BE CAREFUL OF WHAT YOU AIR. . . Just weeks after radio financial talk show host Sonny Bloch was named in a class- action lawsuit against a coin dealer who walked away with thousands of dollars from listeners of his show, he's being sued again. According to New York Newsday, NationWide Wireless Corp., a wireless cable television company who advertised on his show, took listeners for $3.5 million. Newsday says the suit alleges "Bloch stated [on the air] that he had personally conducted adequate due diligence. . ." Bloch told Newsday in the article "we certainly aren't responsible for our sponsors." Buckley Broadcasting Corp.'s WOR, New York, Bloch's flagship station, is also named in the suit. The Utah Department of Commerce is threatening to hold broadcasters liable for listeners losses from advertised investment scams. See page 8 for details.

BETTER LATE THAN NEVER -- SNYDER RETURNS TO RADIO. Tom Snyder returns to the late night radio airwaves partnered with New York radio veteran Elliott Forrest as CBS launches "The Late Late Radio Show with Tom Snyder & Elliott Forrest," a three - hour talk block that features the TV simulcast of Snyder's "The Late Late Show." Snyder's simulcast will air from 12:37 to 1:37 a.m., sandwiched between Forrest's talk block from 11 p.m. to 2 a.m. The show will focus on interviews with entertainment personalities, as well as banter between Snyder and Forrest during the non -simulcast hour.

WASHINGTON THIS WEER The Commission has denied David Popkin's petition for reconsideration of its Order which amended the rules to require that FCC filings must utilize at least a 12- point type, double spaced, and margins set so the printed material does not exceed 6 1/2" by 9 1/2 ". Popkin contended that the requirements would preclude the use of a standard typewriter and many computer word processing programs do not provide for the control of the size of the typefaces used. The Commission said it found no merit in the contentions and that no one had filed in support of his claims.

Following the recent FCC unveiling of the new Emergency Alert System (EAS), which uses Radio Broadcast Data Systems (RBDS) technology to transmit messages, the Electronic Industries Association's Consumer Electronics Group announced it will provide up to $500,000 to promote RBDS to the American public. RBDS allows broadcasters to transmit digital data on an inaudible subcarrier, as well as select stations by format and provide navigation data.

ELSEWHERE New Orleans will get a 70's rock outlet as a result of a pending duopoly as EZ Communications is buying its LMA partner, classic hits WRNO -FM, New Orleans, from Communications Corp. for $7.5 million. EZ will combo the station with its CHR, WEZB, and its recently announced purchase of adult standards WBYU from The Vanderbilt Corp.

Heftel Broadcasting Corp. went through $5.3 million on a recent holiday shopping spree picking up an FM duopoly partner for its Dallas trombo and an AM in the Las Vegas market. For $4.7 million, it bought Broadcast House, Inc.'s rocker KDZR, Denton, TX. Heftel already owns regional Mexican outlet KESS, Fort Worth; tejano KICI, Denton; and recently -purchased KMRT, Dallas. Heftel also operates KICI -FM, Corsicana, TX, under an LMA which simulcasts KICI (AM)'s tejano programming. For the remaining $600,000, Heftel bought silent KOWA, Laughlin, from Laughlin Roughrider Broadcasting, and will probably flip it to Spanish soon. KOWA has a synchronous transmitter that serves the Las Vegas area.

Tulsa welcomes a new duopoly as NewCity Communications is buying KTFX, Tulsa, from Bill Payne's Central Broadcast Company, and has flipped the station from country to 70's rock under an immediate LMA. Terms were not disclosed. NewCity already owns news /talk KRMG and country KWEN, both Tulsa.

Even though 1994 was a good year for radio revenues, 1995 should be a great year, too, according to RAB President Gary Fries. He credits retailers and manufacturers confidence in the economy and marketing- driven, not commodity - driven, selling efforts for the 12% jump in radio ad revenues for 1994. In Radio Sales Today, the RAB's newsletter, Fries' urges radio broadcasters to continue to invest in the future: "Learning and applying future techniques is much easier to do when the tide is rising than when it is going out and we're struggling to stay afloat."

