NEW ALBUM

OUT IN EUROPE NOW

-111M-Fiu,RTL And Europe I Unite ToFight For FM FrequenciesTwo of France's leading AM radiostations, RTL and Europe 1, arejoining forces to lobby the coun-try's broadcasting authority, theCSA, to grant them more FM fre-quencies.

Representatives of the stationswere scheduled to meet the CSAon September 18, to present ajoint proposal which details thereasons why a national FM fre-quency is vital to each.

The contents of the proposalwill not be unveiled until themeeting. However, Philippe La-bro, programme GM at Rill, saysit is based on two arguments. Thefirst is that the stations have acrucial role in France's democraticsystem, broadcasting seven hoursof news daily. Secondly, the sta-tion's claim that FM is a fact ofsociety, and not being on the FMband would prevent them fromreaching a new and young au-dience.

by Emmanuel Legrand

RTL already broadcasts on theFM band in 48 cities. More than254o of the station's audience ismade up of FM listeners and asLabro rtuts it: "Once you havetried FM, you do not go back toAM'

RTL and Europe 1, both tradi-tionally strong in the north ofFrance, expect to be broadcast inthe south on the FM band. Bothstations were recently bannedfrom a frequency in Nice by thelocal broadcasting authority(CRT).

Labro: "The issue is not aboutthe economical survival of a com-pany; it is about the public's rightto listen to radio stations whicham part of the main issuesdiscussed in our society andwhich favour dialogue. We wouldlike to have the sametechnological capabilities as thepublic service networks, as is thecase with the private TV stations:'

A spokesperson for RTL saysthat generalist stations, as AMoutlets are often called becausethey do not have a clear format,believe that they have not beentreated fairly: "We were allowedto get onto the FM band in 1986,but only on our normal coveragezone. Then we started to havetransmitters elsewhere, but whenwe saw how some public stationsand music outlets were treated, westarted to ask questions:'

Roland Faure, who is in chargeor radio at the CSA, said in thedaily newspaper La Monde that"it is obvious that in all the citieswhere there is room available,Europe 1 and RTL's programmeswill have access to the FM band",but they have to understand that"the CSA cannot bypass the rulesfixed by the law and the calendarfor new frequencies".

INXS Talksbackcontinued from pagewill be sent via satellite to CapitalRadio's main control room inLondon. It will then be distri-buted across the UK IR networkby Satellite Media Services (SMS)and across Europe via Intelsat.

Adamson says that the show,which will not feature sponsor-ship or advertising, is "the mostexpensive hour of radio MCM hasever produced". He declined toreveal a sum though industry in-siders estimate total costs for suchan event to be in excess of 20.000(US$ 11 .000).

PolyGram will be providingmost of the finance, with MCMasking for a "small contribution"from participating stations andnetworks to cover distributioncosts.

Peter Schultz, European mana-ger for PolyGram Internationalsays the show will serve as an "ex-cellent pan-European showcase"for the new INKS album. Severalstations across Europe will be ser-viced with the album beforeSeptember 24, though Schultzsays that "across most territoriespoeple will hear the album for thefirst time on this show". The bandare currently rehearsing in Mel-bourne for a European tour,beginning in Holland on Novem-ber 1.

According to Adamson theINXS special is a non-profit pilotfor a series of similar 'talkback'specials: "This is a complexoperation and we are monitoring.the results carefully. If it goes wellwe will certainly do more" 0

MTV Claims Ratings SuccessMTV Europe claims to have near-ly tripled its 16-34 year -old au-dience over the past year, follow-ing the release of the PETAR '90survey of European cable viewing.

The pan-European music chan-nel says an 88% jump in its poten-tial audience ("universe growth")and a 5890 ratings increase corn.bined to give it an average of197% more viewers in that agegroup than last year.

The service did particularlywen in Germany, where it claimsits 16-34 audience was nearly ninetimes greater (up 796%), and inBelgium, where the number ofviewers in the age group nearlyquadrupled (up 290%).

Bordeaux Represents Virgin's Megastore Futureby Eavnan el Logroad

The Virgin Megastore in Bor-deaux, which will open at the endof September, represents "the for-mat of the future EuropeanMegastores", according to PatrickZelnik, president of VirginFrance

Speaking at a press conferenceto promote the Bordeaux store,Patrick Hourquebie, GM of theVirgin stores, added: "The Bor-deaux Megastore reflects the con-cept of what a European storeshould be. It offers a goodbalance between music products,videos, the bookstore and the hi-fidebartment, and also includes arestaurant!'

The Bordeaux store is biggerthan Virgin's Paris Megastore,with more than 5.000 squaremetres of display space (against3.000 in Paris) and an additional3.000 metres for offices and stock.

Centrally located, the storefaces tough competition; FNACalready has an outlet in Bordeaux,HMV will soon open its firstFrench store in the city and thereis a dynamic local retailer.

Hourquebie acknowledged thechallenge: "For the first time, wewill be in a situation of total com-petition. My hope is that all threeoutlets will survive, for the benefitof consumers!'

