selected songs, three usuallybecome hits.

Describing himself as a crossbetween Jim Morrison and ArtGarfunkel, he admits to beingcamera -shy. "I'm embarrased toshow myself. That's why I'm onthe radio," he chuckles. "Workingfor Los 40 Principales had alwaysbeen my ultimate goal and here, Iam enjoying it to the fullest."

Non -Stop Action

After trying to keep up withYolanda Valencia for an hour,and watching her broadcast liveon Los 40 Principales in her inim-itable way, you have to stretchthe bounds of imagination tobelieve her when she says, "Youknow, I'm really quite shy andvery normal."

Yolanda Valencia

Yolanda, who is 24, was dis-covered' at the age of 15 by fel-low DJ Abellan when he was onholiday. He told Rafael Revertthat she was a must. As a result,since the age of 17, she has beena favourite SER DJ.

She has three regular slots -adaily Top 40 show, the"Eurochart Hot 100" and a latenight show on Sundays, plus aTV programme. Yolanda says shedoes not know her audience rat -

Welcome To The Jungle

Jose Antonio Abelian is not justthe best know DJ in Spain - hevirtually invented the art. Back in1980 when radio pop programmepresenters were just that - pre-senters - he began screaming onthe air, leaping around the studioand acting crazy.

Jose Antonio Abellan

"But it cost me my job," Abel-ian recalls. "That was in May, andin September Rafael called meback. Now, we're best of friendsand he's like a father to me."

Apart from presenting two ofLos 40's flagship shows - the

new Top 40 on Saturdays, and"La Gran Musical" on Satur-days- every weekday morningAbelian steers an anarchic showcalled "Welcome To The Jungle"on Radio Minuto. Abelian andhis crew of six prepare for theshow starting at 05.00. "I sleepevery day from about 16.00-21.00, a real siesta, and some-times go straight to the studiofrom the discos or a club," Abel -Ian grins.

The New Kid

Nicolas Figueras, plain Nico tohis radio audience, is the new kidon the SER block. Just 17, hejoined Los 40 shortly after his16th birthday.When he was 14, Nico was a DJon two Madrid pirate stations thatno longer exist. At Los 40, he hasthree regular spots, but worksevery day standing in for any-body who is sick or on holiday.

"I was crazy about puttingrecords on the turntable at partiesand kids' discotheques from theage of 12," Nico remembers; "Ionly go to discos for that reason.My mother used to get very angrywith me, but now, of course, she'sreally pleased."

UK Radio: Diary Decision DilemmaBy Jhan Hiber

The destiny of the UK radioscene may well be decided in thenext few months, as the Associa-tion of Independent Radio Con-tractors (AIRC) examines whatratings methodology will be inuse for the next several years.

Will the promise of dozensmore stations on -air, hopefullyprofitable ones, be realized? Canradio grow to more than 2% ofthe UK advertising pie?

Or will radio get bogged downin internal squabbles and short-sightedness that could rendercommercial movement radio aninsignificant curiosity?

Let's examine the timetable forthe vital ratings decision, thensuggest eight key questions orissues those involved may wantto consider.

From Congress ToCountdown

According to AIRC directorBrian White, the process fordeciding what diary to use tomeasure UK radio takes a bigstep June 26, with a hoped -forclimax by the end of the year. Forexample:

June 26, annual AIRCCongress: At that gathering AIRCmembers will be asked toapprove the Radio Joint Aud-ience Research (RAJAR) system- essentially a joint effortbetween AIRC and the BBC -ending their separate ratingsapproaches and combining intoone system to serve all. Whitetold Music & Media he expectsthe AIRC membership willapprove such a combined task. July should see AIRC thenfinalizing specifications for thecombined national/local servicethat seems desired. Tenderswould then go out to companiesinterested in bidding on the pro-ject. According to White, thereare "four of five qualified compa-nies" that have expressed aninterest om tackling the RAJARchallenge. Presumably incumbentRSGB (Research Services ofGreat Britain) is among that num-ber, along with others such as theAmerican giant Arbitron. October would be a likely dead-line for the bids to be received,thus giving each firm three monthsto examine RAJAR's specs anddecide how they'd tackle the mis-sion of rating a potentially quick-ly -growing industry. By December the AIRC wouldmake its decision and announcewhich firm is the lucky winner.Supposedly the new methodologywould take effect in July '92.However, if there were a need itseems likely that date could bepushed back and RSGB could

continue the status quo for a fewmore months.

