The figures, announcedat the first major meeting ofshareholders since NRJ'sDecember flotation on theParis stock exchange, coin-cides with news that the sta-tion's share price topped Ffr355, up 10% on the initialquotation price of Ffr 320per share.

Turnover increased by18% to Ffr 270 million andthe network predicts tradingof up to Ffr 320 million bythe end of this year. NRJ'sadvertising receipts reachedFfr 236 million in 1989, up19%, with 559 clients,representing a 29% increase.

However, as NRJ presi-dent Jean -Paul Baudecrouxexplains: "FM radio hashad a higher audience sharethan the peripherals [AMregionals] since May 1989,40.7o compared with 37%,

Strike Paralyses Radio Franceby Emmanuel Legrarel

At press time, negotiations bet-ween the two sides were continu-ing but there was no sign of anybreakthrough. The unions,

Paris - Public radio broadcasterRadio France has been hit by oneof the biggest strikes in the com-pany's history. The unions,representing some 2.600 workers,are requesting monthly pay risesof Ffr 500 (app. US$ 88) to bebackdated from January 1989.

At press time, as the strikeentered its sixth day, output wasbeing severely affected. RadioFrances Bye networks, France -Inter (general programming),France Culture, France Musique(classical music), France Info (allnews format), Radio Bleue (forsenior citizens) and a wide net-work of local stations were allbroadcasting the same classicalmusic programme. News pro-grammes were cancelled, andthere were no news bulletins, as re-quired under the 1986 media law.

Some journalists, and the topexecutives, am worried the strikemay do permanent damage to thestations and give an additionalboost to the privates. France -Inter, suffering from declining

Berlusconi

Italian Senate's decision toregulate cross ownership of mediaoutlets.

The legislation, which has notyet been passed by the lowerhouse, was pushed through thesenate after Berlusconi gainedcontrol late last year of Mon-

dadori, Italy's largest publishinggroup. It now seems likely thatBerlusconi will seek an agreementwith Carlo de Benedetti, his rivalshareholder in Mondadori, whichwould give de Benedetti control ofLa Repubblica, Italy's top -sellingnewspaper.

The Senate's decision forbidsdual ownership of dailynewspapers and television stationswhich means Berlusconi wouldalso have to dispose of the Milandaily II Giomale or at least one ofhis TV stations.

The legislation may be adoptedbefore even getting to the lowerhouse because the ConstitutionalCourt has to make a ruling onmedia ownership before nextmonth. It is, therefore, expectedthat the government will issue adecree law.

Meanwhile Berlusconi says anamendment forbidding advertis-ing during films, operas andtheatrical performances wouldcost him US$ SIX) million annual-ly in lost revenue, while puttingmany small stations out ofbusiness.

Mega Moves OnTV Promotion

by John Carr

Athens - Commercial TV. stationMega Channel is transmittingmusic videos free of charge forrecord companies whose artistsmake the Greek top 10.

The move is expected to in-crease competition among thecompanies that have been squeez-ed by continuous rises in TV pro-motion rates. Though MegaChannel says its aim is to raise thepublic's exposure to top -sellingrecords, media observers believe itis an attempt to hit the popularafternoon music video shows runby Mega Channel's main rivalAntenna TV.

Both channels have cashed insuccessfully on the example set by

the free satellite transmission ofMTV in Athens, which has hadincidental benefits to the recor-ding and distribution business.

They are now planning newearly -summer formats to coincidewith the end of the school yearwhen youth purchasing powerusually peaks before the summerholiday period. 0

At present, Budweiser is unlike-ly to be sponsoring the tourdirectly in West Germany, Austriaand Norway where the beer is notavailable But in France the tourwill coincide with plans to launchBudweiser there.

The success of its US sponsor-ship encouraged Budweiser tocontinue the deal in Europe. Inaddition to promoting and adver-tising the tour in the US, the com-pany also had its own hospitalitysuite at concerts where it enter-tained clients and was visited on aregular basis by members of theRolling Stones, thus providingvaluable kudos.

"American companies whichhave seen the benefits of toursponsorship in the US can now

see its attractions on a worldscaler says a spokesperson. "Theimage of the Stones is perfect forus and so is their audience.'

For TDK this is its second ma-jor rock sponsorship in sixmonths following a deal with PaulMcCartney in Holland, Spain, theUK and Japan. The company willbe advertising the tour and usingthe Stones' name for in-store pro-motional campaigns as well asmaintaining a corporate image atthe concerts. But it will not besponsoring the tour in the UKwhere the company is mnseparately.

