RADIOTHE FCC(So You Can Understand It)

BY JASON SHRINSKYLAW OFFICES OF STAMBLER & SHRINSKY

REPORT ON RECENT (MARCH) DEVELOPMENTSThe month of March has not produced any earth -shaking FCC

developments but there was still an ample number of rulings whichwarrant your attention in both broadcasting and cable. Among thosewhich will likely affect your day-to-day operations, were the following:I. Annual Financial Reports

We remind all Broadcast Stations that your Annual Financial Reports(FCC Form 324) were due to be filed on April 1, 1975. If you've not yetfiled your Report, please contact your Washington legal rep. so that theymight so advice FCC of the justification, seek an FCC extension, andalso take steps to get it on file as soon as possible.II. FCC's Renewal Actions Pro and Con

A. In an unusual action in this area of growing FCC concern, theCommission designated for hearing the renewal of Station WJAM(Marion, Ala.) for its failure to adequately ascertain the needs andproblems of the area's extensive Black population (41.8 percent) and toprovide responsive past or proposed programming to serve such needsand problems.

B. On the other hand, FCC denied protests against renewals filed byseveral Black and -or other Citizen Groups against Stations WMAR-TV(Baltimore), WTWV (Tupela, Miss.), and 9 Topeka, Kansas Stationswhich had involved the essentially similar charge that the Stations hadfailed to program to demonstrated Black needs and problems, and werediscriminatory in their employment practices. FCC ruled that theirrespective employment levels were within its so-called "zone ofreasonableness," and that their programming served minorities' needsand problems despite not being specifically so created.

C. FCC also denied Petitions by the National Organization of Women(NOW) against the renewals of WABC-TV (New York City) and WRC-

Women involved in the "Women's Movement," and that theydiscriminated against Women. FCC concluded that the Stations' overallprogramming did inform the public on the issues of Women's role insociety, and that their community leaders surveys did include Womeninvolved in that movement.

D. Stations KTLK (Denver, Colo.) and KOAD (Lemoore, Cal.) weregranted one-year renewals for failure to exercise proper managementsupervision over their operations resulting in an unauthorized operatoron duty; improper logging, broadcast of a lottery, etc.

E. A short-term renewal was granted to Station WHBW (Hyde Park,N.Y.) for permitting discriminatory treatment of political candidates,and for tailing to identify itself properly upon commencing operations at6 a.m.

III. New FM Station Granted on Showing of Small Additional Service.The FCC granted a new FM Station at Glenwood Spring, Colo., and

denied a competing application on the basis that one applicant wouldserve all of Glenwood Springs plus 617 additional persons with a firstnighttime service. Furthermore, the losing applicant had misused itsbroadcast facilities as an unauthorized emergency point-to-pointcommunications to contact Station employees.IV. FCC Denies Pre -Sunrise Operation Due to Interference

The FCC denied an application by Station WAIT (Chicago) for 500watt pre -sunrise authorization on the basis that the Station would causeprohibited skywave interference to the Clear Channel Station on thatfrequency.V. Station Sale Denied Due to Multiple Ownership Overlap

An application for assignment or Station WE IC (Charleston, Ill.) wasdismissed as a result of prohibited Im-vm overlap between the Stationand an existing Station already owned by the purchaser in violation ofthe FCC's new Multiple Ownership Rules.VI. Silent Station Operation Terminated by FCC

The FCC deleted the call letters and terminated the operation ofStation WLBS (Centreville, Miss.) on the basis that it had been off -the -air since January 1971, and had failed to submit Annual License Fees,respond to FCC inquiries, or to prosecute its Renewal Application.

VII. Employment of Women and Minority Groups IncreasedThe FCC's Annual Study has revealed that broadcast employment of

Women in 1974 was 25.2 percent, up 2.2 percent from 1972 an 1.2 percentfrom 1973. In addition, Minority Group broadcast employment was 12.3percent, up 2.3 percent from 1972, and .6 percent from 1973.

VIII. FCC Fines Stations for Operational and Technical ViolationsA. FCC fined Station WHVN (Charlotte) $2,500 for failure to file its

Annual Financial Report; for operating with excessive power duringpre -sunrise hours; and for improper entries in its Maintenance Logs.

B. FCC fined Station WR DW (Augusta) $1,000 for broadcast of alottery which required purchase of a $1.00 ticket for a chance to beeligible for an automobile drawing.

C. FCC fined Station KLXA-TV (Fontana, Ca.) $5,000 for the illegalrelocation of its Main Studio outside of the City of its License without theprior FCC approval required in these circumstances.

D. FCC denied reconsideration of a MO forfeiture against StationWMAP (Monroe, N.C.) for operating with excessive power and WGBR

(Goldsboro) $2,500 for violation of the Logging Rules and operation withincorrect power, despite the Station's plea for reduction, insofar as thiswas its first fine in its 36 years of operation.

E. FCC fined and admonished Station KCOP-TV (Los Angeles) $2,000for failure to log as commercial, portions of its program "ChampionshipWrestling," which was also considered to be a program length com-mercial, and so contrary to the public interest.

David Bowie recently shared his secrets with RKO for an extensiveinterview to be aired on the chain's stations. Bowie conducted the in-terview with Paul Drew, Programming Vice President and HarveyMednick, RKO Vice President Program Promotion.

Troubador reportedly due to problems with the club's owner, DougWeston, who is famous for his iron clad contracts. Supposedly Leo'smanager, Adam Faith, and Weston got into a heated argument aboutDoug's standard four return engagement contract that he insisted Leofulfill. The upshot was that Leo and Adam agreed rather than risk afuture shutout in L.A.... The only performer who managed to get outof Weston's grasp was Elton John who is rumored to have paid Weston$25,000 to avoid the mandatory contract. According to Flo & Eddie thecontract can be compared to "Twenty years of servitude and your firstborn son." .. . June or July is slated for a superstar one week charityconcert at The Troubadour with Elton John headlining at $500 ahead . . . Carol Channing called Alice Cooper's manager, Shep Gordon,last week and said she and some friends would love to meet Alice anccould she please have six backstage passes? She got them . . . -

Manhattan Transfer's redheaded singer, Laura Masse told KHJnewsman Bob MaFrison that her name is not pronounced Massey (as inRaymond), but with the -accent on the "E." Bob quipped "as in passe?"to which she rejoined "no, darling as in Class 'A'." The hot group istaping a featured spot on the up and coming Mary Tyler Moore MusicalVariety Special this summer and everything is firmed up except theinking for their own TV series for a possible Fall release. The group doesa great rendition of the pre-war hit "Java Jive" penned by Ben Oaklandwho treated the group to lunch at Los Angeles' Friars Club. He thenescorted them up to his home to review some of his other songs forpossible recording. Some potential snappy ditties include "Beau NightIn Hotchkiss Corners" from the Gay White Revues and "Sidewalks OfCuba" from the 20th Edition of The Cotton Club . .

