NO BMG STAKE

One -On -OneWith MCA'sAl TellerM&M this week features an exclu-sive interview with MCA MusicEntertainment Group chairmanAl Teller.

Teller talks candidly aboutMCA's future expansion plans, itsjoint -venture operation with JVCand WMI in Japan and the recentlylaunched, wholly -owned companyin Germany.

One thing that Teller puts to restduring the interview are the ru-mours that MCA is to take a 50%interest in BMG. However, anysuggestions to the validity of thisproposition are firmly dismissed bythe chairman: "There is just no basisin the entire story, whatsoever."

For more about MCA's growth,the role of the independent andthe musical sensibilities of radioprogrammers see page 5.

Small Ad Windfall For IRFrom BBC Radio 1 Promo

by Howard Shannon

UK independent radio (IR)made £100.000 from an adverti-sing campaign aired last monthto promote a cash giveaway onBBC Radio 1. But theIndependent Radio Authorityhas claimed that the BBC isbreaking the rules on links withcommercial sponsors.

The "Cashcard" promotionwas between Radio 1 and TheDaily Star newspaper. Radioads promoted the 'Cashcard'

contest, but did not mentionRadio 1. Numbers accessing the£85.000 prize money were airedon the station daytime andweekends, which the BBC sawas "locking -in" listeners.

Comments Radio Authorityhead of regulation Paul Brown,"We feel the BBC has brokensection 12 of its Licence &Agreement charter, which clear-ly states the BBC shall notbroadcast matters in exchangefor 'valuable consideration'. Yetobviously part of its promo-

tional budget has come from thecommercial sector."

However, Brown admits theauthority does not have any po-wers to take further action. BBClawyers have told him"Cashcard" did not fall into the"valuable consideration" cate-gory.

Radio 1 spokesman JeffSimpson downplays Brown'sallegations, saying the stationwas merely "giving other peop-le's money away".

May The Forth BeWith Radio Clyde

The UK recession may be hur-ting advertising, but it hasn't yetput a damper on the value ofradio stations.

In the latest consolidation inthe industry, Radio Clyde onMarch 12 announced plans tomerge with Edinburgh -basedRadio Forth in a stock swapthat values Forth at £6.32 mil-lion. The deal calls forGlasgow -based Clyde to offerfive 25p shares for each £1share of Forth. Forth sharehol-ders will control 28.5% of thecombined entity after the swap.

The stock market took thenews in stride. Clyde shares re-mained unchanged at 250p theday of the announcement.

Power Station Kept Aliveby Julian Clover

The future of UK satellite musicchannel The Power Station lookssecure. Don Atyeo, CEO of pro-gramme suppliers Palace Music,says that although no deal has beensigned, talks were extremely ad-vanced with an "entertainmentconglomerate".

Power Station is set to close onApril 8 since BSkyB dropped it fromits five -channel package. The com-pany is also talking with Astra aboutleasing a transponder, which wouldthen make the channel available on apan-European basis. The Astra satel-lite already transmits MTV (whichreaches more than 20 million homesin Europe) and the overnight

Lifestyle Satellite Jukebox.However, a deal must be signed

soon if The Power Station is tocontinue without a break in trans-mission.

Comments Atyeo, "The businessplan we put out allows for us notbeing able to finalise a deal. Weplanned to be off the air for up totwo months to get a deal in place.

A LEVEL-HEADED BUNCH - Level 42 band members gather with RCA executives during the signing of the

Clouseau Close To New Dealby Marc Maes

Top -selling Flemish bandClouseau are currently negotia-ting a new record contractworth between US$230.000-US$500.000 in one of the big-gest signings in Belgium.

BMG Ariola and EMI Bel-gium are reportedly the two la-bels with the inside track in sig-ning the band. (Band memberKris Wouters used to be aBMG promo officer).

Comments EMI Belgium GMGuy Brulez, "Nothing has beensigned yet and today we live in aworld where an agreement isconcluded by shaking hands andsigning a contract. The onlything I could say is that we havepassed the handshake part and

that we have very serious inten-tions with the Clouseau deal."

Clouseau's record deal withHKM ended on March 19. Theband had been with the label forfour years.

Says HKM MD HansKusters, "It is always the same.It is the independent or smallerlabels that build careers for ma-jors to take over. Still, we part asfriends and I am convinced that amultinational will offer the bandmore than a company like ours.We were their best partner for theBenelux, but now they wantthings we cannot offer them."

Clouseau are currently prepa-ring the release of an English -language album to follow theirgiant Benelux successes Hoe Zoand Of Zo.

VALUE OF LOCAL A&R EMPHASISED

MCA: Navigating Global WatersIn the last 12 months, MCA has intensified its presence

in the worldwide record business. Led by MCA MusicEntertainment Group chairman Al Teller, the companyhas been active in label acquisitions and is aggressivelypositioning itself as a global player. In an exclusive in-

terview with M&M, Teller talks about the expanding rec-ord business, the role of independent labels and the

often strenuous relationship between radio and music.

by Machgiel Bakker

Since his appointment as MCAGroup chairman in 1989, Al Tellerhas been determined to increase thecompany's market share. First, jazzlabel GRP was acquired a year ago.A month later, MCA outbid ThornEMI in the purchase of GeffenRecords for an estimated US$ 545million. But boosting US marketshare has clearly not been enough.

Until now, MCA is the onlymajor player in the US not to have astrong overseas operation. To cor-rect this, MCA formed a new jointventure with JVC and WMI inJapan. In addition, the company an-nounced plans to start its fullyowned company in Germany by theend of this summer. Meanwhile, aninternational distribution and licens-ing deal was struck with BMG lastOctober.

Says Teller, "Apart from MCA,all other big US companies have aworldwide structure. This was amajor strategic disadvantage; thefact that we were strictly operatingin the English language meant thatwe were missing an enormous partof what the record business is

around the world-local A&R."This culminated in our joint -

venture company in Japan, whileour licensing arrangement withBertelsmann gave us the opportu-nity to start our own company inGermany. And this is the beginningof a very methodical establishmentof a wholly -owned presence over aperiod of time. I expect to seeMCA/Geffen in many more territo-ries to come."

MCA has a keen eye on theEuropean talent scene. In some ter-ritories, notably France, Italy andGermany, domestic product oftensells at the expense of its Anglo-American counterparts. But lately,the phenomenon of cross -border ex-ploitation has been on the rise.Teller warns about easy optimism."Local A&R has to be dealt withcarefully. Our first priority is to in-crease the penetration of our Anglo-American product on a worldwidescale. But in the long run, we will,without question, establish a do-mestic A&R presence territory -by -territory.

"If you look at the developmentof the US record business, their in-ternational infrastructure was basedon establishing outposts for thesales of American product. It's onlybeen in the last decade that localA&R has seen such a rapid rise inmarket share."

The recent wave of acquisitions

in the music business and the en-suing concentration of power infewer hands is, for some, a sign ofthe maturing of the business. Othersfear that the spirit and vision of theindependent label will be lost.

Teller believes the trendsettingnature of the independent label willcontinue, but that record companiesneed additional product sources tofeed their worldwide mechanisms."Majors need to consolidate and ex-pand, and the acquisition of addi-tional A&R sources has becomeimperative.

"The financial communitiesnever really valued record compa-nies in the proper sense; it wasn't aspredictable as other sorts of busi-nesses. I suppose the watershed mo-ment came when Sony purchasedCBS Records in 1988. That was aclear, unequivocal indication of thevalue of a record company, and pe-ople started to measure themselvesagainst that. And then this wholeprocess was accelerated with the ac -

in the future, there is really nobodyelse of any meaningful size."

Teller is known for his criticalstance towards radio broadcasters.In his keynote address at last year'sIM&MC he warned European bro-adcasters not to follow the US

model. "But I have a strong suspi-cion that it is going to end up verysimilar to the way it is in the States.I do hope that in Europe the peoplemaking radio programming deci-sions will be more musically orien-tated. So many radio programmersare looking for someone else to de-termine what the hits are. Theydon't programme on the basis oftheir own musical sensibilities, eit-her because they don't have any orthey are not interested in that."

"I've given up. I don't harbour any illu-sions about the radio and the recordbusinesses being brothers in arms."

are still hundreds of independents,not one of them quite the size of eit-her Geffen or Island. But perhapsin 10 or 20 years M&M will be re-porting the sale of some of those tomajors."