Between June and Decemberthe countdown to decision will betense. One can imagine the dis-cussions that will ensue as broad-casters, ratings firms and adver-tisers/media buyers try toinfluence the outcome. However,should the diary decision be anenlightened one, the UK radioindustry may look back and markthe date as the beginning of apotential boom.

Key Diary DetailsThose of you focusing on the UKratings scene are really most for-tunate. It's rare that an industrypoised for growth has the chanceto review how it is measured andchange or update the ratings sys-tem to help aid radio's surge. Inthe US it was coincidental thatthe increasing acceptance ofArbitron's diary in the mid -'60scoincided with the stampede toFM radio in the latter part of thatdecade. In this case, there's timeto plan, with the potential resultone that makes for additional andmore profitable stations.

Since creating a new ratingssystem is about the closest a mancan come to experiencing child-birth (and I've been through thisin the US and to some extent, inCanada and New Zealand asthe've evolved their systems andasked for my help), please allowme to offer some perspectives onwhat you may be facing. Since1977 I've been coping withdiaries following my days atArbitron. In case you are new tothinking about the challenges of arevised diary system, here areeight issues you may want toconsider as the countdown ticksaway towards the RAJAR ratingsvendor decision. These are ques-tions I'd like to address toprospective ratings suitors inter-ested in the RAJAR project:

1. What would the diary designlook like? Would it be "closed -end", as has been used, with sta-tions pre -listed and quarter-hoursable to be checked? Or, howabout an "open-ended" designoption? No stations pre -listed, notimes shown on the pages, withlisteners responsible for writingdown the station names and timeslistened. (Some formats, such aseasy listening of soft pop, canbenefit from the open-endeddiary.) Also, high -profile stations(more likely to have top -of -mindrecall) do well in open-endeddiaries. Minor stations, or thosewith smaller marketing budgets,would propably prefer the"closed -end" approach.

2. Who gets the diary? Does

everyone in the home above acertain age have to fill one in(known as a clustered approach)?Or would there be just one diaryper household (non -clustered)?The latter is superior research; theformer is cheaper for the researchfirm to implement. And what isthe minimum age surveyed? Two(as in TV in the US)? Four?Seven (used in Australia and NewZealand)? 10, as in Canada? 12+,as in most US radio? Or perhaps18+; as a new diary -based systemin the US is launching?

There should be nothing magi-cal about the minimum age, otherthan two considerations: Howyoung a person can reliably fill inthe document? And what do theadvertisers want-is there a mar-ket for children's ads on radio?

3. How is the diary placed? Is itpersonally delivered and pickedup, as has been the case in theRSGB system? Or would it be amailed diary, sent to the listenersand supplied with enough returnpostage to speed ease of return?Relying on the mailed approachis less expensive, but hurtsresponse rates.

4. How many diaries will besent out? Sample size is a mostcostly issue for ratings firms anda sometimes -controversial matter.Some formats, especially albumrock, jazz and others with appealto "hip" young males under 35,can suffer unstable ratings. Thisis because often these fellows arenot as keen about the diary, thusless careful in properly fillingthem in and voting for their cho-sen stations. Unless there's anotable sample to compensate forthese and other vagaries, thenumber will swing up/down fromsurvey to survey. Besides causingbroadcasters to mutter in theirbrew, such "wobbles" can alsocause advertisers to regard radioratings with little respect or cred-ibility. Everything else beingequal, the more sample the better.

