Upfrontby Emmanuel Legrand. Music & Media editor -In -chief

The bright sun on the French Riviera last month for theMidem trade show in Cannes couldn't cast a shadow overthe fact that the "dematerialisation" of music, as describedin this column a few months ago, is happening at a muchfaster pace than initially anticipated by the music industry.

Midem was packed with Internet -related companieseager to promote new search engines, new e -commercesites, or streamlining and downloading devices. Most ofthese companies are now courting the music industry, asmusic is the third most popular item on the Net, accord-ing to research. At one point, some professionals whoattended Midem this year wondered if recorded music hadany future at all.

With the advent of the MP3 (and now MP4) download-ing technology and its huge popularity, schoolkids can

now download music from a vast number of illegitimateweb sites and pass them on (or sell them) to their friends.

Indeed, French industry body SNEP sent a letter to theFrench education minister in January last year asking foraction from the government, suggesting that schoolyardshave now become the main place for the selling of illegiti-mate music, thanks to MP3 and recordable CD players.

One of the most sensiblecomments made in Cannescame from Larry Miller, CEOof AT&T's Internet -relatedaffiliate alb, who said that"people care about artists, nottechnology-but artists wantto be paid."

Whatever the terms of theequation, there's one constant:rights owners need to earn a liv-ing and, therefore, someone hasto pay for the use of music. Gotell the kids in the schoolyards!

Yellow card for 538, Music Factoryby Robbert Tilli

HILVERSUM - Dutch nationalCHR/dance station Radio 538 andmusic TV channel The Music Factory(TMF) are launching a loyalty card

targeting their young audiences.Holders of the Yellow Card, which

will be launched on March 1 in con-junction with Dutch telecommunica-tions company KPN Telecom and thePostbank bank, will benefit from dis-

Warner Music Austria (WMA) recently presented public CHR station03 with a cheque for Sch50,000 (euro 3,633). The money will be donat-ed to the charity Licht ins Dunkel, which 03 supports, and will beused to finance a children's home in Jennersdorf, Burgenland. WarnerMusic Eastern Europe president Manfred Lappe (left) and WMAdeputy MD Manfred Wodara (right) are pictured presenting thecheque to 03 presenter Martina Rupp.

counts at retailers and will be givenpriority at the box office for a numberof concerts, including the annualTMF Showcase. The card will costDfl25.00 (euro 11.00).

"Music and going out are the toppriorities for young people," saysYellow Card director Harry Steen-kamp, who is aiming for 100,000members during the scheme's firstyear of operation. Card holders willalso be able to communicate with eachother on-line via the YellowNet, usinga special CD-ROM application card.

"The introduction of the YellowCard underlines Radio 538's intentionto become a leading brand name,"comments the station's managingdirector Erik de Zwart. "538 is morethan just a radio station. It's a versa-tile brand which ties in with youngpeople's needs."

The Yellow Card is not the first timeRadio 538 has attempted to extend itsbrand beyond radio. Other recent ven-tures have included Radio 538Beachmasters (holidays to youth -ori-ented resorts), a 538 branded scooterand Citroen car, plus an on-line recordshop (a joint venture with Plato.nl).

In addition to its business part-ners, 538 and TMF are also involvingcharitable partners-such as theRacism Beat It festival-in the YellowCard scheme.

Time for Action in Brussels?by Marc Maes

BRUSSELS - Brussels urban stationAction has presented over 10,000 lis-teners' signatures to French Belgianmedia minister Laurette Onkelinx ina dramatic plea to increase its cover-age in the Belgian capital.

Originally launched as a smallcommunity station in Brussels some15 years ago, Action has developedinto to a fully-fledged independentcommercial broadcaster catering for ayoung multicultural audience, with amix of R&B, hip hop and speechitems.

"The station has evolved and grad-

ually built a loyal audience," says sta-tion director Nasky. "We have aunique format in Brussels, producedin Brussels. But we want people to beable hear us all over the city, andwe've been asking for an increase inour transmitter power time and timeagain, without success. We don't wantto have to break the law by boostingour current power or changing ourfrequency."

He adds: "Now it's up to the minis-ter to say what's going to happen-although we think the whole new fre-quency plan for southern Belgiumwill be postponed until after theEuropean elections on June 13."

Midem gets an onby Adam Whiteinternational editor in chief Billboard

PARIS - The rapidly expanding on-line music sector helped swell atten-dances at last month's Midem tradefair in Cannes to record levels, accord-ing to Reed Midem Organisation(RMO) chief executive Xavier Roy.

The annual music industry con-vention drew slightly more attendeesthan in 1998: 10,864 individuals(compared to 10,819), from 94 nations(90 last year), representing 4,057companies (3,900).

"The real boom [at Midem] is inthe Internet and on-line sector," con-firms Roy. A total of 15 Internet -relat-ed companies took exhibit space at

Midem's Palais des festi-vals, and many more indi-viduals represented on-line interests.

"The participants I'vespoken to have beenextremely pleased withtheir visibility here andthe contacts made," saysRoy, noting that Lucent Technologieswas the single largest corporateexhibitor at Midem this year, present-ing its Music On Demand system."We expect even more growth atMidem 2000 in this new -media area."

Next year the organisers will stageMidnet, which will provide dedicatedexhibit space, business panels and anawards programme for the on-line

The key to theLabelnet concept isa newly -createdsearch enginecalled Music Lenswhich, unlike nor-mal search engines,

not only searches for music sites bykey words, but also classifies music bymood and tempo.

"It means independent labels canprofile their tracks, products and

artists according to objective as well assubjective classification criteria,"explains Labelnet CEO JensMatthiesen. "The idea for Labelnetcame through the work of the UUT[German Association of IndependentRecord Companies].

There will be a monthly fee forindies participating in Labelnet,which will be calculated according tosize of catalogue.

Authors' bodies address on-line rightsby Jeff Clark -Meadsinternational news editor, Billboard

LONDON - Rights holders in Europeare aiming to set a global standard forselling their works on-line.

The initiative is the product of ameeting between leading publishersand the heads of the EU's authors' bod-ies during the Midem trade fair inCannes last month.

Martin Bandier, chairman and CEOof EMI Music Publishing, comments-"There are more questions than wehave answers to with the Internet. Forinstance, if somebody in London down-loads music from a site in New York, dothey pay mechanical royalties at the

U.S. rate or the higher European rate?"Bandier says the European societies

have been asked to produce a "positionpaper" to address this and otheraspects of online business.

It is understood that a team of fourexecutives will spearhead the project,representing Europe's biggest societies:Germany's GEMA, the U.K's MCPS-PRS, France's SACEM/SDRM andDutch body BUMA-STEMRA.