But is the company looking forother labels to buy? "Not in anyconscious way. We acquired Geffenfor a very special reason. It was thecrown jewel in the record businessand would contribute importantly toour market share. Also, it dovetailedperfectly with the kind of growthplans we had in mind internation-ally. But in terms of label ventures

But don't radio consultants tell usthat there is nothing more harmfulthan programmers serving theirown interests instead of those oftheir audience? "I happen to believethat if you're skilful, your own tasteshould play a big part of the game.But I've given up. I don't harbourany illusions about the radio and therecord businesses being brothers inaims. No, they are two very sepa-rate businesses; the only link is therecords. But the health of the rela-tionship would certainly be impro-ved if there were more people onthe radio side who had an intuitive

sense of music."And Teller is certainly not im-

pressed by radio's old counter -argu-ment that it is not its task to breaknew talent. "Of course, that's theconventional wisdom. They can allattend a radio industry cocktailparty and convince each otherthey're doing everything perfectlyfine. And part of that is, I suppose, ahistorical fault of the music busi-ness. We don't get paid, certainlynot in the States, by radio stationsfor the privilege for playing ourmusic. And when you get some-thing for free, you tend to devaluateit. Let me make a statement whichI'll not be able to prove: if radio hadto pay serious money for the acqui-sition of music programming, themusical skills of the radio program-mers would be much stronger thanthey are today."

But what about radio's claim thatairplay is a form of free promotionfor the record industry? "We wouldbe able to sell records without radiostations if we had to. But radiowould not be able to play musicwithout records. I claim the higherground in that argument. If I had toget on the back of a truck with aloudspeaker, rolling down the streetand playing my records, I would doit!"

Regarding his own musical pre-ferences, Teller says, "I hardly haveenough time to listen to our own re-cords. I find it harder and harderthese days to step away from theprofessional role. When I go into arecord store, the first thing I'mlooking for is where my own re-cords are and how well they arebeing displayed. That's one of theprices you pay for being in the busi-ness. But I am still a big fan of thesinger/songwriters and of the youngbands that go left of centre-any-thing that cuts against the grain."

AIRC In New PPL Stalemateby Julian Clover

Two meetings between the

Association Of IndependentRadio Contractors (AIRC) andthe Phonographic PerformanceLimited (PPL) have failed toreach an agreement so far on co-pyright payments. The two sideshad agreed to aim for a negotiatedsettlement rather than go back to

the Copyright Tribunal. AIRCdirector Brian West says, "PPLare looking for outrageously highrates so we have asked them tothink again." If no agreement isreached, stations will be able toinvoke the statutory licence proce-dure of the new Copyright Act.This allows them to make an offerto PPL, while a decision is madeby the Tribunal.

A sticking point remains the in-clusion of sponsorship revenue inthe calculations. West says,"Undoubtedly, they will argue forsponsorship to be included. Butwe are saying no, unless the ratesgo down."

The current agreement termina-tes at the end of this month. AIRCis now waiting for a new offerfrom PPL.

City Talk Goes For GoldRadio City/Liverpool has exten-ded its City Talk AM serviceacross the weekend with the in-troduction of "City Talk Gold",07.00-19.00, Saturday andSunday. Says programme con-troller Tony Ingham, "We

thought it was important to ex-pand, although ideally we wouldhave wanted current affairs."Since its launch in October 1989,City Talk has steadily increasedits hours, opting back to the

EHR-formatted City FM eve-nings and weekends.

"In effect, we were telling ourlisteners to switch off on Fridays,so the extension is important,"says Ingham. "We wanted to keepthe audience and increase thehours. We could hardly expectthem to listen to [syndicated USpersonality] Rick Dees."

However, he adds that the ser-vice is not an experiment to ex-tend the gold format during the

entire week. "We know goldworks and there is a market for it.The last JICRAR figures showthat. This is not testing our toes.We could put gold on tomorrow,but we are a talk station."

City Talk has opted for an easy -listening gold direction, centringon the '50s and '60s. Saturday after-noons will continue to cover sportwith the FM service. Although it isearly days, Ingham says reactionhas so far been positive. JC

Bleak INR FutureSay Delegates

by Paul Easton

The government and RadioAuthority's insistence that theIndependent National Radio(INR) FM station must be predo-minantly non -pop will end upwith them "giving birth to adodo". That was the general con-clusion of delegates to the RadioAcademy's Music Radio Con-ference held in London on March7-8.

In an open forum moderatedby conference chairman andUnique Broadcasting PD TimBlackmore, the majority of dele-gates supported an AOR/AC for-m'at for the franchise. Some evenwondered whether the Authoritymight find itself awarding a na-tional licence, but not having anybidders.

The biggest problem, dele-gates said, was the tight defini-tion of pop music in theBroadcasting Act and the addi-tional rulings issued by the

Authority. Although somegroups are hoping to bend therules toward rock, Authorityhead of regulation, Paul Brownhad little encouragement forthem. "One INR applicant hasconfronted us with a list of rec-ords. The station will not be asoft rock station and those whothink it is going to be will haveto think again. A lot of ILR FMstations are already pop and theAuthority wanted an alternative."

Brown also dashed the hopesof people who believe the station

will eventually be forced toswitch to a pop/rock format. "Ifthe station starts as classical andgoes rock after two years, that isnot on the cards."

The economics of running thestation were also hotly debated.Although the successful appli-cant will have to pay an annuallicence fee of about £1 million tothe Authority, as well as a per-centage of its advertising re-venue to the government, thefranchise will go to the highestbidder.

Classic FM's David Makersaid the amount of the bid wouldbe irrelevant. "In the end I thinkwe are going to see a purely no-minal bid of just £0.01."

In a discussion on the impactof advertising on the INR andother stations, the future is

Privates Counter ShoddyPractices With Strict Rules

by Mal Sondock

Germany's private radio stationsand sales houses say systems arein place to prevent problems ofmissing or misplaced ads.

Multinational marketers Mc-Donalds first brought the pro-blem to light when it revealedthat a study of stations showedthat up to 15% of spotswereeither not being broadcast, orwere aired at the wrong time(M&M March 9).

Lutz Kuckuck, MD at RMS,one of the country's leading adsales houses, says stations theagency represents have safegu-ards against such an occurrence.Kuckuck explains that the sta-tions have logs signed by the an-nouncer on duty, and a falselysigned report results in imme-diate dismissal of the person re-

sponsible. Comments Kuckuck,"We would be more than willingto sign contracts calling for stiffpenalties in cases of this sort."

Kuckuck says that someRMS-affiliated stations havemultiple frequencies and trans-mitters, which can cause confu-sion. Antenne Bayern has 17different signals and ffn has 14.

Adds Kuckuck, "If a signaldrops out, we report this to ourclients and discount the spot ac-cordingly. If a spot is not broad-cast, we credit the customer andinform him right away."

Antenne Bayern has compu-terised log bookings that aresigned by the announcers onduty. The two-hour blocks of ad-vertising are closely controlledby programme director MikeHaas. ffn's Gunther Drossertand RSH's Peter Volpel confirmits stations have similar controls.

N1/Nuremberg programme di-rector Cetin Yaman highlightsthe impact the McDonalds studyhas on small stations. "We alre-ady have image problems and itis almost impossible for us toget national advertising. A re-port of this nature could hurt ourchance of survival even more.

"I know some of the smallerstations do not have top profes-sional personnel due to low bud-gets. I cannot imagine how astation can continue to existwithout the proper controls toeliminate the possibility of a si-tuation like this."

IPA MD Ulrich Bellienosums up, "I only heard of acouple of small stations inmedia -overcrowded Munich ha-ving this problem in the, earlystages. I cannot imagine any ofthe big stations having the sameproblem."

Letter To The EditorIn Defence Of Private Radio

What a headline: "GermanPractices Shock Marketers!" Justlet me ask a simple question: Isone station like any other? IsGermany's private radio all thesame?

I don't think so, and I am re-ally hurt by this kind of generalaccusation!

So let's focus on the differenceof radio stations in Gemiany. Infact. maybe there are someclumsy people in the business.But please don't create an imageof unreliability on all broadcas-ters. I'm sure there are a coupleof stations -including RadiOSalii/Saarbrucken- which arequalified to be proud of having asecure and still highly active ad-vertising system. We are able tosatisfy every kind of advertisinginstruction in less than 24 hours

and we give assurance of airingevery commercial at the time theclient demanded it if we do con-firm his order.

So, if the errors you've men-tioned in the M&M articleMarch 9 did really happen, thereis only one way to clean up theannoying situation: the names ofthe station which are concerned.

Finally, 1 don't like to see mystation's image suffering under amysterious, unknown somethingWhat is called by mistake"Germany's private radio". I'msorry some people are not able tomake a difference between a ge-neral accusation and specificcomments on individual pro-blems.Adam HahneProgramme director.Radio Saki.

Impressive Ad GainsFor New PrivatesAd revenue at the major privateGerman radio stations grew 30% toDM280.3 million (app. US$183.7million) last year thanks mostly tolistener increases and the launch ofnew stations.

Leading the pack in terms oftotal ad sales was ffn, which earnedDM60.3 million, up 4% from lastyear. Following closely wasAntenne Bayern, which racked upa healthy 102% sales increase toDM54.0 million. Two relativelynew privates also completed theirfirst full year in business: FFH andRadio 100,6.

While the increase might lookgood on paper, the industry is stillfacing problems, with radio adverti-sing widely expected to barely out-pace inflation. The forecast for1991 shows about 6% growth intotal ad volume and 10% growth inthe new Eastern Germany states.Radio advertising should come in5% higher next year, while TV isexpecting a 20% increase.Comments MD at sales house

RMS Lutz Kuckuck, "One of themain reasons for the increase in pri-vate radio income is the trend to-wards a younger, better -educatedand more affluent adult -listeningaudience than the public stations."