DISCO DANDIESMonti Rock's party hosted last week by Chelsea Records and RogersCowan at L.A.'s private club, Pips, could have doubled as a Fellini

movie with the guests competing for the most bizarre outfit. CherryVanilla showed up with fire engine red hair,skin tight satin toreadorpants and spiked heels vying with several other tinted ladies who stillcouldn't outshine Monti who greeted his guests dressed in a' 1930's whitesuit, twin floor length ermine stoles, flowing white scarfs topped off witha white felt hat, streams of jewelry and full makeup down to his paintednails. Among the attendees were Bob Crewe, Kenny Knowland, RichardPryor, Robert Blake, Suzanne Pleshette, Andy Kim, Kim Fowley,Gene McDaniels, Dick Griffey, WBLS' Frankie Crocker (who flew infrom New York,) Mr. Disco Marc Simon, KGLH's Rod McGrew, JackAlexander of KEZY, Nigel Olsson and his lovely fiance who were allsmiles and Wes Farrell with reunited wife Tina Sinatra. The happycouple was spotted later dining at the club, holding hands and lookingvery together. The new Disco Tex album played all night long and thedance floor was jammed with dancers. Kudos to Paul Drew who delayeda business trip to attend The Southern California Promotion Men'sUnassociation at Sal's Martonis in L.A. last week. The ever-poised Vice

President of Programming for RKO fielded questions from thepromotion people for an hour handling the meeting with cool candor andexpertise spiced with delightful humor proving again why he's been tops

in his field for the past twenty years . . . For those radio PD's who askedAtlantic for "Sadie" from The Spinners, the label has agreed with youand the single should be in your hands this week . . . The T.V.-shyAretha Franklin will make a rare appearance on the Bob Hope Special

this week (the 17th.) She's currently in The Whitney Studios with the oldpro, Jerry Wexler, finalizing her new album for Atlantic . . . . Althoughthe Stones tour is still not firm, many promoters have set their dates and

A VISIT FROM ROYALTYAs you can see by the picture, R&R was treated to an English invasion

with entire contingent of Queen paying us a visit last week. The group ison the last leg of their six month world wide tour. Their tour com-menced last November and will end in Japan the last of April. The groupdoes plan a little rest and relaxation in Hawaii prior to their eighteenday stint in Japan and then home for a couple of months of "comingdown" before planning their next album and tour. The group startedrecording just over a year ago and you might remember two of theQueen members when they were part of Smile, an English glitter rockgroup. Vocalist Freddie Mercury joined former Smile members,guitarist Brian May and drummer Roger Meddows Taylor, to formQueen along with bassist John Deacon. The group is very excited aboutfinally having a hit single in America with "Killer Queen." Said Mayand Mercury "our success in England was quite quick, but breaking theAmerican scene has been very tough and slow in coming. Our prior tourwith Mott The Hoople exposed us to the American audience, but sincewe were the lead in the act, we weren't able to really show ourselves tofull advantage." Since the group's special lighting and speakerarrangement requires extensive setup, the Hoople tour did not enablethe group to show off their special effects and full range of repertoire."But we're now headlining our own tour and the American audiencefinally gets to see the "true" Queen in action said Mercury. There is apossibility that a new single will be coming off the current album. Thegroup has released "Now I'm Here" in England which was quite suc-cessful, but at this point exactly which cut will be released in the U.S., ifany, is up in the air. The group has some future plans which include alimited tour in the States sometime this September.

RECORD INDUSTRY PROFILE:

Mike Borchetta-IndependentBORN: January 15th

BIRTHPLACE: Westport, Con-necticutSIGN: Capricorn

Mike was heavily into the recordindustry at the tender age ofseventeen writing songs, bookingbands and managing groups. Hedidn't want to be a singer or a

performer; his action was behindthe scenes. "I always knew since I

was fifteen years old that I wanted to' be an executive in the recordbusiness. The first group that I

managed was called Dick Grass AndThe Hoppers. I used to get thembookings in and around Connecticutfor 575 to 5100 a night. I got my in-spiration to become a concertbooker from Bill Lockridge who hadconnections with Bo Diddley. Hepaid Bo $250.00 to perform in a placecalled St. Anthony's Hall. I caughtthe show and it seemed like therewere a million kids there and I

thought what an easy way to makemoney. So I approached Diddley'smanager to book Bo into Westport.Evidently Bo had $50 ripped off himin the previous transaction and hismanager said "look, we got gyppedout of 550. and you'll have to make itup." I figured, hell, with all themoney I'm going to make payhim 5300. So I did and I realized avery nice sum of money. I thoughtthis is easy, I'm going to be rich!

Then I booked in the Solataires,who had "Walking Along," and I

drew about eight people! Nobodyknew the Solataires -- they knew theDiamonds and associated "WalkingAlong" with them. The showbombed and I decided I'd better paycloser attention to this business. I

booked Chuck Willis next who wasquite well known along with Robert8. Johnny, Dee Clark, The Twintonesand some others. But, Chuck Willisdied two days before the show of anulcer operation so that show wentright down the tubes. I think theshow could have stood alone withRobert 8. Johnny but all week longDick Clark had been advertisingthat his show Saturday night (whichwas the night of my concert) wasgoing to feature Robert 8. Johnny. Sothe kids figured that if they weregoing to be on Dick Clark Saturdaynight, they sure as hell weren't goingto be on mine. I called their managerin a panic and he said the show wasgoing to be video taped. I said"what's a video taped?" He ex-plained it, but back in 1958, we didn'tknow from video taping so all thekids stayed home and watchedRobert 8. Johnny on TV.

But my big break came when I

booked one of the biggest shows everto hit Connecticut with Bobby Darin,Frankie Avalon, Lloyd Price, TheBig Bopper, The Chantells, etc. I gotsome financial backing and anotherkid, Danny Capolo, and I put it alltogether. It was a huge success, butafter a couple of other mediocrebookings, I decided to get out andconcentrate on managing andsongwriting. My first song waswritten for Dave "Baby" Cortezcalled "You're Just Right" withDorian Burton who's had many,many hits. While I was booking I hadmet the President of General ArtistsCorporation, which was a talentagency. I ran into him again in NewYork when I got out of school and heoffered me a job in California. Hetold me that he needed aggressiveyoung guys like me and to see a mannamed Ron Beckman out there andhe would give me a job. Well, I

packed my bags thinking, "well,

he's the president of the company;the offer has to be solid. So afterliving for nineteen years in the samehouse I grabbed a plane to LosAngeles and went out to see Beck-man. But he had never heard of meand when I told him the President,Larry Kanag, had sent me he said "Idon't care if Jesus Christ sent you, I

don't need anybody." I asked aboutthe mailroom, but he said "we don'thave any openings." I didn't want toforce the issue by bringing Kanagainto it, so I just decided to pass onthe whole situation.

My next stop was at KDAY. I hadheard Alan Freed on the station. I

had met him in New York and hewas a real sweet guy. He told meIrwin Zucker was looking for some-one and got me an appointment.I talked to Irwin who asked me if I

knew how to write up press releasesand I said "sure." He gave me someinformation on a group and I askedthe guy in the next office, Bud Ostin,"What's a press release?" He askedme if I had ever put notices in thepapers for groups I used to manageand I got the picture right away. So Ibanged out a press release, took itinto Irwin who said "fine, you'rehired." I envisioned $200 a week, buthe offered me $40! I figured well it'sa job and a chance to stay inCalifornia. Working with Irwin waslike going to college. He is a veryunderrated human being. Hehas salted away a ton of money. Hisbusiness, then and now, isPromotion In Motion and hepromotes records and books. I

worked for Irwin for one and a halfyears and I don't think I missed aday. I watched him like a hawk andlearned a great deal.