The fact that CBS, whichhandles the Stones' record label,is owned by a company which alsomarkets blank tape has not goneunnoticed. Nor has the fact thatfor Europe, the band have alteredthe tour name from "SteelWheels", the title of their currentalbum.

Sponsorship of rock bands isincreasing now that a growingnumber of bands are seen to beamenable towards the concept.According to the Rolling StonesEuropean agent Neil Warnock of

the Agency, "companies are nowrealising that they can reach thatelusive younger audience via rockgroups".

Warnock is currently looking ata sponsorship deal for LisaStanfield who will be touringlater this year but emphasises thatthe artist must feel comfortablewith the sponsor and the product.

John Giddings, promoter ofTears For Fears in Europe whohave been sponsored by Philips ina deal worth "in excess of £ Imillion", says them is a vital dif-ference between the terminologyof any sponsorship contract andthe spirit of the deal.

"The band have to adhere tothe spirit of the deal in order toleave the sponsor satisfied;' saysGiddings. "There have been toomany examples of bands simplytaking the money and running!'

Some major artists still preferto tour without sponsorship,however. Phil Collins for examplehas declined any sponsorshipdeals for his forthcoming worldtour and David Bowie is currentlytouring without a sponsor. 0

After adramatic turnaround, Shaft wasreinstated after proposals forrefinancing the station by RadioCity MD Terry Smith, who is alsoa Sunset director, wem tumeddown at Sunset's first annualgeneral meeting.

Smith, who is also chairman ofsales house BMS and a director ofIRN, then resigned from theSunset board along with DavidRogers representing ApolloLeisure. This left the way clear forMice Shaft to return to the stationhe founded and launched lastOctober.

Shaft is currently sayingnothing apart from being"delighted" to be back but hisreturn is being widely hailed as avictory for community radio overcommercial interests. Since itslaunch, Sunset has gained a 16%reach among its target audiencebut advertising revenue has beenslow and Shaft preCipitated theboardroom row by publiclycriticising BMS and threateningto drop the sales house which isalso handling Manchester -basedPiccadilly Radio's account.

The row came to a head whenTerry Smith refused to consideradditional funding while Shah re -mauled in charge of the station.

Shaft was defeated and fired at aboard meeting at the beginning ofMarch and Smith put together arescue package for the station thatinvolved additional funding fromshareholders, closing the localnewsroom and taking an hourlynews service from IRN.

Shaft, who claimed that the sta-tion was departing from itsoriginal remit, is now expected toappoint a new sales house andreinstate the station's newsroom.He will also be attempting to raiseanother £ 200.000 funding forSunset.

The Independent BroadcastingAuthority had contacted SunsetRadio after Shaft's departure to"remind" the station of itsoriginal promises.

SDR And SWF AttackedFor 'Unfair' Programming

ay Robert Lyng

Baden-Wurttemberg's publicbroadcasters, SDR and SWF, have

come ander attack for allegedlyairing commercial programmingon their first and third channels,in direct competition with thestate's private regional stations.

During a recent state parlia-ment hearing, Christian Frietsch,MD of the private station Radio 7Viktoria and a board member ofthe Association Of Cable &Satellite Broadcasters (BKS), saidcommercial programming at thechannels was immoral in light ofthe financial crises at the localstations.

Frietsch says the states privateshave already lost DM 115 million(app. US$ 68 million) and face an-nual costs in excess of DM 85million, with only DM 28 millionin advertising revenue.

He says: "SWF and SDR col-lect a total of DM 360 million inlicence fees and a further DM 150million in advertising revenue forradio alone. Nevertheless, their se-cond channels, which have only a

2% audience share, are the onlychannels to air the type of nar-rowcast programming required ofthem.

"The stations' ratings -orientedprogramming policy is immoral.The private stations can't com-pete with the way SWF I, SWF 3,SDR 1 and SDR 3 promote theircommercial programming. I havenever seen an advertising cam-paign for SWF 2 or SDR 27

Frietsch says the same appliesto the distribution of frequencies.SWF has almost 100FM frequen-cies while SDR is broadcasting on40 frequencies including nine at100 kW, each of which is almostcapable of covering the entirestate.

Frietsch has called on the statelicensing authority to equal thebalance between the public andprivate broadcasters. "The cur-rent system is not a dual systembut a duel, in which the publicbroadcasters are using cannonsagainst the private stations'firecrackers!'