RMS sells about 75% of the adsnationally, and 25% regionally. Ittargets two thirds of each station'ssales.

The major private stations arefighting to increase sales with theirown marketing and sales forces.Details Antenne Bayem pro-gramme director Mike Haas, "Weknow the national trend is stagnantin radio, so if we do not sell region-ally, we will not get the volume wewant and need. We really makesure that the buyer gets his money'sworth.

"I expect the overall ad pie to ex-pand, but it will not be a natural ex-pansion. It will have to be sold.Right now about two thirds of totalsales are national but we hope toincrease the percentage of localsales by a great deal." MS

EMI Prays With A Hammerby Emmanuel Legrand

EMI France is launching a majormarketing campaign to promoteMC Hammer's Please HammerDon't Hurt Me prior to the artist'sParis concert on April 19.

International manager HerveDefranoux has set up a three -stepcampaign that started slowly inmid -February with the release ofthe single Pray with enough pro-motion to ensure airplay.

The second step in March con-sists of a national display contestat key retailers in the main Frenchcities. Each retailer will combineits promotional operations with alocal FM station.

Comments Defranoux, "We

chose radio stations that alreadyhave tight connections with retail-ers, such as Radio Service andthe Virgin Megastore inMarseilles. The link with retail

radio brings a synergy on a locallevel that gives us greater effi-ciency." The third wave will start inApril with a major Ffr3 million(app. US$576.000) advertisingcampaign with 30 TV spots onchannel TF1 in connection withNRJ.

"We chose radiostations that al-ready have tightconnections withretailers."

- Herve Defranoux

NRJ is sponsoring Hammer'sconcert and will run a Ffrl millioncampaign starting on April 22.Five thousand posters are to bedisplayed throughout France.

European tour sponsor Pepsi willbe organising a series of PRevents.

So far, MC Hammer's albumhas sold 65.000 copies in France,while the first single U Can'tTouch This sold 130.000 units,reaching the top 15. Defranouxsays, "The success of the firstsingle showed that we have alre-ady gone beyond the rap au-dience and MC Hammer is on theverge of crossing over. In the be-ginning, the album sold by wordof mouth but we are now re-aching a new audience.

"Pray sold 25.000 copies be-fore receiving heavy rotation.Radio stations are much more re-ceptive and the show will gene-rate a lot of interest. Our targetnow is to reach double gold(200.000) or even platinumwhich would be a first for a raprecord."

Privates Join VTM Charityby Marc Maes

VTM is teaming with 55 privateradio stations and network RadioContact for the charity projects"Levenslijn" and "Televie". Thisis the second year for the event.

The Flemish single Van Nu AfAan (PolyGram) and the French -language On A ToujoursQuelqu'un (Carrere), both recor-ded to benefit a number of chari-ties, are currently top of the inter-national IFPI charts. Many artistswill be attending galas on March16 to help raise funds.

At Radio Contact Danny deBruyn will be co-ordinating a

live campaign broadcast onMarch 15-16. Comments deBruyn, "We will broadcast livefrom the four Flemish regionalVTM centres on Friday 15 (from19.00-24.00) and on Saturday(from 09.00-24.00). All co-ordi-nation will take place at VTM'scentral studio facilities atVideohouse, Vilvoorde. We willbroadcast interviews with artistsand personalities to our 22 affil-iates throughout Flanders. Ourstations will provide up-to-datenews on the figures of the fund-raising campaign."

The operation, which includessix ads, two "Levenslijn" daily

Compilation Hits GoldThe latest compilation albumfrom Magnum, a collaborationbetween Sony Music, WarnerMusic and PolyGram, has gonegold only one week after its rele-ase on March 1.

The record, called The HitsAlbum 91 - Vol 1, is released andpromoted through Warner MusicBelgium, where marketing andproduct manager Francois deKock has created a promotionstrategy to support the project.

Comments De Kock, "Firstly,there is the almost traditional ad -campaign in conjunction with theFlemish commercial TV stationVTM running from March 1 upuntil April 5."

De Kock is also going aheadwith an extensive radio campaignon the French community's state

broadcaster. National broadcastersRadio 21 and La Une will be car-rying ads for the record (availableon CD and cassette) in March.Although the French -languagestate stations are not allowed tobroadcast commercial advertising,the product is considered mediumpromotion, which allows commer-cial publicity.

Explains De Kock, "We de-cided to work with the statebroadcasters for this campaign forvarious reasons. We are planninga Chris Isaak campaign onRadio 21/Brussels and theFlemish Studio Brussel." Headds that a radio campaign on thestate stations has good feedbackand that "the RTBF campaigncost only one fifth of the TVcampaign".

bulletins and telephone link -upsto other Contact outlets, will costabout Bfr3 million (app.US$95.500). Last year, VTM rai-sed approximately Bfr450.000.

Radio Antigoon/Antwerp isauctioning personal donationsfrom stars like Leyers, Michiels& Soulsister and autographedCDs by Celine Dion.

Nostalgic CampaignFor Radio Nostalgie

by Jacqueline Eacott

Radio Nostalgie launched a newadvertising campaign on March10 to focus on the station's musi-cal coverage of the last 40 years.

The campaign-which will in-clude print, billboards and posterson buses in all major cities-wascreated by ad agencyResonnances for a Ffr26 million(app. SUSS million) budget. Thefour-colour visuals used in thecampaign each feature a coupledancing to a particular style ofmusic: twist, bamba, rock anddisco.

Explains Nostalgie's communi-cation director Robert Pinto,"Our last campaign was directedcompletely at the listeners. It wasan identification campaign. Thistime we are presenting the pro-duct itself, which is why we emp-hasise the range of musical stylesplayed on Nostalgie. We don'tjust play French 'varietes'."

Pinto also says the ads coverboth French and Anglo-Saxonproduct (Nostalgie plays about80% domestic product). "Thesemusical styles are all interna-tional. We have our own interpre-ters of rock & roll such asJohnny Hallyday, EddyMitchell and Dick Rivers. Ourlisteners can appreciate that."

Nostalgie's wide variety of list-eners was visible in the most re-cent Mediametrie figures. Thestation takes the bulk of its au-dience from 25-49 year olds (6%compared with Europe 2's 9.8%and NRJ's 8.3%). It also picks upan almost equally important blockwith the over -50s. That groupcomprises 4.6% of its audience,as opposed to Europe 2's 0.8%and NRJ's 1.5%. Nostalgie scoreslowest with the 15-24 year olds:1.2% in contrast to Europe 2's 7%and NRJ's 15.3% (figures basedon average quarter-hour listeningvolume).

Gold Gets EasierStarting on March 1, trade bodySNEP has reduced the sales levelsa single needs to achieve in orderto go gold. This is a reaction to therecent decline of the format.

Gold singles will be awardedfor sales of 250.000 compared to aprevious 400.000, while platinumdrops for 500.000 from 800.000.To qualify for silver a single must

now sell 125.000 copies comparedto a previous figure of 200.000.

Album sales will remain thesame, with gold status reachedafter the sale of 100.000 (plati-num, 300.000).

Singles currently represent6.5% of the industry's total na-tional turnover with 27 millionunits sold. EL

SNEP Supports Sunday OpeningTrade body SNEP has for thefirst time taken a side in the de-bate surrounding the opening ofrecord stores on Sundays. SNEPsays, "Everything points towardsthe legislation allowing recordstores to open on Sundays. Its im-pact will surely benefit all partiesunder the condition that the ruleswould be clearly set up."

SNEP also adds. "Allowing

record stores to open on Sundaysgives everyone access to cultureand contributes to better stan-dards of living."

French laws demand that storesclose on Sundays. But the VirginMegastore had been opening itsdoors on Sundays since its launchin November 1988. Since then,unions have forced the store'sSunday closure. EL

GOLD RADIO - Sko & Torp present Radio Uptown with its gold disc.From l -r: Singer Soren Sko, Radio Uptown head of music Niels Pedersenand guitarist Palle Torp.

Local Radio GetsGold From SonetSonet Records Denmark hasawarded seven of the country'smajor local radio stations withgold records for promotingSko & Torp. It is the firsttime the country's stationshave been recognised in such away.

Sonet Denmark MD CaiLeitner says the awards ack-nowledge the increasingly im-portant role now played byprivate radio in record promo-tion in the Scandinavian re-gion. The awards were givento Radio Uptown/Copen-hagen, The Voice/Copen-hagen, Radio Amager/Cop-enhagen, Aalborg Naerradio,Aarhus Naerradio, RadioViborg and Radio ABC/Randers in late February.

Sko & Torp have to datesold 66.000 albums, breaking

the 40.000 gold threshold. Theact also recently won twoDanish Grammy awards(M&M March 16). CommentsLeitner, "We had a good pro-duct but were discouraged bythe pre -sales, so we stoppedthe record release and didsome solid pre -promotion.

