France, Italy, Spain and the UKhave all reported that the war is asecondary factor. In Germany, theeconomy is booming, thanksmostly to unification, and radio isalong for the ride.

Schmidt & Partners are payingDM2.75 million (app. US$1.88million) for a 34% stake in thestation, while NRJ offered DM4million for 38% ownership. Thedeal effectively values the bank-rupt station at DM8.09 million.

One week after the release of their16th album, Queen are already bre-aking their own record. Released onFebruary 4, Innuendo is the band'squickest -selling album on a ship-ment basis. The LP shipped gold inGermany, Holland, Italy,Switzerland and the UK. InitialEuropean shipments amounted to675.000, while current sales arenow approaching the million mark.

Those figures compare to theband's previous and best-sellingalbum. The Miracle, that sold close

to 1.5 million (excluding UK). EMIexpects Innuendo to easily surpassthose figures. This has all beenachieved without the band being in-volved in any promotion. No con-cert tour is scheduled for this yeareither.

The LP crashed into both the UKand Italian charts at no. 1. It enteredthe charts in Holland at no. 3,

Denmark at no. 5 and jumped fromno. 72 to no. 2 in Germany. It hasalso charted in Sweden, Spain,Norway, Finland, Ireland,Switzerland and Belgium. TheDutch entry sets another record. For

RIAS 2's Cline Details ZDF Talks

by Howard Shannon

RIAS/Berlin (Radio In TheAmerican Sector) celebrated its45th birthday on February 7, andthen promptly put the champagneaway to face an uncertain future.

The former US -owned andBonn -financed "propaganda" sta-tion became technically illegal onOctober 3 last year when broad-cast laws in Berlin fell in linewith the rest of the country, whichmeans that radio must beGerman -controlled.

RIAS 2 deputy chief of pro-gramming Constantine Cline re-cently outlined negotiations bothwith ZDF television and the pri-vate sector. Cline says ZDFwould change RIAS 1 to a na-tionwide information service ai-ring on FM and AM, and RIAS 2surviving as a regional youth ser-vice FM in Berlin and satellitenationally.

The go-ahead for what is beingcoined ZDF Radio is expectedbefore the end of May. However,agreement on RIAS's future mustbe reached before December 31.

A buyout by ZDF (M&MJanuary 19) of the station wouldrequire it to finance annual opera-ting costs (1990 figures) of DM8million (app. US$5.5 million).This would have to come exclu-

Czech Private Plan Checkedby Paul Andrews

Hello World, the consortium pre-paring to bid for a national pri-vate radio licence inCzechoslovakia, has delayedplans to secure a major invest-ment from a French radio group(M&M, January 19).

The deal, originally expected tobe finalised by the end of January,has been checked by domesticpolitical factors, says Com-munications Equity Associates/Germany MD Stephan Goetz.CEA, a US media investmentbank, is currently handling thedeal for French investors.

Explains Goetz, "There's beena lot of delay at government

level. The rules under which li-cence applications have to bemade are still unclear." He addsthat until the legal framework forthe proposal is clarified, no dealwill be signed, and only then willthe identity of the French investorbe disclosed.

He stresses, "There are no pro-blems in its negotiations withHello World." The prospectivebacker --described by Goetz onlyas "a major radio group" --is ex-pected to take a stake of up to50% for an undisclosed sum inHello World. The consortium isheaded by economist PavelSetiak and set up specifically todevelop the national radio pro-ject.

Its proposal is for a full -servicecommercial music, cultural andinformation channel targeting awide audience.

Goetz says tie hold-up resultsfrom Czechoslovakia's federalsystem. "We have the option ofapplying for a national licence, orto each of the two constituent re-publics for separate licences.Until it becomes more obviouswhich will have the better chanceof success, it would be politicallyunwise to announce a strategy."But he hopes the situation will beresolved and the French invest-ment secured within two weeks.

At press time, no Hello Worldspokesperson was available tocomment on the developments.

sively from the existing licencefee.

ZDF is reportedly determinedto take control. But it must con-vince the 16 broadcast authoritiesin Germany's states that its firstinvolvement in radio would pre-sent no threat to their regionalstate -run radio.

However, the 16 regulatorsargue that RIAS can survive, solong as it is commercial -free. Theadvertising cake cannot be sharedbetween two public stations.

Talks with private companiescentre on floating off the youth -orientated RIAS 2 as a commer-cial concern.

Cline claims an initial appro-ach by Lower Saxony privateRadio ffn to win control ofRIAS 2 was refused by theBerlin broadcast authorities.Says Cline, "Informal negotia-tions are now under way with aseparate Berlin -based group."

BRITS NeededOne More Act

by Hugh Fielder

There was nothing wrong withthe BRITS Awards that one moremajor act would not have putright, says the BPI's awards com-mittee chairman Paul Russell.

Explains Russell, "In terms ofpresentation I think it was around95%. In terms of performancesfrom the artists, it was around85% and we shall be looking for95% next year."

Russell admits the Gulf warcaused problems, notably the ab-sence of MC Hammer. SineadO'Connor also refused to attend,having sent the awards committeea letter a week earlier. And alt-hough George Michael acceptedhis award for Best Album, he de-clined to perform. This year'swinners and the category:

British Male - Elton JohnBritish Female - Lisa StanfieldBritish Group - The CureBest Album - George Michael

Listen Without Prejudice Vol.1British Newcomer - Betty Boo

the first time in 11 years an LP hasentered the charts in the top 5. Thelast time this occurred was on July12 1980 when both the RollingStones (Emotional Rescue) andQueen (The Game) entered at 2 and3, respectively.

EMI has worked extensivelywith radio stations across Europe tolaunch the album. The LP was ad-vertised in nine markets. And inGermany alone some 170 spotswere booked on both public andprivate stations. Sales will be fur-ther boosted by planned TV cam-paigns in Italy, Germany andFinland.

Meanwhile, the title track of theLP is top 20 in every European ter-ritory excluding France andSweden. The second single, I'mGoing Slightly Mad, will be re-leased on March 4, followed byHeadlong at the end of April.

According to London -basedEMI Music Worldwide marketingmanager Neil Cox, the company in-tends to keep the album alive untilthe band's second compilation,Queen Greatest Hits II, is released.Says Cox, "As it looks now, that LPwill be out in September orOctober. Around May, we will belaunching the second phase of thecampaign. We will be doing aworldwide competition, probablyinvolving a major sponsorship deal.But it is too early to comment onthat now."

Virgin's NewInternationalStructure

by Machgiel Bakker

Virgin UK's international depart-ment has been restructured withseven product managers now re-presenting individual Virgin la-bels. All executives have the titleof international product manager.

The department was reorgani-sed by Chris Griffin, Virgin's in-ternational director, who recentlyjoined MCA Records as directorof international marketing(M&M February 9). Griffin'svacancy has not yet been filled.

These international productmanagers are responsible for thefollowing label(s): Debra Clancyand Dino Ostacchini (bothVirgin UK); Jayne Jones (Ten);Tania Davies (Virgin US,Charisma, Cardiac); LoraineBarry (Circa); Guy Hayden(Venture, Earthworks, RealWorld, Gold Castle, EditionsEG, Caroline and Night); andMaureen Shea, who comes fromVirgin Canada to handle all non-US/UK labels.

The team is completed by in-ternational artist & marketing ma-nager Juliet Joseph, internationalmanager licensed territoriesConnie Sutterlin, internationalpromotion co-ordinator JaneDolan, and international produc-tion manager Ingrid Johansen.

Griffin says to the changes,"The new setup creates a betterstrategic overview. Product ma-nagers should represent labelsand be involved with all aspectsof it --from A&R to selling. Someof them will be based at the indi-vidual labels."

For The Record

In our January 26 issue onTony Grundy buying Com-municate, Grundy has boughtonly the broadcast and commu-nications training business ofCommunicate, not the entirecompany.

Also, in our February 16

Premiere, Charivari Near DealUS syndicator- Premiere RadioNetworks is poised to close its first

European sale.Radio Charivari/Nuremberg con-

sultant Scott Lockwood says the

AGEHR station is "one step away"from buying Premiere's "Plain -Rap

Countdown" package. CommentsLockwood, "We expect to sign a deal by

March 1, and have the show on -airshortly after."

The sale will be the first made byPremiere's Paris office, which opened on

December 10. "Plain -Rap Countdown"is a weekly hit -parade package designed

to be adapted by stations for their for-mat.

Says Lockwood. "This is really exci-ting, because we can produce an expen-sive -sounding international programmethat originates at our station, translatedinto German and using our own presen-

ters and style. Often, syndicated showsjust don't work here &rause they soundout of synch and when they're in English

the Germans don't understand them."

