POP BORN 1960

UK Tightens INR Rulesby Hugh Fielder

Pop music now has a birthdaythanks to the UK Radio Authority.

That decision was included in theAuthority's rules issued on January8 for the first independent nationalradio franchises. The new guide-lines further tightened the definitionof pop music and appear to haveclosed any loophole which mighthave allowed a pop station to gainthe coveted FM licence.

One senior radio executive plan-ning to apply for the INR FM li-cence says, "The Authority shouldhave left itself more room formanoeuvre. By defining the stationso narrowly, it is inviting people torenege on the promises later."

The Authority says at least 75%of airtime must be devoted to musicwhich must be non -pop. The mixwill be analysed over three-hour pe-riods.

It defines any music recorded be-fore 1 January 1960 as non -pop.Says the Authority, "Pop includessoul music and other forms ofdance music; R&B; and jazz, folkand country music which includeselectronic amplification." Non -popcovers "all classical music, light or-chestral and choral elements of'easy listening music'. It also inclu-des any form of jazz, folk, countryand ethnic music which are notelectronically amplified and anymusic first recorded before 1

January 1960 or faithfully repr9-duced subsequently."

Radio Authority chairman LordChalfont explains the 1960 cut-offdate had been arrived at after pro-longed discussion, "It was aquestion of making a judgement onthe date. We have a broad age -span

in the Authority and all argumentswere put forward. Some peoplewanted a mid -'50s date, somewanted a later date. We arrived atthe 1960 date by a process of dis-cussion. I can't give it any more cre-dence than that, I'm afraid."

Head of regulation Paul Brownsays, "There are some tracks byElvis Presley that would clearly fitin. There some tracks by Elvis thatwould not fit in."

He adds that by judging musicover three-hour segments theAuthority hopes to prevent an appli-cant from using its 25% pop quotaduring key times "just because it ismore profitable".

CEO Peter Baldwin said sta-tions breaking their promise of pier-

formance could face a range ofsanctions from the Authority, inclu-ding warnings, fines and, ultimately,removal of the licence.

The Authority will not monitorthe station's output, but will operatea "complaints -led regime" under

Nataf Virgin Records/France President

by Jacqueline Eacott

Virgin Records/France andVirgin Group/France presidentPatrick Zelnik has announcedhis departure as president of therecord company. He will be focu-sing on developments within theVirgin Group.

Zelnik is promoting A&R di-rector Fabrice Nataf to new pre-sident of Virgin Records. Zelnikwill continue to oversee all theactivities of the company in

France.The scale of Virgin's expansion

during the last two years has for-ced Zelnik to spend less time run-ning the record company. He hadbeen involved with several newdevelopments, such as creatingthe Megastore retail chain (threestores to date and two more ex-pected to open this year), filmand video production and distri-bution and computer software.

The Virgin Group in France,which plans to restructure as aholding company, has grossed

more than Ffr 1.2 billion (app.US$ 240 million). Zelnik is alsopresident of French trade organi-sation, SNEP.

Nataf joins top record companyexecutives, who, like Polydor'sMarc Lumbroso and BarclayPhilippe Constantin, have servedas A&R people. His track record in-cludes signing Mano Negra,Etienne Daho, Liane Foly andEric Serra.

Zelnik's move may have beenprompted by rumours that Natafwas offered Lumbroso's positionat Polydor. Lumbroso will beleaving the company at the begin-ning of the year to set up his ownlabel in connection withPolyGram.

A management reshuffle is re-portedly expected at Virgin inJanuary. It is also rumoured thatVirgin France is setting up a labelto be managed by current head ofVirgin Publishing Emmanuel deBuretel, following a statementmade by Virgin boss RichardBranson last May.

UK Radio Licence Rules DisclosedHere is a summary of the keypoints in the UK RadioAuthority's guidelines for the in-dependent national radio licence.

The station must be "aservice which consists wholly ormainly in the broadcasting ofmusic which... is not pop music".

Excluding advertisingand sponsorship credits, at least75% of airtime in any three-hourperiod must be devoted to music.The remaining 25% can bespeech or music. Non -pop musicquota is 25%.

In addition to the cashbid and the licence fee, winningbidders will have to pay 4% of"qualifying revenue" to theTreasury.

The service will be ex-pected to cover about 85% of theUK population within two yearsof award.

Programme proposals

must "consist of a diversity ofprogrammes calculated to appealto a variety of tastes and inte-rests". The Authority believesthis statutory requirement will besatisfied by broadcasting theworks of a number of differentartists and composers over a six -hour period.

Closing date for applica-tions is 22 April 1991. The eight -year licence will be awarded by theend of July. The highest cash bidwins, but applicants must pass aquality threshold, both in terms offinancial backing and expertise.

All applicants must paya non -returnable deposit of£ 10.000. They will then receive a50 -page licence document.

The licence fee payableto the Radio Authority will be justunder £ 1 million per year, based ona published tariff and payable fromthe date of granting the licence.

New Czech Private Lines Up Backingby Paul Andrews

A new company is preparingplans to launch a national privatestation in Czechoslovakia thisspring with "substantial" backingfrom a French radio network. Adeal is expected to be finalised bythe end of January, under whichthe unnamed French companywill take out a stake of up to 50%in the Czech group, Hello World.

Negotiations are being handledby the Munich subsidiary of USmedia brokerage and consultancyCommunications EquityAssociates (CEA). WhileCEA/Germany MD StephanGoetz declined to identify the in-vestor or the value of its prospec-tive stake, he claims, "It is a veryserious interest from a majorradio group. A substantial amountof money is involved, and we aretalking about a significant mino-rity stake."

Goetz adds that CEA has beenadvising the Czech group on itsfinancing for some time, as wellas seeking potential Western part-ners for the venture and providinginformation on the radio industry.

"It's a very seriousinterest from amajor radio group.A substantialamount of moneyis involved."

-Stephan Goetz

Hello World is a consortium setup specifically for the nationalprivate radio projects. Althoughheaded by economist PavelSetvak, most of its members havea background in Czech publicradio. They plan to launch whatGoetz describes as a "nationalmusic, cultural and informationchannel" for a broad -based au-dience. "If there is no politicalopposition to hold things up," headds, "then with the help of theFrench it should not take morethan three months to set up thestation."

No definite go-ahead has" yetbeen given for the proposed newservice, however. The federalstructure of Czechoslovakia may

also prevent it going national im-mediately, since separate broad-casting licences may have to beobtained from the regional gover-nments in Bohemia and Slovakia.

If French investment in the sta-tion goes ahead, it will becomethe latest in a series of such dealsstruck between French andEastern European broadcastersduring the last year. Europe 1 isalready a partner in Prague'sEuropa Plus, as well as a stationof the same name in Moscow,while the Nostalgie, RFM andFun networks all have FM outletsin Moscow.

