interesting things on his mind, ClaudeHall asked for thoughts on records,radio and promotion.

KEN BUTTICE: The single is nolonger what it used to be. With thestrength of Country radio, with thestrength of R&B and Disco records,with the strength of the album sale,everything is getting meshed to thepoint where single sales are diminish-ing, and it's interesting because radioseems to be in a slight state of flux andthe record company really doesn'tknow because what used to be a millionselling single now is somewhere arounda half a million or 600,000.

We're selling a lot of albums, and the

reason for it - I mean, take forinstance The Cars. We just wentplatinum on the album. We're a millionunits on the album, and now we've hadtwo top thirty singles. We can't breakthrough with that monstrous single,we sell 400,000 singles, we sell 600,000singles, and in Detroit right now wehave a number -six record with TheCars, and we have a number -onealbum. But the single sales around thecountry are just at a stabilizing pointright now where they're not mon-strous, but they're steady. And radiohas always had that tendency to lookfor that monster single. They want toadd top ten records. If a record doesn't

naturally

$6,000 Fine For WOOKWASHINGTON - WOOK-FM,

owned by United Broadcasting, may befined $6,000 by the Federal Communi-cations Commission for a "Black BookContest" featured in 1978. The radiostation asked listeners on the air tophone in their name and the names ofthree friends. WOOK-FM called these;if they were listening to the station,they got a prize. The station failed tomention the prizes on the air andclaimed winners were told the prizeson the phone.

The FCC claims that announcements

also said that winners in the "BlackBook Contest" were qualified to win inother station contests during the year.However, announcements for a "Thou-sand Dollar Dial Contest" specifiedthat phone calls would be to theWashington area, thus eliminatinglisteners in suburban Virginia.

The FCC said that United violatedSection 73.1216 of the Rules aboutradio stations having to "disclosematerial terms of a contest and that nocontest description shall be false, mis-leading, or deceptive."

WEBC To The Rescue!DULUTH, MN - It's not too often

that a radio station will drop its formatand restrictions to come to the aid of afamily in need, but WEBC didn'thesitate for a moment when they heardthe plight of the Kline family.

David Kline was cutting firewoodwhen his chain saw slipped and caughthim in the face. While the family wasvisiting him at the hospital, theirsupper club and home (which waslocated above the club) burned down,destroying everything the familyowned.

Scott carpenter, WEBC's afternoondrive jock, heard of the family's plightand organized an on -the -air radiothon

to aid the Kline family. People called infrom as far as 100 miles away.

They soon had cartons of food andclothing stacked up at the station. A13 -year -old girl donated the cash fromher piggy -bank; people on their wayhome from work drove out of their wayto leave cash donations; a local HolidayInn donated beds; the Ski-Doo Snow-mobile gave snowsuits for the entirefamily; restaurants gave invitations fordinners, etc.

As program director Ric Morganshared, "I guess if a radio station can'tdrop the format and restrictions andlend a hand in time of need - thenwhat's it all about?"

Rated on a one to five star scale.

***** Da Ya Think I'm Sexy?By Rod Stewart [Warner Bros.]

An easy number -one record bymid -January. This is the first singlefrom his killer album, "Blondes HaveMore Fun." There are two versionsout, a short (4:16) and a full-length one(5:21).

Stations that had problems with thelyrics to "Tonight's The Night" willprobably find the lyrics to this onegentle enough, although there isenough sex in the record to keep itinteresting. Add it!

Dancin' ShoesBy the Faith Band [Mercury]

This sounds to me like the newsupergroup of the eighties has arrived.The Faith Band sounds a lot like theEagles, but not so much so that youwould think they were a rip-off.

They sing their hearts out on"Dancin' Shoes." Don't let the title foolyou; it is not a Disco song at all.December 14, 1978

The single is a tender ballad thatlooks like a sure shot to be a Top 5record.

**** This Moment In TimeBy Engelbert Humperdinck [Epic]This is Engelbert's best in many,

many years. This is not an AOR or12-34 oriented Top 40 record, but for a25+ oriented station, this is a keyrecord. It is already doing very well onmany Adult Contemporary stations.

*** SupermanBy Herbie Mann [Atlantic]

This song was out as a very"bubblegum" Disco record last year,but it stiffed nationally. In this version,Herbie has eliminated most of the"gum" sound, but it is still in thenovelty category.

With the new release of the epic"Superman" motion picture, this singleis very timely. Thus it merits strongconsideration.

Clean Up Your ActBy JIMI FOX

After all is said and done, whatreally separates a Mary Turner, TheReal Don Steele, The Ev, Dan Ingram,Dr. Don Rose, Shotgun Tom Kelly,Dave Conley and Gary Owens, alongwith others, from the general balanceof air -talent is one simple uncompli-cated and often over -looked fact: Youcould take any of the above talents,place them in an AOR format, Countryformat, Disco format, Pop -Adult for-mat, Classical format, perhaps, whoknows, even a Spanish format, andthey would still be stunning winners.