Metropolys Marriage Sealed With a KissParis - Following the CSA's deci-sion to give the go-ahead to the fu-sion of Kiss FM and Metropolys,network president Bruno Leclusesays he plans to keep to the ex-isting Metropolys format.

Lecluse was in Paris to receivethe Thirrry Santa Communica-tion prize for his contribution toFM radio and his achievements asone of the co-founders, withPhilippe Schemberg, of the Lille -based Metropolys network.

He described the low-key KissMetropolys fusion as a marriageof love and reason: "Perhaps it isour northern spirit, but we do notlike to make a big fuss about whatwe are doing. We prefer to putthings into place, get results andthen talk!'

The new station will be basedon the existing Metropolys formattargetted at 15-35 year -olds. How-ever, in theory, a company formedwithin the new structure will sup-ply programmes to both Kiss andMetropolys stations. The capital is

now divided between principalshareholders Kiss FM (49% -which includes 9.5% held by lean -Claude Nicole); Metropolys (15%- Lecluse and Schemberg); CBS(10%) and RCL TV (10.7o).

Questioned on the new net-work's strategy Lecluse replied:"Why should we change becausewe are in Paris? We have beenoperating outside Lille for over ayear now. We are not afraid of go-ing into different towns even if thespirit is more southern than nor-thern. We are not going to changeour style The strength ofMetropolys is that it has alwayskept going in a straight line'

So, for the moment, no majorprogramming changes are plann-ed although a name change is like-ly. The 40% French/60% Anglo-American ratio is likely to bemaintained with titles selected bySchemberg rather than a listeners'panel.

"People think we play a lot ofnew beat?' says Lecluse "but it is

Marseilles Megastore Increases

Virgin's French Connectionby Emmanuel Legraa

Virgin is to open a Megastore inMarseilles by the end of May. Thestore will be the company's se-cond in France, and presidentPatrick Zelnik is aiming for a tur-nover of Ffr 200-250 million (app.US$ 34.8-43.5 million) in the firstyear of operation.

Zelnik says Marseilles waschosen because it is a dynamic ci-ty with a lot of potential. "It isFrance's second city and has amixed population. We want thisstore to become the biggest shopselling musical and entertainmentgoods throughout the Mediterra-nean countries!'

With floorspace of 1.000square metres, the Marseilles storeis located in the centre of the cityin an old two -storey building,formerly a bank. It will carry140.000 different titles covering allmusical styles and CDs will begiven special emphasis. Soundcar-rises make up 50% of the plarmedturnover and the stare will alsosell video (10%), books (20%), hi-fi and micro computers (10Vo).There will also be a 130 -seater

restaurant.Opening hours are Monday to

Saturday from 10.00 to midnight,and if official permission is given,it will also be open on Sundaysfrom 12.00 -midnight. Like theParisian store, Marseilles will haveits own music and a TV system, aswell as in-store entertainmentsuch as mini -concerts or artist appearancm.

Zelnik: "Our stores are veryspecific to the French market andare not simply an adaptation ofthe UK format. With the store inParis we have achieved bothfinancial and image success. Wewant to continue that inMarseilles. We now intend to openother outlets in the major Frenchcities and continue developing ourconcept each time.'

livo other Virgin Megastoresare expected to open in France thisyear. One in Bordeaux is due toopen in the autumn and a secondone, in an undisclosed locationbut thought to be northernFrance, is in the pipeline

not true. We do play new recordsfrom the UK, West Germany andBelgium but that is because of ourgeographical situation. Lille isvery much a crossroads. It is not a

multi -audience station. For exam-ple, we will not play hard rock orjazz. But within the format thereare different styles for differentlisteners?'

SACEM Considers CanadianQuota ImplicationsFrench industry bodies aro cur-rently assessing the likely impactof Canada's recent decision to im-pose a 65% French -languagequota on Quebec radio stations.SACEM, the French performingrights society, which has called forsimilar quotas in France has notyet taken an official position onthe ruling.

Spokesman Eric Defame saysthe Canadian situation is specialand it will be difficult to judgewhat effect the decision will have:"You can not compare it with thesituation here in France It is aquestion of six million in-habitants being surrounded by250 million English speakers. TheFrench speakers in Quebec are avirtual island!'