Band name of the week: CycleSluts From Hell, four female roc-kers whose lead singer is calledVenus Penis Crusher (and whowill be supporting Motorhead ontheir upcoming European tour).Well, the PRMC will be pleasedto meet you in court, girls!

Desire, Non Fiction SwitchDistribution To Pinnacle

by Hugh Fielder

The labels Desire and Non Fiction,featuring Rebel MC and new sig-ning Candyland, have switchedUK distribution to Pinnacle. Bothlabels are looking for Europeandeals on a territory -to -territorybasis.

Pinnacle international marketingmanager Nik Myers says, "Wewant to work with companies thathave the same goals as us. Theycould be majors in some countriesand indies in others. We need tokeep our campaigns specialised foreach market so that money isn'twasted."

BBC Turns Down Chart SponsorshipBBC Radio 1 and BBC TV willnot carry chart sponsorship eventhough the British Phono-graphic Industry (BPI) andChart Information Network(CIN) have set up a joint ventureto market the chart.

A spokesman confirms that theBBC's agreement with CIN tobroadcast the top 40 every weekspecifically excludes any spon-sorship.

Courts NabSatin SoundA record industry campaignagainst illegal CD rental opera-tions has achieved its first majorsuccess with a High Court injunc-tion against a shop in Eastbourne.

EMI, Warner Music,Chrysalis and 10 Records, ac-ting jointly on behalf of theBritish Phonographic Industry(BPI), obtained an injunctionagainst Satin Sounds which wasrenting CDs and music videosand offering them for sale at adiscount afterwards.

The shop, which had a con-stantly changing catalogue ofsome 2.500 titles, is not contes-ting the injunction and is cur-rently negotiating with the BPIover costs and damages. HF

The BPI, CIN deal comesseven months after the BPI losteffective control of the chartwhen trade paper Music Week setup CIN to run the chart in agree-ment with compilers Gallup, theBBC and the British Associationof Record Dealers (BARD). Thejoint venture, CIN Ltd, holds thecopyright for publishing andbroadcasting the chart. Gallupcontinues to compile the purelysales -based chart using about1.000 retailers. BARD, which en-joys equal representation on thechart supervisory committee withthe BPI (the BBC has one repre-sentative), will receive incomefrom any sponsorship deal, saysits chairman Brian McLaughlin,

MD of HMV.CIN CEO Adrian Wistreich,

who is also chairman of CINLtd, says he is currently discus-sing a sponsorship deal with"three or four" companies for thecharts which provide weekly dataon the top -selling albums, singlesand videos which can be brokendown by format and musicalstyle. HF

Myers says he has been talkingto Intercord in Germany andSonet in Scandinavia, although hestresses that no deals have yet beenfinalised.

Desire was set up two years agoby Fiction MD Chris Parry andco -funded by Polydor UK, whichcontinues to distribute the Fictionlabel. The label has enjoyed consi-derable success with Rebel MC.The artist has scored six UK hits infive months, including StreetTough, the biggest -selling rapsingle in the UK to date.

PolyGram in Europe has hadoptions on all Desire product, butMyers says the European territorieshave not realised the label's poten-tial. Comments Myers, "Breakingindependent acts is an immediateaffair, but the singles were not auto-matically releases in Europe. Thecompanies tended to wait for UKsuccess, by which time it was oftentoo late to keep up the momentum."

One key to Desire's success istargeting the core audience, conti-nues Myers, who maintains thelabel can make a profit on sales of2.000. "If you run a tight ship youcan be a financial success withoutenormous sales, without big aware-

ness and without compromise."Major labels don't seem to un-

derstand this. They believe youhave to break things big-time asfast as possible. But if you arelooking for a long-term career foran act you must put out crediblestuff that will ensure a growing,core fan -base rather than aiming forbig hits. If you work it properly,you shouldn't lose money on anyreleases."

Myers points to The Cure --fin-ally achieving major success after adecade as a steadily growing cultband --as the prime example of thephilosophy of the Fiction, Non -Fiction and Desire labels. "Lastyear they released a dance albumwhich surprised everyone, but itwas a huge success. Now they areworking on a rock album. They'venever done one before.

Myers expects Candyland'sdebut single, Fountain O'Youth, tobe the first Non Fiction release inmainland Europe. The single is justout in the UK, where a marketingcampaign that involves bill -stickingroad signs in London, is alreadycreating a lot of extra free publicity.That will be followed by a newRebel MC single in March.

see Carlton Communications'bid for one of the independent te-levision franchises.

Says Capital chairman SirRichard Attenborough, "Wehave a mutual understanding withCarlton that during this period hewill be enabled to play his part inthe preparation of its bid. In addi-tion there is a further continuingarrangement to cover a subse-quent handover once Nigel hasmoved full-time to Carlton."

Deputy chairman RogerHarrison will take a more activerole at Capital alongside the re-cently restructured managementteam until a new MD is appoin-ted.

Walmsley, who describesCarlton's offer as "irresistible",

appears to rule out any return toCapital should Carlton's TV bidprove unsuccessful. Licences forthe franchises are expected to beadvertised by the end of February.

Walmsley's departure fromCapital after eight years alsoleaves a vacancy on theAssociation . of IndependentRadio Contractors' (AIRC) JI-CRAR committee which he chai-red.

Says AIRC marketing execu-tive James Galpin, "He has beena significant mover and shaker inJICRAR's progress in the last fewyears. His hand on the tiller hasbeen a vital ingredient and his po-sition at Capital ensured that hewas listened to. He will be a hardman to replace." HF

Private All -News

Station Launchesby Mal Sondock

Germany's first terrestrial privateall -news radio station will openin Berlin by late August 1991.Inforadio Berlin is to be opera-ted by RSH, Schleswig -Holstein's statewide private net-work, and is backed by theArgon group, which publishesBerlin's daily newspaperTagesspiegel.

The station will reportedlyhave an annual budget of aboutDM5 million (app. US$3.45 mil-lion), employ 20-30 people, andreach some 4.5 million potentiallisteners in and around Berlin.National advertising sales will behandled by Hamburg -basedRMS, which already acts as saleshouse for RSH, as well as othermajor German privates such asRadio ffn/Lower Saxony,RPR/Rhineland-Palatinate andAntenne Bayern/13avaria.

On -air around the clock,Inforadio Berlin's format will bebased on that of commercial USnews/talk stations. News, localinformation and phone-ins willmake up the majority of the pro-gramme. Except possibly duringthe midnight -06.00 daypart,music output will be confined tojingles, fills and effects.

Says RSH programme directorHermann Stumpert, "The sta-

tion will sound like CNN onradio. We expect it to have thesuccess of similar stations in theUK, France, and, of course, theUS, where every larger city has astation of this type that reachesan average of 10%-15% of thelistening audience. The reunitedcity of Berlin has given us theperfect journalistic and commer-cial basis for a local Germannews station."

Berlin's Kabelrat (cable coun-cil) approved the RSH/Argon FMfrequency application forInforadio Berlin in earlyFebruary, allowing the station tostart broadcasting as soon astechnical details are settled. Theoperators aim to have the stationon -air in time for Berlin'sInternationalen Funkausstellungtrade fair, at the end of August.

Although Inforadio Berlin isthe first private news station togain an FM licence, Germany al-ready has a national cable and sa-tellite radio service, Radioropa-Info, controlled by industrialistPeter Lepper and launched inOctober 1990.

Radio 21 Broadcasts Beatles Storyby Marc Maes

Radio 21 is featuring a 45 -epi-sode series on the Beatles. Thefeature, which began on January7, is broadcast daily and will runthrough March 15. The serieswill end with a two-hour specialto air 09.00.

The Beatles Story is producedand hosted by Luc Remade,who joined Radio 21 last August.

It took Remacle's company,Beatsound, 18 months to com-pile the series of 20 -minuteshows. The project covers thecomplete history of the band'smembers and their individual car-eers up to 1990.

Remade explains, "The basicidea was to tell a story withmusic serving merely as an illust-ration. We tried to avoid the usualcliches in pop music stories andBeatles biographies.

"The programmes are not a'Best Of interrupted by jock

speeches, or a special for hard-core fans. We want to tell a storyfor an audience as diverse as pos-sible."

The series is based on severalpublications and magazines suchas Melody Maker, Rolling Stoneand The Record Collector. Musicwas selected through researchingfan clubs, flexi and interviewdiscs, plus film soundtracks.

Remade has produced radio

specials featuring bands such asThe Police, Yardbirds andEurythmics before securing thissponsorship deal with tape manu-facturer Memorex.

Memorex is supplying Radio21 with prizes of nine portableCD players, 15 personal stereosand two trips to Liverpool. EMIBelgium is adding 50 PaulMcCartney CDs and a completeBeatles CD box.