Ratings To RevenuesThe final four key questions youmay want to focus on have to dowith how you can convert yourratings to revenues. To obtainthat payoff, perhaps these itemsshould be addressed to see howthe ratings suitors would helpyour sales picture:

5. How much qualitative orproduct usage/media consump-tion information can/will beretrieved? In one US system, forexample, over 700 breakouts ofadditional qualitative or mediaconsumption information (radiovs. TV vs. newspaper, for exam-ple) is available. These are

obtained in the diary, then areaccessible via PC computer links.Will the new diary handle thischore and will the vendor allowyou easy and inexpensive accessto the data?

6. What geography will bereported for the various localmarkets? One of the leading bar-riers to radio's revenue growth inthe UK is the hodge-podge ofmarket definitions media buyersmust cope with. While I'm toldthat UK TV and newspapers havegenerally agreed -upon standard-ized market definitions, radio islacking. Defining each station'saudience based on its individualsignal area may be useful in theshort term, but unless AIRCmembers can agree on some TotalSurvey Area, based on universal-ly applied criteria, ad agenciesmay continue to look askance atthe medium. How will the variousratings firms cope with this chal-lenge? Should be fascinating.

7. How will the integrity of theradio ratings be protected? Inmy column of April 27 weaddressed the matter of "diarydistortion!' activities and howthey can undermine an industry'scredibility. It will be most usefulto ask the ratings firms how theywill police-if at all-the activi-ties of their subscribers. If adver-tisers perceive that the quality ofthe ratings can be undermined by"creative" promotions or manipu-lation, then the acceptance ofRAJAR ratings will be nil. Myideas were put forth in the Aprilcolumn edition, and you maywant to review those as startingpoints for your own thoughts(perhaps you already are wayahead of me). At any rate, it willbe vital to your revenue growthfor the ratings company to assure,then follow up on, creating aquality ratings service that standsfor no hanky-panky.

8. What input will stations andad agencies have into the meth-

ods and operation of the suc-cessful ratings bidder? If adagencies and their clients are notgiven a real chance to have inputinto the design and the executionof the ratings-and how they'llbe able to be used after thesweep-radio will not maximiseits revenue potential. How openare the ratings contenders tomeaningful client (station, adver-tiser) input?

At Arbitron they have "adviso-ry councils" with little power. InCanada, however, the Bureau ofBroadcast Measurement(BBM) has all manner of clientsinvolved in major decisions onmethodology and better usage ofthe numbers. Such a cooperativeeffort has paid off for years. Howopen will your ratings providerbe to such clients input?

As the latter part of this .yearunfolds in the UK, the future offormats, fates and (hoped -for) for-tunes will be unfolding as the rat-ings decision is made. Good luck!

Green On RedLittle Things In Life - ChinaSentimental country rock, sung in a suit-ably unsteady voice by "Neil Young Jr."Dan Stuart. The acoustic arrange-ments-brushes, acoustic bass and gui-tars-compliment the song's bitter sweetqualities. Produced by veteran Al Kooper,who's also featured as keyboardist.

Chesney HawkesI'm A Man Not A Boy - ChrysalisGrown-up after only one European smashhit, this new power pop single is, again,tailor-made for EHR.

Whitney HoustonMy Name Is Not Susan - AristaThe new single from the I'm Your BabyTonight album, is a pacey pop/dance trackboasting a snappy chorus.

Nash!Take Me High - KochIntroducing the "quatro", a South Ameri-can snare instrument. Dutch singer/song-

writer Nash seems to have built a bridgebetween both American continents. Thefemale backing singers strengthen thepoppy chorus. Take him high on EHRplaylists.

Siouxsie & The BansheesSuperstition - PolydorThe "Ice -Queen" has always managed tostay with the trends. Her new single, liftedfrom the album Superstition, enters thedance scene. It's produced by the genresmain man, Stephen Haig. the studio wiz-ard behind the Pet Shop Boys and NewOrder.

ALBUMS

Paula AbdulSpellbound - VirginThe track Vibeology probably gives the bestdescription of Abdul's abilities, creatingvibes for the dance floor. It is less poppyand far more a dance album than ForeverYour Girl was. One exception, though isRush Rush, an emotional ballad that entersthe EHR Top 25 at no. 15 this week.