Ever since I arrived in L.A., I keptlooking at the Capitol Tower andthinking one day that's where I wantto be. Irwin told me "If you want towork for me, fine, but the minute abetter offer comes, take it." Well agood friend of mine, Tommy Davis,who was one of the hottest baseballplayers with the Dodgers, had asummer promotion job with Capitol.He put in a good word for me toWayne Tappon at the Tower. A jobcame open for local promotion inL.A. and I got an interview withWayne. When I walked in Waynesaid "I'm sorry, but I've justdecided to hire someone for the job"and I said "get that's a shamebecause I know I'm the guy youwant. I'm the best record manaround." He loved my attitude. I

was cocky, but I was serious too andwith the good words from Tommy,he decided to hire me. He threw afigure of $250 a week at me plusexpenses. I went crazy going from$40 to $250 a week. I thought it wasunreal.

We started breaking a lot ofrecords at Capitol. I got a call fromNick Venet saying they were goingto sign a group called The Beachboys.I had seen them in San Bernardinoand I told Nick "that's fantastic ....they're dynamite." Their firstrecord sold like crazy. Capitolhadn't seen a record sell like that inyears. Brian Wilson had wanted meto manage the act, but their father,Murray Wilson, made it a conditionthat I quit Capitol which I justcouldn't do for one act. But I gotthem some auditions and took themto GAC and William Morris. Theywere selling, but hadn't really ex-ploded yet. Murray ended upmanaging them. He was crazy, buthe was a hard working guy. They putout their second record called "TenLittle Indians" and it stiffed. KMETplayed it and got no response, so I

told- them not to mass release it. I

was politely told by the Tower tokeep my nose out of their business.

The record came out and it didzero. Brian Wilson came into myoffice in his bluejeans looking like areal surfer. He was very upset overthe single and concerned about whatthey were going to do next. I told himto take anyone of Chuck Berry's oldsongs, like "Sweet Little Sixteen,"and they would have a smash. So theywent in a cut "Sweet Little Sixteen"and called it "Surfin' USA." Theycut it at the Capitol studio, whichwas more geared for GlennGray, and it didn't come off hotenough. So I told Murray to take thekids down to Western Recorders andjust cut the same record and theywould get a better sound, which theydid. Well it sold I don't know howmany millions and it was thebeginning of their tremendous suc-cess. It was wonderful working withthem and I still have the big goldplaque they gave me for my help.That was one of the highpoints of mylife.

I was twenty-one then, a real hotshot, when I was offered the regionaljob at Capitol, but at the last minutethey hired someone with more ex-perience and I was really hurt. I leftthem strictly out of an ego problem.I was making good money and theyoffered to double any other offer thatcame along, but I was bullheadedand young so I went with RCA. Itwas really stupid because my dealat Capitol included a percentage ofall the records sold out of thebranch. So I showed them-Iscrewed myself out of a milliondollars! Right after I left they signedthe Beatles and just about every hotEnglish act around. I then went toRCA who was s hot as a pistol when Icame and for the next two yearsbecame, without a doubt, one of thecoldest labels that ever existed.Even Elvis was in trouble!as the New York office didn't un-derstand me and vice versa. So in1967 I went independent for awhileand then worked for Mercury. I

worked for Bob Surempo who was ahell of a nice guy who eventuallybecame a record producer.

We were hot then, but Bob left thecompany and his replacement and Ijust didn't hit it off. At that point,Russ Regan called me and said "Idon't know if I like you, but I thinkyou should go independent," So I

opened a little office in January of1968 and my first client was a guitarplaying kid I had known at Capitol.He said "I don't have any money topay you yet, but if I hit you'll be onfor life. And this song "Gentle On My

"Homeless Brother:

A Gavin personal pick.A Rudman personal choice of the week.

A record you must listen to.

"Wonderful Baby,' by Don McLean,

On United Artists t /1 Records. Growing.OMCML.XXV United Artists Music and Records Group. Inc

I've known Jeff Wald for severalyears. I met him during hisstruggling years when he proved tome and everyone else that when youbelieve in something, you can makeit happen. Jeff harrassed me fornine months to play the first HelenReddy hit. I was wrong, he wasright. The stories you hear aboutJeff are probably true, but to deal inthe business world you can't alwaysbe a 'nice guy.' The reason for thisinterview is because Jeff is one ofthe few managers that has taken thetime to understand the importanceof radio. He's concerned about radioand how it can and does affect anartist. More important, he hasalways been there for radio eventhough they have not always beenthere on a Helen Reddy record.Some of Jeff's comments are biting,but they are his genuine, concernedthoug his.

-Bob Wilson

JW: Basically one of the reasons I

wanted to do the interview is thatI've been unhappy with certainattitudes in radio that I can seelooking at radio as a whole. Notbeing in radio specifically, but radiobeing an important part of what I doand I feel that radio denigrates itselfand doesn't see itself as importantas it is. And I don't mean in theselling of records which is like asubsidiary part of radio, an im-portant part, but a subsidiary. Thething that bothers me is a lack ofoverview by radio, a lack of a totalpicture of what it is that they'redoing, or a concept, or a plan, andhow to proceed with what they'redoing. I don't think they've reallybegun to measure the effect theyhave. Look at the impact they hadwith the Beatles. Now I don't meanthe Beatles' music, I mean thesociological impact the Beatles hadeverything from hairstyles, todrugs, to religion to everything else.What the Beatles said became very,very important. And changed thesocial feel of this whole country'syouth, which eventually changes thecountry. I don't think they'verealized the impact of some of therecords that they've played,whether it was the San Franciscotrip starting with Scott MacKenziegoing through the hallucinogen drugscene with the Jefferson Airplaneand the rest of them. But radio hasbeen the thing that spreads theculture, because kids don't reallywatch TV. They watch at 1 o'clock inthe morning maybe.

R&R: Because there's nothing onfor them.

JW: There is nothing for them. Wetried to put on prime time TV withHelen. They didn't want Cheech &Chong who we put on their firstprime time shot. The networkexecutives stood there and wanted toknow who Jim Croce was: Theydidn't want to know from thosepeople, they didn't understand that.Sweep up the same old shit. Youcan't make a movie star. There'sonly one female movie star in thebusiness and that's Barbra Steisand.Everybody else is a working actress,sometimes. As far as male, there'sPaul Newman and Bob Redford andSteve McQueen and Clint Eastwood.And that's about it for really malemovie stars and they were made along time ago. And as big a star asthey are, there's no guarantee thattheir pictures will do well. Redfordwas in a turkey, "The Great Gats-by." It's as important that theyhave a good picture as it is that theybe a star. So what I'm saying is thatthe studios are incapable of buildingup movie stars, box office draws ...to me a star is someone that peoplewill pay their money to go and see insomething. That's a star.Everything else is bullshit. Peopledon't shell out the dollars either in amovie theatre ticket or a concertticket or a nightclub ticket or arecord album. I mean, that's thebottom line.