Interactive ProgrammeDebuts At TROS

by Howard Shannon

TROS/Hilversum debuted onFebruary 4 an interactive phonevote which programme directorFerry Maat says should allowlisteners to programme its Radio2 oldies programme.

The system, which runsMonday 07.00-09.00, relies on alistener having a tone phone. SaysMaat, "We tell them to push fivefor the '50s, six for '60s, seven for'70s and eight for '80s. We down-load the votes every 10 minutes,decide which decade has won,and I then select a record."

Hitachi Deal For Leyers,Platinum -selling group Leyers,Michiels & Soulsister have signed adeal with Japanese hi-fi manufacturerHitachi to promote the product.

Maat says the system willnow be adapted to select anexact year. "Our first dayshowed the '60s to be favou-rite. So now we will tell list-eners to use all 10 digits on thephone to vote for a specificyear."

TROS logged 1.200 calls onthe system's debut. Each 100thcaller is awarded a CD. Maatdeclined to reveal the cost ofthe promo, though confirmedthat if call level is sufficient,the investment could be offsetby income from the Dutch te-lephone network PTT.

Vogue Widens EasternEuropean Distribution

by Jacqueline Eacott

Vogue Disques, which at the be-ginning of the year concluded alicensing/distribution deal withSoviet record company Melodiya,has strengthened its EasternEuropean connections throughdeals with Czechoslovakian labelSupraphon and Hungary'sHungaraton. Financial detailshave not yet been revealed.

The deal with Supraphon is afive-year renewal of the existing

collaboration between the two la-bels. Vogue maintains distributionrights for the largely classicalSupraphon catalogue, which willin turn distribute Vogue product inCzechoslovakia. A jointly ownedretail outlet is expected to open inPrague this spring.

The Hungaraton agreement,signed after rapid negotiations,gives Vogue exclusive distributionrights of the Hungaraton cataloguein France.

Dutronc's 1968 HitVoted Best SingleJacques Dutronc's 1968 classic,11 Est Cinq Heures, ParisS'Eveille, has been voted best -everFrench single. A group of 40media executives voted the singleto mark the 40th anniversary ofthe 7" format.

The survey was organised byperforming rights societySACEM, public radio FranceInter and news magazine LeNouvel Observateur. The jury in-cluded RTL's programme directorPhilippe Labro and head ofmusic Monique Le Marcis,France Inter programmers YvesBigot, Bernard Lenoir and Jean-Louis Foulquier, NRJ pro-gramme director Max Guazziniand "Rapido" presenter Antoinede Cannes. A "chart" of 100 titleswas compiled from the list of thejury's favourite singles.

The artist with the highest num-ber of singles in the list is JohnnyHallyday (five), while SergeGainsbourg is the most successfulcomposer, with eight titles.

France Inter has been extensi-vely promoting the event withspots and heavy airplay of the100 songs since the beginning ofFebruary. A Ffr2.5 million (app.US$500.000) advertising cam-paign includes TV spots and bil-lboards. A record compilation ofthe best songs and a prime -timeTV programme are currently inpreparation.

The event was devised bySACEM head of media relationsEric Dufaure, and developed inconjunction with Yves Bigot andNouvel Observateur writers Maxand Francois Armanet.

Dufaure says, "The 40th anni-versary of the single was a goodopportunity to focus on what foryears was France's leading for-mat. Although it has suffered adecline, the single remains essen-tial, and still fuels the importantcollectors' market. As PeteTownshend once said, 'Singlescould be just what life is all

about'." EL

Detry comments, "The agreementgives us access to 600 high -qualityclassical CDs from an incrediblecatalogue, as well as access to digi-tal studios in Budapest and Prague,so we are planning some co -pro-ductions."

More commonly associated withthe '60s, thanks to the success ofartists such as Jacques Dutroncand Francoise Hardy, Vogue isnow aiming to consolidate its jazzand classical sectors and increaseits pop signings.

"We sign very few artists," saysDetry. "We work on a one -in -twosuccess rate. Our '60s artists areenjoying a kind of regeneration atthe moment, but we still intend toconcentrate on developing new ta-lent. The company made a majorerror after the '60s boom when itneglected this area." He citesPhilip Lafontaine (Coeur DeLoup) Pacific and Les Forbans(Sale Caractere) as recent singleand album successes for the label.

Detry, who bought the companyin 1985, recently increased his sha-reholding in Vogue Disques to90% (the remaining 10% is heldby a French financial institution).He is currently investigating thepossibility of strengtheningVogue's "mini -major" statusthrough deals with fellow Frenchindependents.

"A larger structure could doubleVogue's current 3% market shareand our system is currently wor-king to only half its full potential,"he comments. "We are also theonly record company in Europerunning at a consistent profit - 3%annually for the last four years. Ahealthy company has a duty to helpweaker structures. There is nopoint being isolated."

Local Stations Promote

Dave Stewart's Tourby Emmanuel Legrand

RCA and promoter SOS havedevised an original radio spon-sorship strategy for Eurythmicsguitarist Dave Stewart's forth-coming French tour. Each concertwill be sponsored by a leadinglocal station in the host city, rat-her than the usual strategy of ha-ving the whole tour backed by asingle national network.

RCA label manager Eric vande Pooter explains, "As this isDave's second French tour to pro-mote his solo LP, Dave StewartAnd The Spiritual Cowboys, wechose to focus on major local FMprivate stations. These cannotusually promote concerts by in-ternational acts in their cities be-cause a national network hassewn up the whole tour.

"It means a more complexoperation for us, because we havemany more contacts to deal with,but it does allow us to reallywork closely with the stations."

Both independent and net-work -affiliated local stations areinvolved in the project. They in-clude: Top MusiclStrasbourg/;Radio France and Radio 2000/Besancon; Europe 2/Reims;NRJ/Clermont-Ferrand; Fun/Dijon; Europe 1/Paris; RVS/Caen; Frequence We/ Rennes;Wit FM/Bordeaux; RadioPulsar and Forum 90/Poitiers;and Skyrock/Lille.

Each concert will be promotedon the local station, in exchangefor which 1.000 posters in eachcity advertising the concert willcarry the station logo.

The tour is a key element in thefurther development of DaveStewart's career in France, wherethe Spiritual Cowboys is enjoyingits greatest success. BMGFrance says the album has al-ready reached gold status(100.000 sales) there, comparedwith 40.000 copies sold in theUK, 60.000 in Germany, and80.000 in the US.

France Info Gets 100th Kaas Wins Two VictoiresThe 24 -hour news format radio,France Info recently opened its100th frequency in Calais. Thestate FM station, on -air since1986, can now be heard by 60%of the population.

France Info registered a 6.7%audience cume in the lastMediametrie poll (November -December 1990). This is up from6.5% (September -October 1990),and maintains the station's posi-tion between NRJ's 9.1% andEurope 2's 5.8%.

France Info station has beenone of the more successful FMstations in recent years. The sta-tion has been getting higher au-dience ratings with eachMediametrie poll, and the GulfWar has pulled in even more list-eners. JE

Sony Music France artist PatriciaKaas emerged as the big winner ofthe sixth annual Victoires De LaMusique awards, held February 4at the Zenith concert hall, Paris.Kaas was voted best female artistand best export artist for sales ofsome 240.000 LPs abroad.

Best male artist went to Trema'sMichel Sardou, who just comple-ted 17 sellout concerts at the 15.000 -seater Bercy venue. JohnnyHallyday (Monogram) won bestlive performance, and a specialaward as the French artist who hasattracted the most people to con-certs (352.253 people in 1990).

Best newcomers award went toLiane Foly (Virgin) and Art Mengo(Sony Music). Best video was theclip shot by Jean -Baptiste Mondinofor Tandem, by Vanessa Paradis.

Canadian artist Roch Voisine(GM Productions/BMG) won bestoverseas francophone act, whileElmer Food Beat (Off The Track/Polydor) were voted best band.

The most unexpected result wasfor best album, which went toVirgin's Main Souchon, forNickel, against competition fromPatrick Bruel and Michel Sardou.The selection surprised some pro-fessionals as the album is live, andtherefore, strictly speaking, not anew work.

The verdict angered many obser-vers. NRJ programme directorMax Guazzini described the "for-getting" of Bruel as "ridiculous",while Europe I music programmerYvonne Lebrun said that she "sha-red the sadness of Bruel and histeam". EL

PolyGram Grabs 1990Chart Share Crown

by David Stansfield

PolyGram has taken the topchart share spot for 1990 basedon the latest figures by trade ma-gazine Musica E Dischi. Thecompany had recorded a 15.6%share, down about one pointfrom last year. The results arebased on weighted averages ofthe weekly top 25 chart positionsfor the year.