"A key aspect of this Wasdistributing a three -track CDto radio only because wethought it was very radio -friendly music.

"Thankfully, radio sharedour enthusiasm. Instead of re-leasing the record and thentrying to get people to beaware of the act via TV, wewere in the happy position ofpeople already knowing theproduct when they appearedon TV2's 'Eleva2ren'. That iswhen sales exploded." DR

Ministry Clamps Down OnIllegal Radio Networks

by David Rowley

The Danish CommunicationsDepartment is beginning tocrack down on what it sees asprivate radio networks, which arecurrently illegal under Danishlaw.

First to be hit was The VoiceOf Scandinavia's national cableradio service, which the Danishtelephone companies took offcable systems in January.

Since then the government'sLocal Radio & TV Committeehas ruled that The Voice has beennetworking between its two sta-tions in Horsholm and Birkerod.The regional committee coveringthese areas has asked the Voice tostop broadcasting the same signaland the station has complied.

In addition, Radio Uptown/Downtown, which has two sepa-rate frequencies in north and cen-tral Copenhagen, has been told itis not allowed to broadcast thesame signal on both.

Radio Uptown head of musicNiels Pedersen says that alt-hough the committee has told thestation its action is illegal, it iscontinuing to broadcast as be-fore. "We expect some sort of ac-tion soon, but we do not reallyknow what. I do not really thinkthe issue is that important tomany people in the government,"says Pedersen.

The Voice proprietor OttoReedtz-Thott says his group ofstations has been trying to pushthe question of networking by

broadcasting the same signal ondifferent frequencies.

In August last year The VoiceOf Scandinavia, which is a sepa-rate company registered inJersey, Channel Isles, got permis-sion to broadcast a national sig-nal on cable. This made it thefirst Danish -based operator tobroadcast nationally, except forpublic broadcaster DanmarksRadio and the commercial butgovernment -controlled TV2.

Reedtz-Thott says the removalof The Voice Of Scandinaviafrom cable nets is an attempt bythe government to safeguard TV2against possible competitionfrom Danish and foreign compe-titors. Comments Reedtz-Thott,"We have appealed to thegovernment against the decision,but I do not know how that willwork out. We had been promisedsome response soon but we havenot heard anything yet. I want totry to negotiate some solution.Our belief is that by banning thestation they are breaking ECrules on cross -border competi-

tion."On the subject of the local fre-

quency networking bans, Reedtz-Thott is more philosophical. "Wecan afford to transmit a differentsignal for each of our sixCopenhagen frequencies becausewe have a large income in thecity.

"We are reaching between250.000-300.000 listeners inCopenhagen and about 80.000 inthe rest of the country throughour stations in Odense andNaestved. But this is obviouslyvery expensive and it would be alot cheaper to feed the same sig-nal on all our frequencies."

The Voice recently acquiredtwo more radio stations in thegreater Copenhagen area: RadioSollerod to the far north andRadio Capital in the northernsuburb of Lyngby.

"I do not think the governmenttakes us that seriously at the mo-ment but they are also havingproblems with [Social Democrat]opposition over the issue," addsReedtz-Thott.

Media OwnershipRules Relaxed

by Anna Marie de la Fuente

Spain's radio and TV stationscan now be foreign -owned, but there's a catch: Eachforeign investor cannot controlmore than 25%.

The restrictions on foreign in-vestments in Spanish radio andTV were finally lifted in Januaryin order to come into line withother EC countries.

Private broadcasters' associa-tion AERP secretary generalRuiz de Assin saes. "Not onefiim, either Spanish or foreign.can hold more than a 25q stake.The difference now is that fourFrench firms could own a totalof 100% of a broadcasting com-pany in Spain as long as indivi-

dual shares do not exceed 25'.r ."Existing limitations on the

number of ownerships still stand."Each firm can participate in oneradio/TV company," he says.

These changes now allowmedia magnates such as SilvioBerlusconi, Robert Maxwelland Robert Hersant to furtherexpand their interests in Spain.Italian Berlusconi already has a25% stake in leading private TVstation Telecinco. French com-pany Hersant has a minority in-terest in Grupo 16. the Spanishmedia group which includes FMstation Radio 16/Madrid.

De Assin revealed that foreigncompanies were approachinghim even before the ew chan-ges in the law.

Says programme directorHans Strandberg, "We are nowin a better position to build ourgeneral audience and want to beready to go commercial as soonas we can." He adds that the sta-tion may also be prepared tobroadcast commercials illegallyif the law is not changed soon toallow them.

Max Music director RicardoGomez explains, "We specia-lise in studio records usingrhythm boxes and so on. Thesound is excellent for discot-heques where it is going downa bomb. Its success is partlybecause of its topicality andpartly because it soundsgreat."

Mallasz had remained cautiousabout Seal's hit potential earlier inthe year when he discussed the inf-luence of US and UK charts onstations in the local broadcast sec-tor. He comments, "It is a verystrong single with a great potentialto chart. But Groove Is In TheHeart by Deee-Lite was a hugeradio hit that just did not chart[M&M February 2]."

With Crazy at no. 8 in the offi-cial singles charts at press time,Mallasz says, "The success of Seal

proves that a good song can makeit, even if the artist is not famous.The record was no. 1 on stationsRadio Kiss Kiss, Rete 105 andRadio Dimension Suono. It alsoreceived heavy rotation on 101Network, RTL 102.5 Hit Radioand Radio Deejay."

Mallasz maintains that TV ex-posure also contributed to the suc-cess of the single. Seal appeared onthe "San Remo International" pro-gramme and played on the TVshows "Rock Cafe", "Be Bop ALula" and the "Super ClassificaShow". The artist also undertook afour -day promotional visit to giveinterviews to radio and TV sta-tions. DS

Contempo ConfirmsInternational PoliciesIndependent label ContempoInternational has hit back at com-ments made by ex -GM FrancescoAlaimo. Alaimo, who left the firmto become a partner in the recordcompany High Tide, claimed thatContempo was becoming morenational in its sales approach (seeM&M February 9).

But Contempo's newly appoin-ted promotions managerGianpietro Giachery counters.

"Alaimo's claims are unfair anduntrue. It was he who stopped thecompany from expanding on theinternational market. Our work isprojected towards Europe and therest of the world. We have justsigned new distribution deals forour acts in Germany, Austria,Switzerland, the Benelux, Sweden,Greece and the UK. We also li-cense our acts in Korea, Japan,Argentina and Uraguay." DS



Q&A

Virgin Records: Focusing On Key ActsFabrice Nataf was promoted to president of Virgin

Records at the end of 1990 after having been thecompany's A&R manager since 1984. At 34 he is one

of the youngest MDs in France to head a recordcompany. Nataf spoke to Emmanuel Legrand about

the challenges that face him.

Q: How did you become presi-dent of Virgin Records?A: Frankly it took me by surp-rise. If someone had told metwo years ago that some day Iwould be president of VirginRecords, I would have calledhim a fool. I think the fact thatPolyGram made me an offer tobecome MD at Polydor accele-rated the process. PatrickZelnik (head of the VirginGroup) first made me the offer ayear ago, but I did not accept. Ifelt I was not ready. Proposalsfrom other companies were nu-merous and it made me think alot. The Polydor offer was ten-tative because they have a verygood catalogue-and thenPatrick reviewed his offer. It isas simple as that. I never hadany career plans. I never plan-ned to be roadie then road ma-nager, then artist manager, thenin A&R, then MD of a recordcompany at 34-but this is whathappened. There are a lot ofnew things I am learning and alot of sides of the business that Iwas not exposed to when I wasonly dealing with A&R. But itis an exciting challenge.

Q: You are mainly an A&Rperson. Will that influence theway you run the company?A: Obviously, it will. Virgin hasalways been an A&R-drivencompany, although a lot of ourcompetitors praise our marke-ting style. I think record compa-nies should be managed byA&R people. Each time this hashappened it has been successfulin the UK, the US or in France.A lot of our work is to discusswith artists their creation.Marketing should always comeafterwards. If you are able tocope with artistic matters therest will fall into place withoutproblems.

Q: Will you still handle A&Ron a day-to-day basis?A: I remain head of nationalproduction so our artistic policywill not change. We will bemore aggressive, and as selec-tive as we used to be. To mostof the artists signed to Virgin, Iam the first person they are incontact with and I want tomaintain a close relationshipwith them. It is the case for theartists I have signed, such asMano Negra, Liane Foly orLes Innocents, or those whowere signed before I arrived

like Les Rita Mitsouko orJulien Clerc.

Q: Will you change things andpeople in the company?A: Everything will remain moreor less as it is. I will juststrengthen the marketing de-partment. I am also creating anew department to handle theinternational promotion and ex-port of our national catalogueheaded by Mireille Roulet.This department will work onfive or six key priorities andwill have its own budget forpromotion, tour, support, mer-chandising etc. Apart from that,a TV producer will be hired tohandle video production.Otherwise, all the key people

with Virgin products, the mediaknow what category of productsthey will not be listening to.