Reinhard Nicklas, director ofGEMA's industry department, says hebelieves the position paper should becompleted by the summer, although"this document will not go into thedetail of tariff rates," he says. "It willmerely set out business standards."

Gunnar Petri, managing director ofSwedish authors' body STIM, says hebelieves the position paper should be abulwark against the relatively low U.S.rates being adopted as a world stan-dard. If the higher European rates aredropped, he says, "it will be extremelydamaging to authors and publishersthe world over."

MCPS-PRS chief executive JohnHutchinson says of the initiative: "Wefeel there is a danger that we do busi-ness on the Internet without havingdecided what we are selling. Any goodorganisation or group of organisationsdecides what the project is, and therules for selling, before entering thebusiness."

Radio 2 consortium reveal digital plansby Kai R. Lofthus

OSLO - Radio 2 Digital has announcedthat it will provide a national soft ACmusic service and a religious radio sta-tion, should it be awarded the lastremaining slot on Norway's national dig-ital radio multiplex.

The consortium says it would splitits allocated digital frequency in two,in order to broadcast simultaneouslya new soft AC station, Radio 2 (24hours a day) and religious broadcast-er Kristen Riksradio (eight hours aday). Kristen Riksradio currentlybroadcasts as a local station in Oslo.

Explains Norsk Aller managingdirector Ole Swther: "We'll be tryingto reflect the trend in Norwegian soci-ety of moving towards softer values,which led to [religious party] KristeligFolkeparti chairman Kjell MagneBondevik becoming prime ministerduring the last government elec-tions."

Radio 2 Digital's backers areDanish media conglomerate NorskAller (33 percent), Luxembourg -basedpan-European broadcaster SBS (30

percent), real estate company OlavThon Gruppen (12 percent), mediamagnate Einar Nagell-Erichsen(eight percent), plus KristenRiksradio (17 percent). KristenRiksradio had originally planned tomake its own digital application priorto joining the Radio 2 consortium,which is competing for the licence

with Norsk Radio Digital (M&MJanuary 23).

A third contender for the digitallicence, led by Knut Ivar Mikalsen,has now asked Norwegian regulatorStatens Medieforvaltning for a secondpostponement of the licence deadlineuntil September, in order to completeits application.

COVER MEWhile Urban Species' new album quietly gath-ers fans across continental Europe its titletrack, Blanket (Talking Loud/UK), is avail-able in two new mixes following Optical'sdrum'n'bass workout, which came out at theend of last year. Easily the most commercialtrack from the album, Blanket is one of thosehaunting, balladic tunes which sticks likeglue, thanks to the combination of ImogenHeap's searing vocals and a laid back, funkygroove which is here accentuated further byLondon -based DJ Raw Deal.

DA SWEDES ARE COMINGHaving taken the very timely opportunity at this year'sMidem to prove their strength in depth (Music & Media,February 6), one cannot help feeling that Swedish actsare going to be more high -profile than ever this year.Antiloop's I Believe (Stockholm Records/Sweden) is asgood a way as any to kick off. Trance par excellence witha melodramatic hook, lots of swirling synths and croak-ing 303s, it's been haunting dance floors since late lastyear.

RED HOTCurrently being played regularly on Dutch daytime radio,and picking up momentum rapidly across Europe thanksto a clutch of licensing deals sealed at Midem, Out OfCharacter's Give Me More (DJ Therapy/Holland) is com-mercial bigbeat crossed with a house feel. Thunderingbass and a silly hook, plus some well-timed '60s TV copshow references, add up to a splendid four minutes.

FRENCH FUNK, THAT'S WHAT IT ISLatest project from Paris -based Pro -Zak Trax, the labelresponsible for gems by Seven Dub, Aleem and Jordi. Graulast year, is Kojak's Hold Me ER Mixing spacey funkgrooves with vocal hooks and warm, filtered sounds, theduo of DJ Vas and Gregoire have found a fresh take on nu -disco by combining a sense of fun with something alto-gether deeper.

TRANCETASTICIf anyone attracted unusual amounts of attention fromMidem's huge dance industry presence-some 1,300Midem attendees are directly involved in dance music-itwas for one of two reasons: a perceived surefire hit orsomething highly original.

In MFS Records' case it was the latter. "I noticed lots ofteenagers talking about getting minidisc players forChristmas," says label founder Mark Reeder, "so I thoughtit was about time someone put out a trance compilation onMD." The result, entitled Assorted E for Europe-the Estands for Euro-proved to be one of the hot items. Promocopies at manufacturer DADC's stand went in one day."When I first approached DADC about the idea they saidthat, as far as they knew, this was the first compilation ofits kind on MD," recalls Reeder.

Aside from the novelty value the collection, mixed bythe magnificently named Corvin Dalek, is superb. Tracksfrom Ashtrax, Marmion, Cybersecrecy, Dillinger &Capone and Dalek himself provide a seamless glidethrough this highly approachable side of techno. The mixof swoosh, hummable tunes should cause this well-timedrecording to be looked back on as something of a break-through for a form which is currently on a comeback, andheading chartwards.

All new releases, biographies and photographs for con-sideration for inclusion in the Dance Grooves columnshould be sent direct to: Gary Smith, c/o. Roger deLluria 45-3° -2,08009 Barcelona, Spain.

Waldeck's Atlantic crossing

by Christian Lorenz

Viennese electronica artist Klaus Waldeck isthe first Austrian since Falco to get a fullalbum release in the U.S. as well as in allmajor European markets.

Release commitments for the first half of1999 from the U.K., Sweden, Holland, Belgiumand-most prominently-the U.S., are likelyto open new markets for the eclectic downbeatsounds of Waldeck, which feature formerIncognito singer Joy Malcolm on vocals. Thedebut album, Balance Of The Force, will bereleased through BMG in all territories exceptthe U.S., where it is due out at the beginningof March on indie label E-magine.

The rise of Waldeck to international famestarted in France where the debut set, onSpray/BMG, sold close to 10,000 copies,according to BMG France product managerRemi Sommers. This compares to sales of1,000 for Conversions (Spray/BMG), the 1996album debut by Austria's best known electron-ica stars, Kruder & Dorfmeister.

"Conversions came too early for the Frenchmarket," comments Sommers. "The Viennesesound has found a specialist audience here since,

and Kruder & Dorfineisterhave a very hip image inFrance. It certainly helpedthat they were involved withBalance Of The Force." Theduo produced two tracks:Moon and Aquarius, achilled -out cover of 5thDimension's 1969 hit fromthe hippie musical Hair.