Comments PolyGram presi-dent Gianfranco Rebulla, "Weare very happy. The success wasdown to an overall performance.

Our hits included 'Best Of al-bums by The Police,Supertramp, The Bee Gees andElton John. And we cannot for-get the In Concert album byCarreras/Domingo/Pavarotti."

Rebulla says last year's deci-

sion to split the company into thetwo PolyGram and Polydor divi-sions helped. "More people wereable to concentrate on less titles.This concentration plus invest-ment in TV advertising projectsgave us the lead position."

Rebulla admits the company'sshare has dropped by almost 1%on last year's results, but adds,"Basically we held our position.But other companies had majordrops. Our share proves a certaincontinuity."

Warner Music Italy, whichcame in third, saw its share dropby 10%. But GM MassimoGiuliano defends its position,"You have to consider that thecompany bought CGD, and withboth companies we are in thelead position. We passedAtlantic onto CGD so the corn-

pany received income from rele-ases by artists such as AlannahMyles, AC/DC and LedZeppelin. 1990 was a difficultyear for international music,which makes up 70% of our ca-talogue. Last year was a year forlocal music."

National acts featured heavilyin 1990's top 10 album successesby capturing six of the positions.

A surprise entry in the chartswas the debut of independentcompany New Music with a2.7% market share. New Musicpresident Pippo Landro com-ments, "We try to be serious andprofessional but it is not easy foran independent. We had littlehelp from radio stations, TV andthe press but now that they cansee our results I think the situ-ation will change."

New Music has concentratedon dance music in the past but iscurrently broadening its catalo-gue to include a wide variety ofmusical genres.

The singles market is conside-red unimportant at a sales levelbut national artists Gianna

Nannini and Edoardo Bennatohad the biggest success in 1990with the World Cup Soccer ant-hem Un Estate Italiana(Sugar/Virgin).

The top 10 honours were split50/50 between international andnational acts.

Suone Debuts NewInterview ProgrammeRadio Dimensione Suono claimsto have launched the first nationalalternative to standard artists' in-terviews. The station is broad-casting five-minute interviewsdaily over a period of 10 days,enabling the artist to comment oneach track of an album.

BMG artist Lucio Dalla wasthe first to comment. He was fol-lowed by Pino Daniele, who hasjust released his latest album UnUomo In Blues (CGD).

Station programme directorBruno Ployer says however ex-clusive a one-off interview is, it isno longer "a big thing" for list-eners.

Says Ployer, "We must not for-get that we are broadcasting tomusic fans and those with a gen-

Radio Capital/Milan Broadens FormatRadio Capital/Milan, currentlywith a '70s and early '80s disco for-mat, is to include danceable rockpop and soul from the same period.The decision was based largely onresults of a study by Global RadioResearch conducted for the stationby Datamedia.

Radio Capital MD ClaudioAstorri explains, "The researchdetermined the musical tastes ofour 25-44 year -old target audience.It also included their professions,cultural status, etc. Global RadioResearch indicated that discomusic was not popular before15.00. We concluded that the for-mat only appealed to youngsters

who tuned in after finishing schoolor work. It was fun radio, but wealso need a morning audience. Wehave to sell advertising space inthat slot too. The original formathas been adjusted without losingthe identity of the station."

Astorri admits the need for rock.But Radio Capital is not destinedto become a headbanger's haven."We will not programme hardrock," he maintains. "It would notbe welcome. Richard Marx ismore acceptable than theScorpions."

Past hits from acts such as JoanJett & The Blackhearts, TheKnack and The Pretenders will

be programmed, but airplay of thedifferent musical genres will not bebased on percentages. Astorri sayshe believes in the individual meritsof each record. "If a record is goodwe will play it. There will not be agreat percentage of rock but it willbe heard."

The national record industry hasalways the lack of rock music air-play. Warner Music Italy GMMassimo Giuliano welcomes thestation's move. He comments,"You only have to look at the re-cent national album chart to seethat there is an interest in old rock.There is a strong presence of 'BestOf compilation albums. If radio

can open up to music of this genreit is great for us. There is a newgeneration of record buyers whohave only heard this music throughtheir older brothers or sisters."

But disco still retains its impor-tance at Radio Capital. The stationhas launched a series of regulardiscotheque parties in northernItaly. The station is also devoting agreat deal of time to its own in-house research over the nextcouple of months. Back -issues ofM&M, Billboard and nationalcharts are being studied in order tocome up with what Astorri descri-bes as the Top 2.000 songs from1970-85. DS

uine interest in music. Sometimesthey will have the artists' lyrics ona record sleeve but may not un-derstand some of the significance.Our new slots will be helpful tolisteners."

Ployer plans to stick withmajor national and internationalacts and broadcasts will be sub-ject to their availability.

CGD promotions managerLuciano Linzi welcomes the newinitiative. "Many standard inter-views can be boring so any newformat is interesting. The newidea at Radio Dimensione Suonois excellent for an artist likeDaniele. DS

Zucchero: 'Young' At HeartNational superstar Zucchero has teamedwith UK artist Paul Young to record thesingle Serzza Una Donna (Without AWoman). Backed by a Russell Young -produced video, it will be available in theUK on March II and in the US in April.

This will coincide with the release ofthe Zucchero's self -titled English -langu-age album. Zucchero has sold 1.5 millionunits of his latest Italian -language albumDDro Incenso & Birra in the country.

Zucchero's 1990 success was toppedby being the first rock artist to performlive at Moscow's Kremlin last

December. Artists Randy Crawfordand Toni Childs were his special guestsand one of his two shows was transmit-ted live by Radio DeeJay and state-owned RAI TV. Says Polydor ItalyGM Adrian Berwick, "It was a fabu-lous event that I did not believe wouldhappen until I saw it.

CD Boom Boosts Musk Salesby Howell Llewellyn

A continuing boom in the CDmarket helped boost 1990 recordsales to Pta53.5 billion (app.US$582 million), the highest everin the country. That total is 7.8%up on 1989, despite last year's de-cline in LP and cassette sales.

Figures released by AFYVE(the Spanish audiovisual associa-tion) show that nearly 50.9 millionunits were sold in 1990. That is6.8% down on 1989 and 350.000

more than in 1980. In 1989 the fi-gure was a record -breaking 54.6million.

AFYVE MD Carlos Grandeexplains that there were various re-asons for the downturn. "Demandhas fallen because there was an ab-normal growth in preceding yearsand the recession is in everybody'sminds."

CDs greatly improved 1990sales figures. A total of 7.4 millioncompact discs were sold, a 50.3%jump on 1989. That gave CDs a

Cassettes remain the backboneof the Spanish music industry withmore than 23.5 million units sold.While it represents 46.2% of allsales, the unit figure is still 14.5%down on 1989.

LP sales fell by 11.9% to a lit-tle more than 18.1 million, or35.6% of the market. Singles al-most disappeared from the scenewith sales of just 86.000 (the1975 figure was 7.4 million)while 12" singles fell backslightly to 1.2 million.

"The increase in turnover is

down to the rise in CD sales as theycost more than records and casset-tes," Grande comments. "Peopleare going more for reissued albumsthan new releases. The drop in unitsales surprises me.

Norwegian Privates Increase

Pressure For Third Frequencyby David Rowley

Private groups are stepping uptheir campaigns to persuade theNorwegian government to grant athird national radio frequency tocommercial operators rather thanpublic broadcaster NRK.

The government has already re-ceived applications from five differ-ent groups. They include RadioNettverk-which already suppliesmore than 100 local stations in Nor-way with a satellite news service-and leading Oslo private Radio1, which has submitted an applica-tion in conjunction with its own sa-tellite news service, Riksnytt.

In addition to the two currentnational frequencies, NRK's P1and P2, the infrastructure existsfor up to two more national sta-tions. The concept of NRK hav-ing a P3 has been under discus-sion for some time.

Says Radio 1 news editor LeslieGoldsack, "The fight is just begin-ning for the third frequency. Wewill launch an information cam-paign very soon.

"NRK has already suggested itshould get the third frequency andthat the fourth be given to a com-mercial station later. We are askingwhy they should have a third fre-quency when we are obviously inte-rested in it, if the government doesnot put too many restrictions on it."

"The fight is justbeginning for thethird frequency."

- Leslie Goldsack

Radio Nettverk will launch itsbid for either the third or fourth fre-quency at a meeting with theNorwegian parliament's Culture &Media Committee in early March.