UK RevealsNew INRLicense FeesFor BiddersBidders for INR licences are nottalking much about the expectedsize of the winning cash bid.However, Radio Authority CEOPeter Baldwin says he anticipa-tes transmission costs would bebetween £ 3-4 million annually.In addition to the cash bid and a £1 million licence fee, the winnerwill also have to pay 4% of ad-vertising revenue to the gover-nment.

Baldwin says, "This is the keydecision that the Authority hasmade in advertising this licence.We have chosen that figure as aresult of merchant bank adviceand our own deliberations, be-cause the relationship betweenthe 4% of qualifying revenue andthe cash bid is the correct ba-lance. We could have made a hig-her percentage of qualifying re-venue but if people see that theyare going to pay 4% then theywill put more into their cash bid."

Here are the range of costs forlocal and national licences. Feesare based on the adult (15+) pop-ulation coverage for each licencearea. The current fees for servi-ces on FM are:

Coverage Fee (per 1.000)100.000 £ 4 per year100.000-300.000 £ 8 per year300.000-600.000 £16 per year600.000-1.000.000 £25 per year

JICRAR TALKS PROGRESS

AIRC, BBC Move Close To Agreementby Hugh Fielder

The Association of IndependentRadio Contractors (AIRC) is

considering delaying its timetablefor putting the new JICRARcontract out to tender afterencouraging talks with the BBC.

Chairman of the AIRC'sJICRAR committee, Capital MDNigel Walmsley, says it is

optimistic to suggest commercialradio and the BBC are ready toagree to a joint system ofaudience measurement. He adds,however, that recent meetingshave been constructive. "There isa common aim between us and ifwe continue to make the samekind of progress over the nextfew months then an agreement isperfectly possible."

The new contract, whether forJICRAR alone or for JICRAR andthe BBC, is likely to attract bidsfrom several companies. UScompany Arbitron has already

Nigel Walmsley

announced its intention of biddingfor the next JICRAR contract.

The current JICRARarrangement, currently held byRSGB, expires at year-end. TheAIRC had intended to put thecontract out to tender in lateJanuary and award a newcontractor in June, which wouldtake over at the beginning of

1992.But AIRC's marketing executive

James Galpin says if an agreementin principle with the BBC is likelywithin a month or so, then RSGBcould be given an extension to itsexisting contract. That contract hasalready been extended by a yearwhile a new contract to measureradio audiences for independentstations and the BBC is drawn up.

Reportedly, an agreement hasalready been reached and the

JICRAR diary method is the"sovereign" system for measuringaudiences. Discussions are nowcentred on the level of audiencemeasurement needed by both sidesand the cost. The BBC'sspecifications using the diarysystem would apparently increasethe cost to more than double thatcurrently paid by each side.

Meanwhile, the next JICRARfigures for the fourth quarter willnow be published in two weeksinstead of early February as had

Epic, RCA InstalNew Promo ExecsEpic and RCA have started 1991with new heads of promotion.

Adrian Williams has movedfrom RCA to Epic, which has nothad a head of promotion sinceRichard Evans returned toFlemming & Smallman inSeptember. RCA has replacedhim with Nick Godwyn, who leftVirgin to become director of pro-motions.

Says Epic marketing directorKit Buckler, "Adrian has all theattributes we were looking for andhe's already got his first single ontothe BBC Radio 1 playlist. Lookingat our release schedule over thenext three months, we've got al-bums coming up from AlexanderO'Neal, Will To Power andMotorhead. In addition there's anew album from Gloria Estefanand the George Michael albumstill has a way to run. So we are

well set up. Adrian just needs tofill one vacancy in his departmentfor radio promotion."

"My primary objective thisyear is to break a home-grownact. We've got a Scottish bandcalled The Apples who've beengetting a great reaction on pre-release and they'll be getting amajor promotional push for theirdebut single next month."

RCA MD Lisa Anderson saysGodwyn was her first choice."What really pleases me is thatNick wants to play a full part inhelping to shape company policy,which is a break from the tradi-tional role of promotions people."

Virgin is now left with the taskof finding a new promotionalhead, although head of radioTony Barker has assumed therole on a temporary basis.

SMN Offers SyndicatedSpecials To UK Stations

by Paul Easton

US syndicator Satellite MusicNetwork (SMN) plans to concen-trate more of its marketing effortson its weekly special programmes.

Reason for the partial switch instrategy from an emphasis on sel-ling an entire format: the growingEuropean market for weekly andone-off specials and the continuedadvertising slowdown.

Bob Kennedy, who representsSMN in Europe, says the currentbusiness environment is likely tomake syndication more attractiveto many stations. "It enables sta-tions to improve their program-ming with slicker presentation ofsome formats than than theycould do themselves. However, Ithink full-time use of our formatsis still a long way away."

Kennedy adds, "All the spe-cials come out of the existingformats and can be taken live orrecorded for later transmission.By doing this only the music andthe DJ presentation comes via thesatellite. Everything else such asnews, commercials and jingles isstill originated locally. It is evenpossible for the show's presenterto record special promos andjingles for a particular station."

SMN has already been givingEuropean broadcasters a taster bytesting six formats in the UK andItaly via the Panamsat satellite(see M&M 22 September).Kennedy says some UK commer-cial stations are taking an interestin the two shows available, "Z -Rock Countdown" and "CountryCountdown", although there areno definite takers as yet.

Pressure Eases ToSplit Frequencies

by Paul Easton

Commercial stations which haveto split their frequencies are un-likely to face immediate pressurefrom the new Radio Authority.

The Authority's head of regula-tion Paul Brown says the deci-sion to provide separate program-ming on FM and AM is being leftto the stations, despite thegovernment's earlier intention toend simulcasting by 1995.

Says Brown, "It will be up tothe Radio Authority to decidewhat to do when station licencescome up for renewal in 1994/5. Ifthey have not split by then wewill have to decide whether to ad-vertise their frequencies as sepa-rate licences."

Among the 13 stations still tosplit frequencies are some of thelarger medium -market stations,such as Devonair/Exeter,Swansea Sound, HerewardRadio/Peterborough and RadioMercury/Crawley. Only stationsawarded franchises more thantwo years ago are simulcasting onFM and AM. The newer stationswere allocated either FM or AMfrequencies by the IndependentBroadcasting Authority.

Most operators say the econo-mic recession has been to blamein many cases. For example,Hereward had planned to splitlast summer until plans werepostponed several months beforethe intended launch.

Radio Mercury MD JohnAumonier says his station willeventually split, but he is

concerned about doing it pro-perly, which means profitably."One problem we have, if youcan call it a problem, is that 70%of our transmission area is over-lapped by London stations. Andwe are also overlapped by neigh-bouring independent stations, sothere is already a lot of radio."

Aumonier explains the station'scurrent programming already in-cludes about 60% oldies, whichputs it in competition withCapital Gold and CountySound's First Gold AM.

"We are looking at the possibi-lity of some co-operation withour neighbours, but we also wantto see what comes out of the firstindependent national radio stationbefore making any final deci-sion," adds Aumonier.