These air -talents are as different toeach other as night and day, but theyhave one ingredient common to all thatmake them "Superstars." What youask?Well it's simple - they are them-selves! They don't imitate, they orig-inate. It makes no difference whetherthey're doing Freeform radio (a rarityin this day and age), or tight limited -rap radio. Whatever the case, there isno way to destroy the air -talent's per-sonality.

I've heard Bobby Ocean read a stockone-liner and still sound as warm,human and gentle as he always has theother 150 times he read that same one-liner. I've heard Chuck Browning doingan AOR format, and sound as cos-mically effective as he does in a Top 40situation with continued simplicity andbrevity (of which he is a master).Imagine Larry Lujack doing a Beauti-ful Music format and still sounding justlike he always has - great!

I recall doing Top 40 and getting callsfrom the local AOR and Countryoutlets in the market, and being askedif I'd mind filling in for one of theirpeople who was sick. Understand, thatthey weren't understaffed, theyweren't calling me because I soundedlike everyone else, but because Isounded and communicated like me.Nobody does me better than me!Therefore, the first and most impor-tant element in being a great air -talent - be yourself!

Each and every one of us areuniquely different, and no one can beyou better than yourself. So beginningnow, if you're really serious aboutbeing a success, be yourself!

Do you drop your voice?' always geta kick out of an air -talent that will walkup to me, tilt their head forward, justslightly, push out their chest, and forcetheir perfectly normal voice downfifteen octaves with no natural inflec-tion. I try not to laugh, but it's difficultat times.

I suppose that this style of communi-cation is quite impressive to a few.However, most of us in "Radioland"December 14, 1978

JIMI FOX

have seen fire and have seen rain, andare less than impressed. So please, cutit out, you're only fooling yourself.

I have been told that if it's a fullervoice you're working on, here are twoexercises that will supposedly help:

[A] A short breathing exercise usingyour diaphragm to force short bursts ofair out.

[B) Holding a vocal note, thenmoving down the scale to the next noteuntil you reach the lowest possible noteyou can produce (without passing out),again using your diaphragm.

Repeat these several times a day,and after a few months you shouldnotice the natural fullness in yourvoice.

How about the talent who thinks he'sRich "Brother" Robbin, and beginsspeaking at the rate of something like amile a second. But because he cannotmaster what is natural to Rich Bro' orJackson Armstrong, he ends up run-ning out of breath. As his eyes startrolling around madly in his head, hisface turning purple, and by somestrange miracle avoids a cardiac arrest,he ends the sentence gasping forbreath, and grasping for anything elsein sight. Yes, he has been noticed, butbelieve me, how unimpressive.

Then there is the talent who usesover -inflection with compounded vocalexaggeration to come across on theradio. (I believe the in-house term is"puker.") This is really hysterical. Youcan't listen for very long withoutinstinctively mimicking this air -talent.Eventually, you tune him or her out orget violently ill!

Then there are those air -talents whoimproperly use their headsets. Insteadof using headsets as a reference ofwhere they are in the program formixing, they become fascinated withtheir own voice. This preoccupationwith one's voice usually has the effectof the talent badly affecting what is

already naturally perfect. I rememberat one point in my career I got caughtup in this kind of folly. Luckily it wasshort-lived when my program man-ager, Chuck Browning, walked into thestudio, unplugged my headsets, andquietly walked out with them. I fol-lowed him to his office and inquiredwhy he took my headsets. He smiled,looked at me and said, "If it's yourvoice you want to listen to, you don'tneed any headsets!"

Obviously, enough was said. I wentback on the air and a couple of dayslater the "Chucker" returned my head-sets. I then mastered their proper useas a broadcast monitoring tool.

Perhaps I've probably dwelled muchtoo long on the voice. It's only in theinterest of impressing to those of youwho are constantly critical of yourvoice, stop worrying! It's like anythingelse in life. The more you use it in itsnatural form, the better it will get.

Achieving excellent board -work is abig plus for any air -talent who operateshis own board. When beginning em-ployment at a new station, alwayspre -arrange with the program man-ager to work out on the board for a fewnights on the all-night show. Theboard -work should be second nature toyou by the time you debut on the air.

How about reading copy?Here's anarea that, at times, you have limitedcontrol over. Usually, due to economicreasons there is no copywriter in thestation. Therefore, most sales execu-tives write their own copy. They willthrow so much into it that in a60 -second spot you will get 90 secondsof copy to read.

Reading this spot too fast has theprogram manager on your back and theclient complaining. And if you omit acouple of lines at all, the sales execu-tive is in a fit, while the client isthreatening to go elsewhere. It's asituation of, you're damned if you doand you're damned if you don't.Hopefully, your program manager cansolve this problem.

In the meantime, you can help thesituation by going over all copy beforeyour show. Not just before the stop setit belongs in, but before you actually goon the air. This age-old philosophy thatyou should be able to read copy cold,anytime, anywhere or you are not a"pro," is total hogwash.