Comments Nettverk editor -in -

The political attitude towards themedia in general has made it clearany bidders for a national stationwill have to have a strong elementof serious news coverage in theirproposed programming, explainsSkjarpe. "If you just make amuse-ment radio, you will never get P3."Skjarpe also says the RadioNettverk group is currently awai-ting government approval to put outa form of national programmingbased on networking to the 102 sta-tions it currently serves. This pro-gramming would include 18 newsbulletins per day, coupled with spe-cific news magazine programmesin the afternoon and evening.

Currently, in Norway, it is legalto network via satellite although noone station can take more than 25%of its product from such a source.

Observers say Nettverk mayhave an edge in any fight for a thirdfrequency, at least in part becauseof its location in Norway's fourthlargest city, Stavanger, which hasno major media operation at themoment.

Radio Listening Jumpsby Anna Marie de la Fuente

Consumer Research companyICP has released radio -listeningfigures for the last quarter of1990. It also included results ofa special survey on the January17 audience when news of thefirst allied strikes against Iraqhit the airwaves.

ICP disclosed that the averagenumber of listeners jumped to20.2 million from 17.8 million.Furthermore, it revealed thatthroughout the morning of thatday, audiences nearly doubledfrom 8.24 million to 14.6 mil-lion. During the specific periodfrom midnight to 06.00, thenumber of Spaniards tuning injumped from 2.5 million to 5.7million. ICP also detected sta-tion switching among its sur-

veyed listeners in their searchfor more news.

ICP employs survey techni-ques similar to French ratingscompany Mediametrie to ana-lyse the listening habits of Spain's31.6 million over -14 year olds.ICP's data was collected using100 telephone interviews a day.

The October -December 1990period reveals a slight drop inthe average listening time from132 minutes a day on weekdaysand III minutes weekends tothe July -September quarter to117 minutes a day on weekdaysand 104 minutes on weekends.

Outlining the time span fromApril to the end of the year, theaccumulated listening time ofthat period indicates an averageof 124 minutes on weekdaysand 107 minutes on weekends.

Alfonso Perezagred adds the situ-ation was even worse than it

looked. "The buying public haschanged. An older public more in-clined towards buying CDs is ta-king over from the young purcha-ser. But worse still is the lack ofcreativity which is a problem every-where."

BMG Ariola general directorJose Maria Camara comments,"1990 was a year of transition, withthe CD substituting vinyl. There islittle risk being taken at the momentwhich has led to a situation wherewe need to be more demandingwith creativity. We will have to bemore rigorous in future."

Chart Plan Gains SupportProposals for a national airplay -based chart in Norway (M&MJanuary 26), have been welcomedby the country's record business.

The suggestion received unani-mous industry support at a meet-ing of IFPI Norway in lateJanuary, although some membersexpressed dismay at having firstheard about the idea in M&M.The organisation agreed to inves-tigate the proposal and discuss itfurther at a later meeting.

Says BMG Norway MDErling Johannessen, "Every-body was very interested in thechart. It was decided to go intodetailed discussion with local

radio and public broadcasterNRK, particularly now thatNRK's youth programming has aplaylist.

"The general feeling was thatit can only be a good thing, espe-cially in a country where a no. 1single sells only 4.000 to 5.000copies and there has been an an-nual 10% drop in that market.

"But although I feel most otherpeople see it very positively, too,I think they would like their mar-keting people involved in futurediscussions," he adds.

put together by PolyGramNorway head of promotionDavid Fishel. It would be basedon airplay reports from bothNRK and the country's burgeo-ning local private radio sector.

The chart already has thebacking of a major internationalad agency which will seek asponsor for the project as wellas giving logistical support.

Currently, Norway has twosingles charts, compiled by thetwo major daily tabloid newspa-pers. The chart published in VGis based on a retail sample; theother, published in Dagbladet,is based on wholesale shippingfigures. Both charts have comeunder criticism for being inac-curate, and sometimes differwildly from each other.

EMI Norway MD FrederikMueller has also welcomed theidea of the charts, while stres-sing that reporting radio stationsneed to be carefully selected."The current charts only coverthe big towns and this is not al-ways representative," he says."The IFPI meeting only discus-sed the issue briefly and there isa definite need for furthertalks."

STATION OPERATIONS

GOOD MORNING, IRAQ!

Radio Goes To WarRecent events in the Gulf have focused attention on themedia's ability to cover international crises. The media

has undoubtedly done a pretty good job for everyoneback home, but how is information broadcast to thetroops stationed in the Middle East? What do hard-

Lycett: Looking Past The ChartsChris Lycett took over from Roger Lewis as head of BBC

Radio 1's music department in November. He joined Radio1 as a producer in 1975 having worked as a sound mixer on

concert broadcasts by Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin and EltonJohn. He has produced DJs from Simon Bates to John Peeland won a Sony Award for the Live Aid concert broadcast in

1985 and a Broadcasting Press Guild Award for "Walters'Weekly" in 1984. Hugh Fielder talks to Lycett.

Q: What changes have you in-stigated at Radio 1 since takingover from Roger Lewis?A: When Roger Lewis was ap-pointed head of music, I wasmade head of daytime program-ming at the same time, and wemade a very strong working team.We all had input into the directionthat Radio 1 has taken and itwould be remarkable if I was toturn/the whole thing on its head. Isee/it as my job to consolidate thepolicy we created over the pastthree years and develop it.

One of our major develop-ments last year was the acquisi-tion and broadcasting of majormusic events which we've done tovarying degrees over the past fewyears. Last year we really made asplash of it and I want to maintainand develop that if at all possible.That is why I have appointed oneof our producers, Jeff Griffin, asspecial events co-ordinator.

It will be his task to go out andacquire as many of these projectsas possible. Up until now it's beena bit mix and match. For the pu-blic service action campaigns wenow work more closely withRadio l's youth programminguntil they eventually come underour umbrella. I'm keen on that be-cause the unit should be integra-ted more into the network whichwill in turn become more roun-ded.

Q: How far is the national charta significant force in compilingthe Radio 1 playlist.A: It's becoming increasingly lessso. The fact is that sales of singlesare declining. The week that IronMaiden got to no. 1 the totalsales of the top 40 amounted to4% of our weekly audience.We're here to make radio pro-grammes. We're not here to re-flect the charts. At playlist meet-ings the chart is just one of ourconsiderations. Obviously if arecord goes flying into the chartsit's clearly popular, but the chartis not our bible.

We have a team of highly pro-fessional music producers withdifferent tastes and I would ratheruse their experience and know-ledge of different musical stylesto help us decide what records goon the playlist.

I believe that our playlist, andthe way we arrive at it, is a farfairer way of deciding what is

going to be the cornerstone of ourdaytime policy than having justone guy doing it.

Q: The station came in for criti-cism recently for refusing to putIron Maiden on the playlisteven though it was no. 1. Howdo you answer that?A: Contrary to some reports I

must point out that the songwasn't banned. The only decisionthe playlist meeting took was thatit was a record that required se-lective programming. To do thatyou have to take it out of the

remember when we dropped theplaylist and every producer builthis own show from scratch. Aftera couple of years it was felt thatprogrammes were pulling in toomany different directions and theplaylist came back. But I wouldargue that you couldn't developthe range of music that we play ifit was run by a computer system.

The whole point of a compute-rised programming system is totarget a small playlist and rotateit. We are conscious that we needto have a cornerstone of musicalstyle so that when a listener tunesin he can be pretty sure what sta-tion he's listening to within 10 to15 minutes.

The playlist accounts foraround 50% of our daytime pro-graming and I think we've got thebalance about right. It gives theindividual producer leeway to putin music what he thinks is rightfor the show. And it enables theDJ to have an input which gives

"I see it as my job to consolidate thepolicy we created over the past threeyears and develop it."

playlist rota. It's been played du-ring the daytime and at othertimes. We simply decided that itneeded careful placing within thenetwork.

Q: Radio 1 shows are still pro-ducer built rather than compu-ter built. Do you plan to conti-nue that system?A: I've been here long enough to

him more ownership of the pro-gramme.

When a presenter is simplygiven a list of records to play andan order in which he's to playthem and the number of secondsin which he's allowed to talk inbetween them, it creates a pro-duction line structure to the show.

I believe that when you startprogramming music by computer

you are immediately creating pa-rameters that don't necessarilywork in every case. What makesa good segue, for example? Youdon't know until you try it. Theway we do it works for us. I don'tthink a tighter, more formattedstyle of broadcasting would giveus the range that we have.

mentally change the musical styleof rock & roll.

I don't want Radio I to alienateits older listeners or patronise theyounger ones.

There will always be cliques.There will always be an elitismwithin rock music. It would bedifficult for us to he as hip as

"Perhaps Radio 1 could have benefitedfrom the competition [of a national popchannel] because it might have helped us tosee things in a different light sometimes."