A similar view is taken by MikeStewart, programme controller at

Invicta Rescues Mellow 1557by Hugh Fielder

Invicta has taken control of fi-nancially strapped Essex localstation Mellow 1557 by convert-ing its 100.000 £ 1 redeemablepreference shares. The move in-creases Invicta's stake from 20%to 100%.

Invicta MD Nigel Reeve saysthe move protects Invicta'sinterest in the station that waslaunched last October, onlyafter Invicta came in with a res-cue package. Mellow operatesfrom its Clacton base with astaff of five, and provides its

own programming from 07.00-14.00 and 18.00-22.00. It takesInvicta's FM service for the re-maining hours.

Reeve says, "It's taking awhile for the station to find itsfeet, but with the current level ofcosts we are confident that itwill succeed. In fact it's the waywe see a lot of smaller stationsgoing."

Mellow 1557 is aimed at the25-45 age group. Reeve says theevening programming has a verystrong community -based ele-ment with plenty of volunteerson hand to work.

Station To Trim WorkforceInvicta Radio wants save about£ 250.000 over the next ninemonths by shedding 11 jobs, redu-cing the company's workforce to55 people.

The reason: the slowdown inadvertising. The redundancies willhit the sales, programming and ad-ministration departments. Only thenews department is emerging un-scathed.

MD Nigel Reeve says,"I amvery aware that if you cut too

much then you simply damageyour own product. "But the mar-ket has slowed down, and I see noprospect of it improving in theforseeable future. It has nowstarted to affect local advertisingwhich makes up 70% of our re-venue and, therefore, there is noalternative to the action we havetaken if we are to safeguard thestation's profitability."

Invicta will announce its an-nual results next week. HF

Radio Audience Increases By 1 m; RTL

102.5 No.1 Growth of Topby David Stansfield

Italian daily radio listening hasincreased by about one million tosome 45 million during the lastquarter, based on the latestDatamedia Top Radar research.

RTL 102.5 Hit Radio ended1990 as Italy's fastest growing ofthe country's 10 largeststations/networks. Radio ItaliaSMI, which was the second fast-est growing of the top 10, alsohad the largest increase in list-eners (77.000). Still holding thenumber one spot in total listenerswas RAI.

Programme director at RadioDimensione Suono, BrunoPloyer, says, "It is encouragingto see almost one million morelisteners. The most interestingthing is that there is more listenerloyalty than in the past.Overlapping is decreasing.Listeners are learning to spot thedifference between one stationand another."

Radio Italia Solo, the nation-ally produced music -only stationhas continued to increase its au-dience ratings. The two recentlylaunched gold stations, RadioCapital and 105 Classic, bothenjoyed audience gains. RadioCapital, the Milan -based inter-provincial station with a'70s/early '80s dance music for-mat is now attracting 350.000daily listeners, an increase of72.000 on results published forJuly -September. National station105 Classic has more than doub-led its daily audience with cur-rent statistics of 375.000.

Station director at RadioDeeJay and Radio CapitalClaudio Astorri comments,"Radio Capital had a 35% au-dience gain over the last threemonths. Listeners find the formatinteresting and original."

Meanwhile, Datamedia presi-dent Luigi Crespi has confirmedthat the latest Top Radar research

are not enough. We intend to pro-vide both a quantitative andqualitative service to stations."Global Radio Research includesstatistics on target identification,popularity of presenters and mu-sical genres.

Stations wishing to have onlylistener statistics will be accomo-dated, and fees will depend onservices.

Crespi wants to supply a com-plete consultancy service for up to10 private networks. These wouldbe provided with their ownDatamedia consultant. New GRRdata could cost some stations upto L 50 million (app. US$ 44.800)a year.

"With Top Radar the industrywas finally in a position to look atcurrent research over a wholeyear. But it is the end of an era.The days of opposition betweenAudiradio and Datamedia areover," says Crespi.

Radio Capital Airs Ads; Finds First SponsorsMilan -based dance station RadioCapital is now airing advertisingand has found its first pro-gramme sponsors.

Station director ClaudioAstorri claims current statisticsshow the station has an averagedaily audience of 207.000.

Launched in June last year,Radio Capital has a '70s/early'80s dance music format. Initiallybroadcasting only music andjingles, its policy was not to airadvertising until it had becomeestablished with listeners. Clubsand discotheques were the firstadvertising clients, but currentclients include banks, jewellersand car manufacturers.Sponsored special segments aredevoted to individual artists.

Radio Capital broadcasts in 14northern provinces, and Astorrisays there is no local split for ad-verts aired. "Discos and clubs

were the first to discover a sta-tion that played the same musicthey do. But, with our 25-44 yearold audience target group, othercompanies have found an impor-tant outlet. And their adverts arebroadcast simultaneously

"Discos and clubswere the first to disco-ver the station"

Claudio Astorri

through all 14 provinces," saysAstorri.

Other new moves at the sta-tion include the introduction ofa speaker who announces songsplayed each half hour. Twenty -minute specials devoted to ar-tists such as Barry White,Donna Summer, Diana Rossand Michael Jackson are alsobeing aired.

Radio Capital broadcasts livefrom 08.00-20.00. Astorri ex-plains the differences to otherlive stations, "Live usuallymeans DJs on air but in our caseit does not. We have technicianswho put the songs in the rightorder to suit our format. Thatway we can control the se-quence, hour of day, the musicmood and sound codes." Astorriadds the station plans to extendits live broadcasting in the nearfuture. DS



T.O.N. Airs Star*Sat;Creates Powerful FM Outlet

by Howard Shannon

Star*Sat is now supplying over-night and special weekend pro-grammming for regional privateRadio T.O.N./Bad Mergentheim(Baden-Wurttemberg). RadioT.O.N. is now the single mostimportant FM outlet in Germanyfor Star* Sat, the three -year -oldMunich -based EHR cable and sa-tellite station.

Until now, Star*Sat had onlybeen available to car and porta-ble radio listeners in Germanyvia three minor FM private sta-tions in and around Munich.None has transmitter powerabove 0.3 kW. The Baden -'Wurttemberg private is substan-tially higher, at 45kW.

Says Radio T.O.N. programmedirector Wolff Benning, "I waslooking for another sustainingservice to take over on January 1,the date we left the Radio 7group (five local stations centredaround a sales house, with onecharging for an overnightsustaining service).

"Star*Sat comes in on satel-lite, is free, and, as we had al-ready decided to switch to a new

Baden-Wurttemberg sales house,the move seemed natural. Mymain cost in changing over is DM6.000 (app. US$ 4.000) investedin computer opt -out jingles, dueto come on-line mid -February."

While Benning declined to sayhow much the station might savein subscription costs to Radio 7,he now expects to air an extra150 hours per month of in-houseprogramming.

