TOUCH REACHES OUT: Several years after moving its Touch format out of the R &B oldies business, Satellite Music Network is getting back in with a new, yet - unnamed urban oldies format set to debut on Oct. 1. Full details, page 6.

COUNTRY ON ICE: While the WPRO /WLKW /WWLI Providence RI, duopoly merger has been the one getting all the attention, there's another unusual story taking place in town where two AMs have engaged in their second format swap in as many years. CNN Headline News outlet WWRX East Providence, now under new ownership, has dumped those calls and gone back to its old calls, WHIM, and format, country. Meanwhile, WICE Pawtucket --which switched from news -talk to country when WHIM left the first time --is now doing a mixture of sports and talk again and may pick up Headline News, depending on who you ask. This week's full format details follow:

WASHINGTON THIS WEEK

Stokes Communications Corporation, licensee of WWWT Randolph VT had their nighttime power stoked up a little too high --1000 w, when they were supposed to be 66 w. The Commission caught wind of it, and fined them $20,000 this week.

Mid -Coast Radio Project's KKFI Kansas City got hit for $2,500 after a former employee asked to see the public file, and wasn't given access.

The Commission also denied David Price reconsideration of an order revoking his license for WOKJ and assessing an $8,000 forfeiture for no tower lights.

ELSEWHERE

Several years after its urban AC :vrmat, Heart & Soul, backed away from R &H oldies and was renamed the Touch, ABC /SMN has announced that it will roll out a new R &B gold format effective October 1. The yet unnamed format will be SMN's 11th full - time offering.

It was a busy week for Capstar --not the friendly ghost, but the company that made duopoly a household word. Capstar closed on its acquisition of WMYI Henderson NC (Greenville SC market), now teamed with its WSSL- AM -FM. Both stations are now in

the WSSL studios temporarily; both are expected to move back to WMYI's site. And in Jackson MS, Capstar now has a sales only agreement with WKTF (formerly WKQB) in

addition to its existing WMSI /WJDX FM duopoly.

Former Cook -Inlet head honcho Dan Mason will take over as president of Group W Radio effective 6/1 replacing Jim Thompson.

At Arbitron, Ken Wollenberg, exec VP /sales and marketing, is out and his position has been eliminated, according to a company statement. Wollenberg's duties will be absorbed by president Steve Morris. In other Arbitron news, WMMQ Charlotte MI (Lansing), has been hit with a page 5(B) note for ratings bias. And the firm has announced that it will start using the term "station name" in its surveys to replace the not -very -vernacular- sounding "slogan ID."

The National Radio Systems Committee has voted to begin voluntary standard- setting for in -band Digital Audio Broadcasting systems. Its new DAB Subcommittee will be chaired by ABC's Al Resnick and Delco's Randall Brunts. It met for the first time May 3 and will meet again May 18.

Jones Satellite Network and Sports Entertainment Network have broken off negotiations. Jones had been investigating the purchase of SEN for several months. In a release, "the parties stated that they were not able to reach agreement on final terms."

Following the success of its series of advertiser calls in the Los Angeles area last fall, the Radio Advertising Bureau has announced that, at its May 17 board meeting in Detroit, it will again send its board members out to meet with advertisers including the major auto companies. Also, the RAB has mailed 4,000 - plus copies of its new 1993 -94 Radio Marketing Guide and Fact Book for Advertisers to advertisers and its member radio stations. For more info, call 212 -254 -4800.

Longtime Dallas radio personality and station owner Ken Dowe is now the host of

USA Radio Network's new morning news and interview program, "Ken Dowe's Morning Magazine." For more info, call Al Ross at 800 -829 -8111.

ST. LOUIS BLUES: WKBQ St. Louis morning team Steve & D.C. are still on the air at that station despite an extended series of racially loaded comments. This despite the fact that WKBQ's duopoly partner is urban KXOK- AM -FM. Details in our news section on page 6.