"Aquarius was a minorimport hit in the U.K.when it first came out in1997," says Spray labelmanager AlexanderSpritzendorfer, wholaunched the indie in1989. BMG Entertainmentacquired Spray threeyears ago when theViennese scene began totake off. "Waldeck is the

first artist on Spray to get a major release inthe U.K. [on BMG's DeConstruction label],"adds Spritzendorfer.

The first single off the album, Defenseless,will be released on March 1, with new mixes byThievery Corporation and Fauna Flash.Sommers is confident that Defenseless canpush French sales towards 30,000. "We havenot worked a single off the album yet, and thetiming is now right. Radio support for Waldeckhas grown steadily from gay dance stationRadio FG/Paris, across student radio, toinclude [full -service station] France Inter."

Waldeck perform a showcase in New Yorkon February 15, followed by a European touras a trio planned to begin in early May.Waldeck are also booked to play at Germanmusic and entertainment industry fairPopkomm in August, according to Spray.

The international buzz around the "Viennasound" of chilled hip hop beats and jazz -tingedgrooves continues to grow, pushed forward onthe international club scene by artists such asthe Sofa Surfers, Pulsinger & Tunakan andKruder & Dorfmeister. Waldeck have thepotential to become the Vienna scene's firstgenuine pop crossovers.

Michelle White trades on French connectionby Cecile Tesseyre

It may be a new generation, but thestory remains the same. Just like herfather Tony Joe-whose "swamp"rock inspired many guitarists-U.S.singer Michelle White is turning toFrance for an appreciative audience.

Michelle's new album, Memphis,was released in Europe at thebeginning of the year on Riverthrough Columbia France. Theradio -friendly jazz, blues andcountry crossover set has alreadydrawn the attention of program-mers at French full service outletsFrance Inter and RTL, and White'sprofile in Europe might soon overtake herniche status at home.

"There is a spiritual thing between Franceand my family," confesses White. "A mutual lovethat never fails." But she struggles to put herfinger on what it is that makes her music popu-lar in France. "I believe my music is so American,in a way, that it must almost sound exotic toFrench ears."

A big fan of U.K band Massive Attack ,White

has nevertheless chosen tostay true to her roots, produc-ing an album steeped inAmericana.

Memphis gathers 12 short,sharp observations of life in theSouthern states. Her father co -wrote and plays lead guitar onthe first single, Menutha , andthe local flavours of Texas andTennessee are strong. But sheis at her most poignant with

the universal theme ofpoverty on 7 c An Hour.

Despite her family'sconnections with the

music industry, Michelle didnot rush into the business. "I've had offers eversince my twenties, but it was never with theright people." But, she adds, "I never stoppedwriting songs, financing my music by doing com-mercials in Los Angeles."

Then French producer Philippe Lebrasappeared with a deal. He and White plan tobuild her success from France, where Michellewill embark on an extensive tour in Februaryto promote the album.

The radio route to effective websitesIn the first of its "On TheWeb" series (January 30),M&M outlined some of theways in which radio sta-tions in Europe are turningtheir Websites into revenuegenerators as well asbrand builders. In part 2,features editor Terry Heathand programming editorMike McGeever examinethe practicalities of joiningthe bandwagon and get-ting started on the Internet.

n radio circles, the Internet has beena fact of life for long enough forbroadcasters to make reasonedassessments about its relevance andusefulness to their core activities.

The new medium has been generallyembraced as a tool for enhancingbranding, involving listeners, webcast-ing to give even local stations globalcoverage, and, in some cases, providinga fresh revenue stream (M&M, Jan.30). As John Ousby, director of GingerOnline which operates U.K nationalrock station Virgin Radio's website,says, "I have always seen the Net ascomplementary to radio rather than asa threat. We are very much into inte-gration of the web with our traditionalbroadcast activities."

There are some 2,000 stationswebcasting across the world, andmany more with their own websites.The audience is growing rapidly, too.For example, according to the 1998/9Internet Report by U.K.-based surveyorganisation Continental Research,regular Internet users in the U.K.alone have doubled-from 3.5 millionto 7 million-in 12 months between1997 and 1998.

The new technology bandwagonbuzz around the Internet seems toinsist that it's the way to go for allbroadcasters who want to stay withthe trends into the new millennium.

But is it for you?Although Peter Waak, MD of Swedishcommercial AC outlet Wow!105.5/Stockholm, is prepared toassert that "development of theInternet [for broadcasters] is a hun-dred times sexier than DAB," he addsa caution: "But that doesn't mean allradio stations should be seduced byit." Before taking the leap onto theInternet bandwagon, Waak warns, astation should consider its relevanceto the core business carefully. "It's aquestion of focus. What is your sta-tion's, your programmers', youradvertisers' focus? Think carefullybefore you do it."

That thinking should include arealistic assessment of what you wantyour Website to contribute to the sta-tion. There is a direct correlationbetween outlay and returns, andalthough both stations and websitedesigners are coy about costs-whichrange from a few hundred euros to getgoing, to an ongoing commitment to

spend thousands a month for mainte-nance of a sophisticated interactivesite-all agree that you get what youpay for.

As John Reddy of Dublin -basedsite designers Paintbox GraphicDesign-who work with, among oth-ers, Irish commercial Hot AC outletFM104/Dublin-says: "The cost canbe never-ending. The Internet is notlike print. It's always live, and thereare always opportunities to update.Radio stations at any stage of runninga site are on a learning curve. It's anongoing task."

Capturing the station's soulFor broadcasters who decide the webis for them, Reddy advises calling inprofessional help with design. "Thekey to it is good design. It has toreflect the complete image of the sta-tion. The site has to be driven by theradio's people-the presenters canproject themselves, and the siteshould reflect the daily events thestation is involved with-but visuallyit has to be right."

This is where the professionals canhelp, according to Reddy. "Thereshould be a designated `webmaster' atthe station to exchange informationwith the designer. We do the graphics.They do the information and content."

If design remains in-house, there isa danger of its losing its freshness andcharacter. "A lot of [radio] sites beginto look very samey," he points out.

Wow! 105.5's Waak concurs aboutcontent. "Your on -air content shouldbe on your website," he says. But hisexperience of running a site suggests

Ten steps to aradio Website

1. Discuss the station's focus pri-orities and decide whether aWebsite is a practical addition tooverall strategy. It may makesense, despite its sexiness, to say"no" to the Internet, at least forthe time being.2. If you go ahead, be serious.Draw up specific, realistic goalsfor your Website: these mayinclude brand reinforcement;

Webcasting; revenue generation.3. Make sure you have theresources, and commitment, tokeep the site up-to-date once it islaunched. This is not a one-offexercise. It will demand regularmaintenance.4. Unless you have specific in-house expertise, get help from aprofessional designer.5. Ensure the visual design ele-ments link closely to the station'sbranding and demographics.6. Give the site the same verbaltone and character as the radio

station. It's part of your totalmedia presentation.7. Look for partners: sponsors,advertisers, other media, to sharethe benefits-and the costs.8. Regularly refer the design/con-tent at all stages-before andafter launch- to your on- and off -air staff. Presenters, program-mers and sales need to feel com-fortable with it.9. Promote it on -air.10. Monitor, update, evolve anddevelop in line with user feed-back.