DankoDonke - Mande/IslandThe band's name simply means "dance" inthe Bambara language of Mali. Unlikeother artists within the "world beat dance"genre, their music has enough compact-ness and melody for our European ears totake note. Ex-Zaka Percussion's bass play-er Alain Lecointe and singer Mangala,have found new ways to fall in with west-ern wishes and Kourou-with its remark-able, hot "sun-thesiser" bassline-is mostillustrative in this respect. The a capella-like sound of Kofili is extra commandingthanks to its repetetiveness.

Mystery SlangMystery Slung - VirginIf there's such a thing as "modern blues",then this fits the bill. Mystery Slang is theartist's name of Scottish singer/songwriter-/producer Latif Gardez. His deep darkvocals sound as threatening as the voice ofMatt Johnson of The The, another one-manproject. The man creates his own bluesstyle, not in terms of "12 -bar songs" but inattitude, just like Captain Beefheart didyears ago. It's emotional and compelling.Seven In A Ditch and I'm Mad At You areprime examples of his menacing sounds.

ShakatakBitter Sweet - PolydorNewest outing by the UK jazzy (soft) soulact, who are extremely popular in Japan,won't do injustice to their status with thisrelease. The track Don't Look Back incor-

porates all the usual ingredients: BillSharpe's keyboards and Jill Saward'srestrained vocals. They Call That Coolhowever, is a "hazardous" departure fromthat route via the addition of samples in amodern dance style, resulting in moreoptions for airplay.

Bonnie RaittLuck Of The Draw - CapitolFollow-up to the Grammy awarded Nick OfTime, is again produced by Don Was withRaitt credited as co -producer. It is packedwith rock and soul in a mass of electric(slide) and acoustic guitars. The strong duetwith Austin soulman Delbert McClinton,Good Man, Good Woman, is a cover ver-sion of the Womack & Womack song andhas the power of an EHR knock -out. Thetitle track is a composition by IrishmanPaul Brady, who was also responsible forNot The Only One. Most groovy is her ownCome To Me, with a Stones "Black & Blue"reggae -beat, while One Part Be My Lovermeans ballad time. The inevitable JohnHiatt composition No Business shoulddelight album rock programmers.

Swimming The NileSwimming The Nile - WEAA debut album by the German band whoare masters at writing pleasant pop songswith an early '80s new wave touch.Singer/guitarist Mathis Richter-Reichheimchants in a dramatic voice, reminiscent ofRobert Smith of The Cure. Producer FranzPlasa deserves credit for the ultra -brightsounds of which the acoustic guitar orientat-ed -track With You is a first-rate example.The single The Monkey In Me, as powerfulas any song by EMF or The Farm, haseverything a future dance craze would want.

Rumor And Sigh - CapitolAnother album by the veteran electric folkieRichard Thompson, again in collaborationwith producer Mitchell Froom. And it mustbe said, the album carries both theirimprints. All 14 of Thompson's composi-tions are top -class. Froom provides the songmaterial the warm atmosphere and gives itroom to breathe. Surrounded by the finestsessioneers, like drummers Jim Keltner andMickey Curry and bassist Jerry Scheff, allingredients were in place for a top recordingsession. The first single I Feel So Gooddeserves to be his first (solo) hit.

SPOTLIGHT

TechnotronicThe small Antwerp -based ARS label, distributed by Sony MusicInternational worldwide, have always been very successful with

dance projects. This week, they launch the new album, "Body ToBody" by Technotronic, the follow-up to their first album "Pump

Up The Jam", which reached no. 3 in the European Top 100Albums in 1990. Now fronted by Reggie they are ready to break

their debut record sales (four million copies worldwide).

by Robbert Tilli

Technotronic is the brainchild of Belgianproducer Jo Bogaert, who always seemslucky enough to find talented new singersfor his projects. Bogaert's concepts oftenare launch pads for artists to embark upon

afterwards. His first claim tofame was the 1989 summer hit Pump UpThe Jam, which was also the title of Tech-notronic's first album. Model Felly per-formed in the video, while ManuelaKamosi, a.k.a. Ya Kid K, was the realsinger.