November was the latest in a string of double digit growth months for radio revenue, according the Radio Advertising Bureau. Figures from Miller Kaplan Arase & Co. showed combined local and national spot was up 16% over November, 1993. Local revenue was up 14 %, while national spot jumped 23 %. Overall radio revenue year -to -date was up 12% over the same period in 1993. The Southwest showed the greatest gain in November for national revenue at 35 %, while the Midwest was up the most for local revenue at 15 %.

Broadcasters could be held liable for losses due to advertised investment scams if the Utah Department of Commerce has its way. According to the Salt Lake Tribune, the state sent letters to more than 100 Utah broadcast executives asking them not to air the commercials that deal with offers of unrealistically high returns on investments in wireless cable television or other high -tech communications systems, investment opportunities tied to an 800 number, or offers that convey the need to invest immediately without discussing the risks associated with the investment. According to the article, Utahans lost nearly $200,000 in a recent wireless cable offering advertised on the radio.

The Canadian government's plan to impose "neighbouring rights " -- performance royalties assessed against broadcast stations - -has met with strong opposition from the Canadian Association of Broadcasters. In a press release, the CAB's President, Michael McCabe, says "it makes no sense to take millions of dollars from an industry devastated by years of losses. . .and give it to a healthy recording industry. . ." Private radio in Canada already pays more than $22 million a year in music fees.

WASHINGTON THIS WEEK

Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB) cleared another hurdle this week as the Commission approved spectrum for the service in the S -Band from 2310 -2360 MHz. The next step will be to look at the licensing procedures.




WASHINGTON THIS WEER (cont'd)

The Commission issued several actions in docket cases this week:

It addressed several petitions filed regarding a proceeding for 102.9 MHz in Raleigh, NC. In a series of decisions, the presiding law judge disqualified three of six applicants. Exceptions were filed with the Review Board before the Commission imposed a freeze on comparative proceedings which raised questions as to the qualifications of all six applicants. The Board remanded the proceeding to consider basic qualifications issues against two applicants because it found that this might make it possible to resolve the case without further comparative consideration. Both applicants sought a stay and asked the Commission to reverse the Board's remand order, urging that the specified issues were not warranted under FCC precedent and that the Board's action was contrary to the freeze. One applicant also sought to disqualify the counsel of another applicant.

In dismissing the requests for extraordinary relief, the Commission found that neither of the two applicants whose basic qualifications were being considered had demonstrated urgent and compelling circumstances warranting a waiver of the prohibition against interlocutory appeals, and that the ongoing rulemaking proceeding which proposed to revise the criteria for selecting among fully qualified applicants was not a basis for reviewing the Board's order.

It upheld the dismissal of R. Donnie Goodale's application for a new FM on 103.3 MHz at Lenoir, NC. Goodale had been dismissed due to the FM "hard look" processing rules because he had provided inconsistent geographic coordinates for his proposed transmitter site.. Goodale contended that the Commission erred in adopting the "hard look" processing rules without first undertaking a notice and comment rulemaking. In upholding the dismissal, the Commission cited a case in the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals ruling that the hard look rules were procedural in nature and therefore were properly adopted without the notice and comment rulemaking.

It dismissed as repetitious a petition for reconsideration filed by Maria M. Ochoa in the same Lenoir, NC proceeding. Previously, the Commission had found that Ochoa wasn't qualified to be a licensee and denied her application. A petition for reconsideration was denied, but remanded for further proceedings concerning the qualifications of a competing applicant. Ochoa then asked for another reconsideration denying the previous one. The Commission said all of her arguments were previously considered and rejected.

It denied Manzanita Media, Inc.'s application for review seeking reversal of the Review Board's ruling that its prior denial of Manzanita's application had become final by operation of law. Manzanita was an applicant for an FM on 93.7 MHz at Sebastopol, CA. Manzanita contended that the time -window for appealing the denial of its application was still open and active because of the Bechtel decision that threw out the FCC's comparative hearing criteria. The FCC said that the denial was not subject to the freeze order because the application wasn't denied on comparative grounds, but because Manzanita failed to file a petition for reconsideration after its application didn't rank as high as the winner's.

It denied Avid Communications, Inc.'s application for review of the Review Board's dismissal of its application for a new FM on 94.5 MHz at Temecula, CA. The Administrative Law Judge in this proceeding denied Avid's application on comparative grounds in the Initial Decision and the Board granted a motion to dismiss the application for failure to file exceptions on time. Avid contended the Board ignored factors that would have justified waiving the filing deadline.