WHAT ABOUT BOB? After months of speculation, the folks at Colfax Communications went for the obvious Twin Cities hole for their new WBOB -FM, the former WCTS -FM. Taking a page from the success of WBUB (Bubba 107) Charleston, S.C., the station will now be known as "Bob 100 FM, New Country" and will also use the slogan "Turn Your Knob To Bob." Broadcast Programming's Jay Albright and Critical Mass Media will consult. Here's the rest of this week's format news:

WASHINGTON THIS WEEK KLOL Houston has been fined $33,750 by the FCC for a 1991 morning show broadcast on penis size. The fine is against former owners Rusk Broadcasting whose sale of the station to Evergreen can now be approved. One thing you will want to note. In the letter to Rusk, they did footnote the fact that "the passage concerning lactating or pregnant women...does not warrant further action."

The FCC came out of its April 29 meetiry on the expanded AM band tvith very few changes, according to an NAB memo, rejecting proposals that it relax its nighttime interference criteria, reserve the 1600 -1700 band for minorities, set AM receiver standards, or assign specific channels for travel information AMs.

The NAB has lashed out at a Clinton administration political ad reform proposal, calling it "politicians using a perceived public concern to guarantee themselves additional benefits." The proposal would give Senate candidates vouchers for 50 %- off ads at radio and TV. It would also give House candidates vouchers, although not a reduced rate, and demand that stations give third -party political ads free air -time.

The Commission upheld its decision to impose a $20,000 fine to Group Six Communications, former licensee of WWOC Avalon NJ for EEO violations. The Commission also denied their petition for reconsideration.

DAKK, Inc. and Edwin A. Bernstein have lost their appeals concerning five mutually exclusive applications for a new FM on 96.1 MHz in Center Moriches (Long Island), NY. Zenitram Communications, Inc. was also denied a review of the dismissal of its application for 105.5 MHz in Brockport, NY.

Two mutually exclusive applications have been designated for hearing in Richwood, OH for a new FM on 104.3 MHz. Two applications have also been designated for hearing for educational FM's in Bryan or College Station TX --89.9 MHz and 89.7 MHz, respectively. Two applicants for a new FM on 102.5 MHz in Arkansas City, KS will go to a hearing, as well.

Toccoa Falls College, requesting 88.5 MHz in Belton SC and Nazareth Communications, requesting 83.3 MHz in Williamston SC will see each other in the hearing room soon.

The Commission has affirmed a review board decision which granted the application of Foothills Broadcasting, Inc. for a new FM station on 103.3 MHz in Lenoir NC and disqualified the application of Maria Ochoa.

ELSEWHERE .

R &R reports that WKBQ St. Louis morning team Steve Shannon & D.C. Chymes are still on the air despite an on -air incident that began with a tirade about the lack of attention paid to "white history" and led to the team telling an offended caller, "You're acting as if you're a n - --r." Local press reports suggest that GM Michael Frischling had asked the pair not to use the N -word but had otherwise been aware that the bit was planned, which is particularly disturbing in that WKBQ's duopoly partner is urban /AC KXOK- AM -FM. Wonder what the mood is like in the halls at that station this week?




ELSEWHERE (cont'd)

Nashville -based performing rights organization SESAC has teamed up with Billboard's Broadcast Data Systems monitoring service for a new "per play" music licensing system so that stations can pay only for single servings of SESAC product as opposed to blanket or per -program licenses.

Sale price for WAJC was $7- million ... Keymarket is purchasing WSPD /WLQR and crosstown WVKS Toledo to form a duopoly. Elsewhere in the glass city, WRQN is now moved in with crosstown WTOD /WKKO despite the fact that WTOD has an LMA partner of its own in WRED ...

WTKW Bridgeport (Syracuse) N.Y., has filed a petition against the WSYR /WYYY /WKFM duopoly claiming that the books that allow it to avoid the 25% share cap are. "anomalies."

Freudian slip of the week: Following the live broadcast from Havana by Pierre Wolf, host of Business Radio Network's show, "America's Dining & Travel Guide," BRN put out a press release declaring this "the first liver radio broadcast in over thirty years from the communist nation." Unfortunately, the bold inter- cultural experiment ended in tragedy when the angry Cubans refused to eat their liver, no matter how nicely Pierre arranged it on the plate or even if he allowed them to chew it with plantain at the same time.

ST. LOUIS BLUES, PT. II: According to the St. Louis Post Dispatch, morning men Steve Shannon & D.C. Chymes are finally out at top 40 WKBQ Granite City (St. Louis) which is also suing the pair for $50,000 in lost revenue. As of press -time last week, the station was standing behind the duo despite its reference to a black listener as a "nigger" and its suggestion that Jesse Jackson be assassinated. Several days later, however, the pair were finally suspended. As for our own question about the mood in the halls at WKBQ's sister urban AC outlet KXOK- AM -FM, locals say the jocks on that station have been campaigning on -air for listeners to call and urge that WKBQ's morning team be ousted. The rest of this week's news begins on page 7.