If you are working in a format thatLimits you to reading one-liners, don'tdespair. The success of the one-linerdelivery is belief. It's that simple!Everytime you crack that microphoneswitch and deliver a one-liner, the

12 RADIO REPORT Continued on page 38 December 14 1978

usic ConfidentialBy BARBARA HALL

Leaders in the music industry arelooking ahead to 1979; here's what theypredict:

Bob Siner, executive vice president,MCA Records: "In the past, we tendedto gear our campaigns toward a veryyoung age. However, we all know thatthe consumer has grown up with theindustry. It's not just kids who arebuying records. We have widened ourdemographics to include those personsupwards to 34 and 35. In 1979 many ofour marketing, promotion, and pub-licity campaigns will be tailored towardan even wider demographic."

* *

Billy Bass, vice president of promo-tion and creative services, ChrysalisRecords: "The biggest change will beartist negotiations and the industryestablishing a royalty rate for videorecordings. I believe that with the newinexpensive hardware and the currentpush for home video sets, there will bea demand for software.

"The stars of video have yet to bediscovered. So I bet that one of thebiggest changes will be establishingthe royalty rate on duplicating videorecording. The biggest challenge willbe determining the characteristics ofwhat will make stars on video.

"The recording companies will pushstronger on the issue of counter-feiting. It is my hope that we do comeup with some material that can't beduplicated - that can be used econo-mically to reduce counterfeiting tooblivion.

"I don't think tight money will effectthe music industry since the record isthe best buy dollar -for -dollar."

* *

Don Arden, president, Jet Records:"I think 1979 is going to be crucial inamending the very loose arrangementsthat are in existence and have been inexistence for many years which sup-posedly protect the copyright, the in-terests of composers, record companiesand publishing companies. I feel thatthe exploitation which borders onabuse by certain distributors andrecord dealers is tantamount to piracyin many cases. Look for giant moves in1979 to put these matters right!"

*

Jim Fogelson, president ABC, Nash-ville: "I don't have anything profoundto say. I think Nashville product will

expand. I really believe, no matter theeconomic forecast, the record industryis part of the American culture and willdo well. We are no longer considered aluxury item, but now we're considereda necessity. I think, in fact, youngpeople, if it came to a choice of food orrecords, would choose records."

* * *

Joe Galante, RCA, Nashville: "Thegeneral trend in Country music is thebroadening of our base in both produc-tion and artist growth. If our base hadremained the traditional Country base,Country music would have been morelikely to suffer from any possibleupcoming recession. But since ourmusLc has a wider demographic appeal,we're beginning to sell to the moreaffluent . . . and they have more in-come at their disposal. Certain artistsmay suffer, but overall I don't thinkwe'll have a problem."

* *

Juggy Gayles, president of Jugger-naut, Inc.: "As sure as there are 365days in 1979, '79 will be bigger than '78,and '80 will be bigger than '79. Therewill be a lot more independent projectspopping through, in turn to be ab-sorbed or distributed by the big guys.The ones that have will have lots more,but the ones that haven't - NEXT!"

* * *

Joshua Blardo, album promotiondirector, RCA: "RCA is going to breaksome major new artists. The MaxDemian band has a real good shot."

* * tr

John Fisher and Fred Vail havemoved to new offices at 704 18th Ave.South, Nashville, 37203. "We eachcame from record company back-grounds. John was at Atlantic andMotown," Fred told me, "and I was atCapitol, GRT and manager of theBeach Boys. We are heavily involved inCountry, Adult Contemporary, andPop cross -over oriented records. We'vejust started into AOR promotion.

"We're working Funkadelic, BurtonCummings, Tracy Nelson and severalindependent labels." They are alsobusy with Burl Ives.

* *News from A&M Records: Jason

McCloskey has been appointed inter-national publicity manager by DavidHubert, vice president of A&M Inter-national.

Martin Kirup, director of artistdevelopment, has announced the ap-pointments of Gail Davis as associatedirector of artist development andDiana Emole as national coordinator.

Everybody can breathe a sigh ofrelief. The Janus "Charlie Girl" searchhas finally come to an end successfullyin Albuquerque, New Mexico at stationKQEO. The winner is Kathy Denney, ablue-eyed, 5'4" blonde!

"A Gift of Song - The Music forUNICEF Concert" airs on NBC-TV,January 10, at 8 p.m. The 90 -minutespecial will bring together, for the firsttime in concert, Abba, Bee Gees, RitaCoolidge, John Denver, Earth, Wind &Fire, Andy Gibb, Elton John, KrisKristofferson, Olivia Newton -John andRod Stewart. The announcement wasmade by executive producers RobertStigwood and David Frost.

Jo Walker, executive director of theCMA, told me she was terriblyimpressed by another forthcomingtelevision show, "Christmas at TheGrand Ole Opry" hosted by JohnRitter, the late Tex Ritter's son. It'sscheduled to air December 13 on ABC.

Salsoul Records' charming album"Christmas Jollies" isn't new after all.Chuck Gregory, vice president of Sal -

soul Records pointed out that "It wasreleased a week or two before Christ-mas three years ago with no time topre -sell it. It sold strictly by store play.However, the second year we wentthrough a quarter million. The initialorders this year were a quarter millionand re -orders started three weeks ago.It's exploding out of Washington, NewYork and Miami. The album and themewasn't planned; it just happened byluck. We had decided to do anotherSalsoul Orchestra album and it wasnear the holidays."