It dismissed in part and denied in part a petition by Central Florida Communications Group, Inc., (CFCG) seeking reconsideration of FCC actions resulting in the grant of the application of Michelle N. Terzynski for a new FM on 103.3 MHz in Holly Hill, FL, and the denial of CFCG's competing application. The Review Board found that CFCG did not demonstrate at the time it filed its application because it did not show the availability of sufficient assets to meet its estimated costs to run the station, and did not allow them to rely on a bank letter obtained subsequently.

For you Commission Release junkies. . .the FCC Office of Public Affairs has started a new numbering system for News Releases. Report numbers will consist of a two letter designation for the appropriate bureau, followed by the last two digits of the current year and the number of the release. Docket Cases will continue to be coded DC. For example, the first Mass Media Action of 1995 was labeled MM 95 -1.

Arbitron reports response rates are up 4.8 points or 15% for the first 39 markets measured in the Fall '94 book over the Fall '93 book. The average metro response rate is 36.6 %, up from last year's 31.8% rate. Markets posting double -digit point gains are Danbury, CT, and Monmouth -Ocean Counties, NJ. Markets slightly losing ground were Ann Arbor, Chicago, Philadelphia, Reading PA, and Santa Rosa, but all losses were less than two points. Arbitron reports the Fall survey is the fourth in a row to post gains over the previous year's survey, which the company believes is partially a product of its new key response rate procedures and special diary packaging.

Arbitron's parent company, Ceridian Corp., has acquired MediaMAPS International, a company that has developed an integrated database marketing system for radio station marketing and promotion. MediaMAPS creates listener databases that are integrated with other databases to create profiles of prospective new listeners. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Interep's latest format analysis discusses how to reach Generation X'ers - -by marketing backwards.

In conjunction with M Street data, Interep reports that the growth of the 70's oldies format, which has quadrupled in less than a year, "seems a natural spin- off - -as well as an exciting new marketing opportunity. . according to Marla Pirner, Interep's Executive Vice President /Director of Research.

Q. What has a hard FM shell with a soft AM center? A. Heftel - Dallas, TX With the announcement this week that Heftel would be buying KCYT -106.7 MHz, Granbury, TX, for $1.9 million, Heftel brings its Dallas area station count to seven. On the FM side, KCYT covers the S.W., KDZR, Denton, on 99.1 MHz will cover the N.W., KICI -FM, Corsicana, on 107.9 MHz covers the South and KECS, Gainesville, also on 107.9 MHz when built, will cover the North. The FM stations make a 3/4 ring around Dallas but none of the stations city grade Dallas. On the AM side they now own KESS, Fort Worth on 1270 KHz to the West, KICI, Denton, on 1440 KHz to the N.W., and KMRT, Dallas, on 1480 KHz in the center. It is expected all the stations will switch to or continue with Spanish programming.

Dallas gets another duopoly this week as Charlie Strickland's Cen -Tex Media is

selling country combo KSTV -AM and FM, Stephenville, TX, to Service Broadcasting Corp. for $1.5 million. Service owns urban oldies outlet KKDA, Grand Prairie, TX and urban KKDA -FM, Dallas, TX.

The Commission has denied Anchor Broadcasting, L.P. and Susan Bechtel's joint

motion to dismiss the application of Galaxy Communications, Inc., or to grant

other similar relief in the landmark case that threw out the Commission's

integration criterion in comparative hearings. In this proceeding, the Commission

granted the application of Anchor for a new FM station on 97.9 MHz in Selbyville,

DE, and denied Bechtel's and Galaxy's application, based on the lack of 100

percent integration criteria. On appeal, the U.S. Court of Appeals rejected

Galaxy's challenges to the reliability of Anchor's integration proposal and to the

constitutionality of Anchor's minority ownership preference, but the Court

remanded the proceeding for the Commission to consider Bechtel's challenge to the

validity of the integration criterion. The Commission reaffirmed the grant of

Anchor, and offered further justification for the continued use of the integration

criterion.