"I've found that when certain artistsgot too busy (for radio) the radio stations

got too busy to play their records..."

THE R&R INTERVIEW

JEFF WALDR&R: Where do you see where

radio can improve that?JW: I think that they should have

an overview in terms of what it is

that they do. Be less conscious on aper record basis, and become moreinto artists. FM did that, but got intotoo many artists and got tooesoteric. Top 40 can combine thebest of all possible worlds. They canremain a mass -appeal media, whichthey have to try to go for as wide ademographic basis as they can.There's an exclusiveness about Top40 radio that I like. In spite ofeverybody saying "longer playlists"... I don't think there's anythingwrong with a playlist of 30 records.First of all, I don't believe that youcan sell records unless you have thatkind of concentrated airplay onthem. That's why Top 40 radio sellsrecords, because you're competingfor flashes of people's attention. Alot of times they're driving a car,they're doing housework or there'ssome other activity they're engagedin while they're listening to theradio. Which is the great thing aboutradio . . . it can be on and keep youcompany, but you don't have towatch it. You don't have to tie up allyour time with it. So to get theirattention, you got a 3 minute recordor whatever, and I like the ex-

clusiveness about that. But I findsometimes that the radio stationsspend more time judging a record as

by Bob Wilsonsuch, and not going by an artist andnot tying in the utilization of thatartist with a personal appearancethat artist is making.

R&R: How many artists todayeven respect a radio station? Andthen where do you cut off where anartist will participate with a radiostation? Will they only participate inthe top 20 markets? What about theguy who's busting a record in asmall market?

JW: Our attitude is we participatewith anybody, basically, who asks.

R&R: But that's got to changesometime. Helen's going to get toobusy doing television and records.

JW: But you know what I found. I

found that when certain artists likeGlen Campbell got too busy, theradio stations got too busy to playtheir records. In other words, whatI started to say, and I've gone aboutit in circular motions, is that radio isthe basis of our power. If HelenReddy was not a large record sellershe would not be a star. She wouldn'tbe a television star, she wouldn't bein a movie, she wouldn't be a concertstar and a nightclub star.Everything came from the record -sales. So I don't want to lose thatsince that's the basis of her power.You can no longer build somebodyas a motion picture star. You can getthem in a hit picture and they can behot in it. Look at Elliot Gould. Hewas hot for 20 minutes and 2 good

pictures and then 8 turkeys. So youcan't do that. You can't buildanybody through nightclubs,because the only nightclubs thatexist are in Las Vegas and in orderto get into Las Vegas you gotta besomebody to begin with. You can'tbuild anybody in concerts becausenobody goes to see you unless youhave a record.

So you can't build an artistthrough it ... you can get them to acertain point if they work. But youcan't make them a star that candraw 10,000 people. So that elimi-nates that. And you can't build themon TV anymore. The woods arefull of yesterday's TV series' heroes.In 4 minutes Sid Caesar was thebiggest TV star in the world, andwould be very happy to get a jobtoday, at anything. And I'm notputting these people down. I'm juststating a simple fact. The only wayto sustain yourself as a star and toemerge ... Elton John is the biggeststar in the world. Period. In any wayyou want to judge a star whether it'sincome, I'm sure that Elton Johnhas the highest income in showbusiness. There's no question aboutthat. Probably equal to what theBeatles and Presley were makingwhen they were hot. Elton John is adraw all over the world at 25,000 seatstadiums. You know what I'msaying. And he did it throughrecords.

R&R: What has he done for radio?JW: What has Elton done for

radio? Given them good stuff toprogram. Good upbeat stuff toprogram. Obviously it's what' he'sdone for radio because if it wasn'tworking for radio they wouldn't playhis records. Now whether or not he'staken the time personally to getinvolved I don't know. He's anEnglish artist, he doesn't live here...

R&R: He just recently did guestspots in San Francisco and LosAngeles.

JW: Well then obviously, and I

know Elton, it's important to himand to John Reid his manager, thatthey maintain their ties with radio.So I'm sure that there's a localstation involved in their concerts. I

think that's very important. I thinkthat the stations should get involvedmore in those aspects. The distur-bing thing has been to me sometimesin relation to radio, and I don't wantto pick a specific city, naturally, andpiss off somebody that's never goingto play a Helen Reddy record again.

But I've gone into "X" city with aconcert with Helen Reddy, and thestation is not playing whatever hercurrent single is. And it's not aquestion that they're not playing itbecause it's not a hit. They'll go on itmaybe the week after we leave, ortwo weeks later, depending on whatthat station's pattern Is for going onrecords. Now if I were a PD in amarket, especially let's say in a

secondary market, let's use SanAntonio for example and I knew aHelen Reddy was coming in and"Delta Dawn" was like 60 on thecharts, or "Leave Me Alone" wasleading the charts, or "AngieBaby," and you could see all thesigns were there for a hit. So youweren't really taking a big risk andthe artist had a track record ... I'dplay that record to death before thatartist came into town.

R&R: You're talking about "showbiz." You're talking about the radiostations becoming involved in show

biz. That's supporting the act, that'sbringing them in, that's doing allthat kind of stuff.

JW: Yeah, they can do it on dif-.erent levels. They can do it by beinga participant in the concert, by beinga sponsor; they can do it throughtheir DJ's. I have always gone out ofmy way, whenever we go into a city,I make sure ifs a disc jockey fromthe Top 40 station hosting that showas an MC. Even if there's not a directtie-in. Sometimes our concerts aredirectly tied -in where WDGY andthe promoter will present HelenReddy, or whatever the stationhappens to be. That's not totallynecessary. When we had our TVshow our announcer was Robert W.Morgan. NBC hit the roof. They got20 guys getting a salary every weekas staff announcers, who, as theysaid, had voices that are familiar tomillions because they've been staffannouncing from 20 years at NBC.And here I come in with Robert W.Morgan who, to them, is an off thewall Top 40 jock. And what theydidn't understand is that I wantedthat audience that listens to Morganand listens to the other radio stars,to tune in on Helen's show.

I wanted to give them a

familiarity since they knew of HelenReddy before television from theirradio. And when somebody listens totheir radio that disc jockey is part ofwhat they hear going into a recordand coming out of a record. So it wasimportant that they hear that on theshow, that was their identificationfactor. The Top 40 voice, the Top 40style of announcing. To me it workedwonderfully, and they would upbeing happy with Morgan at NBC.The same thing with the presen-tation of shows. Since we are acontemporary record act, I wantedother contemporary acts. That'swhy it was more important to haveCheech & Chong than it was to haveJim Nabors. It was more importantto have Jim Croce than it was tohave Ken Berry or Tim Conway.You know what I mean?

R&R: Did they drive you crazy?JW: NBC?R&R: Yeah.JW: They made me absolutely

nuts. I mean, they hated it. I meanthey just fucking hated it. But theproof of the matter is that if you lookat the history of summer shows thatdidn't become series, i.e., MelbaMoore, John Byner, Jerry Reed,most of those artists have gone intooblivion. Helen Reddy left thatsummer show 10 times the star thatshe was when she went .into it. Itdidn't hurt , it helped her. Madeher a bigger draw in concert. That'swhere "Delta Dawn" and "LeaveMe Alone" came from, out of thatshow. It just made her a big star.And the reason being that we gavethe people, especially our audience... the same audience that buys therecords ... we gave them a con-tinuation on TV. They hadsomething in prime time televisionwith the Eagles, and Croce, Cheech& Chong, George Carlin, AlbertBrooks, Robert Klein and all thosepeople that they were getting ontheir records.