Zelnik said: "France is a desertwhen it comes to musical pro-ducts. French consumers onlyspend Ffr 115 a year on records,compared to Ffr 161 in Germany

and Ffr 206 in the UK. Our aim isto increase the size of the market.We believe there is room for sevento 10 Megastores in France's mainregional capitals!' As well as

Paris, Virgin already has a

Megastore in Marseilles.Zelnik and Hourquebie are

both board members of the inter-national Virgin Megastore divi-sion and their success in France

has brought a lot of attentionfrom the mother company.

The Virgin Megastore companyrecently increased its capital,doubling it from Ffr 60 million(app. US$ 11.5 million) to Ffr 120million, but it did not change thestructure of the shareholders.Zelnik says the company is in-vesting Ffr 200 million on newdevelopments throughout France.

Investment for new stores rangesfrom Ffr 50 million to Ffr 100million, depending on the size ofthe project, although no details ofindividual sites were made public..

Polydor Meets Radiocontinued from page Iopportunity to confront theirlabel counterparts in a roundtableformat.

"We have to understand oneanother's interests;' said BR 3producer Jim Sampson, who wasamong those to participate, "but Ican't think of any product mana-ger, even from Munich, who hascome to the station in the lastyear. Promotion people End tooccupy a sort of demilitarisedzone between the two interestswhich it is difficult to penetrate!'

Other broadcasters present in-cluded Bavarian Radio head oflight music Claus -Erich Boetzkes,NDR 2 head of music Lutz Acker-mann, and music editors GuidoSchneider (SWF), Barbara Gan-sauge (WOE), Markus Mettle(HR 3), and Wilfred Eckel (SR I).RPR head of music GuidoMueller was the only private radiodelegate to attend.

Polydor MD Goetz Kiso hostedthe forum, which was called bythe label's head of radio promo-tion, Rosita Falke. She said it wasnot a reaction to any particularproblem Polydor had with sta-tions, preferring to describe it as away of "helping understanding byboth sides of each other!'

Falke added: "Stations tend tothink that product managers

don't really consider the needs ofthe radio stations, while themanagers are always complainingThal some records are not gettingairplay, perhaps even if they are inthe charts!'

Those present welcomed thedebate, although it was generallyagreed that it provided only a firststep towards building a direct rela-tionship between stations and

product management Schneider:"From now on, we should be ableto work together more directly.This was really the first time wehave made contact!'

"I don't think anyone will go

away with any major problems ac-tually solver added Gansauge."But at least we have had thechance to clear the air, to ex-change views!"

13oetzkes, the senior radiorepresentative present, explainedthe kind of problems still faced bystations. "One basic point, for ex-ample, is that on CDs the firsttrack often has the wrong mix lotradio, so presenters sometimesplay the wrong one. We have beenable to ask if there was a chancethey could be nice to us and putthe original mix on track one!'

He also criticised promoters forsupplying too much irrelevant,and not enough essential, infor-mation. "We need tips, to saywhat is a good product for ourchannels. What we're getting nowis still 'this is the most wonderfulthing you ever heard - here it isand play it'."

From the opposite camp, themost outspoken criticism of radiocame from Tim Renner, Polydor'sA&R/marketing executive forprogressive music He attackedstations for their reluctance toplay anything other than "com-mercial" music, even when itreached the charts,

"What radio is looking for inGermany is music without anycharacter - nearly all the stationsare similar and getting closertogether. There is plenty of roomfor stations to reach other au-diences, which would also bring innew listeners and advertising, sellmore records and make the chartsmore interesting.

"I don't know yet whether thismeeting has made any progress on

this, but or leans now the stationsknow what I'm moaning for.

Maybe I'll get a step further whenI meet them next!'

TALKBACK

Conroy - Controlling Chrysalis DevelopmentSince Paul Conroy joined

Chrysalis In August lastyear, as international

president, the label hasenjoyed an upturn in its

fortunes. SineadO'Connor's success -

selling six million albumsworldwide and having just

won the MTV videoaward - best illustrates

the recent change ofclimate at the company.

Conroy is known as a strong mar-keting -oriented person, always

looking for alternative ways topromote product. Machgiel Bak-ker talks to him about the dif-ficulties of working with artistsand hears him reflect on radioprogramming and the problemsfaced when trying to sell recordsto a public more familiar with theexploits of Paul Gascoignc thanPhil Collins.

Q: In Chris Wright's keynotespeech at MIDEM this year heacuses radio of not supportingenough talent, What role didradio play in the breaking ofSinead O'Connor?A: I think it was the BBC's SimonBates who started it and then itjust exploded from there Al-though, exactly how much wasradio and how much was video isdifficult to say. I must admit, thefirst time I heard it, I wasn't surethat it would do that well. WhenNigel Grainge [MD of O'Connorsoriginal label Ensign] first playedus two tracks from the album,many of us said the single shouldbe Three Babies and not NothingCompares 2 U.