THE LAST HOLDOUT? Years ago, when the station we know now as KKSF was still KSFX, San Francisco was the market that consultant Fred Jacobs had in mind as the pilot market for classic rock. But KSFX went news /talk on FM, then AC, then NAC and the only time the Bay Area really got a classic rocker --aside from San Jose's KUFX (Gilroy) --was when KFOG, now an adult progressive outlet, put a few toes in the water several years ago. Now, album outlet KRQR has made the move to classic rock. In other format news this week, WYHY Lebanon TN (Nashville), which moved to full blown rock -40 a few weeks ago, has readded some black product, although it maintains a strong rock lean. Full format info for the week follows.

WASHINGTON THIS WEEK The FCC has upheld its $6,000 fine against Infinity's WXRK New York /WYSP Philadelphia /WJFK -FM Manassas VA (Washington DC), for the now legendary Howard Stern 1988 Christmas party show. The stations have one more appeal to the FCC before having to go to court a -la WLUP (AM) Chicago.

Meanwhile, R&R reports that D.C. federal judge Royce Lambert has thrown out the industry coalition lawsuit that sought to immobilize the FCC's indecency crusade. Lambert declared that broadcasters "serve at the pleasure of the public interest" and do not have full First Amendment rights.

The NAB, along with CBS and the news directors' association RTNDA have filed a U.S. Appeals Court brief asking the court not to reinstate the Fairness Doctrine and not to remand the case in which it is considered -- Arkansas AFL -CIO v. FCC --to the FCC itself.

ELSEWHERE

Unistar Radio Networks has realigned its two adult networks, Super and Ultimate. Super will now be made up of Unistar 24 -hour music format clients. Ultimate will become CNN Plus --a 1053 affiliate national news network encompassing CNN Headline News, CNN Radio News, and Unistar Radio News affiliates.

The Radio Advertising Bureau has announced that it will team up with the National Infomercial Marketing Assn. (NIMA) to create self -regulatory marketing guidelines for radio infomercials. The two bodies will also "arrange a series of meetings between product marketers and radio broadcasters to explore the opportunities (of] direct response programming on radio. Also, congrats to RAB director of communications Laura Morandin who becomes VP /communications this week making her the youngest VP in RAB history.

In this week's duopoly news:

* WBBF /WBEE -FM Rochester, NY, owner Heritage has entered into an LMA -to -buy with oldies rival WKLX.

* WSSX -FM Charleston, SC, is in the process of being sold to crosstown WSUY, despite the fact that both stations have duopolies of their own.

WASHINGTON THIS WEEK The sale of WJMO -AM -FM Cleveland Heights OH to Zebra Communications has been approved by the FCC, several months after local minority lobbies had filed a petition to deny. Zebra is owned by Lynn Tolliver and Bobby Rush from white -owned crosstown WZAK Cleveland; critics had charged that the two were being used as a front for a white -owned station's duopoly efforts.

The Commission was in denial this week. Here's the review board decisions:

- -Denied Beth Knight reconsideration of the dismissal of her application for a new FM on 93.7 MHz in Sebastopol CA.

- -Denied an application for review filed by Crystal Clear Communications, Inc. seeking reconsideration of the dismissal of its application for a new FM on 95.9 MHz in Seelyville IN.

- -Denied application by the State of Oregon's Board of Higher Education seeking reconsideration of a Mass Media Bureau action returning as untimely filed its application for a new educational FM on 88.9 MHz in Redding CA.

-- Denied approval of a settlement agreement in the proceeding involving five mutually exclusive applications for a new FM on 94.7 MHz in Gifford FL.

The Commission upheld a Review Board decision which granted the application of Luipold Broadcasting, Inc. for a new FM on 96.1 MHz in Huron OH and denied the competing applications of Great Lake Broadcasting, Inc.; NCB Enterprises, Inc.; and Huron Communications Company, L.P.

Tichenor Media Systems VP /operations Ricardo DelCastillo has been elected to the NAB's radio board of directors.