Q: Why do you have such aselective signing policy?A: We already have 20 local art-ists and it takes a lot of time,money and energy to really workseriously with them. Besides, wehave a large international catalo-gue that represents 45% of ourrevenues and to which we arealso totally committed. We havealways been an album -orientatedcompany and there is no reasonto change that. This means thatwe carefully chose the artists webelieve are able to record analbum. I rarely listen to othercompany's artists and regret nothaving signed them. Lees put itthe other way: it is not Virginthat is signing too few acts butthe other companies that sign toomany of them. Look how manyrecords remain unnoticed. Inrecord companies everybody isscared of being fired, scared of

remain in the company withoutchanges.

Q: Where does Virgin's goodimage come from?A: It comes from our artists. Itis the Rita Mitsoukos, the

taking risks, scared of every-thing. So one way to avoid ta-king risks is signing many acts,hoping that a couple of themwill eventually become success-ful. This is not my way of wor-king.

to discover two newak three internationalto develop careers ofDaho and Simple

Renauds, the Mano Negras thathave made Virgin what it isnow. We have very rarely rele-ased a bad album. It gives us alot of credibility. When ourpromo team goes to the media

Q: Is the international marketimportant to you?A: Virgin has become one of theprecursors in France with LesRita Mitsouko in the mid -'80sand now with a band like Mano

Negra that have sold 220.000copies of their latest album out-side France. Their new LP isone of the four international pri-orities for Virgin in the worldalong with Simple Minds,Paula Abdul and LennyKravitz. With Mano Negra, wehave been working hand -in -hand with the band's manage-ment. We are not yet earningmoney with them because thereis a lot of financial supportneeded, but a target of two mil-lion sales in the world nowseems possible with this band.

as the increase in turnover.Besides, breaking new acts isalso a way to increase our mar-ket share. I am more interestedM having artists that will stillsell 10 years from now, likeTelephone, than getting mas-sive radio airplay that has alimited value in the long term.

Q: Speaking of airplay, whatdo you think of the currentmedia situation in France?A: I am a little bit worried bythe panel system. I think themedia often forget that they

"Their [Mano Negra's] new LP is one ofthe four international priorities for Virginin the world along with Simple Minds,Paula Abdul and Lenny Kravitz. "

That is why I want to build astronger international depart-ment. I want it to be an addi-tional service we can offer tothe artists. The mentality ofFrench artists has changed; theyfeel a little bit restrained inFrance. In terms of record pro-duction, live shows, musicalcreation or clips I think that weare now as competitive as theUK or the US. The mentalityoutside France towards Frenchacts also seems to be changing.Virgin affiliates are much morereceptive to our products. Thestereotypes are vanishing butthere is still a lot of work to do.

Q: What are your main goalsfor the future?A: Every year I want to discovertwo new French acts and breakthree international acts whilecontinuing to develop careers ofartists like Etienne Daho andSimple Minds. Then I will feelwe have reached our goal.

Q: That does not seem like avery ambitious target?A: That is what you think! It isnot as easy as its looks. I preferto think in artistic terms ratherthan focus on market shares. Ofcourse, if we can double ourshare and jump from 8% to 15%I will be pleased, but it will notbe at any cost or by signing anyproduct available. Some recordcompanies in the '70s used to dorecords just for Monique LeMarcis [RTL music program-mer] or for Albert Emsallem[former Europe 1 head ofmusic programmes] to be sureto get airplay. Now records aremade for Max Guazzini [NRJGM] or Laurent Bouneau[Skyrock programme director].I am not interested in that. I be-lieve our image is as important

have a responsibility in educa-ting the audience. I am also ap-palled by the fact that in somecases airplay is linked to marke-ting campaigns with radio sta-tions. Put another way, if you donot buy ads on the station thereis no airplay. In economicalterms you have to bear in mindthat an album costs aroundFfr600.000 [app. U$115.600] toproduce and when you addabout half a million francs for avideo and limited marketingyou already reach a millionfrancs. If on top of that youhave to invest Ffr 500.000 tobuy ads on a station with thehope of getting airplay it is notonly silly, it is immoral-a realscandal. It leaves the door opento all the previous excesses suchas co -publishing or bank notesin record sleeves. I will neverblame a station for not playingVirgin records, but this systemis scandalous. Integrity is thebest quality of a broadcaster.

Now 34. Fabrice Nataf is oneof the most respected A&R ma-nagers in France. He started hiscomer in the early '80s, aftertwo scars of medical studies. Hewent into independent musicproduction, set up a label andmoved to New York to producethe band The Comateens.

After returning to France in1983. he started working forBill Baxter, first as roadie, thenas tour manager He metEtienne Daho, and became hismanager. Natal signed both actsto Virgin France. In 1984,Patrick Zelnik asked him tojoin the company as head ofA&R. He has since signedMano Negra, Liane Foly andEric Serra.

PSYAngelina - BMG AriolaThree inspired young French men exertthemselves to the utmost, for what must be

the most beautiful girl in the world. In themeantime, the song encourages you todance your legs off.

River City PeopleWhen I Was Young - EMINew version of the song featured on thealbum Say Something Good. These peoplemay live next to the river Mersey, but theirbeat is American -style, just like their col-leagues near the river Thames, TheKatydids. The big twangin' baritone guitarmakes it even more exciting.

Del ShannonWalk Away - SilvertoneIf you are heavily in search of success,just call Jeff Lynn and he'll fix it. If you'rereally lucky he'll take a fellow TravellingWilbury to the studio, in this case it wasTom Petty. The late Del Shannon was solucky, and the combination worked. Hitmaterial.

Soul AsylumSpinnin' - A&MStill sounding similar to the disbandedHiisker Du, Soul Asylum are also fromMinneapolis. Suitable material for any al-ternative programmer who has just fi-nished reading Bob Mould's Workbook.

Ten SharpYou - ColumbiaReduced from a three piece band to a duo,these Dutch musicians are back on thescene again. Taken from their forthcomingalbum Under The Water -Line, this singleis very reminiscent of Elton John's SorrySeems To Be The Hardest Word.

ALBUMS

9 Ways To Sunday9 Ways To Sunday - GiantAmerican six -piece band struggle with ty-pical European pop. In earlier days theirmusic would have been filed under "newwave". Only The Innocent comes prettyclose to bands such as Aztec Camera andPrefab Sprout. On Get Back Home, theband explore the no man's land betweenThe Clash and U2. One of the first in along series of new LPs on Irving Azoffsnew Giant label.

Blue BlotBridge To Your Heart - BMG AriolaIf they were blindfolded, blues and soulconnoisseurs would have a hard time re-cognising the origins of this record. Is itthe new Dough MacLeod album, or is it

an unknown bluesy side of Bill Withers?They're wrong. Blue Blot are a skilledblues band from Belgium. With a track tit-led DJ Play My Blues, album rock pro-grammers will know what to do.

Jil CaplanLa Channeuse De Serpents - EpicPouring wine into water? These are notyour regular chansons and Caplan demon-strates the genre can still be developed.For her it's the most Simple Mélange, in-cluding ingredients from sweet soul music(As-Tu Nig) and galloping C&W (ToutC'qui Nous Separe). She serves a deliciousmusical dinner.

Cycle Sluts From HellCycle Sluts From Hell - EpicAbandon all morality, these girls have gotyou By The Balls. All tricks to upset theauthorities and . public opinion are appliedwith relish.

JJ

Intro... - ColumbiaThe time is right for crystal-clear poptunes. Susanna Hoffs and the Divinyls didtheir part of the work, now it's JanJohnston and Tony Kirkham's turn. Theduo's mood is blue (Denim And Blue).Slide Away is an excellent track for day-dreaming on a rainy Sunday morning inthe spring. Also try If This Is Love, theircurrent single.

The KLFThe White Room - KLF CommunicationsIt's impossible to categorise thisLiverpudlian dance project made up ofBill Drummond and Jimmy Cauty. Assoon as you've decided . it's soul, theychange into a hiphouse act. Sometimesthey even manage to combine both on oneparticular track, as on the hit single WhatTime Is Love?. They use samples likeschoolkids clear out glue -pots: right to thebottom.

Noir DesirDu Ciment Sous Les Plaines - BarclayLa douce France on the rocks! Only thelyrics are French. They play the same prai-rie rock as American band The Gun Club,but with a whole lot more "joie de vivre".In their own words, they are En RoutePour La Joie. After Mario Negra and LesNegresses Vertes, they will be the nextFrench band to make it big outside hometerritory. Napoleon would certainly haveloved it.

Teddy PendergrassTruly Blessed - ElektraNext chapter in the continuing story ofsophisticated, late -night soul music. Turnup the volume, dim the lights. Only theuncorking of bottles of wine will disturbsugar -sweet ballad time. Apart from theusual dose of romance (It's Over and thetitle track), there's also some time to dance(Don't You Ever Stop).