Q: In an interview with BillFlanagan published in the Augustissue of Musician, O'Connor isquoted as being very critical of therecord industry. Do you agreewith her points?A: Sinead obviously is a wrystrong and opinionated person.Yet she is also a very weak person.She is like all artists, they needconstant attention. I did read thatarticle She certainly went off onthe attack. With artists, their at-titude seems determined by whathas happened to them on anygiven day. When artists want you,they want you desperately. Theywant to play you a particular tapeand when they feel they've got

everything they want, they cansometimes throw you away like anold shoe.

In the interview she went onabout the percentages - shouldn'tthey be more and so on. Weil,that's fine but you need to look atthe whole situation. It's likebuilding a football team. Youhave a couple of star players,

while some of the others play aless important role. On the otherhand, she is one of those artistswho is very committed to whatshe does. She's sincere and con-vincing on stage and on record.Artists like that, they live and

breathe it all day, are always look-ing for perfection.

I): Chrysalis has been workinghard to break World Party. Isn't itfrustrating to see that his albumshaven't yet translated that well in,to sates?

A: Yes, but it's what makes youget up in the morning. You can'texpect ovemight sitcoms and aquick return on your investments.It's a slow building process. May-be this isn't the big album for KarlWallinger [the group's frontman].He's a strange phenomenon. A lotof young people haven't seenmany acts like him, as they don'tgo to gigs, preferring house raves.

Q: But isn't he more appealing toa 30 -plus audience, w hick has lostinterest in pop musk?A: That's the hardest marker to

crock. Recently, I was at a PhilCollins concert at Wembley. Sud-denly, I heard the person next tome saying: "Oh! He's getting onthe drums. I didn't know heplayed drums". At that point Ijust thought to myself "Oh God,this is the market were aiming tosell billions of records to. Andthey know more about Paul

Gascoigne than Phil Collins".How do you get to them? Theywant to be spoon-fed.

A lot of people are sick of see-ing performers miming to trackson pop programmes. They're sickof hearing artists going through

the motions and saying the samethings. We're living in very conser-vative times. There's hardly any-one rocking the boat. But havingsaid that, there's more reason tobe in the record business now thanever before You hope there is

always going to be something elsearound the comer or someoneknocking on the door ready toplay you a fantastic tape

Q: How do fed about the currenttrend towards formatted radio?A: Airing product on these sta-tions will not automatically leadto people buying records. Itdepends how interested they arewhen hearing something. If I hearBessie Smith on the radio, I wouldprobably go out and buy therecord. But we've seen over theyears that once people get theirback catalogue CDs they don't

keep renewing them all the timeFor a lot of people radio is justbackground. And most won't buyproduct on the first single, Theyprefer to wait until they haveheard more tracks.

(,): Would wet welcome alter -eating types of radio formats?A: Absolutely. More album pro-grammes. It's a shame there's notmore of them. But then, it mustbe very hard for stations like BBCRadio I to satisfy different tastes,especially with records beingplugged from all sides: The situp.tion is crazy with the playlist be-ing so important. It is made

worse, sometimes, when you're onthe playlist and you don't get thenumber of plays you should haveThere's an album list at BBCRadio I which means nothing.Most of us in the business wonderwhy they bother printing it.

In the heydays of John Peel and

John Waters, all A&R people wererecording their programmes. Thatreflected the real power of radio.Today, programmers are trying tocater for a pop market, rightacross the board. But there's somuch to be included, fromballads, black and dance to rap,and pleasing everybody must be avery difficult goal to achieve. But,of course, when radio starts play-ing three albums, we want them toplay six. We work in a greedybuSincss

Glasgow on September 5-9. Thisis the first time the self-styledEuropean music business con-ference - loosely based on theannual New Music Seminar inNew York - has taken placeDelegates and speakers totalledaround 140.

Held in the impressive surroun-dings of Glasgow University inScotland, New Music Worldunashamedly pitched itself as a"celebration of the independentmusic scene".

"For years now, the more ex-perimental UK bands have

depended on European audiencesfor their livelihood!' claimedorganisers in a glossy programme"The 805 spread all sorts of Euro-club sounds and the emergence ofFreach-based world music haschanged even UK audience at-titudes!'

One seminar addressed thequestion "Is the narrow-minded-ness of indie labels a major bar-rier to their success?"

Without exception, the fivepanellists- Brian Guthrie (partnerin Nightshift Records & Distribu-tion), Pete Lawrence (MD Cook-ing Vinyl), Lindsay Hutton (NextBig Thing magazine and records),Dietrich Eggert (Rough TradeWest Germany) and Robert King(Catharsis Records) - said it was,in fact, the majors which arenarrow-minded.

"The thing about people pro-ducing indie product!' said Law-rence, "is that they are fanaticalabout it, not narrow-minded. In-evitably, economics is the bottomline But in our position, we canstill afford to sell 5.000 copies of a

dents. Even now, Rough TradeWest Germany is exploring co -manufacturing deals to save onorigination costs!'

The term indie, its date ofconception and who it can beapplied to also came underscrutiny. The origins, suggested adelegate, camewhen young people finally hadaccess to the process of makingrecords. A comment agreed withby panellists.