Q: As commercial broadcastersincreasingly target niche au-diences, how can Radio 1 re-spond as a public service broad-caster?A: I don't like the phrase "publicservice broadcasting". It has aworthy tag to it. For example, pu-blic service is music as well. Lastweek we played 1.000 differenttitles and our competitors playedaround 190, which demonstratesthe breadth of the music we play.

I can fully understand why acommercial station would limitits range. It makes sense to iden-tify a gap in the market and targetit.

That way you are not wastinganything. But as Lord Reith [theBBC's first chairman] said. theBBC should give its audience notonly what they want but some-thing better. We are hear to stimu-late our audience.

It's not going to happen everyhour on the hour. But it's part ofour ethos. It's why we spend somuch time broadcasting livemusic and doing sessions.

I know it sounds pompous but Ibelieve our role in the develop-ment of music in this country isparamount. Nobody else does it.I'm not saying they should. Acommercial station's brief is todeliver a profit to their sharehol-ders at the end of the year.

Q: Is it becoming more difficultfor Radio 1 to appeal to the wi-dening generation gap that lis-tens to rock & roll?A: Yes. The juggling act that Ihave to do is to keep the older lis-teners --some of whom were liste-ning to us when we first started23 years ago --and entertain mykids. I think the job is made a lit-tle easier because I would arguethat we are still in the same era ofmusic that started with rock &roll.

Fads have come and gone butthe basic foundation is still simi-lar. If punk had developed diffe-rently and had really taken hold,then I think Radio 1's job wouldhave been a lot more difficult.But although punk had a lot ofbeneficial effects it didn't funda-

Kiss FM because hipness impliesexclusivity. We can be hip at cer-tain times of the day. Our danceDJ Pete Tong is as hip as anyt-hing you'll hear on Kiss.

Q: The "non -pop" restrictionsfor the first national commer-cial FM licence to be awardedthis year means that Radio 1 isunlikely to have a direct compe-titor for the immediate future.What is your reaction to that?A: I'm sufficiently cynical tothink that while these things maybe set up with very fine guide-lines specifying exactly howmuch pop music recorded after1960 you can play, inevitablyedges will get blurred.

But I guess you are right, atany rate for the time being. It's ashame in a way because peopleshould have the right to chooseand competition is stimulating.Perhaps Radio 1 could have bene-fited from the competition be-cause it might have helped us tosee things in a different light so-metimes.

On the other hand, I'm convin-ced we provide the best possiblepop network. It's for others to saythat we are not and to prove it. It'sa shame that I can't prove it. I dohave to prove it within the BBC,however, because it's very impor-tant to the people who run theBBC that Radio 1 is seen to ap-peal to a large sector of our au-dience.

Private radio in Scandina-via has slowly taken to the

idea of formatting. Thedevelopment of consistent,

all -day sounds has beenconstrained by a whole

range of factors. Most not-ably, the evolution of local

radio into a commercialmedium has been compa-ratively recent in Norway

and Denmark (and hasstill not happened in Swe-

den), and coherent pro-gramming continues to behampered by the require-

ment that many stationsshare their frequency. Ne-

vertheless, some stationsare now beginning to re-alise the value of format-ting. M&M speaks to two

of the pioneers about whyand how they chose their

format, and the differenceit has brought to their

business.Paul Andrews reports.

Station manager/programme director Stig Hartvig Nielsen:"Radio ABC adopted a new name and format in September1990. Previously it was a youth -orientated station, doing

quite well among 14-24s in Randers, but it's difficult to make thatpay in a relatively small market like this. The income was just notcoming in.

"The decision was made to take a completely new approach at alllevels. The name was changed from Radio Upfront to Radio ABC.which is direct and easy to remem-ber. The same applied to the for-mat, which became consistentthroughout the day, so that peoplewould always know what to expectwhen they tuned in.

"Before, as is still usual here,programming varied from hour tohour. With many stations, peoplecasually tuning in still don't knowwhat they'll get --it could be classi-cal music or a debate or a specialistshow. Trying to harmonise all thoseslots with their particular audienceis impossible.

"The other main change was tobroaden the target audience. Alt-hough Randers is the sixth largestcity in Denmark, there are only150.000 people, so trying to appealto a narrow age group is not viable.We now aim at 14-49, which means avoiding extremes and notoffending anybody.

"The new format is not confined to one type of music, but if asong is 'catchy', then we will add it to the playlist. Otherwise, weprefer to wait until the audience is familiar with a track before weair it heavily.

"There is no attempt to follow the charts abroad. Denmark is theimportant market for us, and a lot of Danish artists feature on thestation, as well as the established international stars who are as pop-ular here as everywhere.

"They include, for instance, Matthias Reim, Tina Turner, JuleeCruise, Waterboys and Kylie Minogue, as well as Julio Iglesias,to appeal to the 40-50 age group.

"Playlisting is done on a strict rotation system. There is no com-puter system here as yet, but we secure a consistent sound through atightly -controlled manual procedure.

"Every hour the DJ has to play three records from the 35 on theA -list, in the order they come up, and three from the 60 on the B -

list, plus a certain number of oldies: two from the '60s and two fromthe '70s.

"This is basically the same system as that developed byWABC/New York many years ago. They proved that people want tohear the same records over and over again within quite a short timespan.

"I don't believe in letting the DJs select the records because it un-balances the overall sound of the station --it only takes one or two

tracks out of place to disorientatethe listener.

"Since the format change, theaudience has definitely grown. AGallup survey only three weekslater showed an increase from 14%to 39% daily reach in Randers,whereas our competitors were verymuch down. The more secure posi-tion has enabled us to acquire amore powerful transmitter whichdoubles our potential audience.

"The record companies certainlytake us more seriously now, andservice us pretty well. They receivethe playlists and because of theway the format is constructed, theycan tell how much airplay theirtracks are getting, so we have agood relationship.

"One firm still does refuse to co-operate with us, but that's a personal grudge from a few years ago --unfortunately that sort of thing can still happen in Denmark.

"However, the record companies still don't always understandour programming policy.

The Danish firms aren't attuned to that kind of formatting: theystill tend to put out a lot of really bad and totally unsuitable recordsand expect us to play them. But that's their problem not ours --wewon't play anything we don't want to."

MD Andersen Morten: "Radio Limelight has become thebiggest commercial radio station in Norway --it is now onsatellite and on January 7 opened stations in Bergen and

Trondheim, the second and third largest cities here. The potential au-dience is about one million and we hope to expand into other cities laterthis year.

"Before Limelight opened two years ago, I knew nothing about radio,and had no idea of what kind of format to take on. What was obviouswas that the Norwegian radio market was not as professional as it couldbe. Most stations were started by DJs as a hobby. This was before com-mercial radio was allowed, but they have not yet grown out of that.Only a few of those stations --like Radio 1/Oslo--have become fairlyprofessional.

"With Limelight, the difference was that we decided to invest in thesame kind of research as new stations do in the US, to find out what thebest market to exploit would be.

"We first approached potential advertisers: the kind of companieswhich use radio extensively in the US and elsewhere in Europe. Weasked them what their target was, thekind of people who respond to radioadvertising.

"They wanted to reach peoplethroughout the 18-60 age group, butprimarily women, and the lowesttwo-thirds in income terms. High ear-ners, they felt, did not respond toradio advertising, whereas, the mostresponsive group was housewives.

"Because nearly all the radio inNorway targets young people, it was decided to concentrate on the 25-55s, who were not so well served. The next step was to go to that group,and ask them what they wanted to hear. Panels of 50-200 people wereassembled, and asked what kind of programmes they wanted to listen to

also played music, and even DJ voi-ces, to see what they preferred.

"From these indications, we pic-ked the kind of programming wecould produce at low cost. For in-stance, although news rated fairlyhighly, Limelight cannot afford toproduce its own and could nevercompete with the national NRK. Wedon't employ any journalists, alt-hough we take the syndicated newsservice from Radio 1/Oslo.

"We settled on an easy -listeningformat. A lot of time is spent on de-ciding what music to play, the mix ofold and new and so on. Typical mo-dern artists are Smokey, Roger

ming, although a lot of preliminarywork goes into choosing the musicwe add to the computer each month.Maximum rotation is usually onlytwo plays a week, and for each hourthe computer supplies a list of 20songs from which the producer him-

self selects about 10, adding two or three of his own choice."That input is important to maintain a personal feel to each pro-

gramme, which again works better with the kind of audience we are tar-geting.

"The result is that we have to buy most of the records we play, ratherthan being serviced by the record companies. But I feel our success hasin fact had an affect on the industry.

"Limelight now has over 250.000 listeners, and that is encouragingthe record companies to release more music in our format --I don't thinkthey realised that so many people liked to listen to that kind of music,and could be encouraged to buy it too.