Martin SchmitzCommenting on his new

client's decision, Star*Sat market-ing director Martin Schmitzsays, "This deal is of paramountimportance to us. Radio T.O.N.'s

powerful transmitter adds a possi-ble extra 1.5 million listeners oilFM."

The agreement means Star*Satnow claims a potential pan-European audience of 22 million.

Radio T.O.N., which broad-casts to the cities of Frankfurt,Stuttgart, Mannheim andNuremberg, is responsible for allroyalty payments and is obligedto air Star*Sat commercials aspart of the package. It claims adaily audience of 180.000.

Explajns Schmitz, "For sheertransmitter power, Radio T.O.N.is second only to another of ourrebroadcast clients, that of thetwo -month -old German -languageRadio Plus Monte Carlo/ -Southern France, which pumpsout 150kw." Schmitz says he un-derstands that the deal is opera-ting on a trial basis.

However, Radio Plus MonteCarlo programme directorGunter Ehrig has confirmed toMusic & Media that he is "de-lighted" with Star*Sat and in-tends to carry its overnight pro-gramming permanently. "I mighteven pick up on their specialistshows," he says.

INCORPORATION POSSIBLE IN AUTUMN

ZDF Poised To Control ItsFirst Radio Station

It is looking increasingly likelyTV channel ZDF will assume re-sponsibility for the two Berlinpublic service RIAS FM stations.This would give the TV station itsfirst direct involvement withradio.

RIAS 1 and 2 programme di-rector Hanns-Peter Herz says heexpects the all -clear for "integra-tion" to be given in mid -Februaryduring a meeting with the Germanbroadcasting minister to discusschanges in the country's medialaws.

within a month. "This new mid -February target came out of a pre-liminary meeting we hadDecember 20, which basically de-cided more time was needed," hesays. "ZDF could then integratethe two RIAS stations within thecourse of this year - probably byautumn."

Herz says it is too early to spe-culate on possible programmingchanges, although he did confirmRIAS would remain public ser-vice with no likelihood of thechannels airing commercials.

Herz: "This new mid -February targetcame out of a preliminary meeting wehad December 20. ZDF could then inte-grate the two RIAS stations within theyear - probably by autumn."

However, crucial to this meet-ing will be prior agreement by themedia authorities of all 16

German "laender" (states). Theyeffectively control public serviceZDF, and would have to approveany organisational changes thatwould enable it take over theradio services. Nevertheless, itwould not be necessary for ZDFto "buy" the two RIAS radiochannels, as finance could comefrom the existing radio and TVtax.

Herz is confident the various"laender" meetings currentlyunder way will be completed

RIAS 1 has a speech/MOR musicmix and RIAS 2 is an EHR sta-tion.

RIAS (Radio In the AmericanSector) was originally founded bythe US government as a propa-ganda station for Berlin and EastGermany, and is still financed di-rectly by the US InformationAgency and the German Federalgovernment. Unlike the other re-gional public service stations (in-cluding Berlin's SFB) in the for-mer West Germany, because of itsspecial status RIAS is not a mem-ber of the ARD umbrella organi-sation. HS

9% Ad Growth For 1991Reunification is cited by aGerman market research group asthe underlying reason for a pro-jected 6-9% growth in all adspend, with most of this genera-ted by new business in what wasformerly East Germany. Radioaccounted for about 4% of the1990 advertising total of DM 24billion (app. US$ 16.32 billion),though industry sources say in1991 the radio share should in-crease to around 6%.

Congress Backs Ads For MunicipalRadio; Senate Approval Expected

by Anna Marie de la Fuente

Spanish Congress has ratified twobills allowing municipal radio sta-tions to air commercials, includinglocal council election campaignads. While the bill still needsSenate approval, the government isexpected to pass the legislation.

The law will allow more than8.000 municipal councils to setup their own FM stations, backedby local government subsidiesand commercial advertising.However, reportedly only some1.000 municipals will be grantednew licences. An estimated 400municipal stations have alreadybeen operating, some since 1979.although less than 10 are legal.

The moves were strongly op-posed by private radio associationAERP and right-wing partyGrupo Popular. Opposition partyGrupo Popular spokespersonRogelio Baon expressed his par-ty's disagreement with the propo-sal, saying, "The state is trying tosilence private broadcastingthrough the proliferation of publicstations." The AERP has statedthere is no public demand for

more than 8.000 radio stations.Spain has the third -highest

number of commercial stations(about 900), based on researchconducted by Carat Inter-national. Spanish commercialstations earned in 1989 aboutUS$ 734.000 in advertising, 68%higher than the European averageof US$ 436.000, based on an ana-lysis of Carat's "1990 EuropeanRadio Minibook."

The Catalonia region currentlyhas the most stations, with 170.Last year, on November 9, the

Catalonian government decidedmunicipal stations must remainnon-profit making, although itdid not rule out advertising.Some of the Catalonian stationshave already been acceptingspots, but at rates much lowerthan the private stations.

It is unlikely the new stationswill start broadcasting beforethe forthcoming municipal elec-tions in May. State officials in-dicate the new laws will not ap-pear in the statute books untilFebruary.

New Regional NetworkBroadcasts In MurciaThe Southeastern region ofMurcia now has its own broad-casting network. ONDARegional De Murcia hit the air-waves in early December aftertwo weeks of test transmissions.

The network, which reaches90% of the region, airs a 24 -hourprogramming mix of news, musicand local interest shows. By thefirst quarter of 1991 the network

RNE 1 Temporarily UsingCanal Pop FrequencyFormer staff members of CanalPop, state -run RNE 4's pop sta-tion that quit broadcastingDecember 22, were surprised themorning after to hear RNE 1transmitting from the defunct ra-dio's FM frequency.

Former Canal Pop program-ming head Carlos Garrido, nowprogramming co-ordinator at re-vamped RNE 3, says it is only atemporary arrangement. He couldnot predict how long the situationwould last.

Miguel Bose, former co-ordi-nator of Canal Pop, says in thelast few months the station wasdoing well, and earning a sub-stantial amount of advertising.

"That is why I do not understandwhy they have stopped a success-ful and inexpensive program-ming," he adds.

Aside from budget restraints,the main reason cited for pullingthe plug on Canal Pop was thatits programming was similar tothe revamped RNE 3. "The fre-quency did not belong to RNE,"adds Carlos Garrido.

"It had only been leased bythe state telecommunications. Wefeel we have been bamboozled,"complains one staff member."They told us the frequency hadto be returned and now it turnsout Radio 1 is using it."

AdIF

ONDA regional's directorValentin Contreras estimates thenetwork has a potential listeningaudience of 1.2 million, and canbe received in the neighbouringprovinces of Alicante, Almeriaand Albacete.

The Murcian government al-lotted the network a budget ofPta 160 million (app. US$ 1.7million) for 1990, out of whichPta 125 million went toward theinstallation of the studios andtechnical equipment. The 1991budget is Pta 250 million.