However, the word indie itself,delegates felt, should be axed. Butthe conference failed to come upwith an alternative generic term.

with nobody left to champion itscause

Guthrie won colleagues' appro-val when he called for animproved industry grapevine "Iwas badly stung when distributorsPinnacle and Fast Forward wentbankrupt. It seemed a lot ofpeople in the business knew thatthey were about to go do.. Didthey tell me? Did they like hell!They let me carry on selling tothose companies:'

A later seminar asked: Are thecurrent changes in broadcasting ahelp or hindrance to the promo-tion of new music? Panellists wereBrenda Kelly (Sub TV), JohnArcher (BBC Scotland), RobinValk (BRNB/Xtra AM), MarkFord (Rapido), Ken Garner (radiocutlet and Keith Harris (Europe-an manager Stevie Wonder).

Harris was skeptical of suppos-ed broadcasting change. "It willnot make any real difference topeople trying to promote music indifferent areas!'

And he went on to claim thatmost UK incrementals have been

"The importance placed on charts isgrossly and obscenely distorted,"

Robin Valk"Who can the term 'indie' beapplied to?" asked Pete Lawrence"Stock, Aitken & Waterman aretechnically indie Should they bein the indie charts?"

"We take gambles and risks themajors will not!' stressed BrianGuthrie "Of course, you have bigindies and little indict' Risktaking, he claimed, was notalways proportional to size

The Nightshift Records partnerthen turned his attention to A&R."They come in two forms; theones who fight the indie bands'comer and the career AIR man,who company hops on his

reputation:'Bands are better off with an

revenue which means playinglowest common denominatormusic. There is no scope in thebroadcasting bill for people to setup low -budget stations in thesame way that you have shoe-string indie labels!'

Harris then turned on themajors. "Such record companiesdo not see any reason why theyshould support any kind of musicoutside the mainstream. Yet new,alternative radio needs thesupport of major labels. Typically,such companies are not wiling tofurnish back catalogue material ifthis is no longer commerciallymailable"

Robin Valk from BRMB pickedup the incremental argument. "Inthe current climate and with UKadvertising budgets as they amthe new stations are not really

viable This is going to result inmore, highly formatted pro-gramming which will inevitablybe conservative. This is to be

regretted because localised, spe-cialised music radio is the onlyway forward for new musicUnfortunately, this is not going tobe the scenario!'

The panel went on to examinethe significance of the nationalsales charts. "The importanceplaced on charts is grossly andobscenely distorted,' said Valk."They area useful tool but whatthey ought to have is a bit morehonesty and a bit less rigging.What I tend to do, when I look ata chart, is to call up the peoplewho compile a regional chart.They say 'this looks like a bit of asuspicious jump by such and suchan act. A lot or record companiesmust have bought on that one.This is now almost accepted and itis obscene The fact that everyoneaccepts it is even more obscene'

But Keith Harris suggested thehype from all the majors wouldcancel itself out. "Sec among themajors, you tend to get a fairlyaccurate chart. Unfortunately, theindies cannot compete with thelevel of hype the majors are

doing!'As the event drew to a close,

Mikael Hojris, from the Danishgovernment funded musicorganisation, ROSA, reflected onthe seminar: "I found the panelsof five people faced by around 40delegates created excellent

interplay. The fact that the panelsfielded questions from the floor,ath tha early delivering a

speech, also helped preceedings!'Atlantic International A&R's

Basil Barrow was happy with the£ 500 investment it cost his label;

100 of that on registration. CBSalso dispatched a delegate "Mymain criticism!' said Barrow, "isthat I was out until the early hoursof the morning checking out'evening' showcases and then hadto try and make seminars startingat 11.00".

Event co-ordinator Simon Frithwas unhappy that more supportfrom Glasgow City Council wasnot received. "I am also bitterlydisappointed more of the majorsdidn't turn up. The turnout fromthe Scottish independents wasappalling, even though they arebased locally!' He made nocommitment to staging a NewMusic World seminar next year.111

EC Likely To Revive Blank Tape LevyThe blank tape levy could still beintroduced under EC directives,Conservative Member 0f Parlia-ment Jeremy Hanley told Poly -Gram UK's annual sales con-ference in Brighton last week.

Hanley said he "regretted" thatthe government's promise to in-troduce a blank tape levy in its lastelection manifesto had been drop-ped because it was regarded as anew tax.

"It's not a tax:' Hanley assert-ed. "It's a royalty that rewardscreative people for making use oftheir talent!' And he added thatthe EC recognised the value of ablank tape levy far a healthyrecord industry.

Manchester StationsMake More ChangesManchester local stations KFMand Sunset, which have bothundergone management uphea-vals since coming on air earlierthis year, are making programm-ing changes.

KFM in Stockport, south Man-chester, which was taken over by aconsortium headed by Stoke IRstation Signal Radio during thesummer, is now carrying Signal'sovernight output.