However, Defaure referred torecent comments from CatherineTasca, at the French ministry ofculture and communication, onCanadian TV production-Tascasays since quotas were imposed insupport of domestic TV product,the industry has grown to thepoint where it is "more importantthan the industries of FranceBelgium and Switzerland puttogether".

"Of course it would be better ifthere was no need to imposequotas;' Defaure continued. "Butif the point is reached when radiosare playing a high proportion ofAnglo-American music forwhatever reason, and the industryis suffering, then something hasto be done And if the example ofthe TV production is anything togo by, then quotas do achieveresults!'

Canada remains an importantmarket for French artistsalthough their presence, com-pared to domestic artists, is lessstrong than it was in the 70e Ac-cording to a study published lastyear, out of a total of 416 French -language titles released there in1988, Canadian artists accountedfor 59 albums (down from 77 in1987), and 194 singles, whileforeign artists released 43 albums(up from 38 in 1987), and 120singles.

Poor Technical ResourcesBlamed For Tarnished Gold

by David Stansfield

Radio Gold, the new fully auto-mated oldies station based inMilan, has failed to start broad-casting officially. The station, aproject of national network MilanInternational 101, began testtransmissions in February.

"But now:' according to MilanIntemational executive Luca Don-doni, "we are transmitting occa-sionally but for all intents andpurposes it is closed and does notfunction!'

Dondoni blames Radio Gold'sproblems on the lack of technicalresources. "We have a total of 50people to run the network and our

other Italy Voice of America Eu-rope station. We need more tech-nical expertise!'

Dondoni reports that all effortsare currently being focused on thefurther development of the MilanInternational network. He is un-sure about when, or if, RadioGold will be launched.

Meanwhile, Milan Internatio-nal will celebrate 15 years ofbroadcasting with a special partyon April 12. The event, hosted bythe station's Ws, will be held atMilan's Rolling Stone club. USact !Cool & The Gang will make alive appearance

Kiss Kiss Says TutTut To DataMediaRadio Kiss Kiss, the Naples -basedprivate network, says that statis-tics which show it to have lostlisteners are misleading.

The Milan -based research in-stitute DataMedia carried out twonational listener surveys last year.Radio Kiss Kiss was shown tohave an average 920.000 daily lis-teners for the first half of the year.This figure dropped to 899.000 byDecember 31, 1989.

Station director Lucia Nies-polo: "DataMedia did not realisethat we have the three stationsRadio Kiss Kiss Network, KissKiss Music and Kiss Kiss Italia.All they did initially was to askpeople if they listened to RadioKiss Kiss and came up with

figures that covered all three sta-tions. I spoke with DataMediadirector Luigi Crespi and rectifiedthe situation in time for the latestfiguree'

The figures at the end of 1989show the network station as hav-ing an average 899.000 dailylisteners, Kiss Kiss Music 199.000and Kiss Kiss Italia 191.000. Thiswould give the combined total of1.29 million daily listeners.

Radio Kiss Kiss Music andItalia are regional stations. Thefirst, founded in 1987, is fullyautomated and broadcasts what isdescribed as quality music on CDonly. Kiss Kiss Italia, founded in1988, is devoted to national musiconly.

VideoMusic Plans Co -ProductionsVideoMusic, the national 24 -hourTV music channel, celebrated itssixth birthday on April 2 by an-nouncing a further commitmentto European co -productions.

Programme director Giancarlollumbetti says his company's ma-jor successes last year were theca -productions with Europeanbroadcaster Super Channel of theprogrammes 'Blue Night' and'Hotline'. Beta TV, VideoMusiesparent company, took over con-trol of Super Channel in 1988.

Trombetti agrees with industryopinion about the current crisis ofTV music shows. But he claimsthat VideoMusic is the exception."The Italian market is growing upwith our programmes. There are

many people who like music onTV. We are offering more of amagazine service. It takes time toread a magazine but we can pro-vide the latest music informationwithin a matter of minutes. Speci-alism in the form of magazineshows is the future for music onTV"

Trombetti claims that reportsof MTV preparing for Italianbroadcasting poses little threat toVideoMusic. "They are beingbroadcast illegally over a goodpercentage of the country now.The only thing that they couldbeat us with is video clips thatItalian record companies do notwant to promote here'

Roma ProducesThird Studio LiveRome -based private regional sta-tion Radio Roma is preparing toproduce its third series of the'Studio Live' programmes. Thelive concert series featuring in-dependent rock groups has be-come an important annual eventfor the broadcaster.