ONDA Regional De Murciarelies on correspondents in NewYork, Paris and other major citiesto report on concerts and othermusic -related events to serviceits daily music news show "RockExpress". Prior to that, from16.00-20.00 the daily "Formula1" programme features a mix ofoldies and new releases.

The station has a strong com-mitment to local talent, airing aregular evening show, "MusicaDe Contrabando" from 21.00-22.00, which features interviewsand sessions from new bands.

International Labels Move Into Czechoslovakiaby Peter Belohlavek

Despite rumours that foreign rec-ord companies are planning to setup shop in Czechoslovakia, theUK's Mute Records might havebeat them to the punch.

Mute is likely to sign with rec-ord company Globus Inter-national, which have links withthe state-owned stores Kniha.Mute is also negotiating with otherlocal distribution companies.

Starting this month, Mute willbe independently releasing LPsand MCs. The company has al-ready been represented inCzechoslovakia for the past year.Jiri Vatka is currently managingMute's operations in Czecho-slovakia, and will issue any newreleases, as well as titles from thecatalogue.

To date, Sony Music is theonly major record company tohave a base in Prague.

The Rolling Stones' SteelWheels LP was its debut releasein co-operation with'local recordcompany Bonton Records.

Sony music has not yet agreedon a distribution deal and intendsto concentrate mainly on chainstores and on independent distri-butors.

However, another Czech rec-ord label with a foreign back-ground and expansion plans isPopron. The company is

actively working with Germanrecord stockist, LRS, fromB acknang/B aden -Wurttemberg .

LRSowner Peter Schier ex-ports LPs and CDs (both chartand back -catalogue releases) toCzechoslovakia via Popron. Hehas also obtained non-exclu-sive licensing rights for back -catalogues of BMG, Poly -Gram, WEA, Teldec andVirgin.

Purple AlbumSets PrecedentFor the first time in Czecho-slovakia'si infant rock & rollhistory, a record was releasedin the country on the same dayas other territories.

The breakthrough title: DeepPurple's Slaves And Masters.

Until now, new chart re-leases had always been issuedwith a considerable delay.

WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY

Extra 108 Plays For Timeby Paul Andrews

Extra 108/Amsterdam is to stayon air for at least a further twomonths, reversing its previousdecision to close down onDecember 31 (M&M December22).

The local non-commercialCHR station has decided to ac-cept an offer from the city'sbroadcasting umbrella body.Salto, of an "open-ended" con-tract to continue its service.Salto can terminate the agree-ment on two months' noticeonce it is ready to launch a com-mercial station, in conjunctionwith local press groups (as re-quired by the new media law).This will take over the fre-quency which Extra currentlyshares with Unique FM.

Extra 108 management boardmember Ferry van Beek doesnot expect the replacement ser-vice to be ready before October,and says his station will use its"stay of execution" to lobby forchanges in the rules governingDutch local radio.

"We talked to our backers,who have formed a supportcommittee to help us, and ag-reed that if we gave up now thenall our efforts up to now wouldhave come to nothing," says vanBeek.

"We would no longer haveany influence. By staying on air,we can use our transmitter toprise Salto from the stance it hastaken on this issue."

Van Beek adds the stationwould like to see Salto's licenceto operate all four ofAmsterdam's local frequencieswithdrawn, and an end to "this

"If only one newspaper wereallowed in each town, therewould be an uproar," continues

van Beek. "But that is exactlythe situation we have with radio,and it's time it was looked into."

Extra 108 intends to cam-paign against the "monopoly"control of local radio in theNetherlands, which has beenpermitted to become commer-cial since January 1.

RTL Upgrades StudiosRTL/Luxembourg has expandedfacilities at its new Kirchberg stu-dio complex with the purchase of asecond DAMS digital audio sto-rage and retrieval system, and theupgrading of its existing model.

The equipment waspurchased from IX firm RacomBroadcast, which manufacturesand distributes the Australian -de-signed DAMS in Europe.

STATION OPERATIONS

Broadcast Hardware/Software Round -Up

RA Scores Technical KnockoutAgainst UK Studio Standards

by Andy Bantock

January 1 heralded a new dawnin commercial radio regulation inthe UK. The IBA may have beenreplaced by the RadioAuthority, but what effect willthis change really have on newand existing station engineers?To find out I went to the RadioAuthority's offices in theBrompton Road to chat to newlyappointed head of engineeringMark Thomas.

It is clear that the RA's "ligh-ter touch" principle goes all theway through the organisation toengineering. Mark pointed outthat the RA's role in engineeringwill be very different to the oldIBA's. The staffing level will beminimal: Mark, a deputy andthree contracted engineers from

NTL (the old IBA engineering)are now handling a lot of the pre -transmission testing duties.

The most dramatic change inlegislation is the complete drop-ping of any studio equipment stan-dards. The RA believes that this istruly an area where market forcescan take a lead. Although to manyengineers the thought of usinganything other than the best pro-fessional equipment is horrific, it isa fact that new stations will need toget on -air with much smaller bud-gets than has been the norm so far.Any station foolish enough to at-tempt to run a 24 -hour service witha disco console will soon find outwhy they should have spent theextra money on better gear.

The RA will remain in fullcontrol with the standards gover-ning transmission equipment.

Mark is in the process of writingthe specifications for both localand national licences and theywill be published early this year.The local licence specs will bevirtual a re -run of the ones lastseen with the incremental sta-tions which came on -air during1990. These specifications haveworked well and manufacturersare able to supply attractivelypriced equipment to suit.

The specifications for the na-tional licences will be the samein most respects, although someof the tolerances will be tighter.Additionally, national licenceholders will not be allowed ac-cess to their sub -carriers otherthan for basic RDS facilities. Thenational sub -carrier spectrumwill be offered as a separate fran-chise. National licensees will not

MAKING WAVES

be allowed to broadcast untilthey can guarantee a certainamount of coverage (roughlyequal to seven main transmit-ters), but will be allowed to starton lower power from these sitesbefore increasing. Subsequently,they must have a fuller service(around 20 stations or 80% of thetotal available audience) withintwo years.

Andy Bantock is a regular contri-butor to the Station Operationshardware( software feature, whichappears monthly in M&M. Havingstarted in radio with the BBC in1980 as a technical operator, hehas worked as a presenter, ma-nager, engineer, operator, and de-signer. More recently, Andy set uphis own broadcast consultancy,handling both engneering and pro-gramming.

Programme controller PeteWagstaff: "WABC was launchedafter it was discovered that theexploding 55+ demographic inthe West Midlands wasn't beingcatered for. That service has justbeen extended to Shropshire.There's a high percentage of 15-24 year olds, but you miss out onthe middle range before anotherhigh percentage of 40+ which thelocal BBC stations pick up verywell. So we took up the option forthe separate AM service beforethe Independent BroadcastingAuthority disappeared.