But programme controllerJohn Evington denies that thechanges go against KFM's pro-mise of performance to the In-dependent Broadcasting Authori-ty. "Manchester has to be one ofthe most exciting cities for musicright now and KFM should reflectthat. We have introduced a new22.00-01.00 late show whichfeatures mainly local music. Wealso had a strong presence at therecent South Manchester MusicFestival which was compered bytwo of our presenters!'

Evington says that by usingSignal's overnight programmingKFM has been able to re -allocateits budget to provide more localnews coverage. "We will be taking way we have'

KFM is also reintroducingseveral specialist shows, MindingR&B, jazz and soul, and Evingtonis happy with the way the stationis sounding. "It's coming to-gether well.

Oberstein, who is bringing informer CBS sales director JohnMair as customer services directorat PolyGram Record Operationsin Romford, said that two-thirdsof the company's distributionbusiness is now handled via theEROS electronic re -orderingsystem. And he pleaded withdealers to show unanimity in us-ing the system.

"It grieves me to hear dealerssay they can't get through on thephone when they could work outon the back of an envelope thatthey would save the cost of install-ing the system out of wastedphone calls within six or sevenmonths!'

He also warned dealers not toplay their stock so close thatshops are sometimes out of stockon up to half a dozen top 20 titles."That's lost business for every-one' he said.

OK Radio Changes FormatsA lack of record company sup-port is being cited as one of thereasons behind OK Radio's deci-sion to change formats. TheHamburg -based private switchedfrom contemporary rock to con-temporary hit radio (CHR) onAugust 27.

Head of music Joerg Gueldensays that despite the station's pro-motion of rock acts, record com-panies did not buy advertisingtime on the outlet. "We haverecord subscriptions with all ofthe companies and promoters didgive some free records. However,the record companies did notshow any recognition for what wetried to do for their rock acts, whonormally don't get much airplay.We put them on our playlist, didinterviews with the artists andsponsored some of their concert.But the marketing departmentsdid not buy advertising time.

"They regularly buy ad spacein small magazines like Spa, butthey do nothing for stations thatplay their rock acts. We have morelisteners than Spa has readers.However, most companies told usthat they use radio advertising on-ly for folk music, schlager andrelated product:'

OK Radio's tempo has alsopicked up. As well as programm-ing faster songs, Guelden is play-ing songs at an increased speed:"All of our record players are pit-ched to plus three. We play aminimum of 16 titles per hour andthe DJs have been instructed toplay all of the songs, which meansthey can leave many songs afterthe bridge to avoid repetition:"

Guelden says another problemwas the station's limited technicalreach; currently it cannot bereceived in three demographicallysignificant parts of the city state.However, OK Radio will be

awarded an extra frequency forthe area by the end of this year.

The station's new 24 -hour pro-gramme is presented live from05.00-02.00 daily. The remainingthree hours is pretaped. All musicprogramming is done using Se-lector.

Guelden says three playlists arenow in use The A list gets fourplays per day, the B list two, andthe C list one. There are also up toIS hits in regular rotation.

"The tracks we now play rangefrom Susanne Vega's Tom'sDinerand Depeche Mode to MC Ham-

Although all musically thema-tic evening programmes have been

dropped, the popular, talk -based'Schlag 6' magazine has been re-tained. The station's two syn-dicated programmes, Benny

Brown's .Top 40 AmericanCountdown' and the 'EurochartHot 100 Singles', are broadcasteach weekend.

Although OK Radio's Ws willonly have regular slots during theafternoon and evening, Gueldensays there will be no reduction inthe station's personnel.

Second Private StationFor Schleswig-Holstein

by Paul Andrews

Schleswig-Holstein, Germany'snorthernmost state, is to get its se-cond private radio station. Kiel -based Radio Eins plans to go onair statewide in the second half of1991, following final approvalfrom the regional media licensingauthority, ULM, in a decisiondelayed since February due to aprocedural dispute.

The principal backer of the newstation is Kiel construction firmBIG-Anlagen. Together with a

number of private individuals, itis a partner in the companySchleswig -Holstein -Funk whichholds a 49.9% stake in RadioEins.

The other main shareholder

(25%) is Schamoni Medien, pa-rent company of Berlin privateHundert, 6. The station is headedby Horst Jenckel of BIG-Anlagenand Hundert, 6 MD UlrichSchamoni.

Jenckel describes Radio Bins asa 'family station', and expects it toappeal primarily to the over -30s.A high proportion of Germanmusic is planned, as is "a broadspectrum of oldies and ever-greens".

Radio Bins will find itself indirect competition with the regi-on's existing private, RSH (RadioSchleswig-Holsteink although thisfavours a CHR/AC format target -led at an younger audience

RTL Adds New Elements To A Winning FormulaRTL, France's leading radio sta-tion for the past nine years, hasopted not to make any majorchanges to its new programmeschedule, however, it has introduc-ed several new elements, includinga 'musical evening' which featuresa show devoted to CD tracks.