TangierStranded - AtcoHard rock with a stark bluesy feel. Theway guitarist Doug Gordon slides throughthe track If Ya Can't Find Love is ear -blis-tering. Sharp -voiced new vocalist MikeLeCompte is a real asset to the band. Anyrock programmer seduced by Aerosmith,Cinderella and Great White will probablylove this.

Bee GeesSome bands are always contemporary. The Bee Gees are one of the

most popular and enduring acts in the history of pop music. With therelease of their 27th album, "High Civilization", on March 18 (theirthird for Warner Brothers) and a massive European tour to follow,

they are firmly back on the scene again.

by Robbert Tilli

The brothers Gibb can claim the greatestnumber of hits all time. Starting with 1967'sdebut single Spicks And Specks, they wenton to have 40 hits worldwide. And this is notthe end. The first single from the new albumSecret Love charted in the UK at no 38 aftertwo weeks. In Holland the single is currentlyat no. 37 and no. 11 in Denmark. In theCoca-Cola Eurochart Hot 100 Singles it isa new entry at no. 89. It is also a new entryat no. 14 in the EHR Top 25.

The single is an excellent preview of theself -produced album. It is very straightfor-ward; the sound-which includes heavydrum programming-is more Americanthan their previous work. Their trademark,the falset harmony vocals, are moved to thebackground. Warner Brothers Europeanmarketing manager Lars Toft says, "TheBee Gees are always good at being contem-porary. They update their sound at the righttime. But it is still very Bee Gees."

The brothers have always stood on thefrontline of innovation. In the mid -'70s theyanticipated the disco era of pop music andbecame trendsetters of the genre. This cul-minated in their contribution to the higlysuccessful soundtrack of the original mo-tion picture "Saturday Night Fever" (1977),selling 30 million copies worldwide.

They have continued their success eversince. After a six -year retirement as a

band-a period of solo albums and allkinds of sidesteps-the Bee Gees madetheir comeback with their 1987 Warnerdebut album E.S.P. It reached no. 12 in theEuropean Top 100 Albums in 1988; the1989 follow-up One reached no. 10. Barry,Robin and Maurice Gibb worked for ne-arly one year in their own Miami studio onthe new album, which is expected to be assuccessful as its predecessors.

According to Toft, the new LP is a prio-rity release for Warner. "We've set up awhole marketing plan. We spent a lot ofmoney on promotion and on their tour. Butit's not only important for us, also for them-selves. They always want to come backagain and show their abilities."

The campaign is targeted mainly atGermany, the most important market inEurope for the Bee Gees. A 30 -secondradio advertising spot is scheduled for na-tionwide rotation during April, with TV ad-vertising possibly to start at a later date.The radio advertising spot will also be runin Holland and Austria; France is pending.An appearance is planned on German TVshow Wetten Dass.

German magazine Stern will publish anadvertorial as a pullout insert. A major partof the European tour, from May 25 on untilJuly 7, will take place in Germany. Othercountries listed, are the UK, Italy, Austria,Switzerland, France, Spain, Holland andBelgium.

STATION OPERATIONS

IS WHAT YOU SEE WHAT YOU GET?

Evaluating A Station's PersonalityWith rising competition on the airwaves, it is becoming

increasingly important for radio stations to develop indi-vidual personalities. M&M investigates possibilities ofadjusting your personality towards the target listener's

perception of his or her favourite station.

by John Catlett

While still at college, I spent asummer working for one of NewYork's biggest advertising agen-cies. The agency dealt in the pro-motion of packaged goods andspent a lot of time and effortmoulding the personality of thebrand.

Later, as manager of aChicago radio station, I wasstruck by the headline of a salesbrochure sent to me by a jinglecompany, wanting to help designmy station's printed logo. Theheadline stated, "A radio station'spersonality isn't limited to its

sound!"This concept touched on a cen-

tral truth. People tend to get in-volved with their favourite radiostation in a way that never hap-pens with a packaged product.People love their radio stationmore than their newspaper, andcertainly more than the TV.

What we are really discussinghere is the concept of "stationa-

Comments Red Rose MD DaveLincoln, "When we split frequen-cies last year, we tried to learn fromPiccadilly Radio's mistakes andfollowed our research assiduously.We paid a lot for it and there wasno point in ignoring what it told usor just taking the bits we agreedwith.

"Rock FM is pitched regionallyrather than locally, which meanswe get a big audience outside ourtotal service area. We get listenersin Liverpool where City FM ismore chart -led and dance -based.We make a point of mentioningplaces as often as possible, even ifthey are outside our total servicearea.

"Advertising is 90% local at themoment. National advertising hascollapsed. But regionally it is notbiting as hard here as it is in someareas. We are doing the sameamount of business as we were ayear ago. But we have to be morecreative about it.

"We use Selector to programmethe music which gives us the con-trol to make sure both stationssound the way we want. You do notget a variation from one presenterto the next. It is an essential tool inradio programming today.

"The only specialist show wedo is a rock show and that featurescore artists as well. The balance is

simply tipped more strongly in fa-vour of harder rock. A lot of sta-tions go off at a tangent in the eve-ning and lose their audience by notplaying anything familiar."

Head of music and drivetimepresenter Kenni James says, "Withthe average chart -life of a single atfive weeks, we tend to concentrateon album artists. And we will notnecessarily always pick the singleif we think there is another trackthat is more suitable for us. Recordcompanies are happy with that.And we know we are selling re-cords. The North West is the hig-hest record sales area outside theSouth East. And we always playthe version that people can buy inthe shops.

"Our relationship with the rec-ord companies is good. We are ho-nest with them. We tell them whatwe are not going to play rather thanpromising to play something andnot doing so.

"We are very careful aboutdance music. We play the betterthings like C&C Music Factorywhen we know the audience is lis-tening."

FRANCE: GETTING AIRPLAY

Is new talent finding its way to the airwaves of French radio, or are only established artists making playlists?With some 1.800 FM stations practically all airing George Michael, Sting and Phil Collins, M&M assesses the state of airplay.

Labels say the situation has reached a critical stage. It isclaimed French radio, and notably the FMs, are just notplaying new acts. Only artists with proven track records

and chart success have any hope of making it onto the playlists.Radio argues it cannot afford to devote airplay to acts which

have yet to prove their artistic and or commercial worth.This is particularly true of domestic talent. The top five FM sta-

tions provide little evidence of the wealth of new acts on theFrench scene, including rap.

Fun Radio head of music Bruno Witek denies that radio hasany de facto obligation to put new acts on the air. "It is not up toradio to help the record industry." His viewpoint is unlikely to re-assure new artists.

So does radio have an obligation to air new talent? Most FMprogrammers would certainly consider "obligation" too strong aterm, particularly when it relates to new French talent. Skyrockdirector of programmes Laurent Bouneau enthuses about his cur-rent favourite top three of Iggy Pop, Happy Mondays and TheCharlatans.

Anglo-American Preference

Bouneau is quick to defend himself against charges of Anglo-American preference. "Our listeners are 15-25 years old and wantto hear international artists. They prefer hearing these, rather thanFrench -language acts. We can't get away from this basic fact."

Out of 40 titles on Skyrock's February playlist, the main Frenchartists are Jean -Jacques Goldman, Patrick Bruel and AlainChamfort.

There is little rap, and even the latest singles from relatively es-

tablished alternative French rock acts do not have an automaticright to a place on the playlist, although they have been slated withpast hits. New acts on the playlist are more likely to be of Anglo-Saxon origin, rather than domestic product.

"I am sorry, but a lot of these artists are simply not goodenough," comments Bouneau. "We have a very precise target au-dience, a well -designed niche and, when I am compiling the play -list, I want to address the whole target spread.

"If a record is going to appeal to the 15-18 year olds but not the18-25 year olds, which is true of many rap singles, then I am notgoing to play it."

French acts, who have built up a substantial following proved bysellout concerts and healthy record sales, do not necessarily makethe playlist either.

Iam not programming for record buyers," asserts Bouneau. "Ido not care if an artist sells a certain number of records orsells out concerts. I am programming for a radio audience,

and as I do not want to lose any audience, I only programme whatI know is going to work. This is a business like any other."

The idea of a programme devoted entirely to new talent is un-likely to arouse much enthusiasm among programmers. They aremore likely to suggest an oldies segment.

One solution is to have both. Eric Hauville of regional FM sta-tion RVS explains, "The Gulf crisis has certainly not helped mat-ters. People are very conservative, particularly at the moment.They want sure values, nothing too shocking.

"We intended to introduce a new late -night programme featuringnew talent, but that was put on hold. However, we have introduceda new section featuring news and hits from the past."

The Gulf crisis did cause some labels to hint at "discrimination"at the hands of programmers. However, any incipient censorship ismore likely to have affected AM rather than FM airplay.

The majority of FM stations say they did not practise censorshipin any form during the crisis.

Overcoming The Listener

One major obstacle to new talent airplay is the listener. Maxxi-mum FM programme director Michel Brillie comments on theoverall FM scene, "Listeners are basically conservative. The play -list reflects this.