"We have not yet adjusted anyof our formats in the light of theadditional local radio serviceswhich have started up in the area.You've got to wait and see whatthose stations do. We've got blackmusic station Buzz, which reach-es our overlap area, but I have noresearch to see how they've done.Then there's Echo 96 from Stokeplaying contemporary music, butI've no research on them either.So I think it would be foolish toadjust our format until the resultsof the next couple of audiencesurveys. We've certainly beefedup our promotions in the area, butthat's all I'm prepared to do at themoment.

"I'm a firm believer in doingthe same thing 24 hours a day. Idon't have a rock show, but I playrock tracks during the day on

Beacon. I don't have a rock showbecause I have no evidence that itworks. I do have evidence thatsays it doesn't work.

"I know top 40 works. And Ialso believe that we break newbands because 15% of the chartsat any one time are bands thatyou haven't heard of before. Weplayed Happy Mondays beforethey were a hit and there areplenty of other examples. At theend of the day, if the song is goodenough it will be played on radio.But I'm not going to put a bandon just because they're fromWolverhampton. It's pointless.You must put out your best possi-ble team and that includes themusic and the presenters.

"We have just installed theDAMS system and are raising thelevel of the desks because 70% ofthe DJs are already standing up topresent their shows. DAMS is im-portant because it makes a pre-senter's life easier and gives themmore time to think And the moretime they have to think the betterthings they will say and the moretheir personality will comethrough.

"My budget meant I had tochoose between installing DAMSor Selector. I think I can pick themusic as well as Selector. I can'tpick it as quickly as Selector andI make mistakes, same asSelector. It won't take away your

troubles, it just makes your lifeeasier. But I still get a kick out ofprogramming the music. That'snot the only reason I do it, ob-viously, but it's a kick to pick aBeatles track and hear it comingout of the radio in three weeks'time.

"I consider the service I getfrom record companies excellent.,I have no problems whatsoever.The reps and people in London Ispeak to are always co-operative.I try to keep them informed aboutwhat we are doing as much asthey keep me informed. And Idon't take more copies than Ineed."

Moneytalks - AtcoThe dollarpaper sleeve design starringAngus as Mr. President has already cau-sed the band legal trouble. However, theoverwhelming guitar riffs and shriekingvocals should't give them any trouble inreaching hard rock programmers.

BananaramaPreacher Man - LondonStrong hooks and strong looks. A catchytune with undeniable pop appeal. Watchthe striking harp solo in the middle.

Black LakeWar.. No War (The Hidden Flower) - CNRA hard-hitting, militant synthy-rock trackfrom this Dutch act. Boosted by a heavyproduction.

BlackboxThe Total Mit -de/Construction/RCAA sequenced and remixed version ofBlackboxed faves, including the Italohouse tracks Ride On Time, I Don'tKnow Anybody Else and Everybody,Everybody.

Kim CarnegieJazz Rap - Best/BMGA Lena Lovich-like voice rapping on amesmerising house beat. Likely to setdancefloors on fire.

Paolo ConteHappy Feet - CGDGood-time music to clap your hands byand shuffle your feet. The classy Italianlawyer hits back with this cool -jazz tune.Most charming.

Damn YankeesHigh Enough - Warner BrothersThis bunch is run by heavy weights JackBlades, Tommy Shaw and Ted Nugent.The chorus of this medium -paced song isstadium rock at its best.

Dr. AlbanHello Afrika - SwemixILogiclAriolaPounding, tribal drums dominate thispoppy rap for African unity. FeaturingLeila K, and currently taking Europe bystorm - charted in Germany (no. 12),Italy (19), Sweden (13) and Greece (17).Expect the rest of Europe to follow suit.

Gloria EstefanComing Out Of The Dark - EpicComeback in glory after a heavy tourbusaccident, Estefan shines in this gospel -type of song. Inspired by the strong bac-king vocals, she climbs her way back tothe top.

Flash TraxTime For The Party - Red BulletA muscular, techno-driven house/rap rec-ord, featuring Black Male at the mike.Typical club material.

Billy JoelAnd So It Goes - ColumbiaProduced by Foreigner's Mick Jones andtaken from the latest Storm Front album.Actually, the storm has somewhat calmeddown on this typical Joel ballad, featuringsole piano and vocals.

NiagaraPendant Que Les Champs Brulent -

PolydorCurious combination of raw -edged gui-tars, dance rhythms and fascinating femalevocals. The single goes with three diffe-rent mixes. Try the dance remix.

David Lee RothLil' Ain't Enough - Warner BrothersThe first single and titletrack from theforthcoming album, is a relentless hardrock song, boosted by a powerful produc-tion of Bob Rock.

The Sisters Of MercyDoctor Jeep - Merciful Releasel East WestDifferent but rather monotonous record, ina bare production by Andrew Eldritch.

Vanishing PointJosephine - RCA/BMGA medium -tempo rock track with a lazy -sung chorus that needs repeated plays tofully appreciate its impact.

ALBUMS

Absent FriendsHere's Looking Up Your Adress -

rooArtlPhonogramAustralia in excess. Set up by composerSean Kelly and featuring INXS bassplayerGary Beers, this is an interesting and dan-ceable collection of adventurous pop, per-formed by a changing set of players.Particularly Wendy Matthews's lead vo-cals demand immediate attention. Theblissful I Don't Wanna Be With NobodyBut You is a strong airplay contender.

Arthur H

Arthur H - PolydorHe looks like Pogues' singer ShaneMcGowan and sings like Tom Waits. Withhis scruffy voice, the cool -jazz piano tin-kling and the acoustic bass of Brad Scott,this 13 -track CD is a must for every se-rious album programmer. Nightclub musicat its best. Recommended: CoolAndora and Quai no. 3.

Blue PearlNaked - Big LifelPolydorWhere ambient house meets soul music.The collaboration of Youth (ex -KillingJoke) and American session singer (PinkFloyd's 1989 tour) Durga McBroom resultsin a highly accessible and hypnotic record.Featuring Floyd members David Gilmour

Atom SeedGet In Line - Heavy Metal (UK)Another example of the current trend ofmixing of hard rock with funk. The kind ofmusic invented by Mother's Finest some 15years ago and explored by The Red HotChili Peppers in the present. Atom Seedand producer Mark Flannery handle theirmaterial with the powers of destruction, butthey also know when to use a break.Contact: Clare Britt at tel. (44) 71-7270608; fax: 71-229 4061.

JamboJambo - Barn (South Africa)Reggae from the front-line struggle. Forsome the war has become a way of life, butnot for Jambo. They plead for peace, loveand brotherhood. In their homecountry thisalbum has already reached platinum status.

Check out the single No Man Kill. Contact:Teddy Mc Quiston at tel. (1) 504-885 1903;fax 516-932 8512.

Jimmy OihidJimmy Oihid - Musidisc (France)A well -kept secret from the north of Africa.This is the ultimate summer holiday music.Sing -a -long with Tah Al-Lil, certainly the besttrack on this album. Contact: FrancoisAsensio at tel. (33) 72-257 306; fax: 74-858836.