Jean-Pierre Du.eaux, directorof artistic services: "We decidedto introduce 'Generation Laser'after looking at sales figures

which show that there is a pheno-menon surrounding CD. 'Genera-tion Laser' allows us, through amodern and contemporary tool,to broadcast all types of music Italso includes a CD chart, whichenables us to be 15 days ahead ofthe official album chart!'

The chart is compiled by themagazine CD Mag and is basedon sales at various retailers, in-cluding the Virgin Megastore inParis. The show, which is hostedby Nagai, also features segmentscalled CD Of The Day, CDDiscovery, CD Classic, CD Con-cert and CD Bonus.

'Generation Laser' makes upthe first section of FtTL's musicblock, which runs for five hoursfrom 19.00 to 24.00. The second

'Classic Rock' is broadcast at21.00-22.00 and features vintagerock, while 'Contents', which isaired at 22.15-24.00, is devoted tomusic from "yesterday, today andtomorrow", according to Das-seaux.

He says: "'Classic Rock' willhave a 701 flavour and 'Couleurs'is a review of a variety of music byZegut, who calls himself Dr Col-our. With these shows and

'Generation Laser', we can build avery strong evening of music:'

Other new elements in RTESprogramme schedule include thereinforcement of the station'smorning slot through the intro-duction of several new hosts, whowill cover such subjects such asecology, the economy and life-styks. And Brigitte Simonetta hasjoined the station's line-up ofpresenters, which includes Jean-Pierre Foucault, Patrick Sabatier,Fabricc, Philippe Bouvard andMax Meynier.

RTL 102.5 PromotesCHR FormatBergamo -based station RTL 102.5Hit Radio has launched its firstpromotion campaign since it in-troduced a CHR format two yearsago Station director ClaudioAstorri says the campaign is

designed to create a solid imagefor the station, and adds that two

new DJs have also joined - RonnieJones and Gianni de Bearadeinis.

Jones, who is well known forhis work as a TV music showpresenter for both state RAI andSilvio Berlusconi's Canal 5, willhost some newly introduced chartshows. They include 'Postal Hits',which is devoted to records chosenby listeners.

De Bearadeinis, who is alsoknown for his TV and radio ex-

perience, will be on the air daily at17.00-21.00. Astorri: "De Beara-deinis is from central Italy andwill help to increase our audiencein that area:' The station beganbroadcasting in the region inJune.

Astorri also confirms that RTL102.5 has opened a studio inMilan. "We are based 20 mileseast of the city. Artists who visitMilan usually have from twovmutes to two hours to give inter-iews to radio stations. Before we

had to pm -record interviews, butwe now have a structure wherebywe can give more airspace to artistinterviews. In turn, we can givemom publicity to record com-panies through adverts in dailypapers:'

Last month the station backedan on -air interview with ErosRamazzotti with a half -pageadvert in the leading national dai-ly newspaper La Repubblica.

RTL 102.5 has an average dailyaudience of 0.38 million accor-dingto Audiradio, but Astorri hasalways been a harsh critic of theorganisation. He is a strong ad-vocate of Datamedia, whichpublishes results for subscriberstations every three months. Thelatest Datamedia listener statisticsfor April -June 1990 give RTL102.5 a daily audience of 0.51

The station, owned by LorenzoForel, started broadcasting in1975. Its service is transmitted onone frequency signal throughoutnorthern and central Italy via theGerman ICathreim antennas. El

SCANDINAVIADoubt Over SSwedish media observers believeplans by the Swedish Broad-casting Company (SR) to com-bine local and national radio sta-tions will not eventuate, followingthe failure of several working par-ties to make detailed proposals(M&M July 28).

The reports by the working par -des were presented at the last SRboard meeting in August, but fur-ther discussion was postponeduntil the next meeting on October12. Some observers believe thisdelay is partly due to the impen-ding discussion of the commercialTV issue by the Social Democrats.

The proposal to combine thestations was put forward by thechairman of SR, Bjoern Rosen-gren. It was immediately attackedby the heads of all 25 local sta-tions and has met dogged resis-tance ever since.

Radio Gothenburg MD Gun-hille Ivarssom "Every six years orso they try to change the structure,but the point is that the reportsdid not come up with any strong,

Plan Increasesfor the next five-year period arcalready under way. It is under-stood funding of around Skr 500million (app. US$ 87 million) hasalready been requested, but observers say this figure should be atleast Skr 630 million.

PREVIEWSSINGLES

SINGLE OF THE WEEKJanet JacksonBlack Cat - A&MThe next single from the RhythmNation album could bringJackson closer than ever to thehearts of rock programmerr. Ahard rockin' beat in the mould ofJoan Joh, this track is coupled

h a funky bass and a strikingHammond organ, combining into Jackson's most relentlesstrack yet released. Co -produced by Jellybean and Jackson, thissingles sure to result in solid airplay throughout Europe.

Dario Ghanai An Emotional FishMother Nature Electra Lace Virginia East West

A dark, compelling song fromthis Irish four -piece. Currently

ne of the best guitar bandsround.

An intriguing and slowly addic-tive song from this interestingartist. A sharp voice and astrange catchy production.