R&R: With all the newly -cancelledseries in the 5th week of a newseason, they're already cancelling50 percent of their new shows, hasanybody come to you and asked youto do Helen's show?

JW: Yeah, and we've decided thata series is probably a kiss of death,especially for a recording artist,having watched Glen Campbell andTom Jones and Engelbert Hum-perdink, your sales decline, you

burn it out. So I'm interested in

Helen doing a special or two specialsa year. Probably doing a special andthen maybe a theme special... We'retalking now of doing an animatedchildren's show in the morning usingHelen as a character. Becausethere's no woman animatedcharacter there. There's a BillCosby "Fat Albert" and the

Osmonds have a morning cartoonshow. What I want to do is developsome characters in it .... we'reprobably going to use the ladiesshe's created with "Delta Dawn,""Leave Me Alone" and "AngieBaby," all crazy ladies. But we'regoing to stay contemporary and theguests are going to stay fairlycontemporary and the music isgoing to stay contemporary.

Because TV is going to catch up toradio eventually. What they don'trealize is that the kids that listen tothe radio now, when they get olderaren't going to be tuned to the TVhabit. You and I will because whenwe were kids, TV just came out, soeverybody is my whole neigh-borhood used to come to one apart-ment just to watch the TV with amagnifying glass in front of it. So TVwas a novelty and you got into theTV habit, the viewing habit. Mydaughter, I bet she doesn't watch 3or 4 hours a night and what she doeswatch happens to be the nostalgiashows, "Happy Days" and that. Butshe listens to the radio. That radio ison from the time she gets up in themorning till the time she goes to bedat night. That's what she does. Shelistens to the radio. She's developedher own tastes. She goes out andbuys records, and I can't influenceher tastes. I can't force anybodydown her. I can go in her room and ifshe pulls down a Bobby Shermanposter and David Cassidy goes up, Iknow where that career has gone.Both of them. You know, when

Wald (left) with Capitol's Al Coury

David Cassidy came down and theOsmond Brothers went up, and soon. But I don't say anything to her.Same thing with stations. I knowwhich stations the kids switch to andlisten to and which station's comingon in the marketplace.

R&R: Let me ask you a question ...if you monitor your 12 year old. Howdoes that happen? Is it word ofmouth from school?

JW: Yeah, the kids just know,whatever it is. I don't know how ithappens ... when yOu're a kid ... allthe kids are doing this, and all thekids bought the Stylistics album, youknow what I mean?

R&R: Word of mouth is a tremen-dous factor in selling albums.

JW: Yeah, for example, whenCapitol had Rick Springfieldposters, albums, Tiger Beatmagazine ... she wouldn't hear of it.And she showed her friends and theydidn't care. But the Osmonds theycared about. I didn't have to say toher, hey Bobby Sherman's grossesare down or his record sales aredown, cause one day she came andput up a David Cassidy poster. I

mean, they're the ones responsiblefor some of these sales and grossesbeing down. When they turn off ...they turn off. You can see what'sgoing to last by the quantity,whether or not the kid goes out andbuys a single and sometimes analbum. I don't want my kid buyingsingles. She buys albums. I neverbought a single in my life.

R&R: But that's very strange.Your success is predicated on singlesales.

JW: Definitely. You can't find abetter sales tool than a single. A lotof people can't afford an album. Anda lot of people just want to hear theone track, and they're not interestedin the rest and that's fine to. Maybeshe had but one or two singles. She'sbought some black singles, I shouldmention that. She likes the Stylisticsand the O'Jays.

R&R: Have you ever tried tomonitor the kids? That would beinteresting.

JW: Yeah, I play her Helen'srecords before I ever decide on asingle. If she really dislikes a

record, a single, I won't put it out. I

mean she loved "Angie Baby." Shejust loved "Angie Baby." And that'svery important to me. If that kidhates it ... she's just a typical 12 yearold kid.

R&R: How does Helen feel aboutworking with radio?

JW: Helen comes from a differentbackground. She's from Australiawhere they work hard. Showbusiness is just not easy. In order tomake a living in Australia, you haveto get up in the morning and do acommercial, and then play to awomen's luncheon at noon, and thenin the afternoon do a network TVshow you get $50-$100 for, and atnight work two nightclubs. Youknow what I'm saying. So Helen

doesn't mind working. I -thinkpersonal appearances are an in-tegral part of selling records. So westay on the road farily frequentlygetting at least to the major citiesonce a year, and the secondaries orwhatever ... going to a Wichita or aSan Antonio or to an Albuquerque ...every 18 months or 2 years. Wecompleted a trip coming the firstweek in December in Seattle,Portland and Denver. Now while wewere there, we did station phoners,interviews, whatever they wanted todo, because I'm all for that. So shewill call a KSLQ and wish them aHappy Birthday or she will call aProgram Director and do a slug forthe station, or I make sure that alocal jock is the MC when we go inand do a concert in that area.

You know she went in and did adinner for Rick Sklar. She did thedinner for Rick Sklar, not cause youcan get WABC to play a record,cause you can't. He's going to play itif he likes it and he thinks irs a hitand that's it. But it was importantthat what he was doing was ad-dressing a conference of broad-casters that covered the full spec-trum of radio, a radio symposium,and there were about 1100 radioexecutives there. And Rick was thehost. And I think this was the firsttime that somebody from a Top 40station, and granted it's the mostimportant Top 40 station, can runthis thing for the rest of radio. So itwas important that the rest of thesebroadcasters see a legitimacy in thepeople that these radio stations havespawned, like a Helen Reddy.

To see that there's a legitimatetalent, that there's some degree ofintelligence, that not everybody isout there gang -banging groupies anddoing that. There are other sides tothe rock & roll business. There issome seriousness. And Elton John isa very serious person about thismusic. And Neil Diamond takes hiscomposing very very seriously. JoniMitchell takes her composing veryseriously. And they have somethingto say for the most part. Whetherwhat they say is presented as lightcomedy like in "Big Yellow Taxi"when Joni is making a statementabout ecology; or is presented in ahard -rock form like Graham Nashwith "Chicago" or Neil Young withthe "Ohio" record or it's a

documentation like Joni with the"Woodstock" record .... all thesethings have something to say. NowHelen has had an attitude or a themewith her records with women. Now Idon't say that radio has to be a socialforum. Radio's job is to entertain.

R&R: Do you consider Helen asuperstar right now?

JW: Yes, in so much as that she'sall media, has a very recognizableface, and an identity as a humanbeing, an identity as an artist. She'snot faceless.

R&R: You also may be right in thefact that so many radio stationswent on "Angie Baby" right away.Just like an Elton John record. Theyrecognized a new Helen Reddy, goodrecord, and went right on it.