"I have always seen thenet as complementary toradio"

John Ousby,

director, Ginger Onlinealso that "you shouldn't necessarilyneed to introduce new staff to run it.It can be low -maintenance." Waakalso took an effective route to his sta-tion's first website by running a lis-tener competition to design it."There's a huge amount of creativityamong listeners," he says. "They'redoing [web design] for themselves,and they can capture the soul of thestation maybe even better than youcan, because they listen, they're fansand they are your ultimate target."

CLASSICAL uoTHG,T

Radio's branding boosts classicEurope's classical radiostations reach a broadaudience, many of whomare "casual" listeners tothe genre as opposed to"serious" aficionados.Spotting a gap, classicalbroadcasters have creat-ed a significant bridge-head in the classical CDmarket by combining theirstrong branding withestablished label know-how. Terry Berne reports onthe radio -linked labelswhich are helping to stemthe overall decline in clas-sical sales.

n October of 1997 Classic FM, theU.K. national commercial stationwhich has successfully broughtclassical music to a broad radioaudience, took a giant leap into

the classical retail marketplace withits midprice label the Full Works. TheFull Works is a joint venture withBMG Conifer. As its name implies,the label features new recordin0 offull length works from the core andpopular classics.

The venture represents a newand-in the context of the stagnatingclassical market-daring attempt tofill a perceived hollow in the highlycompetitive retail arena. It dependsto a large extent on the drawingpower of Classic FM's strong brandidentity, coupled with BMG Conifer'smarketing expertise.

Robert O'Dowd, Classic FM'senterprise director, recalls: "Abouttwo years ago we began thinkingabout how we could expand our labelactivity, because we had reached afairly dominant level in the compila-tion area. Our research suggestedthat there was a huge gap in the mar-ketplace, because the consumers wewere trying to reach were feelingintimidated by the retail environ-ment. They were looking for a way;one they could relate to."

Tested radio/label formulaAmong the many strategies Europeancommercial classical radio stationshave employed to increase both theirstations' profiles and their revenues,the release of "branded" CDs, often inconjunction with major labels, hasbeen one of the most popular. TheseCDs, however, are nearly always com-pilations derived from cataloguematerial, and are built around clearlydelineated themes such as music froma specific period, genre or composer.They are generally aimed at the casu-al, non -specialist consumer and aremarketed, promoted and priced toattract as broad a demographic aspossible. Normally budget or mid -priced, they are often found not onlyat record stores, but in supermarketsand department stores as well.

Their target audience, like that ofthe stations themselves, is one whichenjoys accessible, tuneful classicalfare demanding neither too mucheffort nor too much time to assimi-late. This explains the sales success ofmany of these carefully compiled andpromoted collections, usually limitedto shorter pieces or brief excerptsfrom longer works.

The formula has worked for sta-tions such as Sinfo Radio in Spain,Klassik Radio in Germany andClassic FM itself.

New initiativesSinfo Radio, part of giant radio groupSER, has participated in the promo-tion of several compilations of thiskind, their logo appearing on albumsfrom RCA (Classical Navigator); fromVanguard (Maestros De La Musica, a

didactic album which included a CD-ROM as well); from EMI (The Best OfGregorian Chant, featuring themonks of the Silos Monastery, whoseChant album was a worldwide phe-nomenon in 1993); and from Sony (anedition featuring conductor BrunoWalter). Other promotional projectswith major labels included the stationlogo only in the print advertising forthe products.

Germany's Klassik Radio, whichreaches most of the country's mainmetropolitan areas via both terrestri-al frequencies and cable, has nowstepped up its activity in this area.Until recently the station took a gen-

"Classic FM hadbeen very successfulin building up anaudience of nearlyfive million listeners,during a time whensales of completeworks in the U.K.

were in decline"Richard Dinnadge,

director, BMG Conifer

erally passive role, responding tooffers from labels and compilationmerchandisers, and sharing only inthe promotional aspect of the brandedcollections. Now it has taken the ini-tiative in its long history of suchreleases, which number some 50titles.

The station boasts two distinctproduct lines. On the one hand, itoriginates projects in conjunctionwith the local Sony affiliate, whichare sold at record stores throughoutthe country. So far 3 CDs in the seriesKuschel Klassiks have appeared. Thestation also produces its own CDs in ajoint venture with classical indieCPO, promoted exclusively on the airfor sale to Klassik Radio listeners viadirect order.

A recent example is a five -CDChristmas classics box which sold forDM99 (euro 50), for which the stationearned 50 percent of the net price.

Classic FM's first incursions intothe field were in partnership withEMI. Then, five years ago the stationcreated its own compilation label, andhas since carved out a sizeable pieceof the U.K. classical compilation mar-ket. Average sales are 10,000 to15,000 units, though their best-sell-ing title, Hall Of Fame, surpassed100,000.

Branching outThe common denominator amongthese releases by different stations indifferent territories, apart from thesuccessful leveraging and promotionof their specific station brands, is thatvirtually all of them depend on theshort attention span of their intendedaudience as a selling point. Classicalmusic's typically extended, multi -movement forms-such as the concer-to, the symphony or the oratorio-remain the province of more special-ist aficionados.

Or so the theory goes. The launchjust over a year ago of the Full Worksis well on the way to proving that par-ticular theory shortsighted. The labelis intended to encourage Classic FMlisteners and first-time classical con-sumers to take the chance, based onClassic FM's reputation and endorse-ment, on buying not another compila-tion or concept album, but a full-length recording of a major popularclassical work.

It was the unprecedented successof Classic FM, launched in 1992 andcurrently enjoying a reach of nearlyfive million listeners a week, whichprompted both the station itself andBMG Conifer to ponder the apparentcontradiction between the station'sperformance and the classical mar-ket's downturn in CD sales.