By the way, Joe, Stan, and KenCayre are the owners of Salsoul. Theyalso distribute Latin product. Theyrepresent RCA, CBS and Ariola. "KenCayre put together the label as a Latinoffshoot. It would mix Salsa and Soul,Latin and Black."

Chuck Gregory's prediction for '79:"I think there will be more Disco radiostations. There's close to 100 now thatplay 25% to 100%, and there's morepopping every week. Latin Soul isreally Disco and Disco is dancing.Dance music is nothing new .goes back to Mozart!"

NORMAN WAIN

Y-100 is owned by Bob Weis andNorman Wain, two of the nation's mostenergetic and dynamic radio stationowners. Both men are extremelyrespected radio people -Wain for hisflair and public image, and Weis for hisfinancial acumen.

In this exclusive interview, ClaudeHall chats with Norman Wain aboutY-100.

NORMAN WAIN: Claude, I'm gonnatake you back to my first radio job in 'Norfolk, Virginia in 1949. I'm a greenkid from New York and I got a job as adisc jockey doing everything. Theshow was all done with turntables.There was no tape in those days, nocartridges, no nothing. You want torun a commercial, you got to put it on arecord and play it.

So I had five turntables, the micro-phone, I had to answer the phone,write down the requests, go into themusic library, find the record, comeback, and play it.

So being a guy with average intel-ligence, after doing that a few nights, Ifound something crazy was happening.The same records kept coming up overand over again as requests. In thosedays it was something wild! I thoughtinstead of driving myself crazy, I wouldrun into the music library and pull therecords that I knew the kids weregonna request. I would have them allstacked up instead of giving myself aheart attack running back and forth to16 RADIO REPORT

the music library. I call this story "HowI Almost Invented Top -Forty."

From that little experience I learneda very, very heavy lesson: A hit is ahit; a hit record is a record that peoplewant to hear again. If people didn'twant to hear music again, there wouldbe no reason for the whole thing.

As long as people who listen want tohear music again and again and again,it will always be required of the smartbroadcaster to discover what therecords are that those people want tohear again and again . . . and to play

4'6You see,

it's more than

just the music!

PP

them at one time or another during thecourse of their listening experience.

Now, this isn't to say that there's noroom for new music and there's noroom for variation or specialization orBlack music or White music, butthere's room for all of that stuff onlywithin that framework.

CLAUDE HALL: Yesterday I lis-tened quite a long time and I didn'tconsciously hear the same record re-peated. But I heard all the current hits,some oldies. It is a personification of aTop 40 station.

WAIN: Bill Tanner, our programdirector, is very perceptive. I think oneof the outstanding features of ourstation is that once a record gets on ourstation, it almost never dies. We're stillplaying "Boogie Shoes" and stuff likethat. Other broadcasters burn themout and say they shouldn't be played.Bill knows that if a record was a hit, itstill has a sizeable audience out therethat still wants to hear it.

HALL: One of the other things Ifound fascinating about his station isthe type of personality.

WAIN: Absolutely. DJs are verycarefully planned. Their voices are inspecific tonal ranges and they arespecific types of people.

Bill's concept is the voice andapproach of the DJ has to match 100%the kind of music we're playing and thekind of people that are out there.

HALL: Why do you think music goesthrough lulls like we're in now - andhow do you deal with it at Y-100?

WAIN: I think we're in a lull now,but what people fail to recognize is thereason for it. I really think if thesociologists take a look at it, they'regoing to come up with the answer thatone of the big, big reasons for it iswhat's going on in the world.

For instance, the Viet Nam War thatturned everybody off spawned theprotest music and it sent people back totheir composing tables to find newanswers and new ideas. You knowwhat I'm saying?

It's only when things are peacefuland when the world settles down thatmusic settles down also.

HALL: In effect, the problems weresolved by music.

WAIN: Right. Remember theBeatles hit was "Revolution." Well, thepoint is there was some fiend to battleagainst and that's what made musicintense. Today there seems to be a "letit all hang out" attitude. You know,we're just out for pleasure, sort of ahedonistic society of fun, and games.

HALL: The Disco thing is coming onpretty good. I do think there is roomfor a format using that type of music.

WAIN: I'm sure there is. You noticeall the Disco Y-100 is playing? You see,I feel we're the WABC of this market-place. While we play Disco right now,we're savvy enough to play what-ever's hot . . . to stay with thetrends . . . because we believe a hit isa hit.

HALL: I'm glad you kept Bill Tannerthere.

WAIN: Are you kidding? The guy's agenius! He really works hard at it too.He replicates and duplicates his own

December 14, 1978

research and we spend a lot of moneyon research.

There are two people in the stationin the music department, ColleenCassidy and Muzzie. They're twopeople who do nothing but research.Our music department is really aresearch department.

HALL: You've got to do all of thattoday.

I think that if WNEW-AM went outon the street with one of the programdirectors like Bill Tanner, they couldcome back in that market.

WAIN: I do think though that youhave to decide what you want to be.December 14, 1978

M

What I'm saying is this: I think it's easyto identify the hits, but then you haveto decide which hits you want to play intoday's marketplace because there areso many radio stations.