Del AmitriMove Away Jimmy Blue -AMIA slow stepping guitar songwith a deceptively laid-backstart. Actually this is dramaticmusic, beutilifully mixed byJulian Mendelsohn.

MecanoLa Fueria Del Destino BING Ariola

A catchy, sensual and favour-ably childish song. A punc-tuated arrangement and a veryclinical production. Chart-bound material.

Andy WhiteI'm Only Wounded -MercuryThe New York born, now Ger-many -based, singer and pianoplayer confidently goesthrough this cheerful AlbertHammond/Diane Warren writ-ten song.

Luka BloomDeleriOuS WEA

On this song, taken from hisRiverside album, Bloom singsin a trembling voice, accom-panied only by his acousticguitar.

Monie LoveIts A Shame - Cookempo

An English girl in New York.This is light-footed, joyous rapwith a bitter sweet melodicchorus.

Zachary RichardMy Nanette - ASI1

A highly contagious and swing-ing track with an electrifyingaccordion. Really somethingdifferent with a xydeco touch.Check it out.

Jeff LynneLift Me Up - WEAOnce again the purveyor of thegreat Beatles' sound, Lynneproves his eraftmanship withexcellent harmonics andmelodies.

The Pleasure PrincipalShake Your Body Elertrola

Slightly doomy song from thisGerman outfit, reminiscent ofa rockier Sisters Of Mercy.

Jenny MorrisSaved Me - WEA

A mildly odd dance record,which uses reggae and dub dis-guised as rock. Quirky but fun.

ALBUM OF THE WEEKTitiyoTitiyo - Arista'BMGTitiyo shows herself to be ahighly talented singer on this ex-cellent LP, by delivering one ofthe most soulful things to haverun out of Sweden for a longtime.e Supported by a first-rate

:band, the LP presents a highlyvaried rgportoim. Feat urine saxophone player Manu Dibangoand percussionist Ahmadulah - Titiyo's father - best tracks in-clude Do My Thing, Body And Mind and Pews And Quiet.

The LibertiesDistracted - Chrysalis

Scottish five -piece who seem tobe the missing link betweenTexas and Suzanne Vega. Thegroup play folk and C&W, withthe emphasis on the song'sstructure Alison Macfarlaneand Richie Henderson have away of singing that excludes thetoo brutal beer anthems or theovedthe-tap sensitivity that sooften is mistaken for folk orcountry.

Leo KottkeThat's What -Private/MG

The legendary Kottke returnswith an adult -oriented albumfull of virtuoso semi -acousticmusic Within a range of in-fluences, varying from funk tocountry, Kottke manages tokeep a certain unity in his craftyapproach. Essential sounds forlate -night programmers.

The Men TheyCouldn't HangThe Domino Club - &Narrate

The Men who gave us greatsongs like The Green Fields OfDgmee stick to their roots ontheir new album. With the helpof the Wonderstuff's Martin"fiddley" Bell, the band havecome up with another batch offolly pop songs in a rock & rollsetting. Joy, anger and sadnessmix perfectly on this collectionof instant sing

The Luke LP feat.The 2 Live CrewBanned In The USA - Bee

As a fierce attack aimed atthou who tried to stop theCrew, this album is more of arap sound documentary than aproper album.

and, ofThere are radio

flashes, rants course,loads of obligatory four letterwords. Hit singles like Me SoHorny are missing, but this isstill an album worth listeningto, if only because of the sub-ject the Crew are addressing.

Liz TorresThe Queen Is In The House .fire

Classy dance music from thisextravagant house diva. Herunsual voice, combined withaddictive grooves, is really donejustice by Jessie Jones who pro-duced and co -wrote most of thematerial. Check out Payback IsA Bitch, If U Keep It Up LaveDm/Potion and Friends.

NelsonAfter The Rain - DGC

This LIS five piece are frontedby Matthew and Gunnar Nel-son, identical twin sons of thelate country -rocker RickyNelson. Their debut album isdominated by hook -heavy hardrock with emotional lyrics,mainly written by bothbrothers. Marc Tanner and Da-vid Thoener produced. TryMore than Ever and I Can'tHardly Wait.

SPOTLIGHTLiving Colour

Living Colour's OctoberEuropean tour, promoting

their new Epic album'Time's up: is the latest

stage of a long-termcampaign to break the

US -based band this side ofthe Atlantic. Chris White

looks at the group'ssuccess in the US andtalks to CBS about its

plans for the new LP, andthe first single, 'Type:

n the US, Living Colour havewon various awards includinga Grammy for Hard Rock

Performance a Best New Ame-rican Band citation in the 1989Rolling Stone readers poll, threeMTV awards and Best New Bandin the International Rock Awards.

The group's first album, Vivid,which was released in May 1988,reached no. 6 on the Billboardpop album chart, and has soldtwo million units worldwideGary Williams, director of artistmarketing for Europe at CBSInternational, comments: "Thealbum sold around 100.000 unitsin Europe, but in the US sales arenow more than 1.5 million.