In 1988,16 Roman groups werefeatured in the programme,broadcast on Tuesdays from21.00-23.00. Last year eight local,plus eight national, acts werefeatured. Station director Ales-sandro Malatesta plans to expandthe series this year by introducingEuropean acts.

Malatesta: "We will feature 10Italian acts plus two groups fromthe UK and one each from Bel -

gium, West Germany and Switzer-land!' He says that the program-mes will be broadcast after thesummer, following the final selec-tion from the deluge of submittedtapes.

Radio Roma first went on theMr on June 16, 1975. Today itclaims an average 260.000 dailylisteners and transmits through-out the whole Lazio region. It fol-lows a format of easy listeningfrom 0600-21.00 and rock musicthrough the night. It transmits 24hours a day. -Malatesta confirmsplans to expand into a regionalnetwork this year. The station in-tends to go national eventuallybut will retain a strong regionalflavour.

Voice LaunchesSyndication SystemMajor Danish commercial stationVoice Of Copenhagen has launch-ed a syndication service in directcollaboration with record com-panies.

Voice's head of music Bo Bergsays that when the station under-takes interviews with major starsit now re -uses the material to con-struct a 30 -minute programmeaimed at syndication. The recordcompanies direct the content ofthe syndicated show, usually aninterview interval with music.

After the Voice has broadcastits own interview on its fiveCopenhagen frequencies, then therecord companies are free to givethe syndicated version to about 50other commercial stations.

Berg: "The Voice gets all themajor interviews anyway - butwhy just confine them to Voicelisteners? As long as were first wedon't mind giving the others ahand. Radio stations here have nomoney to buy the interviews, if wesyndicate them in a conventionalway, and it's not possible as yet toget sponsors on a project likethis!'

Berg adds that the system pro-vides the record companies with"a valuable promotional tool for

little cost". From the Voice's pointof view, "we will always get whatwe want from the record com-panies".

The interviews are sent out witha full transcript and contain threeIDs at the end of the tape whichdo not identify individualsta-tions. They are also accompaniedby a questionnaire asking stationswhether they ...mire changes inthe format of the show.

So far, the specials have beensupplied in either reel to reel orcassette formats. Rene Sten, fromRadio Amager, has aheady runinterviews of artists such as Lon-nie Gordon, who were supplied tothe station on cassette His maincriticism is the length of the pro-

Mixed Reaction ToScandinavian ChartsVirgin Denmark's plan to esta-blish Scandinavian album andsingles charts (see Extra!, March31) has drowna mixed reactionfrom some of the region's majorrecord companies.

Virgin is attempting to gain IF -PI backing and funding for theproposed charts, which am aimedat raising the worldwide profile ofScandinavian music Virgin Den-mark's MD Henriette Blix saysdiscussions with the IFPI officesin Sweden, Norway, Denmarkand Finland are now taking placeand meetings with both indepen-dent and major labels are plannedfor the near future.

Blix hopes the Scandinaviancharts can be in operation byAugust: "At present, from an in-ternational viewpoint, each Scan-dinavian territory stands verymuch alone. Charts like thiswould ease confusion and resultin domestic acts being taken moreseriously internationally!'

EMI Sweden MD Rolf Nygrensays that such a combined chartwould "impress upon the worldwhat huge amounts of records weare capable of selling here".

In Norway, WEA Norway'sMD Mats Nilsson likes the princi-ple of the chart but doubtswhether it would gain widespreadsupport: "Though crossover isimproving we are talking abouttrying to unite what are fourseparnte markets!'

And Dag Haeggqvist, chair-man of the Swedish -based SonetGrammofon and Scandinavia'ssole IFP1 board member, says thechart could be too much of ahybrid to be al real worth: "If itwere made up of hits like RoxettesThe Look then fine, but in truth alot of the biggest successes inScandinavia are local languagerecords. If these were to be highly .placed in the chart then I think itwould look very strange to theoutside world:'

Theflagship Madrid station opened anew 30 kW capacity transmitteroutside the city last month, whichMerchant hopes will increase thelistener figures of 260.000 a day,(according to EGM).

Top (previously known as Top40) competes directly for the Los40 Principales audience but com-piles its playlist primarily fromaudience votes with new releaseschosen by Merchant and his Ws.The no. 1 is played eight times aday between 07.00-22.00, a trackfrom the LP of the week is alsoplayed every two hours and six