Years ago when I had WIXY, weused to call up 10 record stores andthat was our survey. It was the StoneAge of research.

But we could get away with it thenbecause there weren't a lot of radiostations around. As long as we wereplaying somewhat near the hits, whatdifference did it make?

Today with 20 or 30 radio stations, Ithink you must decide which records

1

VIT

are hits . . . then decide which recordsyou want to play. You have to havesome point of view or otherwise there'sno identity to the radio station.

But, you see it's more than just themusic. I have a theory I call "theExperience somebody has with a radiostation".

In other words, you and your wifehave a shared experience. That's whyyou're close to each other. You have todo something with your audience toinvolve them and to have a sharedexperience with them.

Continued from page 17Now the easiest, quickest, most

superficial way is to have a contest anddo things where the audience parti-cipates to a great extent with the radiostation. But the other way is moreexpensive, but more lasting. It is to getout into the community and do some-thing with the audience.

We put on Street Dances. You cometo one of our Street Dances and ifyou've been involved with us, sharedan experience and had some fun, thenyou have to have a special feel for thatspot on the dial. It's this sharedexperience that's so important.

HALL: Maybe a contest is notnecessary or a good shared experience.

WAIN: It depends on the contest. Ifit's a contest that draws the audience inand has them participate, then it's

Donny Osmond dropped by one of the Y-100 StreetDances for a surprise visit to give out copies of hisnew album.

okay. But if it's just a "call me up andwin something" contest, you know itmay not be that good.

HALL: Bill is doing one thing, "Ifsomebody asks you what radio stationyou're listening to .

' .

"WAIN: That's our ARB contest right

now. We call it the $75,000 Zip Off. I'llgive you an example of a sharedexperience. He is a genius at this. Theycall out the certain zip codes and theyask you what radio station you'relistening to. See, you have to send us apost card. Now if he calls the card ofthat hour, they win the money if theyknow and are listening. But then heallows people to call into the stationeven if they don't know it.

Here's what happens: There was onehour when we had $10,000 to giveaway. He calls the woman and shesays, "I'm sorry, my son sent in thecard and I don't know anything about

December 14, 1978

it." He says, "I want you to know if youhad said 'Y-100,' you would have won$10,000!"

He hangs up and says, "Okay, I'lltake the 100th caller and I'll give themthe $10,000." He spread it out like youwouldn't believe. He stretched it outand about 8:15 he gets up to 98. Finallyhe said you are caller 100. People werecommitting suicide on the other end ofthe phone.

I'll tell you, I almost drove off theroad that day - it was so exciting!That is what you call a sharedexperience. We got calls for a weekafter that from people saying theycouldn't get to work, couldn't leave thecar, couldn't leave the radio. It wasunbelievable.

I don't take any credit for theprogramming here. I gave him littlevariations, but it's basically Bill Tan-ner. We all participate a little bit andhe is very receptive to ideas, but hereally knows what he is doing.

HALL: Right now he's got to be oneof the heaviest program directors inthe country.

WAIN: Listen, he jumped on theDisco thing a long time ago.

HALL: As a veteran radio guy, howdo you feel . . . here you are living inanother market most of the time.

WAIN: I feel like I'm out of theaction. I do, I really miss it.

But I'll tell you something, I'm oldernow, I'm 50. And I feel these guys havethe energy and the smarts and theexcitement to do a job. I sometimesfeel if I was around, I'd inhibit them alittle bit. I'd rather sit back, do thephilosophizing and the thinking, comeinto the market every now and then,and tinker with it a little bit. But thebasic everyday stuff is a rough busi-ness.

I'll tell you something. I came downhere while we were changing managersand I sat in the manager's chair forabout six to seven weeks. It's tough. Ifound out how tough it really is.

This manager, Dave Ross, isn't even30 yet and we got him running this bigmulti -million dollar operation for us.

HALL: I think it takes that today.WAIN: It does. The young shall

inherit the Earth. I'll tell you why;they have to have resiliency, which asyou get older I find you have less of.The resiliency I'm talking about is theability to swing with the punches, theproblems that come up every minute.

HALL: When you come down hereafter you've been away for a few weeksand hear the radio station, what's thefeeling that you get?

WAIN: First of all, I miss it. I loveY-100. It's the only radio station thatI've owned that I love. .I love theexcitement, the sound, the creativity.There's something about the recur-rence that gives you a certain stability.I hated it when I was a disc jockey, butnow as a listener I love it.December 14, 1978

SHOWCASE

Blues Brothers"Briefcase

Full of Blues"Atlantic Records

ArtistProducer Bob Tischler: "What I tried

to achieve was to keep all theexcitement and live feel of the BluesBrothers concerts in Los Angeles lastSeptember. I couldn't be happier withthe entire project or the completedalbum itself. I'm only sorry that thelistener will miss seeing Elwood's greatdancing and Jake's antics on stage!"Radio

John Long, program director ofWHBQ in Memphis: "We've beenplaying them for two weeks. First,because Dan Aykroyd and John Belu-shi are two of the hottest comedians inthe country. Second, 'Soul Man' wasoriginally done in Memphis on the Staxlabel by Sam and Dave. And third, onthe Blues Brothers recording two ofMemphis' most famous musicians,Duck Dunn and Steve Cropper arefeatured. So put all that informationtogether and it made sense for us toplay it. "

PromotionVince Feraci, national pop promo-

tion director: "John Belushi and DanAykroyd are Jake and Elwood Blues.They learned the blues in the basementof a Catholic school from the janitor.They started paying their dues andplaying the blues and smoking Ches-terfields all over the country. Theybuilt up a strong following and came tothe attention of Atlantic Records.Their first single, 'Soul Man,' is rippingup the country with airplay and salesfrom their just -released album 'Brief-case Full of Blues.'"