BMG Conifer director RichardDinnadge explains: "The idea for thelabel came from identifying a gap inthe market. Classic FM had been verysuccessful in building up an audienceof nearly five million listeners, duringa time when sales of complete worksin the U.K. were in decline. So therewas a large latent market of predom-inantly compilation buyers, many ofwhom our research identified as atleast willing to consider buying com-plete works. So," continues Dinnadge,"we approached Classic FM and said`you're the major U.K. classical mediaplayer, you own a means of promo-tion, apart from anything else, andwe're experts at making and market-ing records.' "

New market nicheThey soon formed a 50/50 joint ven-ture with the objective of growing themarket for full-length classical works.From the beginning it was clear itshould be a midprice line, and thelabel is perceived by both partners asaddressing a different market fromeither full -price or budget. SaysDinnadge: "We didn't want to positionourselves as a budget line. We didn'teven want to position ourselves as a


CLASSICAL SPOILIGHT

al label venturesmidprice line. Our research showedthat there was a perception amongconsumers that budget lines are nothigh quality recordings. The pricepoint of the Full Works reflects thosesuspicions. Consumers had greatrespect for the Classic FM brand, andthey would expect good value formoney. We actually wanted to offerfull price, new recordings at a compet-itive price-E10 (euro 14). Which iswhat we've done."

Tony Shaw, buyer for the HMVchain, is not so certain. "The £9.99price point seems almost redundant tosome dealers," he says, when com-pared to budget lines such as Naxos at£4.99 (euro 7) or HMV's budget line at£5.99 (euro 9), though the latter is atleast a catalogue imprint. "The resultshave been somewhat disappointingcompared to expectations," adds Shaw."One -offs like Hall Of Fame or ClassicRomance have been very successfulusing the Classic FM branding."

Virgin Retail classical productmanager Terry Holmes reports thatthe series has been reasonably suc-cessful over the long term, with moretitles performing well than poorly."They have done well as catalogueitems, justifying their position in therange on an ongoing basis. There areother very strong midprice series anda great deal of competition," heexplains. As to how the Classic FMimprimatur affects sales, he says:"Whether or not their relative successis due to a specific response to thebrand or because they are main-stream recordings that look like qual-ity products and sell at midprice, isthe great unknown."

Significant market impactThe February 1999 release of excerptsfrom Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet,played by the Royal PhilharmonicOrchestra, directed by Italian conduc-tor Daniele Gatti, will be the first FullWorks album chosen by retail chainVirgin as a "Recommended Title" inall stores.

According to Dinnadge, the series,now at 36 titles, managed to capturenearly 10 percent of the U.K. midpricemarket just a year after its launch."The classical market tends to bequite well segmented," he asserts. "Atone end are T.V.-advertised populistcompilations. At the other end are so-called 'serious' full -price recordings

attractive mainly to the specialist.The Full Works is populist, of course,"adds Dinnadge, "and the key retailersare the chains and supermarkets suchas Sainsbury's. That said, many of therecordings have received fine reviewsin the specialist press."

"Our researchsuggested therewas a huge gapin the market-place"

Classical Notesby Terry Berne

The highly dramatic and richly emotional music ofClaudio Monteverdi (1567-1643) is enjoying arevival of sorts, with Gabriel Garrido's acclaimedrecordings of Orfeo and Il Ritorno d'Ulisse In Patriaon French label K617 awakening new interest notonly in the composer's operas, but in the highlycharged issues surrounding the performance prac-

of sometimes surprising choices. FromSchubert's Trout Quintet toShostakovich's Symphony No.5; fromRodrigo's evocative Guitar Concerto tothe piano miniatures of Erik Satieand the rags of Scott Joplin.

Cooperative A&RThe Full Works' A&R agenda is decid-ed at regular meetings between theradio and label partners. The choice ofrepertoire is based to some extent onthe station's annual Hall Of Fame,compiled from the year's mostrequested pieces of music. "It's criticalthat what we're doing at the labelreflects what the station is doing,"points out Dinnadge.

Inevitably, the series will alsoreflect its British provenance, andindeed a primary mission of the labelwas to support up-and-coming Britishartists, though a quick glance at theartist roster confirms that it's certain-ly not limited by that mandate.

Having built up a critical mass ofreleases in its first year, some 12 newalbums will hit stores in 1999. Withthe series now more or less estab-lished, promotion will begin to focusmore on individual releases.

On -air promo a keyPromotional activities are diverse,including print advertising in the spe-cialist press, but also in such con-sumer magazines as GoodHousekeeping and House andGarden. In-store recitals at the likesof London prestige department storeHarrods, direct market mailings andpoint -of -sale activities all augmentthe bulk of the efforts which areaimed at the core market of ClassicFM listeners. On -air promotion is thekey tactic, with artist voiceovers foradvertisements, contests and give-away offers.

"The recordings are programmed,played and announced where appro-priate," notes Classic FM's O'Dowd."If our music department thinks thereis a particularly fine version of some-thing it may get on the playlistbecause of that, but there's no prefer-ential treatment. It's highly unlikelythat our albums will knock off theplaylist works performed by theBerlin Philharmonic or other suchclassic performances."

Summing up, Dinnadge asserts:"It's one thing to identify a latentmarket opportunity, and quite anoth-er to actually convert that into sales,to convert people into active classicalconsumers. That is ultimately goodfor the entire market."

Albumby Christian Lorenz

URBAN SPECIESBLANKET

Talkin' Loudit International release date: March 8

There is a very tight -knit R&Bscene in the U.K whose recordsnormally do not travel well. UrbanSpecies' brand of jazzy R&B is very"U.K," very much "London" even,

but the choice of guest vocalists adds a fresh elementto the album which might make it more acceptable toforeign ears. Particularly Imogen Heap, a 21 -year -oldU.K. singer more at home in alternative rock and folkthan R&B, offers a new take on how to voice an R&Btrack. Heap's vocals on Blanket and Predic-tably l Unpredictably bridge the gap between pop andsoul, and give both songs a hook which could connectwith CHR listeners. U.K national public outlet BBCRadio 1 (CHR) drivetime DJ Simon Mayo has alreadydiscovered this, and champions Blanket. U.S. soul vet-eran Terry Caller goes down a completely differentvocal route on Religion And Politics and Changing OfThe Guard, lending both songs an air of classic deepsoul which transcends all borders. Co -produced byUrban Species and much in demand disco/funk DJRaw Deal, the album pulses with warm beats and lus-cious arrangements. Blanket will be released on Feb-ruary 22 as the first single off the album (see Dancegrooves, page 7).