"The first year was a building operation, and advertising sales werenot a priority. The initial aim was to get the sound right, and get the list-eners to tune in. Only when we were certain we had achieved that goaldid we go back to the potential advertisers we had first approached withthe ratings and figures that proved we had reached the targets they hadoriginally set us.

"That was at the beginning of 1990. Our performance since provesthat the strategy worked. From January to December 1990, sales incre-ased tenfold, and are still growing at about 10% per month.

Label manager Rene Hedemyr: "It's a shame we don't have commer-cial radio in Sweden. Our national pop station P3 is run by old DJs andonly plays a few hours of dance music a week. Then there is local radio,but above all we have the so-called1naerradio' stations all over the place!There are a total of 150 in Sweden whereas in Stockholm there are only15. They are run by very enthusiastic young people who are all ama-teurs. But they are not amateurs when it comes to music.

"Everyone tunes in to them. The naerradio stations play every recordwe send them, three or four times a day. You can imagine how importantthese stations are for us. Major labels will probably think differently. butfor us it works out fine. The success of Dr. Alban depends on it.

"Our promotion costs are very high. but it's worth every penny. Threemonths before the single Hello Africa was listed on the national charts, itwas no. I on all those stations. But I have to admit, it's still very presti-gious to get your records played on national radio."

Virgin Scandinavia: Izabella tba

Go For It Go For ItA former model, 20 -year -old singer Izabella is one of the Swedish ta-lents of whom much is expected. On her first record she teams up withfamous local producer Ole Evenrude.

MD Per Lonnstrom: "National music radio and indie stations such asSAF are our priorities. At the moment we are waiting to go ahead withcommercial radio next year."

A&R manager Lizzie Jor-gensen: "Local radio stationsare getting more and more im-portant, because they pro-gramme different shows. Theyplay modern rock music with anappeal to young people.

Mega Records(Denmark) Y? Wisdom. (tba)Mega Records has two divi-sions: a record label and a pro-duction company with studiofacilities. It sells finished pro-ductions to other labels. likeLaid Back to BMG and Nanato Columbia. Y? are a hardrock hand in the Guns N'Roses -style. Wisdom are activeon the rap/dance front.

A&R manager MartinDodd: "National Danish radiois of prime importance. And so.of course, are the large localstations like The Voice/Copen-hagen, Radio Viborg and Aar-hus Naerradio. Further we tar-get all private radio. They'vegot a fair amount of listeners.They're far more dance -orienta-ted than the bigger stations.

PolyGram Sweden Dag Finn Dag Finn (album): I Minna Be Your Boyfriend (single) Blue Crow Men Blue Crow Men Dive Overflow (single)Dag Finn, former lead singer of the band Sha-Boom. has gone solo. His first single is due for release mid -February, followed by his first Ole Evenrude-produced debut album in March. Later in the spring he willhe touring Sweden with his new band.

Dive are a duo, and were nominated for Swedish Grammies in the categories 'Best New Band' and 'BestRock Video' for the song Captain Nemo. A three -track CD -insert is included in this issue of M&M, al-though distributed to Scandinavian contacts only. Their art rock album Where The River Turns To Sea is amust for stations tuned into Peter Gabriel and David Sylvian.

A&R manager Peo Berghagen: "The stations we target depend on the music. There's no point in sendingdance records to rock & roll stations. We concentrate on P3 and local radio stations like Radio Stockholmand Radio Malmti. Also important are: SAF Radio City/Stockholm and City 103/Gothenburg--all naerra-dio stations --which have young listeners. These stations are hungry for interviews and phone-ins. Commer-cial radio will probably be operating in a couple of years."

Local A&R manager Jan Thomsen: "National Danish radio is im-portant to us, especially the daily three-hour music programme P3.There are also 160 local stations. The biggest local station is TheVoice/Copenhagen which has been broadcasting for six years. Thestation will be renamed The Voice of Scandinavia. Then it will alsobe heard in Sweden and Norway."

Warner Music Norway The September When Mother, I've Been KissedThe September When sold 10.000 copies of their '89 debut albumwhich was also released in Scandinavia, Germany and Canada. Theyare a pop band, like Talk Talk and the new Manchester groups. Theycombine strong melodies with good grooves.

Genlyd Grammofon (Denmark) Fielfraz, Shim,Shine are a traditional rock & roll band. Lead singer Claus Hempleris regarded as one of the biggest talents on the Danish rock scene.

MD Jesper Bay: "The problem with our national radio is that it isn'tformatted. Some local stations do work with formats. The Voice is the firstlocal station to go on network, in order to cover all Scandinavia.

"We service an A -list of 40 stations. At the moment the biggest local sta-tions such as Radio Viborg and Aarhus Naerradio are growing bigger. "

Sting re-mains on top with All This Timefor the fourth consecutiveweek, although the single isslowly losing points and sta-tions. Last week, a total of 61stations played the single; thisweek, the amount drops to 54.Rick Astley makes a gloriousreturn after a two-year recor-ding hiatus.

week's top slot.Robert Palmer's second singlefrom the album Don't Explain,Mercy Mercy Me/I Want You, isanother good bet for next week'sno. 1. The single collects a signifi-cant increase in points and noless than 39 stations nominatedthe single for heavy rotation (32last week), making it this week'sA rotation leader. If France startsplaying the single as well (wherehis current single is still I'll Be

Your Baby Tonight), Palmer is li-

kely to gain more points nextweek.Although Palmer's recording withUB40 moves up from 12 to 9this week, it does not warrant abullet, as its total points decrease.

The single is, however, one of thevery few still in the EHR chartsince its launch eight weeks ago.The same honour goes toEnigma and Madonna.Highest entry for Kylie Mino-gue whose latest single is an ob-vious choice for many EHR pro-grammers.Not many records enter the EHRTop 25 without first bubblingunder in Chartbound. Apart fromSting (who entered straight at no.14 four weeks ago), Chris Reais repeating this feat with the titletrack of his new album, Auberge.The single enters at no. 24 andhas been added to the playlists of13 stations, making it top newadd leader this week.

SPOTLIGHT

Chris ReaChris Rea is a true European artist. His previous album "The Road To Hell"

reached no. 3 in the European Top 100 Albums in December 1989. It dealtwith the darker sides of life. On his new, 12th album 'Auberge", released on

East West on February 25, Rea is on the bright side of the road again.

by Robbert Tilli

Like the 1986 album On The Beach --whichbroke Chris Rea in Europe --the new album(11 tracks, all self -written) contains all thewell-known ingredients. Warm, romantic anddistinctive pop songs are carried by Rea's in-timate vocals and gentle slide -guitar. In at-mosphere it is absolutely the opposite of1989s The Road To Hell, which was not onlyhis most successful but also his most down-hearted album. Like the last five albums, TheRoad To Hell was produced by Jon Kelly.Recorded at Miravel Studios in France, theLP features the same line-up of musicians aspreviously including Rea's "right hand", key-board player Max Middleton.

Rea's career had a blitzkrieg start. Heflashed his way to a top 5 hit in the US withthe single Fool (If You Think It's Over),taken from the 1978 debut album WhateverHappened To Benny Santini?. But the quickstart soon stagnated. It took Rea six yearsbefore he equalled that success in Europe.Things got moving with the fourth albumWatersign from 1984, featuring the interna-tional hit single I Can Hear Your Heartbeat.But not until the seventh album, the 1986release On The Beach, was his name firmlyre-established.

The album reached no. 7 in theEuropean Top 100 Albums that year andthe same chart position was reached twoyears later with the compilation New LightThrough Old Windows.

Bearing this in mind, it will come as nosurprise that the album is a priority for EastWest. A huge marketing campaign has beenset up, including an international press com-petition in the UK, France and Germany. Inthe UK, the label has teamed up with retailchain HMV and the Daily Mirror. The

prize is a Caterham Super 7 sportscar, thenew model of the well-known Lotus 7 asfeatured on the album's artwork.

Throughout the year, national flyposting,point -of -sale material and press advertising(full -page ads in the major music magazi-nes) will support the UK launch of the LP.Radio advertisements are being considered.Those who used their credit card to pur-chase a ticket of Rea's 1990 tour are alsoserviced in a very special way. They will beinformed of the new release by direct mail.

East West marketing manager LizMorris explains, "You can see Rea meansserious business. It's not a normal release.Everything is thoroughly planned step bystep. The image of the sports car dominatesour whole campaign. The first 15.000 cop-ies of the new album go with a very specialpackaging, in the shape of a pop-up car.made of cardboard."