Big Al Downing

"Mr. Jones"

Warner Bros. Records

ArtistBig Al Downing: "I was born and

raised in Oklahoma and I used to ride inthe rodeos. This is my first Countrysingle. To a songwriter, R&B andCountry are alike in that they both tella story. When I sit down to write asong, I try to create a situation. Whatwould I do if I were Mr. Jones andraised a white child. I tried to base it onreal life. How many children breaktheir father's heart? Almost everyfamily likes to call out to a father whenthey are in trouble.

"We cut it at the Power Station inNew York and sweetened it with LloydGreen. My producers were TonyBongiovi, Lance Quinn, and HaroldWheeler."

RadioChris Taylor, program director/

music director, KYNN in Omaha: "Ipicked it out of the box. It was a gutfeeling. It's going to explode in 1979like 'Convoy' and `Teddybear,' but itdoesn't have the tuneout that thosetwo records had. Right now it's themost -requested record I have. It seemsto be mass appeal, not just women butmen as well."

PromotionStan Byrd, national director, Coun-

try promotion: "We've been excitedabout Big Al Downing since he firstwalked in the building with the tape.The actual song, 'Mr. Jones,' not theone they showed us first. It was thefifth song they played for us.

"We feel he is the most exciting andunique new talent. "

Crazy Horse

Crazy Moon Album

RCA Records

ArtistBilly Talbot, Ralph Molina and Frank

Sampedro: "We agree with Neil Youngthat this is our best album . . . and wedon't know which songs are the bestbecause that was our goal. We wantedto make the kind of album where everycut was listenable like 'Abbey Road,'the first Cream album, and 'Sgt.Pepper.'

"The album was produced by Rich-ard Heenan, Kirby Johnson and NeilYoung."

RadioJohn Gorman, program director,

WMMS in Cleveland: "It's really good.Neil Young plays guitar on four cutsand it should be called to the attentionof people who like Neil Young's music.There's some of the best guitar playingthat Neil has done in quite awhile. Itshouldn't be overlooked by stations."

PromotionJoshua Blardo, national albums di-

rector: "Crazy Horse is looking hotterand hotter for us each week. A sub-stantial number of stations have goneout of the box on Crazy Horse.

"We're very proud to have the groupon the label and we definitely plan tosupport them with time buys, etc.They are Neil Young's band, they areveterans, and they should get theairplay."

The Selling ofThe Miami Market

By DAVID R. ROSSY-100 Vice Presidentand General Manager

The theme for 1979 in Miami/Ft.Lauderdale is "Back to Basics." TheSouth Florida marketplace is one of themost unique in the country, both froma geographical and socio-economicstandpoint. This means that in sellingthe radio station to the market, lis-teners and advertisers, it requiresstrict attention to details and wellthought out marketing plans. Themarket is too competitive for second-rate efforts.

In looking at the marketplace, onefinds a long, narrow business districtrequiring salesmen to travel from PalmBeach to the Keys. Along this route,the businesses and listeners are vastlydifferent.

In Miami itself (Dade County), onefinds a mixture of cultures, a city thatis virtually bilingual. The Spanish-speaking people comprise close to 35%of the total population. The rest of thebase is made up of various Caucasianbackgrounds totaling approximately49% of the total base. The market isrounded out by a large Black popula-tion of 16%.

The Ft. Lauderdale market (Brow-ard County) is "lilly white," with about12% Black and less than 10% Spanish.Surprisingly enough, the demographicsof the total marketplace, Dade/Brow-ard, includes 40.7% between the agesof 18 and 49! Not as geriatric as one

28 RADIO REPORT

would believe. With total buyingpower and several other related cate-gories, the market could be ranked asnumber 12 in the U.S.

Both in promotion and in selling, themarket is a challenge. How do youpromote to such a vast geographicalarea containing so many diverse lis-teners and cultures? The answer for usis to be consistent and to relate to themasses. High visability is a key:Bumper sticker promotions, along withoutdoor in the form of paint unitscombined with either buses or busbenches appealing to South Floridalifestyle (remembering that the massaudience does not live on the ocean andsee palm trees on sandy beaches every-day).

There is a whole world on the otherside of Rt. 95, the main thoroughfare ofSouth Florida. The tourists primarilyoccupy the beachfront, and the popula-tion lives a normal life, except the sunshines everyday. Remembering alsothat there are very few actual Flori-dians .(most of the population is fromvarious other areas of the country), wefind that musical tastes are a blend ofthe entire United States. As such, wecan be broad in our appeal from apromotional standpoint.