ALLIANCE ETHNIKFAT COMEBACKDelabelFrench release date: Jan 12European release date: tbcInternational pop star Yous-sou N'Dour and U.S. hip hopveterans Biz Markie and DeLa Soul team up with Frenchhip hop crew Alliance Ethnik for their sophomorealbum, which is co -produced by funk legend PrinceCharles Alexander. The cast alone shows how muchAlliance Ethnik have moved on since their 1995debut, Simple & Funky. Lo-fi ethos and Euro trashfunk have given way to a more ambitious concept-or,as the album title has it, a "fat" comeback. Like theirU.S. peers, Alliance Ethnik have created a complexsoundscape of skits, beats and atmospheres whichmake Fat Comeback a vivid snapshot of the here andnow. However, it is still a very French album in that ithas a distinctive smooth flavour. A virtual army ofguest vocalists stepped up to the microphone, tyingthe album in with the French and international hiphop scenes. Vinia Mojica, Djamel, Yacine, CommonSense, Rahzel and Gad Elmaleh, among others, repre-sent the French posse, while De La Soul and BizMarkie provide the transatlantic connection. De LaSoul's English vocals on Star Track and Biz Markie'sFat Come Back have obvious international potential.Among the French tracks, check out Un Enfant DoitVivre, which features N'Dour, for its crossover appeal.

BRITNEY SPEARS...BABY ONE MORE TIMEJiveProducers: Max Martin & RamiPublishers: Grantsville/Zomba

airborneWith Max Martin of Backstreet Boys, Robyn and Ace OfBase fame at the helm, it's hardly surprising that the debutsingle by this 16 -year -old from Kentwood, Louisiana didvery well in the U.S., where both the single and thealbum-also titled ...Baby One More lime-reached thetop of the Billboard singles and albums charts simultane-ously. One of the first programmers outside the U.S. torecognise the potential of the single was Nick Schulz, headof music at Swiss Hot AC station Radio Basilisk/Basle. "WhenI first heard it I was convinced that this is an excellent trackwhich suits us perfectly." he begins. "It's the Swedish con-nection all over again, where producers and writers fromthat country create hits for artists who sometimes aren'tSwedish." Schulz also points out: "We started playing itfrom December 9 last year, and the past three weekswe've featured it as a powerplay, which signifies five playsa day. We have scaled down the rotation from this weekonward, however, to abouttwo plays a week, becauseother stations are picking upon the song as well and wewant to prevent burnoutbefore it actually charts in abig way. When that hap-pens, we will probably upthe rotation again anyway.Raul Cairo

irborneThis German foursome which hailsfrom Heidelberg have taken the Ger-man, Austrian and Swiss sales andairplay charts by storm and are likelyto do so elsewhere, too. The song is a sparkling rock track with a strong hook,and the production is smooth but muscular. This makes it suitable for a host offormats ranging from rock through CHR to hot AC. One of the first program-mers outside the G/S/A territories to playlist the song (bear in mind that it hasnot been released outside the G/S/A area) is Jon Kristiansen, who doubles asprogramme director and head of music at Danish CHR station VLR/Velje. Heexplains why: "I was first exposed to the track when I watched the GermanRTL show Top Of The Pops a couple of weeks ago and was quite impressed.When we got a promo about a week ago I playlisted it straight away. It's agreat rock song," enthuses Kristiansen, "which fits our programming very well.I'm sure that, with the right promo and marketing effort, it's going to be oneof the big things across Europe this spring." Kristiansen adds: "We currentlyplay it about eight times a week, but expect that to increase sharply as thesong grows." RaCil Cairo

Talk radioby programming editor Mike McGeever

"...the time has come to change."That comment by the U.K. RadioAuthority (RA) head of programmingand advertising, Martin Campbell,seems to ring true in the commercialradio sectors of other major Europeanmarkets. Regulators are taking stepsto allow stations greater programming flexibility, and at thesame time to provide them with support to compete withpublic broadcasters.

In the U.K., the RA is phasing out stations' Promises ofPerformance (PoPs), an antiquated system enshrined in leg-islation which defines rigidly-and consequently in manycases ludicrously-how a station should be programmed,regardless of changing trends.

Broadcasters are being unshackled from the micro -man-agement of the PoPs (which often run to several pages) withwhat the regulator has termed "formats." These will allowstations to implement changes in programming, providedthey do not compromise the character of the service forwhich the licence was originally awarded.

This is good news for programmers, who'll be allowedgreater flexibility to be more creative instead of biting theirfingernails worrying that their station's monthly output ofVenusian nose flute music fell five seconds short of whatwas dictated by their PoP-drawn up years ago.

According to Campbell, the changes represent "regulat-ing by what comes out of the radio speaker, and commonsense, rather than regulating by calculator."

Also under the new regime, licence applicants won't haveto waste time detailing to the RA the peripheral elements ofprogramming to which little importance is attached.

However, it would be dangerous for stations to takeunfair advantage of this new flexibility. The core music pro-gramming for which the station was originally licensedmust be maintained or, even better, enhanced.

In another major market, Germany, action to assist com-mercial stations is a bit more dramatic. North Rhine-West-phalia commercial radio regulator LfR is setting up a taskforce of consultants to tackle programming problems, helpcommercial stations compete better against the state broad-casters such as the hugely successful Eins Live (CHR)and-hopefully-win listeners (Music & Media Jan. 23).

Commercial radio in Germany is a young industry. Inmany cases its programming is too broad and target audi-ences are not clearly identified. Markets there must beexamined and researched, and concise conclusions reachedon how to effectively programme stations. The aim of thetask force-funded by the local commercial stations-is todraw up programming strategies for the stations which willlead to specific music formats. This should be welcomed bythe record companies.

LfR's actions should not be viewed as hand -holding. Thestations concerned are funding the task force and see it as aserious investment, particularly if they want the industry toflourish and attract serious major radio players to the party.

AIRPLAY

On the airwet'/ l rphay' analLIs col 11 m

This week the strongest impact on the EuropeanRadio Top 50 comes from follow-ups to last year'sbig hits.

Many international artists make a showing inthis week's airplay chart with two records. Forinstance, George Michael's Outside is still in-at49-after 20 weeks, while his new track, As (bothEpic), strides with seven league boots from 48 to12. This duet with Mary J Blige is this week'sGreatest Chart Points Gainer with 28 additions,mainly in the U.K. and Denmark. Madonna alsohas two records on the chart: The Power Of Good -Bye (Maverick) is still at number 7, while thefourth single from her highly successful Ray OfLight album sees the light at number 36: NothingReally Matters (Maverick) is enjoying earlyattention in the U.K. and Denmark.

It's almost the same story for Cher, who isstill at number 5 this week with Believe, while

her new song, StrongEnough (both WEA),makes a powerful newentry-this week's high-est-at number 19.Scandinavia, where it isalready number 4 asthe Major MarketAirplay section shows,seems to have aspecially strong beliefin it. But elsewhere the

song is also gaining converts. Oto Tache,programme director at Slovak AC station TOPRadio/Kosice is programming it because:"Personally, I think it has more emotion in itthan the totally commercial Believe." Two weeksago TOP Radio dedicated a weekend to thehistory of Cher, programming special shows incooperation with the local Warner outlet. SaysTache: "We received some good reactions frompeople who were pleased to hear a little more in-depth information on the radio."