Bogaert has found another giftedvocalist for Technotronic, Reggie (realname Rejane Magloire), one-time singerwith Indeep (Last Night A Deejay SavedMy Life). She is credited as leadsinger, oneight out of the 12 tracks on the newalbum that are all co -written by her. Shealso sings on the first single, which isalready charted in Belgium at no. 16, theUK (12), Ireland (3), Germany (22), Por-tugal (26), Finland (10) and Denmark(13). In the Coca-Cola Eurochart Hot100 Singles it is at no. 13.

The title track is sung by Americanrapper Colt 45, alias Marvin Alexander,who also takes the lead on, what is proba-bly the most "bouncing" vocal track, ColdChillin'.

To make things more confusing,Quadrophonia, another ARS/Clip pro-duction (recently successful in the UKwith their eponymously titled single) arealso featured on the album.

The famous Belgian engineer MichelDierickx recorded and mixed Body ToBody at I.C.P. in Brussels.

Mastermind Bogaert prefers to stay inthe background, organising the sessions.Although he has administrative peoplearound him, he is very much his own man-ager. He says, "I still have complete con-trol over all my activities. Every next stepin my career is planned by myself. What Ido next, and how and when, that's com-pletely up to myself. By the way, what's amanager? The fifth band member, whocan't play a single note? In Belgium we

can't rely on a history in rock of 40 yearslike in the US and the UK. We still have todefine the job description of a manager."

Although Sony Music licenses theARS label for most of the territoriesworldwide, in the Benelux the album isreleased on CNR. Scandinavia is handledby Mega Records, Spain by Max Musicand the US by SBK Records.

As usual on all ARS/Clip Records co -productions in the dance field (anotherexample is Hi-Tek 3) the music on "BodyTo Body" is very accessible, high-classpop/dance material.

Says ARS MD Patrick Busschots,"We do it deliberately, we only want realartists, who can really sing and perform.That is the only way, if you want to workon a long-term base. Craftmanship isrequired, we want our people to take theirbrand seriously. We will not release one-off projects."

Until now, the best markets for Tech-notronic have been the UK, Spain, Ger-many, the US and Brazil. In Spain therewill be TV advertising spots on nationalTVE to coincide with the album release.A special video, including clips, plus frag-ments of an interview with Reggie, will besupplied to stations across Europe forbroadcast. In the UK, Sony Music willrun a national instore display campaigntogether with HMV and the Our Priceretail chain. On top of that, Sony hasfound an interesting new marketing angle,as explained by Sony Music (UK) interna-tional marketing manager Neil Martin."The first album did very well at fitnesscentres and aerobic school classes, so wedecided to sent out a mailing to the headsof such schools, announcing the newalbum. It's just perfect for keeping fit. Canyou imagine a better way to work out,than on the rhythm of Move That Body?"

In June, the Technotronic-crew, featur-ing rapper Einstein, a troup of dancersand of course Reggie, will go on a majorconcert tour to the Far East, visiting Japan,Hong Kong, Singapore and Thailand. InAugust, they will appear at open-air festi-vals in Germany and France.

The chanson genre is still alive and kick-ing with fresh blood flowing in fromartists like Patrick Bruel and Jil Caplan.The latter, together with producer/song-writer/arranger Jay Alanski (of Lio fame)are building up her career, with style.Alanski has been involved in the songwrit-ing process, for all of the 15 songs on hernew album, La Charmeuse De Serpents,the second for Sony Music (released onthe Epic label).

He also guests on the daily programme"The Madhouse Show", introduced by hiscollegue Alex Peroni. Secchi takes care ofa special club -segment in the programme.

He is not only a radio personality, hisname is well established as a producer too.Across Europe many will know him as themixer of international disco hits likeJimmy "Bo" Horne's Across The Floorand Black Box's Medley.