RomeosJuliet - Fuego/Rough Trade (Germany)Fresh popsongs by three lovesick Germans.The single Up And Down goes with an extra-ordinary chickenfeather package. No doubtJuliet will definitely fall for these Romeos.Contact tel. (49) 421-75111; fax: 421-74066.

and Rick Wright, best tracks include: theEuropean hit Naked In The Rain, the newsingle Little Brother and the striking KateBush cover, Running Up That Hill.

David CassidyDavid Cassidy - LiircinaFormer teenybopper returns with a newcareer and new album, his first since1985's Romance. No Partridge Family re-visited, but a bold, rocking statement bur-nished to an AOR sheen. Hi - HeelSneakers is worth checking with itsstraight, no-nonsense rock & roll stance.Also, try the power ballad Prisoner.

Joe HenryShuffletown - A&MThe second album of this exciting Americansinger/songwriter is very much like VanMorrisson in a semi -acoustic setting.Economically produced by T -Bone Burnett(Los Lobos, Elvis Costello), Henry's stylecould appeal to album rock and nightimeprogrammers. Best: John Hanging, featu-ring jazz trumpetplayer Don Cherry.

Kipper JonesOrdinal) Stay - Virgin AmericaPlain soul with modem rap influences.The emphasis is mostly on dance rhythmsespecially hip hop and GoGo. Check outShock Wave. Also try Footsteps In TheDark (the Isley Brothers original), a

smooth ballad, aptly handled by this pro-mising new American artist.

London PosseGangster Chronicle - Mango/IslandUK act delivers a solid set of 'rappea' - rapin a reggea style. Heavy bass overtonesform the basis for some punctuating rapsand free -style drum samples.

MindstormBack To Reality - BarricadeA great debut album from this promisingCanadian band, scheduled for release earlyFebruary. Their songs are rooted in the bestLed Zeppelin tradition, mellowed down bya dash of acoustic folk and enriched by aKate Bush -like feel. Hypnotic stuff.

ShazzyAttitude: A Hip -Hop Rapsody - ElektraTeaming up with producers John Gamble,Geebee Dajana and Dante Ross, this USfemale rapper respectfully strips nearly thewhole musical history of soul. Do YouRemember is a sentimental journeythrough funkland, recalling the names ofthe likes as Sly Stone, The Meters and, ofcourse, James Brown.

StingThe Soul Cages - A&MIntelligent and insightful pop with poeticimagery. European Hit Radio will embracethe ringing hooks of Mad About You andAll This Time while the title track is suita-ble for more album orientated formats.Mellow is the mood on this HughPadgham co -produced album.

Jeanne MasJeanne Mas is a few steps away from achieving another gold record in

her home country, France. The singer's latest album, "L'Art DesFemmmes", marks the fourth gold and one triple platinum award. Co -

produced by Piero Calabrese, the album boasts a sophisticated soundthat makes it a likely crossover contender. The album's first single, thedanceable 'Shakespeare', is a radical departure for the otherwise res-

trained style of Mas.

by Robbert Tilli

Having had several no. 1 hits in France,including Johnny, Johnny (1984) andL'Enfant (1986), Mas is well establishedin France. After the release of her self -tit-led debut album in 1985, Mas receivedtwo prestigious 'Les Victoires de laMusique' awards for 'Best FemaleRevelation' and 'Best Female Singer'.'The new album, although locally releasedon October 15 last year, is now due for re-lease in Italy, Germany, Spain,Scandinavia and Canada.

The German market has proved to bethe most receptive to Mas' poetic pop.Spain is also a prime export market, hel-ped by the singer's dual ancestry(French/Spanish). Although real crossovernever materialised, Mas's 1989 album LesCrises De L'Ame, reached no. 10 in theEuropean Top 100 Albums in 1989.

The new album, recorded in Paris and

in LA, kicks off with a poem written byBaudelaire. This sets the tone for the restof the album. Passion and poetry are cen-tral in the works of Jeanne Mas.

On the album, Mas continues workingwith bass -player Tony Levin (PeterGabriel) and Piero Calabrese in his dualrole as producer and keyboard player.

The album has received airplay onmany French stations including RTL, SudRadio in Toulouse, RVS in Rouen, RadioVitamine in Toulon, Radio Nantes aswell as Swiss' RSR La Premiere(Geneva) and Monte Carlo's Radio Plus.

As for the rest of Europe, airplay is stillminimal. But the Shakespeare single -

with its radio -friendly touch - couldchange this. "It will always be difficultbreaking French artists", says SophieCayre, exploitation manager at EMIFrance. "However, I am confident that thenew single stands a good chance of attrac-ting some foreign radio airplay."

Track RecordAlbums: Jeanne Mas (1985) peaked at no. 5 in France and reached double gold(200.000 copies sold); Femmes D'Aujourd'Hui (1986) no. 1, triple platinum (900.000);En Concert (1987) no. 15, gold; Les Crises De L'Ame (1989), gold; L'Art Des Femmes(1990) approaching gold.Singles: Toute Premiere Fois (1984), reached no. 1 in the French charts and achievedgold status (400.000); Johnny, Johnny (1985), no. 1, gold; Coeur en Stereo (1985), no.10 ; En Rouge et Noir (1986), no. 1, gold; L'Enfant (1986), no. 1, silver (200.000); LaBete Libre (1987), no, 13.Between 1984-1988, Jeanne Mas has sold a total of 4.6 million records.

OFF THE RECORD

The UK Radio Authority's de-finition of pop gets more comicalas time goes on. In its infinitewisdom, the Authority has de-creed 1960 pop's birthday. Now,rock is pop after 1960. But, rockis not pop before 1960. Putanother way, Jail house Rock(No.1 in 1959) is not pop. Elvismust be rolling over in his grave,or laughing all the way to thebank if he's alive. We really lovethe "faithful reproduction" aspectof pre -1960 music. We'll tell youwant the record people think nextweek.

The impact of the Authority'sindependent national radio guide-lines doesn't stop with pop. Thenew deregulation of programsponsorship and contesting/com-

petition rules for UK stations"will lift the lid on UK radio," sayindustry execs. But wait, there'smore. Word is that the new li-cense fee structure could save thelarger station upwards of £ 1 mil-lion a year. Nice windfall. Moredetails on all these changes in thenext issue.

Word is that Lord Hanson'sMelody and JAZZ -FM arelooking at bidding for the INRFM license.

Expect China Records not tobe continuing its licensing dealwith Polydor in the UK. The dealis due for renewal the end. ofFebruary. China has some sevenartists under contract includingLabi Siffre, Anne Dudley (ex -Art of Noise) and Loud.

Recognising Spain as the hot-test radio market (M&M January19), the UK Radio Academy issponsoring a "Getting On -Air InSpain" conference at London'sKensington Town Hall February26.