The important factor is that allpromotions have interest to all agegroups and that our internal coordina-tion between programming and salesallows us to get a "big bang for thebuck." We believe that every promo -

tion can do as much for sales as it doesin building audience. We communicatewith the clients and agencies throughweekly mailings and in -person contact.A Y-100 salesman always has more totalk about than ratings. Every promo-tion on the station is used for sales"sizzle." The end result is both aud-ience excitement and client reaction interms of wanting to be on thestation to take advantage of the ex-citement. The bottom line: Turningpromotion $$$ into sales getters!

This is the true "Gold Rush" area ofthe U.S. The society is incrediblymobile and combined with the weatherand the transplanted business peoplefrom the North, there are hundreds ofnew businesses cropping up monthly...There is, in fact, more retail space percapita here than anywhere in the U.S.

These business people are in anenvironment that encourages experi-mentation, and the Y-100 sales staffsells creative marketing plans andhelps these new businesses to promote.They are not tied to traditional formsof advertising, because the people ofthe market and the market is nottraditional.

It's fun radio, and we use everyresource, be it Street Dances in frontof water slides, tying in a sponsor tothe Stella Taylor Atlantic Swim, orjust selling a car dealer.

We sell results, credibility and sta-bility, the basics of a solid long-termbusiness.

Clean Up ActContinued from page 9call -letters, do a gag -line, read a com-mercial, PSA, or anything, do it withbelief!

Say you have a prize to give away.Your job is to believe in your mind thatit's great and sell it with that kind ofbelief. Enthusiasm then becomes na-tural. Believe the one-liner, the com-mercial, the PSA, the gag, etc. Believeit and others will believe what theyhear.

Become involved with your environ-ment, the market you're in. Buy a mapthat details your service area and knowit! Know where the main highwayarteries and streets are, where all thehigh schools and colleges are located,plus their colors and mascot names.Know all the major parks and wherethey're located. Know all the names ofsuburban areas outside the city, andlearn the local colloquialisms used.Know who the mayor and local legis-lative representatives are, when andwhere the major annual events are.Become fully informed!

Ask your program manager, generalmanager, sales manager or newsdirector. They should and would notconsider this kind of questioning ir-relevant. If they don't know, call the

Chamber of Commerce, check thelibrary, ask, ask, ask.

Here is another element which isseldom touched on by what seems to bea major percentage of today's programmanagers: What with computer read-outs, and the one-liner syndrome, anddoing this here, and that there, andselling this and reading that, I findmany program managers actually lackthe ability to motivate fun on the radio.I suppose they're afraid of it or don'tknow how to handle it. Most greatair -talents have fun . . . no matterwhat the conditions.

Consider this, by virtue of your ownchoice, the greatest profession of alltime. Even though at times you arereferred to as a "piece of meat," don'tyou ever believe it! You have theawesome responsibility to entertainand inform. In this day and age, withsuch events as the Kennedy and Kingassassinations, Viet Nam, Watergate,cost of living, Flight 182, and theJonestown Mass Suicides, plaguing allthe people, you have unexpectedlybeen placed into a far more importantposition than that of the President ofthe United States.

Second only to the teaching profes-sion (which deals with the lives of ourchildren and our childrens' children),your contributions to society are farmore reaching than that of doctors,nurses, lawyers, blue-collar workersand

I know that in many cases you aresurrounded by greed and selfishness,and it's tough to survive in this kind ofenvironment. There is, however, onegigantic consolation to all of this.Because you give from the heart -truth, love, joy, warmth, kindness andhappiness - you can have the satis-faction in knowing your contributionwill maintain our nation's sanity.

Keep in mind the audience tunes into listen to the music, and you want tobelong. They want to reach out forsomething or someone who will taketheir minds off their troubles and yet,truthfully, unveil the information thateffects their destiny. This indeed is anunmeasureable power.

Also consider it a rare privilege!I can't guarantee you that you will

become a greater air -talent from thesenotes; only you can guarantee that byyour own desire to succeed. PerhapsI've shed some light that will help youalong the way. I personally considerbeing an air -talent the noblest profes-sion in the history of mankind. Al-though that's a profound statement, itis my opinion!

Success lies in your own personalinner strength, in your ability to self -

motivate yourself through the mosttrying circumstances, in your ability toforgive and to improve. And finally, atrue desire to make others happy, eventhough many will never see, but onlyhear your voice.


Ken ButticeContinued from page 1go top ten on the list, if they see itmid -charting in places around thecountry, they tend to want to shy awayfrom it. And I think that day is gone, Ithink radio is going to have to startrealizing that because of the single salethe way it is, they're going to have tostart changing and realizing thatwhat's creating a lot of album sales andbreaking groups is the fact that you'reonly going to sell a certain amount ofsingles and the day of the million -selling single is going to be gone.

CLAUDE HALL: This means thatthey're going to have to adjust theirway of researching records.

BUTTICE: Absolutely.HALL: As a promotion man, are you

able to keep the excitement going on asingle?

BUTTICE: That's the key. Whenthere are so many records now thatrecord companies hardly ever see arecord anymore go 30 to 19 to 11 to 2.Those days are over with.