Both songs are included on the debutalbum Da Ya Think I'm Secchi, named afterthe Rod Stewart 1978 single Da Ya ThinkI'm Sexy. While recording the album,which was released in May, he aimed atvariety. The concept of the album-"asmany different styles on one record"-isachieved by using many guest musicians,such as Johnson and MC Miker G.

soulful slow song Ta Voix. Variation isdefinitely the keyword on this delicatealbum. The current hit single Tout C'QuiNous Separe, is an interesting mix of typi-cal chanson and C&W. The slide guitar ofthe very talented Yann Pechin and theharmonica of Baco Mikaelian give thesong a greater emotional depth. Gradually,her success is growing, with 110.000copies sold of the single and 80.000 of thealbum.

Understanding ListenerAudience Segments

The terms "P -1s". lifegroups"! and "clusters", bandied about by

radio researchers and program-mers, are often used interchange-ably and are thought to representbasicaly the same kinds of aud-ience groups when stations planprogramming and marketing stra-tegy. However. it appears thatthere are vast differences amongthese segments of radio listeners.and their data should be looked atand treated quite differently.

P-1 listeners are really parti-sans to one particular station, andbecause there are so many diffe-rences within any one formatarena. these people are station -specific.

Lifegroupers are listeners whoalign themselves with a specificgroup of music artists, and canshre their P- I status among severalstations based on the cross -formatlistening they might do.

Clusters of listeners that aresegmented in true cluster analysisresearch are groups of people withseveral common characteristicswho are segmented according to !

listening behaviour, usage, in-come, group -station sampling, etc. !

Stations that realise the true diffe-rences among these segments of

!

radio audiences will have the !

most success in competitive bat-tles.Courtesy of Radio Watch.

Trend: Stations Drop EL ForSoft AC; Mellow Rock GrowsThe number of easy listening sta-tions defecting to soft AC hasreached record levels in recentmonths. In 1990, 15 stations in thetop 50 US markets fled EL to target

younger audiences as soft AC.Observers feel that the erosion ofEL is as much a function of revenueas ratings. In short, many EL sta-tions had good shares of listening,

Pittman Gets Back To RadioMTV founder Bob Pittman hasgone back to his broadcasting rootsin the radio arena. Having pro-grammed WNBC/New York, hislatest endeavor is the acquisition ofa new FM just outside Hartford,CT. The station will use an alreadyexisting tower in Torrington, whichmay eliminate the process of goingthrough local zoning boards fortheir antenna site. Pittman's part-

ners include actress Susan St.James, her husband Dick Ebersol(respected comedic producer ofNBC -TV's long -running weeklyshow "Saturday Night Live"), andthree others. They will answer tocompany name The Local Girlsand Boys Broadcasting Corpora-tion. Station format is not known,but a music -intensive program isexpected.

even among key 25-54 year -olds,but marketplace perceptions madethe "older" stations harder to sell.

Will new defectors do well withthe change to soft AC? The answerappears to be "yes". Over the pastsix or seven years, most ELs havebeen playing "soft vocals" in theirmix (up to six per hour), and theformat changes have barely beenperceived among listeners. Up untiljust three or four years ago, an ELthat flipped to soft AC also had tochange call letters. Now, that kindof move isn't necessary, especiallywith the change being seen as partof an evolution, and with the "babyboomers" (those born between1943-60) moving into the targetingwindow to replace old-line "older"listeners.

Meanwhile, mellow rock orAC/rock appears to be the latest for-mat craze for researchers and con-sultants trying to build client bases.Bolton Research is promoting itsfinding and development of the for-mat for WMMO/Orlando, andAlan Burns Associates is direct -marketing stations, saying the for-mat is the wave of the '90s. Manyrecognise the pioneer contemporaryrock/AC station to beKRVK/Kansas City (The River).Courtesy of Radio Watch.

The Value ofUsing SchoolsGetting to parents through theirchildren has been part ofMcDonald's overall corporatemarketing strategy since day one.Other firms have followed suit inrecord numbers in the last decade,and now some radio stations areworking their way into householdsby starting with kids at school.Here are some tactics being used:

1. Printing and distributingsevere weather safety guides forclassrooms. These brochures cover"what to do" actions for kids andfamilies during bad storms.