TOP Radio, which plays international musicalalmost exclusively, is able to present theEuropean hits early because the stationsubscribes to the Eurochart radio show producedby Unique Broadcasting and based on M&M'sEurochart Top 100 Singles chart. In Slovakia,however, regulation demands that at least 10percent of the music output has to be of Slovakorigin. So Tache plays regional artists such asI.M.T. Smile (indie music) and No Name (softrock). He notes that "although their names maysound English, they sing in Slovak."

Back to the chart, Swedish chanteuse JenniferBrown enters at 39 with the easy -to -programmeTuesday Afternoon (Arista). Also new, at 46, isElton John, who teams up with LeAnn Rimes forWritten In The Stars (Rocket/Mercury). The songfrom the adaptation of the opera Alda isentertaining AC radio across Europe, especiallyin the U.K. and Switzerland. And at the verybottom end of the list, Ace Of Base appear withtheir Motown pastiche Always Have, Always Will(Mega/Polydor). The record, which was first a hitin the U.K., is now receiving greatest support inDenmark, and in Poland where it is alreadynumber two in the regional list.

Finally, bubbling under this week are: JoiningYou by Alanis Morissette (Maverick/Warner),Sober by Jennifer Paige (Edel), You Should Be...by Blockster (Sound Of Ministry), Boy You KnockMe Out by Tatyani Ali featuring Will Smith(MJJ/Epic) and One Week by Barenaked Ladies(Reprise). Menno Visser

Commercial stations retain lead in latest RAJARby Mike McGeever

LONDON - U.K. commercial radiocontinues to maintain its slight edgeover BBC Radio, despite the publicbroadcaster's ongoing cross -promo-tion activity on its TV networks.

According to the official RAJARrating results for the fourth quarterof 1998, commercial radio's overallshare of U.K. listening was 49.3 per-cent, compared to the BBC's 48.5 per-cent. Although commercial radio'sshare dropped 0.8 percent on the pre-vious quarter, it remains marketleader for two years running, accord-ing RAJAR.

BBC Radio l's move to more main-stream music daytime programming

continues to pay divedends for thepublic broadcaster, as the CHR net-work's share of national listeningclimbed to 10.6 percent during theSeptember 21 -December 20 1998 sur-vey period, compared to 10.5 percentin the previous quarter. The figure is asignificant improvement on Radio l's9.9 percent showing the previous year.

Anchoring commercial radio'saudience success in the previous (Q3'98) survey had been national stationClassic FM, which continues to gofrom strength to strength (see ratingstable), in spite of being a target forBBC TV's promotion of rival clasicalnetwork BBC Radio 3.

19.5 percent.In London, the controversial pro-

gramming changes implemented at104.9 Xfm by its new owners CapitalRadio haven't made an impact -thealternative rock station's share of lis-tening fell to 0.6 percent from 0.9percent in the previous quarter.

Xfm will roll out a new pro-gramme schedule on February 15,following the departures of and pro-gramme director Des Shaw and dri-vetime presenter Bob Geldof. Shawhad been on secondment to Xfm fromGeldofs production company Planet24 following Capital's take-over ofthe station last year, while formerBoomtown Rat Geldofs much -publi-cised "104.9 days" at the station werecompleted on February 5. Capitalgroup head of programming, CliveDickens, will be overseeing the pro-gramming changes.

Capital's othertwo London ser-vices also lost mar-ket share, withCHR station 95.8Capital FM downfrom 16.6 percent to15.5 percent quar-ter -on -quarter, andoldies station Capi-tal Gold down mar-ginally (from 4.4percent to 4.3 percent). However,Capital FM's veteran breakfast showpresenter Chris Tarrant continues topile on listeners -he's now beingheard by just under two million lis-teners per week.

It was a lacklustre RAJAR sweepin general for most commercial musicservices in the capital, with Heart106.2 (AC), Virgin 105.8 FM (rock),Kiss 100 FM (dance) and Jazz FM alllosing audience share. Bucking thattrend was Emap's soft AC Magic105.4, the station formerly known asMelody FM, whose share has nowovertaken Heart 106.2's, increasingfrom 5.2 percent to 5.8 percent.

Spanish label boss gets bailby Gary Smith

BARCELONA - Max Music presidentMiguel Dega has been released onPta5 million (euro 30,000) bail, fol-lowing five months in prison accusedof kidnapping with menaces.

No date has yet been fixed forDega's trial, but it is expected totake place before the summer.Dega is accused of "inducement toillegally detain and threaten"Ricardo Campoy, with whom hefounded the Barcelona -baseddance indie (M&M, September 261998). Alternative charges againstDega of conspiracy to murderCampoy were previously ruled outby a Barcelona court.

Following its president's arrestand subsequent imprisonment, MaxMusic has suspended all paymentsto creditors, although the companyis still trading. Many of MaxMusic's top management left the

company following Dega's arrestlast year, and have formed a newdance label called Tempo Music.

Tempo, which started tradingjust before Christmas with threeproducts from Max Music's cata-logue, has now received its licencefrom Spanish authors' body SGAEto produce sound -carriers.

"When we left Max Music,Miguel Dega asked us to take careof the distribution of some of hisproducts because what was left ofMax was unable to do the job prop-erly," explains Tempo Music presi-dent Alfredo Picallo. "Although weare keen to stress our abhorrenceof the situation between Dega andCampoy, we had no licence to pro-duce records. Despite the potentialstigma, those [former Max Music]releases allowed Tempo to get offthe ground."

Tempo's priority in the first halfyear is to build a broad roster

which will include pop and salsaacts alongside the former MaxMusic staples of house and garage."Our main strength as a team hasalways been in our marketingskills," says Picallo, "so we're keento work with companies that wantto take advantage of our knowl-edge of the local market."

First single releases from Tem-po include Robbie Revera's It'sMidnight and PM Network's GetUp from Miami -based SFP, plusBurnin' Up by Cevin Fisher fea-turing Loleatta Holloway (Subver-sive) and I Believe by Jamestownfeaturing Jocelyn Brown (Playola).

First album releases are twocompilations, El Que Mes Trenca(a collaboration with Barcelonadance station Flash FM) and Hym-nos De La Fiesta. The as yet unti-tled debut album by Mario, dueout in March, will be Tempo's firstsingle -artist project.

Universal sorts out the south

staffing and artist rosters, with fur-ther changes expected to beannounced by the end of this month."We will be making staffing adjust-ments, but there will be no blood-bath," says UMGI president Piero LaFake. "Our aim is to create a slim -line, agile operation that can reactquickly and efficiently to markettrends, and will be able to expandItaly's relatively small music mar-ket."