Drawing comparison with pre -FM radio, when programmers ofEurope 1 and RTL appeared to have playlist monopoly, Brillieadds, "Even when there were only one or two people decidingwhat went on the playlist at Eurppe 1, rather than listeners' panelsbeing used, the results were practically the same as they are now."

As for Maxximum's dance format policy, Brillie comments, "Wewill play new talent coming out of France, but only if it is good.Not because it is French, in the same way that we will play newacts from Spain, Italy, the UK, Belgium and the US. There are nobarriers."

Brillie's ex -Europe 1 colleague Marc Garcia (now with Europe2) also acknowledges the force of panels, as well as the effects ofever -more stringent market research methods.

Says Garcia, "There are increasing restrictions on the playlist,but we have to concentrate on satisfying our listeners. They largelyprefer to hear gold titles that have proved such a success forEurope 2, rather than too many new and unexpected artists."

Feeling The Pinch

However, shortened playlists are not only restricted to the top FMstations. Smaller FMs, which have built their reputations onplaying new (non -top 40) product, are also feeling the pinch. OuiFM has a dance manufacture spot, where unsigned groups cansend in cassettes for broadcast. This is also a speciality of AMssuch as Radio Monte Carlo, where Franck Pelloux has long sup-ported new talent.

But the ongoing affair between listener and anything remotelygold or nostalgic is driving down available airtime. And program-mers seem only too willing to play ball on this format.



FRANCE: CONSULTANTS

In recent years, foreign, and notably US consultants, have found the French FM market to be a happy hunting ground. Radio, however, was not looking forcamouflage, but rather results. Consultants with experience of tough markets, even if they don't speak French, have almost always been made welcome.

Since the FM scene snowballed back in 1981, a number ofFrench stations have begun to realise there are specific tar-gets to meet. As competition intensified and the stakes incre-

ased, stations have had to make it to the top by establishing a niche.The national FM networks have carved out their territories withfixed specialist formats, dictated by consumer needs, the competi-tion-and consultants.

Nobody in the industry would deny that American consultantscan, and often do, make a significant contribution to the Frenchradio scene.

But at what point should such consultants be called in? And hav-ing delivered the goods, should they be politely thanked for theirservices and let go? If indeed they can be let go without the stationformat falling to pieces.

Some stations, notably those with the advantage of wealthy back-ers, have used consultants from day one. This has been the case forthose stations created in the second half of the 1980s, such asMaxximum FM, the off -shoot of RTL.

Emmis ConnectionDance -orientated RTL first had US company Emmis Broadcastingplaying an advisory role. The relationship then developed to thepoint where Emmis has now become a shareholder.

Explains Maxximum programme director Michel Brillie, "Emmisstarted off working mainly on defining the marketing structure andthe format we wanted to launch. They helped define the format-this was their particular strength because they had real experience."

For Blithe, Emmis's formalised financial involvement has sincelessened the impact of their consultancy role. "Now that the formatis launched, their work is virtually done. We still communicate withthem on an informal basis.

"The Americans invented format radio, a concept previously notwell known in Europe. It was obviously essential to share theirknowledge in the first place, but after that you are really on yourown."

A point which is not necessarily shared by Europe 2 or Skyrock.two successful FM stations which have long extolled the virtues ofthe US -based Jeff Pollack Media Group. Neither have plans tochange the winning arrangement, with Pollack also advising Europe2's overseas stations.

Both stations differ considerably in background and style:Skyrock is the commercial offspring of the 1981 "radio fi-bres" movement, targeted at 15-34 year olds; while Europe

2 was launched by sister station Europe 1 in the latter half of the'80s. Its easy listening format attracts a 15-49 audience and particu-larly 25-49 year olds.

Skyrock and Europe 2's ratings therefore outnumber those of theirrivals across the whole audience spectrum, a complementary rela-tionship that has been considerably, but not completely, aided by ef-fective consultancy.

Comments Europe 2 GM Martin Brisac, "Using the services of aconsultant is a way to take a step back and see things from a differ-ent perspective."

And he points out that a consultant can also serve as a vital cata-lyst. "The Europe 2 team has worked closely together for sometime-we tend to agree with each other to have a particular point ofview. So sometimes it helps to introduce a little discussion, a littlecontroversy. A consultant can do this. But this does not necessarilymean that the consultant's point of view becomes the majority pointof view. It is just a more constructive way of working."

One point Brisac stresses, however, is that real effectiveness of aconsultant depends on the company they keep. In other words, if theprogrammer is weak then the consultant's impact is likely to be dilu-ted in equal measure.

"It is good to have a consultant when you have a strong pro-gramme director, such as Marc Garcia. The problems start when aprogramming team is bad, or simply mediocre. Then the consultanthas more influence and that changes everything. There has to be abalance of power."

NRJ's Max Guazzini says, "It is always important to listen to theexperience and advice of others, but this is not necessarily an end initself." Though Guazzini said he was not against using consultants,he would not directly comment on their role within the NRJ struc-

ture. "Even if we do use a consultant, it is always us who take thefinal decision."

Fun Radio, a station that shares the same target audience as NRJ,is also cagey. Head of music Bruno Witek would only comment,"We do use an American consultant from time -to -time, but only re-garding very specific subjects. We have not really decided how farthe relationship is going to go."

Sud Radio programme director Marie-Ange Roig claimsthat AM stations have little need for consultants, arguing,"AM formats are not fixed like an FM format-good pro-

gramming depends on good timing rather than targeting a specificaudience".

Rouen -based RVS, currently experimenting with a mixedFM/AM style format, is also sceptical. MD Eric Hauville high-lights the difference between national and regional needs and re-sources. "At RVS, we do not really need a consultant. We know ouraudience well. A consultant might be useful for a fixed format sta-tion, but not for us. In any case, I have already worked with Ameri-can consultants when I was at Maxximum FM and frankly I do notthink that US methods are that suited to the French market."

French consultants are thin on the ground and those that do servestations generally need to have very impressive track records tocompete with their Anglo-American counterparts.

One FM station that does use a French consultancy is RFM. Butthe station also draws on two international consultants, AustralianPeter Don and US consultant Jack Desuze.

"The three complement each other," explains RFM programmedirector Jean -Bruno Michaud. "Peter Don also does a great deal ofwork in the US. We see each of them three or four times a year."

Considered The IdeaMetropolys programme director and co-founder Philippe Schem-berg explains, "We do not have a consultant. It is a subject we haveconsidered in the past, but at the moment we have other priorities.The real problem is that most of the best consultants are Americanand the ones we might want to work with are already working withrival stations. They already have a kind of monopoly."

A major problem can arise over dependency on research methods.The result might be over -harassed programme directors runningaround, heads full of data, wondering if a certain title on the playlistwill be the one to upset the delicate analysed balance and bring theratings down.

Such a scenario is likely to reduce the playlist to little more than asales tool-and programmers to nervous wrecks.

Oui FM station manager Jean Francois Acker, "What do weneed a consultant for? We have everything we need here. We havepeople from Virgin and PolyGram (both shareholders) and all thepeople who work here. We already have all the consultants weneed."

FRANCE: PRIORITY RELEASES

Promotion, Using Radioby Robbert Tilli

M radio generally plays 70-80% French music. On FM only 20-30% is local pro-duct. FM targets the 15-25 year old market, playing more music, less titles. Theselisteners-mainly singles-buyers-prefer international music to domestic product.

AM listeners are adults, more into their own French music.A research system based on US methods is used to determine which records receive airplay

on FM. A phone panel calls 250 people. First the listeners are asked to which age categorythey belong. When that has been checked, 60 different tracks are played on the phone, eachtrack only seven seconds. At this stage two questions are asked to the listeners: "Do you knowit?" and "Do you like it?"

When the panel receives enough positive reactions on a particular track, they advise the FMradio station to put it on their playlist. So learning to know a record is very important, other-wise FM airplay can never be achieved. That is why so many French records have to be brokenon AM stations first, or on TV with the accompanying video. Smaller local FM stations alsosupport French artists.

"It's a strange system," agrees Sony Music marketing manager Virginie Auclair. "Peoplelike to hear music they know. That's a contradiction to the record industry, which wants tolaunch new names. But it's not impossible to break records on the FM stations. I don't want tobeipessimistic. You know there are also records on the playlist which burn out. Those recordshaVe to be replaced by others. People tend to get bored when they hear a record too much, anddemand a change in the playlist."

"Despite the system, we still break records. Thierry Hazard achieved a top 10 hit withoutairplay on the FM networks. He certainly got airplay on the local FM stations, but his songPoupee Psychedelique wasn't accepted by the panel. This proves that you can chart without thesupport of the major FM networks. With every release we try everything we can. We serviceboth FM and AM stations.even if we have difficultiesgetting French products on "People like to hear music they know...FM."