HALL: The other day we had a storyabout a promotion man becoming moreand more important in the industry.Are you finding that true in your ownviewpoint?

BUTTICE: Absolutely. Look at a lotof the key executives in the industry,looking at Joe Smith, who is apromotion man, looking at Steve Lax,who's President of EA, who's a promo-tion man, Al Corey, who's doing thisincredible job at RSO, who's a promo-tion man. Everyone's coming backfrom the promotion roots, and it'sinteresting to say that once you go onin a career in promotion, all the stepsthat you've taken from a local man to aregional man to a national man to adirector of a staff, encompass justabout every department of a recordcompany. You're constantly learningwhat sales is, what marketing is, whatartist development is, what publicityis, you've just about worked in everyfacet of a record company. I thinkthat's why promotion men are theleading men in the industry today.

When I came here, Queen had neverbeen on AM radio. Jackson Brownehad never been on AM radio. JacksonBrowne now - his last album "Run-ning On Empty" just passed the3,000,000 unit mark.

HALL: In my own mind, I thinkthat's because of the singles.

BUTTICE: Absolutely. That's whywhat we were talking about in thebeginning of this interview about howimportant it is - and I hope thatpeople can all start understanding theproblem.December 14, 1978

Radio has to start understandingthat records, single sales, are falling;they're falling by the wayside, andwhat we have to do is understand theproblem and realize that there mightbe times when radio has to playmid -chart records. And whetherthey're mid -chart insomuch as a mid -chart record which we think is mid -chart to day, is not mid -chart. Where ayear ago, it was a mid -chart record, intoday's marketplace, that record's ahit. And that is what radio has to startunderstanding.

HALL: How do you go aboutbreaking a record today?

BUTTICE: Oh, it's still pretty muchbelieving in it; having the totalcompany behind it, in all facets ofhaving the act working, of having acampaign mounted, when you feel youhave the right ingredients pulledtogether. Maybe you have that one hittrack on that album you believe in, andyou release it as a single and you startpicking up airplay around the countryand putting the right stations together.The thing that's been so successful atElektra/Asylum is that so much that Ithink we've been real fortunate in thatwe can smell a hit record. We smell itat an early stage and we jump in it realfast, and that's been one of the keys ofsuccess here; of being able to smell thatrecord whatever marketplace it'sstarting to break, and then put thewheels together and get them to startmoving and spread the record on a fastbasis.

HALL: Does promotion still work? Imean promotion with radio stations.Paul Stanley is in Houston Saturdaynight. They're already got 600 calls atthe radio station. Does promotion:personal appearances, that type ofthing. Are they still as effective as theyused to be?

BUTTICE: Absolutely. It's impor-tant - for instance, right now, we'vegot a group, The Cars. We haven'tbeen able to penetrate the Southernmarkets. If only we could get this bandto work in Houston, to work in Texas, Iknow - see in the South, they stillthink we have a punk band; meanwhilewe are a million units - we've sold amillion records with this band. Theyare not a punk band. They are a newsounding Rock and Roll band that isjust the likes of many people aroundthe country. If we could just get thisband to play in these Southern mar-kets, and get some of these program-mers down to see this band perform,they can see that what we have goinghere is really something real strong.And by seeing what a great band thisreally is, it'll change their whole mind

around.HALL: In regards to the groups

out now, is it more pleasant workingwith groups today than it was a fewyears ago?

BUTTICE: I think it is, I think thegroups are understanding, getting toknow, what the business is really aboutand I'm getting into a marketplace andreally working the market properly.The bands of today are really helpful,inasmuch as doing interviews, whetherit's doing radio, whether it's doingwhatever it takes for them to breakthrough, I think . . .

HALL: I find they're more orofes-sional.

BUTTICE: Oh, much more profes-sional. Well, I think also bands arestarting to realize that the way albumsales are nowadays, the way the albumis selling that you're talking about bigmoney and they realize that it's there,and it's there to be gotten, and if theydo it properly, there's a shot foreverybody.

HALL: Do you find that promotion iseasier or harder now?

BUTTICE: I find it interesting. Mepersonally, I find it easier. Every-thing's a challenge. Hearing a newband and trying to bust them v, ideopen to me is a challenge. When I sp.ythat the days of the monster -sellingsingle is over, that's making it a littletougher, but also AOR radio is comingon real strong, and that's making iteasy.

HALL: Are there certain areas ofthe market that are more eager tobreak a product than others?

BUTTICE: Well, it's not really - Idon't think there's really certain radiostations, I think there's certain sounds.Baston's been a good market for us asfar as breaking our English Rock andRoll. Queen we broke out of Boston.The Cars we broke out of Boston. Inthe Midwest we have that Rock andRoll belt; in the South we tend to leantoward a little of that Southern style.There's really no certain stationsanymore that break records; it's just atotal, universal thing where we feelthat everybody takes part in breakingmusic for us.

HALL: How big is the staff underyou?

BUTTICE: I have 23 local people,five regional and four national peopleworking.

HALL: Do you like to listen to radio?BUTTICE: Oh, I love radio.