JW: You know, I'm in love withthe record. It's got that kind of in-terest like who did Bobbi Gentrythrow over the Talahassee bridge, orthe "Night The Lights Went Out InGeorgia" ... irs got that kind ofinterest. We're thinking of doingsome sort of a contest with the mostoriginal idea of what happened to thekid in the radio, where did he go,who is her secret lover, that kind of atrip. It's an off-the-wall song. It's anatural record. We have not hadnatural records. "I Am Woman"was not a natural record. I wouldsay to myself, knowing a lot of theprogram directors around thecountry, that it would definitely notbe high on their list when it came outof records they were dying to play.That particular record was actuallyforced in a great measure by thepublic.

THE MOVEMENT ON THIS CHART REFLECTS WEEKLY AIRPLAYAND IN NO WAY ATTEMPTS TO FABRICATE A TREND

FM RockRadioBY MIKE HARRISON

The relationship between AlbumOriented Rock Radio and the recordpromoters has always been a closeand productive one. Large orlimitless playlists, an audience withan unlimited appetite for Rockrelated activity, and open unjadedprogrammers have set the stage fora mutually beneficial mode ofoperation. Many of today's Nationalrecord execs started on the road tosuccess by hanging out as younglocal men with the all night jocks at -Progressive stations back in the late'60s.

It is refreshing for programmersto deal with promoters who have areal interest in music and more thana layman's knowledge of broad-casting. It is the smart recordperson who familiarizes him -herselfwith the format, mechanics, andtastes of each and every stationcontacted before pushing product.

It was with a degree of skepticismthat I assessed the success potentialof a recent promotion at KNAC FMin Long Beach, when I first heard itwas going to take place. For thethird year in a row, some thirtyrecord promoters, who service thestation regularly, were invited tobecome guest disk jockies on April 1and 2 for KNAC's annual "AprilFool's" special. Each was given onehour to play and say anything at all.The only restriction being that theycouldn't play their own product.

Needless to say, I was quitehonored when Program DirectorRon McCoy invited me to act asJudge in this marathon of mayhemand select winners in the categoriesof "Most Together," "MostHumorous," and "Most Far Out." I

spent all day and night Saturdaylistening to telescoped airchecks ofthe entire two-day oddity.

Before I go further, let me statethat my skepticism in the wholeaffair stemmed from my own"broadcasters" preoccupation withradio technique and profes-sionalism. So what I had to do,in order to Judge the thing fairlyand objectively, was to forgeteverything I know about radio andapproach it as a regular listener,who did not know the people in-volved, nor anything else involved.Suppose I was a taxi driver, cruisingaround Long Beach, listening to myfavorite station.

Let me tell you, that was some ofContinued on page 32

COUNTRY ALBUMSTop reported cuts from albums include:

GLASER BROTHERS (MGM): Velvet Wall PaperC. W. MC CALL (MGM): "Four Wheel Drive" and "Classified."STATLER BROTHERS (Mercury): "So Mary Could Make It Home."DOLLY PARTON (RCA): "Only Hand You'll Ever Need"EMMY LOU HARRIS (WB): "Bottle Let Me Down" (Her next single).LORETTA LYNN (MCA): "Jimmy On My Mind."BRENDA LEE (MCA): "Still."MICKEY GILLEY (Playboy): "I'm Moving On"JERRY JORDAN (MCA): "Phone Call From God."

MICKEY GILLEY"Mickey's Movin' On" (Playboy)

The title of this album tells the wholestory ... Gilley is "movin' on" to evenbetter sound. He expands his alreadyversatile style with a fine blend ofmusical highlights. I should say muchof this album is a "Killer" becauseGilley makes fine use of the "Jerry LeeLewis" arrangements on some cuts.Particularly strong cuts: "I'm MovingOn," check out the fine fiddle and pianobridge on this one; "You'll NeverKnow," a nice programming cut;"How I Love Them Old Songs," strongproduction cut, with a sing -a -long flairto it; "Pen &Paper," a tune written bythe very talented producer of thisalbum, EDDIE KILROY; "HonkyTonk Wine," cookin' country at it'sbest; and you'll find a very strongarrangement on "In A Shanty In OldShanty Town."

EDDIE ARNOLD"The World Of Eddie Arnold" (MGM)

The master of the country balladgives us more in the "Eddie Arnold"tradition. The total album was not asstrong as I hoped, but Arnold continuesto put out some quality tracks worthsome spins. Top cuts include: "RedRoses For A Blue Lady," a pop stan-dard which could easily becomeanother country classic for Arnold;"Nearer My Love To You," from themotion picture "Framed." This cut is agood medium tempo ballad. Alsostrong: "The Great Mail Robbery," arecut of the mid -chart hit of Rex Allen,Jr., good lyric content; "Still LovingYou," a very tasty side sure to getmany spins and, finally, "Middle of AMemory," is worth lending an ear forpossible play.

PROFILE: Gary Paxton has done it all. (almost) Hebecame a legend on the pop -rock era in American music inthe late fifties and sixties, he moved to Nashville five yearsago, has long since become one of the busiest, most recordedsongwriters, while still collecting royalties on his poporiginals ("Alley Oop," "Monster Mash," etc) In the pasttwo years alone he's had top ten number 1 hits with RoyClark, Don Gibson, and his "Happy Anniversary," recordedby Slim Whitman, was voted the top country song of the yearin Great Britain, 1974, Slim is Queen Elizabeth's favoritesinger and Slim will make a command performance thisyear. Melba Montgomery's current is Gary's, David Roger'snew one is Gary's, he's into gospel songwriting andproducing, with the Blackwood Singers and the Sammy HallSingers. Nobody knows about his activities as sideman,producer, arranger, writer, artist (he just signed a newcontract, Chet Atkins will produce him), and his Gary S.Paton Singers did all the background vocal work on the short-lived "Music Country" TV series. And we didn't evenmention the fact that he is a reformed drug addict, etc., etc.

Why limit the dimension of appeal tolabeling it as 'something,' as if that's all it could ever be?"(Rosemary Clooney, when asked who's country, who's pop,etc.) . . . "I released 'Let Me Be There' to country stationsfirst because I thought it would be easier to get airplay oncountry than top 40 because of the limited playlist in rock."(Al Gallico about Olivia's first American recordrelease) . . .

Continued from page 22the most entertaining and in-formative radio that I've heard in along time. The amount ofpreparation, honesty, and downrightcommunication that these peoplebrought to the radio, turned the lighton a whole dimension of thisbusiness that is often overlooked inan effort to program for otherprogrammers or dismissed as nolonger working.

As cliched as it sounds, the choicewas difficult because everyone wasgood in different ways. However,these are the winners:

R&R COUNTRY HOTLINE:(213) 466-0954 COUNTRY JIM DUNCAN/Editor

Jonathan E. Fricke is GeneralManager of Warner Bros. RecordsCountry Division in Nashville. He isresponsible for Nashville's overalloperation, working directly withAndy Wickham, Director of theCountry Operation. Andy's office isat Warner Bros. main headquartersin Burbank, California. In ourNashville office are ThomasWilliams, National Sales Director;Chuck Flood, National PromotionDirector; Edward Thomas andAnita Ball, Assistant Promotion,Carolyn Baker, Publicity and HyltonHawkins, CommunicationsEngineer.