The first cuts set to be made by LaFalce will come in the creation of amerged distribution operation basedat PolyGram's distribution head-quarters at Cinisello Balsamo, on theoutskirts of Milan.

La Fake confirmed that there willalso be a "rationalisation" of Poly -Gram's roster of 42 local artists, withup to a dozen acts likely to be shed.'We need to give a smaller roster ofartists the support they need," saysLa Fake. The future of Mercury's"alternative" Italian imprint Black-out, responsible for breaking trendacts such as Casino Royale and Nef-fa, is also under review.

PolyGram's offices in Via Tenca,Milan and Universal's current officesin Corso Matteotti, Milan will bereplaced by a new central Milan loca-

tion, which is being sought to houseall of UMGI's label operations byAugust 1999.

In Spain, it has been decided thatthe merged company will be calledUniversal Music Espana (UME), notUniversal Music Iberia as was previ-ously announced in December. UMEwill comprise three divisions-Mer-cury, Polydor and Universal-effec-tively the same structure as whenthe companies were separate.

In charge of Mercury in Spain(which will now incorporate Islandand Def Jam) will be Walter Kolm,currently director general of Univer-sal Music Argentina. Heading upPolydor will be Alicia Arauzo, for-merly international marketing direc-tor of Universal Music Hispania. Shewill have additional U.S. product ather disposal with the move into Poly-dor of Interscope, Geffen and Dream -Works. Polydor will also create a newlabel, UMG Soundtracks, to handleUniversal Music Group's worldwidesoundtracks catalogue.

The director of UME's Universaldivision (whose labels will includeMCA, Universal and Motown) willbe Jose Luis Rodriguez, until nowdirector of Polydor Spain. Rodriguezwill also maintain a position as head

continued from page 1

of local product at Polydor Spain, andwill be responsible for new Polydorartists. Melchor Hidalgo will contin-ue as director of UME's classicalmusic division, Clasico.

UME president Jesus Lopez, pre-viously the Miami -based senior VPat Universal Music Group LatinAmerica, says of the new company'stasks: "Our primary objective is toincrease our presence in local prod-uct, in addition to giving a greaterservice to international repertoirefrom North America and Europe."

Universal Music Portugal, alsounder the control of Lopez, will groupits current MCA and Universalrepertoires under a newPolydor/MCA division, with Brazil-ian and other Latin American reper-toires combined under a new Mer-cury banner. National repertoire willbe split between the two divisions.

Joao Migue Almeida (marketingmanager) and David Benaulin(product manager) will run Mer-cury Portugal from Lisbon, whilePolydor/MCA's senior figures willbe marketing manager GabrielaCarrilho, and Helena Pedro asproduct manager. Jorge Sa Gou-veia takes charge of classical andjazz at Mercury.

Radio warms to housecontinued from page 1

sel's Van Biesen agrees that "thevocals make it easier to integrate itinto a traditional pop playlist."

Van Heiden himself admits that"the vocal is what makes the track.A lot of people feel the record emo-tionally on the dance floor and that'sbecause the vocal carries it."

Of the story behind You Don'tKnow Me, Van Helden remarks: "Ilove R&B music. That record is nodifferent from an American R&Btrack-it just happens to be a houserecord. It's a perfect combination.It's basically a two -bar loop, beatsthat you've heard before, and a discoloop from the '70s, no different froma Bad Boy record or Puffy or Jay -Z."

Meanwhile, Flowerz, anothervocal track from Van Helden's asyet unnamed studio album (due tobe released in March), is takingEurope's dancefloors by storm via abootleg issued by Van Heiden him-self. With vocals by Urban Soul'sRoland Clark and a very minimal-ist mix which owes more to theclassic disco soundscapes of WalterGibbons than to '90s gimmickry,Flowerz "is a natural follow up" toYou Don't Know Me, according toffrr's Howells. Immediate demandfor the cut is being met by a firstpressing of 10,000 white label 12 -inch "bootlegs."

"Eventually we will issue an 'offi-cial' promo 12 -inch of Flowerz,"explains Howells. 'We'll work YouDon't Know Me until it falls off thecharts, then we will take Flowerz toradio. Our aim is to get people to buyArmand's album. [A hit like] YouDon't Know Me makes people listento house albums. It took a good threeyears for the market to warm up tohip hop albums, to accept them as awork of art in their own right, notjust a collection of singles. I believethat house albums will achieve thatstatus as well."

With his album in the can, VanHelden is already scanning thehorizon for the next big thing."The sampling of old disco recordsis already getting tired," he notes."You'll see a move towards tracksfrom the '80s and more obscurerecords, like maybe Culture Clubor other stuff that was alwayscorny but had some funkiness init. I think that's going to be thenext trend."

Digital becomes Clear for Virgin, Talk

TalkCo., owners of national speechstation Talk Radio, and the GingerMedia Group, owners of nationalrock station Virgin Radio.

Roger Parry, CEO of London -based Clear Channel Internation-al, says his company will supplythe required "innovation and ener-gy" to the yet -to -be -named compa-ny, while Talk and Ginger "areideally placed to make this excit-ing new medium work."

Last year, both Talk and Gingerwithdrew as shareholders of Digi-tal One, a consortium which-asthe sole bidder-was subsequently

awarded the national radio multi-plex licence advertised by U.K.regulator the Radio Authority(RA). Ginger pulled out following a"disagreement" with other mem-bers of the GWR Group -led consor-tium, while Talk Radio partedcompany with Digital One follow-ing its sale to Kelvin MacKenzie'sTalkCo. by CLT-UFA.

However, as a result of theterms and conditions of the nation-al multiplex licence previously setout by the RA, both Virgin Radioand Talk Radio (as existing nation-al analogue broadcasters) have

always been guaranteed frequen-cies on the national multiplex.

Following their decision to bidfor the RA licences to operate theregional digital multiplexes, Gin-ger and Talk both deny that theyhave had a change of heart aboutthe viability of digital radio. Gin-ger CEO David Campbell com-ments: "The Clear Channel/TalkRadio Alliance is a strong one,bringing new investors. We havealways been enthusiastic aboutdigital radio's potential."

TalkCo. development directorJason Bryant explains that since

continued from page 1

Talk Radio was set to be only a 10percent shareholder in Digital One,its influence would not have been asgreat as TalkCo. would have liked. "Ifwe had had 33 percent, it might havebeen a different matter," he says."But 10 percent is a small voice. Sowe took a very simplistic decision,based on where we could best allo-cate those resources, and then decid-ed to work with strong strategic part-ners at a regional level."

In a statement, TalkCo. chairmanand CEO Kelvin MacKenzie refers toClear Channel as a "significant newinvestor to British radio."