Polydor international ex -that's a contradiction to the record indus-

ploitation manager Marie- try, which wants to launch new names."Agnes Beau thinks her corn- - Virginie Auclair, Sony Music.patty needs both FM and AMstations for promotion, "Frommy point of view you need both of them. But it really depends on the product. With our danceproduct we target the FM stations. Public broadcaster France Inter is becoming a more andmore important AM station, because they are becoming more formatted. That's good for artistdevelopment. French pop music is targeted towards the AM stations."

quatt, a division of Sony Music, is working closely with FM stations outside thenetworks too, says director Didier Tuaillon. "Oui FM/Paris, Maxximum/Paris andCanale 9. are very important for us. National radio takes less and less risks, they're

not the hitmakers, with the positive exception of France Inter. But for us it's important to stayon the playlists of both urban and rock radio."

BMG Ariola promotion director Antoine Chouchani states. "Those local stations still playnew acts. They don't limit themselves to playing only stars. NRJ plays a very important role indiscovering and breaking new acts; actually they are trendsetting. Other stations like Skyrockand Fun just wait for them, before taking actions themselves. NRJ has the widest format of allthe stations monitored by the Media Control research organisation. They play dance, whichEurope 2 for instance doesn't."

Vogue A&R manager Remy Roux says, "Not many new artists are heard on FM radio. Thelast times it was only cover versions and back catalogue material, because so many old recordshave been re-released on CD. But at the moment it's starting to change, music always will haveits trends. So the time has come now for new things, people have had enough of all those com-pilations. Luckily NRJ doesn't use the panel, they play some new things. But the problem withFM stations remains that they only have 50 different titles on their playlists. That used to be80."

Some labels live in such great luxury, they do not even need to promote their records intensi-vely on -air any more. Phonogram export manager Pascale Chadaillac says. "Johnny Hally-day and Francois Feldman are such big stars in France, they had such massive success withtheir debut albums, everybody is waiting for their second. We certainly have no problemgetting airplay for these artists. The same can be said about Barclay act Noir Desir who willrelease their third album."

One possibility of promotion is not considered very often, which is not promoting, the re-cords on radio at all. Warner Music marketing manager Anne -Catherine Bley explains,"Since we're only releasing back catalogue material at the moment, there's no point in promo-ting it in the traditional way. So we don't necessarily send out these records to radio stations.These re-releases are part of our mid -price series. Our advertising campaign is aimed at retailonly."

The EHR Top 25 chart is based on a weighted -searing system. Songs score points by achieving airplay at M&M's EHR reportingstations. Unlike M&M's European Airplay Top 50, which includes reports from stations serving o general audience, these stations target 12-34 yearold listeners with contemporary music fulltime or during specific dayparts. Songs in "A" rotation airplay receive more points thanthose in "8" rotation or more limited airplay exposure. Stations are weighted by market size and by the number of hours per week commit-ted to the format..

The EHR Tracking Report represents the simple, unweighted, total number of EHR reporting stations playing a song overall,how many stations hove that song in either an "A" or II" rotation, and how many new odds it hos received. If the number of songs in "A" and "8"combined do not match the total station count, it is because some stations either have reported it as part of album airplay or have not indicated it in"A" or 'V rotation yet. In the case of a tie, songs are listed alphabetically by artist

OFF THE RECORD

French Deal Talk

That French media company wementioned last week which wastalking with US bankers about ex-pansion .plans? Turns out it's EHRnetwork Metropolys FM. Thecompany reportedly is talking toCommunications Equity Asso-ciates, one of the top US mediabroker/investment banks about sel-ling up to 45% of the network. Theprice tag for the stake: somewherein the Ffr23 million (USS4.6 mil-lion) range.

Ditto For The UKWe are hearing more and moreabout stakes in UK radio stationscoming up for sale. We've addedabout another dozen stations to ourM&A hitlist.

And In GermanyWatch out for developments in theHamburg area. Word is that one sta-

tion owner is looking for partners.According to inside sources, theowner has approached two nationaland two foreign publishing andmedia companies. The money is re-portedly targeted for expansion.

And in a non -deal vein inGermany, Sony Music Germanyhas announced a new talent contestfor amatuer musicians. The com-pany has recruited TV station Tele5 as co-sponsor. Rock group Totoare hosting the event.

Copyright UpdateHow successful is Dave Price,BBC Radio's head of recordingservices, in convincing the UK rec-ord and regulatory industries toadopt a standard CD coding forsimplified copyright identification?

Jackson(continued from page 1)

Its predecessor, Control, toppedeight million sales worldwide.A&M is reported to have rights to agreatest hits compilation.

To make its numbers work,Virgin is betting that Jackson'sblockbuster success will continue inthe States. The label also has its eyefirmly on Europe, where the perfor-mances of her A&M releases hasreportedly not been up to expecta-tions.

Sources say European sales ofRhythm Nation 1814 are around theone million mark, with more than300.000 in the UK, 127.000 inGermany and 45.000 in Sweden.A&M's marketing and promotionexpenditure in mainland Europe forthe album is said to have exceededUS$1.5 million.

Jackson's hard -driving brand ofAmerican urban pop is a tough sellon this side of the Atlantic, accor-ding to A&M insiders. "The imageon the albums and videos, with allthe uniforms, was dark and moody,"says one senior staffer. "It just didn'tseem to work as well here."

Another factor may have been arelease schedule not best -suited forEurope. Black Cat was the top -sel-ling single from Rhythm Nation1814, but it was the fourth releasefrom the album. "If that had beenthe first, it might have made a diffe-rence. It's the kind of song thatworks better in Europe," commentsone executive.

Whatever Jackson's sales,A&M's parent company,PolyGram, was apparently unwil-ling to match the Virgin bid dollarfor dollar. PolyGram presidentAlain Levy was recently quoted assaying he would not get into a bid-ding war. "I've never done it, andI'm not going to get into it now," hetold Billboard.

Jackson's day-to-day liaison withVirgin will be through its US label,headed by co -president JeffAyeroff and Jordon Harris.

IR(continued from page 1)

Adds Simpson, "Initial au-dience research indicates thescheme was very successful, lis-tening figures having shot upover the three weeks. We arehappy to do the same again andwould like to hear from any-body with a lot of money togive away to our listeners."

quiz between PRS and the broad-casters. Triggered by just a few se-conds of an intro, outro or middle -eight, the candidates showed anastonishing ability to recognisesongs. The two broadcasters, AndyPeebles and Roger Day, won, butwe are proud to report thatM&M-not officially takingpart-ended in third place.

RTL ExpandsRTL has added nine new cities inthe region of Champagne -Ardennes to its FM network inFrance. Cities are Reims, Charle-ville-Mezieres, Sedan, Troyes,Vitry le Francios, Chaumont,Chalons-sur-Marne, Epemay, Saint-Dizier.

Simple DisputeSimple Minds appear to have gotthemselves on the wrong side ofLondon's booking agents. Theband are reported to have agreed

this summer to use as tour produ-cer German promoter MarcelAvram, effectively cutting outtheir long-standing agent IanHooks at Wasted Talent. Hookshas told M&M of legal actionagainst unspecified parties. Elevenof Hooks's agent colleagues got to-gether and collectively fired off aletter to Avram and Minds ma-nager Paul Kerr, detailing howbypassing an agent undermines thelive music business and that this isnot the way they think businessshould be done.

Bits & PiecesHappy birthday to Radio2/Brabant, which celebrates itsfifth birthday on March 17. Whichlabel was the market share leaderin Austria? What are Trema'splans for France? Is the Swedishgovernment feeling the heat from acertain organisation for its attitudetoward commercial radio and TV?

Is the Catholic church about to stepup its message on Spanish radio sta-tions? Who is lining up to take partin Cologne's newest private radiostation?

At DeadlineWe hear from AIRC CopyrightCommittee chairman/ RadioClyde MD James Gordon that theA1RC intends to let the extendedPPL experimental licence run untilthe end of the month and then goto the Copyright Tribunal "to letthem assess a fair rate".

PolyGram UK chairmanMaurice Oberstein is the newchairman of the British Phono-graphic Industry.

Comments Citibank Euro-pean media analyst ChrisAkers, "The creation of a radionetwork modelled like an ITVfranchise and which has a majorpresence in Scotland probablywarranted the premium thatClyde paid.

"Ironically, Forth had rejec-ted takeover overtures about 18months ago. That was nevermade public."

Akers also explains that thestock swap keeps Clyde's ba-lance sheet clear of debt andfrees the company to concen-trate on a potential INR bid andfuture expansion.

Comments Radio Clyde MDJames Gordon, "Radio Forthshareholders wished to continueto participate in the futuregrowth of the company and themerger does that. It strengthensthe position of the company inthe UK market and any futureexpansion. It also puts us in abetter position for any possibleINR bid."

Gordon plans to remain handsoff when it comes to program-ming at Forth. "We won't makemajor changes. We believe inthe importance of local pro-gramming. That's why both sta-tions have very impressive liste-

10% overlap in the combinedservice area). While the reces-sion has affected nearly allareas, Scotland has fared betterthan most. Clyde earns about60% of its revenue from localadvertising, compared to 55%