2. Speakers who specialise intalking to children about their fa-vourite songs and how radio sta-tions work. Morningpersonalities/teams and traffic re-porters are key stars to send, asthey never get refused going intoclassrooms.

3. Asking schools to allow a"kids' opinion survey", with resultsto be broadcast on air.

Germany(continued from page 1)

both of which would be com-pletely free of advertising-andfor a German cultural program."

Rau called for the Deutsch-landfunk to be under the directionof pubcaster ZDF with headquar-ters in Cologne.

Rau's comments were backedby the minister president ofSchleswig-Holstein Bjorn Eng-holm, the new head of the politi-cal party SPD. He called forabout a DM5 mark increase inlicence fees in order to "provide a

respectable financial basis for thepublic broadcasters" and stop the"debates over additional advertis-ing privileges for public stations".

WDR GM Friedrich Nowot-tny expressed doubt that the nec-essary vote of all 11 state ministerpresidents for a licence feeincrease of this size could bereached. He instead called for anincrease in ad time.

Said Nowottny, "We [publicstations] need a heavy increase inlicence fees of about the DM5mentioned in order to do our joband fulfill our obligations. Thevoices calling for a complete stop

in advertising in public stationsdon't seem to realize that thismove would have to be coupledwith an additional licence feeincrease of approximatelyDM7.50, and this is completelyunrealistic at this time".

A new study by the WickertInstitute shows that 66% of themales and 87% of the females inGermany are against additionaladvertising on the public stations.

The two day conference wasattended by more than 1.000broadcasters, journalists andpoliticians.

Power(continued from page 1)

songs must be familiar andamong "the public's favourites".That's why Bouneau powers onlyconfirmed hits. "Powering anunknown song is like driving acar at 300 km/hour and realisingafter 3 km that it doesn't havebrakes."

At the UK's Atlantic 252, headof music Paul Kavanagh reports,"Powers get 8-9 plays per day.We don't usually put anythingstraight into power. Normally, weuse low rotation to judge reactionand build familiarity. Heavy rota-tion is a key part of our sound andthe records we put in power arecrucial."

Clive Dickens, head of musicat UK outlet Chiltern Radio,works with a slower primary rota-

tion. He says, "Our A -list recordsget played 3-4 times a day.There's nothing structured aboutthe commitment, but pluggingcan influence the amount of expo-sure, particularly if you haverecords to give away or artistinformation to talk about. Thesmart record companies ask howmany plays a record gets weekly,which is more important thanwhich list it's on."

Over at BRMB FM/Birming-ham, head of music Robin Valkalso works with a slower "A" rota-tion, noting, "Demonstrable localsuccess is crucial. But as impor-tant as what you put into theplaylist is what you decide to keepin specialised rotation in particulartime slots. Four plays a day on ourA -list is the biggest commitmentwe give. We don't emphasise thatit's a powerplay or play it at the

same time every day."Valk concedes that record com-

panies tend to be more pleasedabout add-ons than getting powerairplay because the add can be abreakthrough for a new artist.

Radio Forth/Edinburgh head ofmusic Colin Somerville confess-es, "We will lean towards Scottishbands like Deacon Blue or theSilencers as long as they fit."

Regarding how this music poli-cy is received by labels,Somerville says, "If they identifywith the sound you're trying toachieve and appreciate it, then it'seasier to have a reasonable rela-tionship. It's better to explain yourpolicy so that they can understandit and provide a positive input."This is the first of a two-part series looking at

"A" rotations and powerplays among Eur-

ope's largest markets. Next week, labels give

their views on this aspect of programming.

tual resignation of founder MDMike Shaft, all within a fewmonths.

Although Sunset has beenplagued with ratings and revenueproblems, MD John Darch sayshe is confident the station canweather the storm. "Our saleshave been going up month onmonth, and we expect the rest ofthe year to continue on an upwardtrend. The potential to be prof-itable is there, providing we keepour costs down."