Capitalising on the resurgenceof the artists' career, CapitalRadio/London and sister AMCapital Gold will be presentingthe Righteous Brothers for twoshows at the HammersmithOdeon March 2. The event is acopromotion with BarryClayman Concerts.

Europe 2 are planning moreTV projects with La Cinq fol-lowing their joint venture docu-mentary on John Lennon scree-ned last December. More Garcia,

Europe 2's director of pro-grammes, said the companywould be putting its energies intomore TV collaboarations.

Rumor is that M&M columnistTony Grundy, in true VictorKiam style, likes his post as MDfor UK -based management/salestraining consultancy Communi-cate so much he's bought thecompany! Details in the nextissue.

And finally, congratulations toVirgin Germany for scoring itsfirst no. 1 hit single in theEurochart Hot 100 Singles withEnigma's Sadeness Part 1. In its10th chart week, the 'gregorianhouse' record moved Vanilla Ice'sIce Ice Baby from the top slot.Full story next week.

ARBITON, DATAMEDIA DEALSantallied from page 1)

are those who would claim thatItaly is different from the US, butthe differences are not really thatgreat. We will not import the USmethod lock, stock and barrel.Arbitron can capitalise on the ex-perience of Datamedia and viceversa. Things change so quicklyin Italy, they soon become old.

Radio DeeJay and RadioCapital station director ClaudioAstorri has acted as consultant toDatamedia in the past. He firstput the idea of Arbitron to Crespi.

Astorri observes, "In Italy weare involved in the kind of re-search that Arbitron was doing in1947. I told Crespi to make thejump of 43 years as soon as hecan. I currently have to work with

my eyes closed and I want themopened."

Astorri admits to differencesbetween in the Italian and USmarkets, but adds "Matters of in-telligence, statistics andmethodology have no time and noplace. They are just good or bad,helpful or unhelpful." He says anew system will be good for ever-ybody, even for research instituteAudiradio, which currently en-joys official status with its annuallisteners statistics.

"Audiradio could take more in-terest in local stations and letDatamedia and Arbitron workprofessionally with regional andnational broadcasters", saysAstorri.

Programme director at theRome -based national networkRadio Dimensione Suono,Bruno Ployer, admitted lastOctober (M&M October 27), "Athird system is missing in Italy."

He concedes the idea isprogressive, but remains cautiousabout Arbitron's possible entryinto Italy, explaining, "Any at-tempt to improve research mustbe welcomed by the industry. Wewill have to wait to see what willhappen. Arbitron for sure willfind a reality different to that inthe US."

Ployer claims there is moreenthusiasm in the US for re-search, but notes, "Although thereis a different way of thinkingabout things in Italy, I do notthink that the problem is insur-mountable."

INR RULES(continued from page 1)

which any member of the publiccould complain about the station'soutput. The station must alsokeep logging tapes for at least 42days after transmission.

FM TO HIGHEST BIDLord Chalfont stressed the licencewould go to the highest bidderprovided all the requirementswere met. There is no quality th-reshold and no requirement forthe station to run a news service.

He explains, "It would be veryrisky of us to say to someoneafter they'd fulfilled all the requi-rements and put in the highest bidthat they couldn't have the li-

cence."

EURO AD GROWTH(continued from page 1)

above average growth could beachieved in 1993 and beyond.

Among the most developedradio countries, the UK's improve-ment in 1992 is forecasted to beparticularly marked. Saatchi esti-mates ad growth will jump from3.3% this year (US$ 275 million) to7.2% (US$ 295 million) in 1992and 7.7% (US$ 318 million) in

1993. The UK's average radiogrowth from 1991-93 will be 6.1%versus 7.0% for TV and 5.5% fornewspapers.

Steve Winram, Zenith MediaWorldwide research director, com-ments that after the current reces-sion UK radio will begin to benefitstarting in 1992 from the BroadcastAct and the launch of many newstations including the three nationalcommercial outlets. Winram alsopredicts 1993 as a buoyant year forthe TV industry given the launch ofChannel 5, the awarding of newChannel 3 franchises and thegrowing importance of satellitechannels.

But radio must recognise its rolein complementing TV in order tothrive, adds Wmram, ' "WithLondon's Capital Radio and a fewothers excepted, the marketing of

radio in the UK still leaves much tobe desired, and there are lessons tobe learned from the techniques em-ployed in Spain and France. I see itas a local medium as opposed to anational force. Its ability to segmentand diversify, allowing advertisersto precisely target their audiences isa strength which must be properlyexploited."

Elsewhere in the major markets,Italy is predicted to pull nearly evenwith Spain as the fastest -growingradio territory. Italy's increase isestimated to average 10.6% during1991-93, while Spain's growthshould jump 10.4%.

Spain, however, will attract farlarger revenues with a radio spendof US$ 890 million expected in1993 compared to Italy's US$ 282million. Spain expects a substantialincrease in general advertising ex-penditure in 1992, when Barcelonahosts the Olympics and Seville theWorld Expo, though 1993 will see adecline in growth as this mediaboom falls away.

Head of programming at RNERadio 3 Carlos Garrido com-ments that the 10.4% projectedaverage radio growth from 1991-93, "may be over -optimistic be-cause of the expected economicstagnation in Spain and across theworld". A saturation of communica-

tions networks, especially privateTV stations, may also have a nega-tive effect.

In Germany, the development ofthe unified economy will have ra-mifications for all media, saysHerbert Binder, marketing direc-tor of leading statewide privateAntenne Bayern.

Binder says radio ad growth,which will average 4.6% annuallyfrom 1991 to 1993, could rise toUS$ 531 million. Key reason: theestablishment of new markets inEast Germany and a decline in therate of TV expenditure as adverti-sers seek new forms of exposure.Despite this gradual slowing in TV,however, the medium remainsGermany's fastest growing. Its shareof advertising expenditure was only10.1% in 1980, increasing to 14.0%in 1990 and 16.4% in 1993.

Jean -Paul Baudecroux, presi-dent of France's leading commercialnetwork NRJ, believes as Europeworks through its advertising reces-sion radio is the medium likely tosuffer least. Baudecroux says, "In acrisis period such as this, everybodymust economise, and this works toradio's good because many busi-nesses see it as a hot medium, atraffic medium, which has the abi-lity to sell very quickly, efficientlyand economically."

The French radio market will riseto a total of US$ 649 million in1993, with an average annualgrowth of 6.9% from 1991-93.During this period TV will continueto grow more rapidly than any othermedium, with newspaper, magazineand radio sectors all reasonably sta-ble and cinema in decline.

In proportional terms, in 1991

radio will account for 4.4% ofEurope's total advertising expendi-ture (US$ 60.914 billion) behindnewspapers (41.7%), TV (25.6%),magazines (22.2%), outdoor/trans-port (5A%), but ahead of cinema(0.7%). By 1993, radio's proportionwill remain the same (4.4%), out ofa total European spend ofUS$ 73.425 billion.