Again, Bechtel and Galaxy appealed and the Court reversed and remanded the grant

to Anchor, holding that the integration criterion was arbitrary and capricious.

The Court directed the Commission to consider Bechtel's application using criteria

not including integration and left to the Commission the question of Galaxy's

continuing right to participate in the proceeding.




WASHINGTON THIS WEEK (cont'd)

Upon review of the joint motion to dismiss Galaxy's application, the Commission found force to the argument that Galaxy should no longer be deemed a party to this proceeding. The Commission stated that final denial of Galaxy's appeal by the courts appears to have undercut the viability of its application, and the elimination, per se, does not appear to assist Galaxy.

The Commission has upheld its dismissal of the application of John H. White for a new FM station at La Crosse, WI. It dismissed the application for failing to file the hearing fee when due. On March 1, 1994, the Commission denied White's request to reinstate his application and accept his late -filed hearing fee nunc pro tunc.

The Commission has denied a motion jointly by Longmont Broadcasting Corp. and Amador S. Bustos that the Commission order the Administrative Law Judge presiding in the Longmont, CO, comparative hearing to proceed at once to prepare and issue a partial initial decision resolving all basic qualifications issues against Western Cities Broadcasting, Inc.

Western Cities' renewal application and the competing applications of Bustos and LBC for a new station on 104.3 MHz were designated for hearing in 1990 on character issues against Western. The records was closed in March, 1993 but the ALJ hadn't issued an initial decision. The Commission stated they can't proceed because of the-freeze on comparative hearings because of the Bechtel case.

The Commission has denied Phillip Goldberg's application for review of the dismissal of his complaint against WMAQ, Chicago. Goldberg had alleged that Group W had conducted its 1991 "Grand Slam Sweepstakes" in a misleading and deceptive manner, in violation of the Commission's contest rule, alleging the station's description of a $1 million cash prize was misleading because it was paid in installments, among other things. The Commission ruled against him because it found that WMAQ made clear the winner would be paid in installments on all game cards and contest announcements. The possible ambiguity concerning the number of installments did not amount to a rule violation.

The Commission has instituted a proceeding to streamline its antenna structure clearance procedure and to revise the rules concerning construction, marking, and lighting of towers. It has proposed to simplify the current antenna structure clearance process with rules requiring registration by tower owners, rather than by licensees using the structure. The Commission proposed that licensees remain responsible for compliance with all tower rules, but on a secondary basis, to ensure compliance if the tower owner fails to correct any violation.

NTIRE News reports two traveler's information stations (TIS) have been granted FCC waivers to triple their coverage areas up to approx. three miles. The two stations broadcast traveler information near the Wayne County, NY metro airport and the New York State Thruway Authority in Syracuse, NY.

During President Clinton's State of the Union speech last Tuesday, he mentioned that dreaded "free time" proposal again. The proposal would provide some political candidates free air time during campaigns. In a press release, NAB President Eddie Fritts countered, "Requiring broadcasters to provide free time as

welfare for politicians is clearly unconstitutional. We str -ngly oppose free time

requirements, and will challenge any such proposals in court should they be

enacted."

The Commission has launched a task force to look into streamlining broadcast rules. Engineers from six field offices and the Investigations Branch met twice

last week to begin reviewing the technical rules of all broadcast services. The task force will recommend the deletion or simplification of rules that won't significantly impact interference resolution or service.

The Commission has reorganized its Office of General Counsel. The Adjudication Division has been merged into the Administrative Law Division, which will be

WASHINGTON THIS WEER (cont'd)

According to Inside Radio, a U.S. District Court Judge in California has refused the FCC's request for a preliminary injunction to shut down a pirate station on 104.1 MHz in Berkeley, CA. So, Steve Dunifer will be allowed to continue to

operate his "Radio Free Berkeley" as Judge Claudia Wilken explores the

constitutionality of the FCC's authorization to regulate very low -power radio stations. Inside Radio quotes a San Jose Mercury story where FCC attorney David Silberman stated to Judge Wilken the decision, "opens up such a can of worms you don't realize."

Suzanne Tetreault has joined the FCC's Office of General Counsel for

Administrative Law. She'll manage the agenda review program of that office. She was previously with the Policy and Program Planning Division of the Common Carrier Bureau.