Across town at KFM, whosemusic format reflected the suc-cess of the Manchester musicscene, further finance wasrequired after three months on air.

Worst -hit financially havebeen the small, community -basedstations such as Mellow1557/N.E. Essex, which onlymanaged to come on -air withhelp from Invicta Radio/Kent,while Scottish station, RadioWest Lothian never made it.

Unable to raise the necessaryfinances, the license was returnedto the IBA.

But oldies -station KCBC/-Kettering, which operates as acommercial concern, is proof thatsmall stations can survive.According to MD Lester Cowl-ing, everyone on the station(which has nine full-time staffers)is multi -talented. Cowling him-self is the breakfast show's news-reader.

"Grim but survivable," isCowling's view of KCBC's finan-cial future. "We are managing tokeep our head above water mostmonths, and are certainly oncourse for revised revenue targetsset last September."

The incremental stations wereregarded as an experiment to seewhether small-scale and specifi-cally -targeted stations couldwork. As the Radio Authoritybegins its task of licensing up to300 new stations over the next tenyears, KCBC's Cowling wonders

whether new station areas arebeing drawn too tightly. "A majorcompany like Marks & Spencerreckons it needs a hinterland of250.000 for any of its stores, andit's a similar figure for localnewspaper viability. Any smallerthan that and it's an expensiveway to give a relay to an existingILR station."This is the first of a two-part series looking

at the UK's incremental stations. Next week

M&M will take a look at the stations in

London.

Well over £1 million ofnational money has already been achieved for Kiss by IRS. Kiss hasthe potential to be enormous."

Fausto To Wake Up Monte CarloControversy surrounds top Italian DJ Fausto Terenzis appointmentas the new morning man at Radio Monte Carlo/Italy.

PolyGram Norway MDJoern Johnson perhaps best sumsup 1990, seeing little change inthe market stagnation that hashampered the Norwegian industryand the general Norwegian econo-my for the last few years.

"The mega -hits are not sellingas much as they used to. Once anumber one album could be guar-anteed to do 100.000 units [inNorway]. Today that's probablymore like 40.000.

"What we need is excitingnew repertoire to get people backin the shops and we need to sortout our import problems," hesays.

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 runtime or during specific dayports. Songs in "A" rotation airplay receive more points thanthose in "B" rotation or more limited airplay exposure. Stations ore 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 are still active, although forced off the Top 25 by other songs, mayqualify for "Chartbounds". Songs which have received no new airplay for Iwo consecutive weeks will be deleted from this chart, but may reap-pear with new airplay. In the case of a tie, songs are listed by new adds. 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 ofsongs in °A° and 'B"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 'V rotation yet. In the case of a tie, songs are listed by "A" rotation.

Airplay Action

Michael Bolton remains on topfor the third week, although thedifference between theZucchero/Young duet is diminis-hing. Senzo Una Donna is nowplayed in 14 European marketsand airplay is still increasing inFrance, Holland and Finland.

48% The La Da Dee single is thisweek's top "New Add" leader,an honour shared with PaulaAbdul and Lenny Kravitz.New airplay is reported in Bel-gium, France, Norway and Hol-land.

Compared to the last sixweeks, the chart is livening up asfour new records enter the chart:Paula Abdul, R.E.M., Color MeBadd and Lenny Kravitz. Like-wise, the "Chartbound" listshows a healthy amount of newentries and re-entries.

Together with the Scorpions,Mylene Farmer is mainlandEuropean's most successful artiston EHR at present (if we forgetabout Zucchero for the moment).

The Desenchantee single conti-nues to get good airplay in Ger-many, Denmark and France, andis showing new activity in Hol-land, Italy and Sweden. If thiscontinues, the single has an op-portunity to enter the Top 25.

Another re-entry for Sting.The Italian -language version ofMad About You , Muoio Per Te,is hot in Italy and this, combinedwith continued airplay of the Eng-lish -language single in France,Spain and (to a lesser extent)Germany, is the result of its reap-pearance.