9R&R: Since you came from radio

to records let's get some backgroundinformation: How did you start inradio?

FRICKE: Jack, I started when I

was going to Baylor University. Myroommate was a disc jockey at alocal station that's no longer on theair. The station was in such a poorfinancial condition there were onlytwo employees; my roommate andthe General Manager, who was alsoon the air and the salesman. It didn'teven have an AP or UPI machine.All the newscasts when given wereread from the newspaper. One daywhile bringing my roommatesomething to eat, he received aphone call that President Kennedyhad been assassinated in Dallas. Heimmediately made theannouncement over the air thatreportedly Kennedy was shot.

Then the phone calls started;people saying it's bad enough wejoke about news, but that wasn'tsomething to joke about. In order toverify the story he asked that I takeover the control board. Since I hadbeen in the studio many times withhim it was nothing new. The GeneralManager heard me on the air, droveto the studio and offered me a job.Less than three months later I washired by WPOP in Hartford, Ct.

During the next few years I

worked in rock radio except forabout a year when I worked for JayHoffer and Manning Slater at KRAKin Sacramento. I didn't really startin Country music until I finallydecided to complete my collegeeducation. After finding that WestTexas University was about theleast expensive college to attend, I

moved to Amarillo, Texas, andenrolled. Then I applied for work atKPUR, a local rock station and washired as News Director. However,school hours and work conflictedand since there was not an openingfor an announcer, I started applyingat other radio stations in Amarillo.The first of which was KDJW andfortunately, I was hired. About twomonths after I was at KDJW,Country station, Paul Hull wasbrought in as General Manager.Paul asked me to assume theprogramming of the radio station.At that time we were No. 6 in an 8 -

station market, it would seemlogical that Country music should bestronger in Texas than a couple ofrockers, MOR and good musicstations. Ratings were only takenonce a year so it gave us time to puta game plan together. It worked andwe became No. 1, even with teens.This is how the Constant Countryformat was developed, Initiated andrefined. The Alton organizationtransferred me from KDJW toKBUY in Ft. Worth as OperationsManager. The Constant Countryformat was successfully utilizedonce again.

Shortly after this time Scripps.Howard decided to turn WMC inMemphis Country. Dean Osmundsonasked me to be the OperationsManager. Through Dean's belief andthe Constant Country format WMC

Vf/B's Jonathan Fricke

became No. 1 in a matter of monthsand I was fortunate enough toreceive the Billboard ProgramDirector of the Year Award. I thenrejoined the Walton organization tobe the Operations Manager of K FOXin Los Angeles. While In Californiamet Bob Wilson who asked that I bethe Country Editor for Radio &Records which opened a newdimension In my career. It was alsoat this time that I met AndyWickham, who heads the entireCountry Music Division for WarnerBros. Records. We discussed theproblems of record companiestrying to enter the field of Countrymusic.

R&R: Well, what were some of theproblems you discussed?

FRICKE: Questions like why arevery few record companiessuccessful with Country music ascompared to other forms of music;to questions as to what is Countrymusic?

R&R: Did you decide whatCountry music was?

FRICKE: Yes, we decidedeverybody has their own definitionbut perhaps Andy and I could comeup with a Country sound for WarnerBros. that would satisfy the majorityof stations programming Country.

R&R: Let's go back to yourstatement about why there are sofew successful companies inCountry music.

FRICKE: Well, purelyspeculating, I think some companiestry to enter the field with littleinvolvement or concern from thecorporate heads. They think theycan run it like a Pop division; or buytheir way into Country . . . or havethe attitude "Well, we have aNashville office, let's see what theycan do." Rather than say, "Now weare exploring a new field, what canwe do to assist our Nashville office."

Actually when a new companyopens an office in Nashville It's likeentering a brand new field. I thinkyou have to learn about Countrymusic as Nashville sees It; meaninghow it's produced, how It's played,how the people think. You have tostudy the companies that have beensuccessful and attempt to find outthe reasons why. Patterning yourbasic operation upon the successful

principles the other companies haveutilized plus adding a few innovativeideas, a foundation for a soundoperation is laid. A company has tolearn from Nashville. A neophytecan't tell a pro how to do it.

R&R: Do any of these problemsyou mention exist with WarnerBros.?

FRICKE: No, not that I know of.With such a new operation it'sdifficult to get all the wheels turningat the same time and in the samedirection; however, the people thatour office works with on the WestCoast are real pros. They'reprobably a few somewhere in theorganization that don't understandthe operation of Country music butthey are trying to learn. Actually,we all are still learning. But day today decision makers are concernedand involved. As a matter of fact,the head of National Sales of all ofWarner Bros. product, Lou Dennis,is the one that pointed out thepossibility of purchasing the"Mathilda" master from Houston.Ed Rosenblatt, Vice President ofWarner Bros. is totally involved anddedicated to making the division asuccess. We have a weeklyconference call with the RegionalMarketing Managers discussingways to better improve our Countryproduct and service. Warner Bros.now services over 1300 Countryradio stations with product. Plus,when day-to-day decisions must bemade at Burbank, Andy Wickham isthere.

R&R: It must be working sinceWarner Bros. seems to be makingsuch a quick start in 1975. Do youplan to be adding new artists?

FRICKE: Are you looking for alabel?

R&R: No, but I do have a couple ofmasters for you to listen to In yourspare time. Seriously, are youseeking new product?

FRICKE: Warner Bros. is alwayslooking. You never know where youare going to find your next majorartist. Andy and I continually listento tapes and masters and discussthem daily on the telephone.

R&R: How do you differ inreviewing a record now as opposedto wNen you were reviewing a recordto play on the radio station.

FRICKE: Well, to answer that I'dhave to explain my concept oftoday's type of programming onCountry radio stations. Rock radioas far back as you want to go hasalways had a leader, such asMcLendon, Bill Drake, Paul Drew,etc. Whether or not one agreed withthese people or their methods ofoperations, they still weresuccessful. Many people patternedtheir programming after their Ideasand philosophies. On the other hand,Country radio seemed to start as,"Well, everything else has failed,let's try Country." It was usuallyyour poorest station in the market. Ifyou wanted to hear Country musicthey were the only baligame in town.They usually didn't worry too muchabout the quality of programming.It's still true in many marketstoday; however, that's started tochange. Country music is becominga very competitive and profitableform of programming. However, thesuccessful stations formats are notalways the same. Two stations in theDallas market, KBOX and WBAPboth program Country music, bothare successful, but sound entirelydifferent. In other words, there's noindividual leader or spokesman inCountry music as there has been inrock.

R&R: How does this relate tomusic?

FRICKE: Since there Is no trendleader In Country one station maylike the traditional sound of Countrywhile another prefers the moremodern, so releasing a record to aCountry station is made moredifficult by not knowing what type ofCountry records the station willprogram. When we review a recordnow we try to find one that willsatisfy and fulfill the sound themajority of stations are looking for.

R&R : Now that you are talking toProgram Directors as a recordcompany executive, do you findthem giving the same answers asyou gave as a programmer?