Throughout February and March therewill be a European promo tour. Rea willvisit Milan, San Remo, Stockholm,Cologne, Amsterdam, Paris, Munich andHamburg. "He won't do this in one stretch,"says Morris, "but in bits and pieces. That'show he wanted it. Also he didn't want to goon concert tour immediately. Last year hetoured in the spring, this time he preferred abreak first before touring in the autumn andwinter. That has nothing to do with the Gulfwar, probably it's just the racing season..."All tour dates are printed in the CD book in-sert and on the LP sleeves.

The title track and first single was rele-ased on February 4 and is already playlistedon 14 UK stations (including BBC Radio 1,Capital/London and BRIM/Birmingham),two German, three Italian, twoScandinavian as well as RTL/Paris andRadio 21/Brussels.

OFF THE RECORD

Must See

The seventh UK Radio AcademyMusic Conference --sponsored byFerguson --will be held in Londonon March 7-8. Main theme: dere-gulation and how stations are cop-ing with more competition. Also,how technology is changing theway music is consumed. Chairedby Tun Blackmore, panellists in-clude Capital Radio's RichardPark, Kiss FM's Grant Goddard,Jazz FM's Ron Onions, MTV'sBrent Hansen, MCPs TimParsons and M&M's MachgielBakker. Book it!

French FactsFrench act Niagara have pickedup two heavy hitters for their latesttour: MTV Europe and NRJ. It'sthe first time MTV has sponsored aFrench act. Who's next?

Congratulations to Sony Music,which managed to chart (no. 50)French singer Patricia Kaas inGermany. Due to this entry, Scene

De Vie moved up 10 places in theEuropean Top 100 Albums (from60 to 50) after 39 weeks on thecharts. We'll tell you more nextweek.

PolyGram chieftain MainLevy made a rare public commentabout the Kaas controversy in aninterview with French daily news-paper Liberation published twoweeks ago. "There is no 'Kaascase,' he said. "One artist, forwhom I have a lot of respect, wentto CBS for reasons that I know andthat are respectable, while breakingits contract with Polydor.PolyGram has responsibilities to-wards its shareholders, and I

couldn't let that go through.Otherwise, anyone could use thiscase and go to anyone, anywhere,anyhow."

appeal by staff at Radio 100 toallow NRJ to secure its futuremade Kabelrat relent. Then, onFebruary 8, Radio 100 refusedthe French offer and opted forSchmidt & Partners' bid.

Says Numan, "A 63 -pagedocument from NRJ landed onour desk. The main part of itsaid all 25 staff here would befired and the station totally re-formatted. Though the docu-ment had the proviso that somestaff might be rehired, NRJ re-ally just seemed to want to buythe frequency and offices."

NRJ president Jean -PaulBaudecroux confirmed an offerwas made for Radio 100, butdeclined to comment further.

Schmidt & Partner MD EricWeihonig says the firm is in-vesting Radio 100 "because weare a left-wing publishing houseand feel it necessary to save theonly left-wing radio station inBerlin".

It is the firm's first radio in-vestment. The DM2.75 milliondeal includes a second -yearpayment of DM600.000 and theassumption of Radio 100's cur-rent DM800.000 debt.

Schmidt & Partners has madeassurances it will not radicallychange the station's format,though it has insisted on the for-mal appointments of an editorialdirector (since named as AxelKiincke) and head of music. Itwill also introduce limited com-puter programming. Staffing isexpected to be 15-20 people.

Radio 100 began March1987. A recent Infratest surveygave it a 1% reach in westernBerlin. In-house research,which included the eastern partof the city, registered 10%among its target 14-29 demo-graphic.

tions have signed up next week.Those telephone lines are heat-

ing up. Italy's Radio DeeJay is thelatest to implement telemarketingschemes, having launched Voice -line, a 24 -hour computerised ser-vice for listeners. More next issue.

Is Media Control doing airplayresearch in Italy? Looks like it'sbeen talking with RAI, some pri-vates and key labels.

Star*Sat has got an FM fre-quency in Munich, but it has toshare. We'll tell you who in a

week.

BRITS BitsNothing compares 2 SineadO'Connor's letter to the BRITScommittee declining to attend or ac-cept her award. She blasted thecommittee for exploiting the com-mercial aspects of the awards. Notto be outdone, following her awardfor best international singer, theBRITS showed a clip of WhitneyHouston singing the US nationalanthem.

in four-hour blocks versus thecurrent three hours when the newschedule is introduced in March.

The redundancies are centred onsales and include head of sales andmarketing Mike Bernard and NeilGoodwin, who headed the localsales team. Station manager RonOnions and Andy Park.

Jazz FM MD John Bradfordsays, "We have to make the stationmore reliable on a regular basis.This is the target towards which wehave been working since we wenton -air in March."

The station is retaining a small di-rect sales team and Katy Turner re-mains in charge of revenue andsponsorship. Jazz FM's national

sales house, Radio Sales Company,will report to Bradford. There arenow about 30 people employed ver-sus nearly 50 when it went on -air.

Bradford says the station is nowin good shape following the reorga-nisation. "The recent investment byYorkshire TV has made a dramaticcontribution." Bradford points outthat when Jazz FM was originallygranted its licence, it was not envi-saged that there would more thanone new London station.

Fantastic Plastic

Promo of the week goes to Off TheTrack and the second single byFrench band Elmer Food Beat en-titled Le Plastique C'est Fantastique.With each purchase consumers get acondom. Proceeds go to fight AIDS.

ELF already caused a stir withtheir debut single Daniela. NRJ hastaken the record off its playlist due tothe band's reluctance to cut jinglesfor the station. Also, the band's ap-pearance at this year's San Remohas been cancelled. Reason: explicitlyrics of Daniela. More news on theband next week.

Radio(continued from page 1)

Carlo, 105 Classic. "The pro-blem we are experiencing now ismostly due to the recession andnot the Gulf war. 1990's recessionis continuing this year."

Giantulio Scalzi, head of OpenSpace, national sales representa-tive for RTL 102, agrees. "It'shard to tell whether companies arehesitating because of the recessionor the war. In my opinion, manyfirms are using the war as an ex-cuse for not spending."

The Italian experience is alsospilling over to Spain and France.Comments SER MD JoseIgnacio Fano, "We've noticed aslowdown, especially in conven-tional AM radio. SER experien-ced a 16% growth in 1990. Thisyear we expect a mere 11%growth. I don't see any brightspots."

Says Sophie Belfort, adresearcher for France's Regie 1,which handles ad sales forEurope 1, Europe 2, Skyrockand RFM, "I would say, compa-ring January 1991 to January1990, overall in radio there hasbeen a revenue decline of theorder of 5-7%."

BMG(continued from page 1)

artists will be split between both,and each label will have its ownA&R policy.

One label will manage RCA,while the other will handleAriola/Arista. The remainingBMG labels (Motown, MCA/Geffen, Jive, Silvertone) will besplit later. Geffen has been licensedto BMG since January 1. BMG willcontinue to distribute Chrysalisuntil July 1, after which the labeljoins EMI.

BMG distribution GM ClaudeAmrane will supervise sales wit-hin classical and jazz depart-ments of both labels. ChristianHerrgott remains head of the na-tional artistic and creative depart-ment. Desindes, Chouchani,Amrane and Herrgott will reportdirectly to Carbonez.

Comments Carbonez, "BMGnow has a solid base. But to de-velop, we had to go throughchanges. I couldn't see us achie-ving growth with our currentstructure. I decided to create twoseparate structures to enable usto offer the best service."

But it's not all doom andgloom.

Notes Radio Schleswig-Holstein GM/programme directorHerman Stumpert, "Germany isdefinitely not in a recession and wehave had no slowdown whatsoeverin advertising booking. Germanfirms of all kinds are experiencinga boom in sales, especially to thenew parts of Eastern Germany.Advertising is playing a very im-portant role there. "

It is not the only upbeatGermany station. Radio FFH/Frankfurt has also reported that ithas not lost any income from thewar or recession.

While the 'R' word seems to beon many executives' lips, somelocal and regional stations havefared better than their national,big city counterparts.

Explains Geoffrey Holliman,sales/marketing director for theUK's Radio Clyde/Glasgow,"The local market has held up re-markably well. The recession hasbeen late in coming to Scotland,mostly because the economydidn't overheat like the rest of theUK. We might even gain adverti-sing because of a new BA[British Airways] campaign."

That trend has crossed over toSpain. Comments COPE marke-ting director Pedro Diez, "Localstations are doing well, evenslightly better than forecasted.Small advertisers continue withcampaigns while the medium-sized ones are pumping evenmore into advertising."

How long the current climatewill last is still unknown. Opinionsvary, ranging from Capital's Leeslooking at a pick-up in the UK inearly 1992 to SER's Fano saying itcould last three years.

But as COPE's Diez says,"Radio stations should tightentheir belts and reduce costs."Good advice from COPE to copewith the situation.