FRICKE: Yes. That's why I haveChuck Flood make the phone calls soI don't have to hear them ... notreally. However, I do find thatProgram Directors are easy to talkto, generally will listen to your

record and discuss their feelingsabout the record with you. If youdon't hype a radio station, butsupply them with facts, theyrespond. Most Program Directorsthat don't like a particular recordwhen it's released are open mindedenough to give the record a chancewhen you are able to show them thatit's a legitimate song.R&R: I've often heard it said thereisn't product in the market. Why dorecord companies seem to havedifficulty getting the product out?FRICKE: I believe Warner Bros.

has the best distribution in theworld. If we have to get product out,we could have it there in less than 24hours. However, our problem isfinding out what it means when aradio station adds a record.

R&R: Well, doesn't it mean it getsexposure through being played?

FRICKE: That's right, Jack;however, if I bought 12 commercialsa day at a radio station I would knowthat my product was being exposedon the average of once every twohours. However, if a record is addedto a radio station I don't know howoften our product is exposed. If therecord is just added to the list andthe disc jockey decides when it'splayed it may never be exposed. Butwhen a station can tell us that it'sreceiving "X" amount of play perday we know how many pieces to putinto the market. For example whenKCKC in San Bernardino goes on arecord, we know exactly how manypieces to put in the market andwhere to place them because weknow that when Bob Mitchell adds arecord we are going to receive acertain amount of airplay The sameis true for WEEP or WMC or, I'dbetter quit here because I'll leavesomebody out if I keep going withthe list and I'll get some crank phonecalls.

R&R: Won't they tell you howoften they play a record if you askthem?

FRICKE: Some yes, but their playlists are so long that unless yourrecord is in the top it's rarelyplayed. A record buyer won't rack arecord that is not receivingsufficient airplay, therefore, youhave to wait for the consumer towalk in and ask for it. Some stationsare trying to protect their formatand won't tell you how it is beingrotated. Some stations let the discjockey choose the records from theplaylist. If their surveys are basedon the trades, this means a recordcan theoretically be added and go toNo. 1 and never be played. Alsosome markets will not tell you therecord shops they check for sales forwhatever reason they may have.However, this hurts a recordcompany because there may beproduct in the market but not in thestore or shops that radio station ischecking that week.

R&R: Well, Jon did you as a

programmer, give this informationout to record companies?

FRICKE: No, but sitting on theopposite side of the desk I can seewhy this information Is vital. One ofthe best, most respectedprogrammers In the industry Is BobMitchell in San Bernardino. Thereason a lot of record companies keyon KCKC as a breakout point Isbecause they know that Bob willcheck record stores, requests andjukebox plays to tabulate his survey.He also will talk to the recordcompanies and explain his findingsand give his honest opinon about arecord. His playlist Is relativelyshort and you know that your recordwill be exposed.

"Jericho" Joni Mitchell ... flipside "Carey" is also getting some play. "This Time" Pat Upton,"Blanket On The Ground" Billy Jo Spears...a number onecountry record is showing signs of crossing. "Your Love" PaulRevere & The Raiders, "If I Could Love You" Johnnie Maya,"The Way We Were - Try To Remember" Gladys Knight & ThePips.

RECORDINDUSTRY NOTES

Continued from page 16A new Rolling Stones album will be coming out in May which is the

final commitment to Alan Klein and ABCKO. It will be on the RollingStones label with Atlantic distributing, but Klein will distribute thetapes. The Lp contains previously recorded material, but Jagger has re-worked some of it ... Papa John Creach has signed with Buddah andwill be touring with the Jefferson Starship for the next six weeks. Hisfirst album for the label should be out in early June ... The new Warsingle is "Why Can't We Be Friends" from the album of the samename ... Emmy Lou Harris is fast becoming the "in" performer forthe superstars. Her San Francisco cdncert got rave reviews fromeveryone which is highly unusual for the usually cold andultrasophisticates of S.F. rock society. CSN8Y, Commander Cody andThe Burrito Brothers went on stage with her and Graham Nash was soenthralled that he came to L.A. with her to see her at the Palomino clublast week. Other Emmy Lou admirers include Linda Ronstadt, JoniMitchell and Bob Dylan to name a few. Gapitol Records has picked upBritish Rock group Sweet whose first album for them will be"Desolation Boulevard" which features the groups international hit"Ballroom Blitz" to be released in May ...

FM RockRadio

Continued from page 32MOST TOGETHER: Marty

Goldrod (Arista). Marty soundedlike the best jocks of the early dayswho used to relate interesting, andeasy to identify with, personal ex-periences with a tasty blend ofmusic.

MOST HUMOROUS: TonyRichland (Independent). Assuminghis alter ego of Shadow W. Diamond,Tony did a quick lipped parody ofevery jiver ever to scream hislarynx out of your woofers andplayed a chronological history of"Punk Rock."

MOST FAR OUT: Tie between theteam of Steve Resnick and SandyHorn (ABC) and Jan Basham(ABM). Sandy manned the horn inthe studio inviting listeners to try to"Stump Steve" who was manninghis turntable at home in Burbank.Listeners would pick any hit singleof the past and Steve would get it onthe turntable within seconds. He justhappens to have a categorizedlibrary of EVERY record evercharted by Billboard. Everybodywas plugged into the air and thewhole thing came off wildly smooth.Jan also wins in the "Far Out"category because she was totallyherself on the radio and she Is prettyfar out.

HONORABLE MENTION: FredMancuso (Chysalis) and DonaldHarrison Whittemore III. (WarnerSpector). Fred played the keyrecords that he's promoted for othercompanies over the years andprovided insight Into the recordbusiness In an entertaining way. Donwas just plain Indescribably weirdand it sounded good, at the late hourhe was on.

Sometimes It Is the human error,or perhaps, human expressiveachievement that can delight andcaptivate an audience. That Is what

La listener, got out of the KNAC FMexperiment to put down the viabilityof this concept in radio just becausereally good PEOPLE are hard tofind is to create a universally safeand comfortable STANDARDIZEDMEDIOCRITY. It may work ... butit's not the answer.

My praises go to Ron McCoy, thehard working staff of KNAC, and abunch of record promoters who hada holiday. They must have made alot of lucky Long Beach listenershappy.

BorchettaContinued from page 16

Mind" started breaking and GlenCampbell has been with me eversince. When his records come out,

I

really bust my butt on them becausehe's a very special person tome. Russ Regan was my secondclient who helped me with some actson Uni. He's a great guy. I got MortyWax in New York and through him Ipicked up Barbra Streisand.

Well I got lucky after that. I helpedbreak the. Maureen McGovernrecord "The Morning After,"Tommy Roe's "Dizzy," JohnnyNash's "I Can See Clearly Now" andThe Ventures "Hawaii Five -O." I

am now fortunate to have a steadyclientele that includes my wifeRebecca Lynn, Marvin Hamlish,Theresa Brewer, Neil Sedaka,Famous and 20th Century Music,etc. Most people use promotion as astepping stone, but ever since mydays with Irwin Zucker I knew thatIndependent promotion was where Itwas at for me eventually. I don'ttake on a lot of clients as I like tomaintain a personal touch with notonly the artists, but with thestations as well. I really feel that mysuccess in my early days at Capitoland now have come through mycatering to the artists. I have alwaystreated the artist like a king and Ialways treat my clients thatrepresent the artists on a personalone-to-one relationship.