"Much of their initial successin the US was due to the fact thatMTV gave their videos plenty ofexposure. However, MTV Europedoes not have the same kind ofimpact, which is why so muchemphasis is being put on liveperformances!"

Living Colour have previouslyplayed selected European dates

but their new tour, which opens inthe UK on October 6, includesGermany, France Italy andSwitzerland. "They will becoming several days prior to thetour to do promotion for thealbum, and interviews are current.ly being set up.

"The band also played two UKdates in August, the ReadingFestival and the Marquee Club inLondon. During that visit they did55 interviews with representativesfrom key European press andradio outlets, who were flown tothe UK. The radio interviewsincluded WDR, HR and SDR inGermany, The Voice (Denmark),Rock Cafe (Italy) and CountdownRadio in Holland:'

Williams adds: "Living Colourhave been in and out of Europeseveral times this year, and they

are very much a long-term projectfor Epic Their music is not soeasy to get an the radio because itis so hard sounding, which is whywe want to gel them to Europe asmuch as passible They have agreat stage act and once peoplehave seen them, then their po-tential for success is enormous!'

Guitarist Muen Skillings says ofthe new album: "The only pres-sure was to make an album wecould be proud of - if radio orvideo did not play it we could stillget on stage look each otherhonestly in the eye and be proudof what we did!'

The other band members areCorey Glover on lead vocals,Vernon Reid on guitar andWilliam Calhoun on drums. 0

Current album: 009 lasVegas, a double album of B-sides plus new and unreleasedsongs

Tour UK arena tour thismonth, to be followed by nineEuropean club and theatreshows in Holland, Germanyand Spain

Despite Deacon Blue's spectacu-

lar UK success since they crackedthe top 10 with Real Gone Kid in1988, the speed with which FourSongs By &pharaoh & David

(EP) has shot up the charts hassurprised even CBS. "They'vedone no promotion or interviewsand the video doesn't even featurethe band!' says international ma-nager Mark Tattersall.

He adds: "Once you've got aDeacon Blue fan you don't losethem!' Hence the release thismonth of Doh Las Vegas, adouble album collection of earlierB-sides, demos and speciallycommissioned new songs.

Tattersall says he expects theEP's success in Europe to boostsales of the band's first twoalbums rather than 008 LasVegas. Deacon Blue will recordtheir third studio album thisautumn.

Euro releases: La Culpa FurDel Cha-Cha-Cha will bereleased this autumn inFrance. Other countries stillbeing considered

Gabinete Caligari are one ofSpain's most popular rock bandsand Privado is their second LPfor EMI Hispavox. It was launch-ed Iasi October with a special con-cert on the company's grounds,which was broadcast live by radiostation Cadena SER.

The launch was backed by anaggressive radio, print and mer-chandising campaign in majorSpanish cities. Live performancesduring top variety and pop showson state -run TVE I and TVE 2were complemented by interviewsfor radio and national magazines.

La Culpa Fue Del Cha-Cha-Chahas sold 10.000 copies and thealbum has almost reached doubleplatinum status (180.000 units).The group's first three albumswith independent labels averagedsales of 30.000 to 40.000 units.Their debut album with EMI,Camino Soria, achieved doubleplatinum sales.

I keep hearing rumours thatreggae is due for a comeback

and will replace hip -hop and rapas next year's dance music Well,if you look at the airplay chartsthere's quite a few sneaking inthere, what with Aswad's Next ToYou, Mari Priest's Close To Youand the ever present UB40 withKingston Town. Must say, itwould make a nice change and it'scertainly radio friendly.

Mind you, doesn't seem there'sgoing to be much chance of mystation starting up a reggae show.It's budge/ time at the momentand all the senior managementare busy drawing up plans for nextyear. It's a tense time for all of us.My mole upstairs (fumy how themanagement are always upstairsand we tars are always in the base-

ment) tells me there are all sorts ofrumours going around about ourstation adopting a format! Theyhaven't decided which yet (as longas it isn't Chmban!).

Mom news on the Gulf Crisis.Spain's Radio Exterior has begunto air a special night-time pro-gramme to give moral support tothe Spanish crew on board thethree Spanish warships sent to thePersian gulf. The 15 -minute pro-gramme includes general informa-tion, defence ministry news andcalls from the sailors' families.The airwaves must be getting pret-ty choc-a-bloc out there by now!

Next month I am off to Stock-holm for the opening of theSkivAltademien megastore, whichcoincidm with the mighty JanetJackson's performance in the city.There are all sorts of rumours thatshe might actually be at theceremony.

Actually, a lot seems to be hap-pening music wise in Scandinaviaat the moment. I understandSweden's finest heads -of -hair Eu-rope am back in are studio in theUS, and that the Sisters of Merryhave just spent eight months in thestudio in Denmark, and No,way's golden boys A -Ha will

ham a new album out soonest.Some chart trivia for you now.

In Finland they've done a surveyof how many times various actstopped the Finnish nationalcharts between 1954 and 1987.The Beatles head the list. Theirsingles and EPs reached no 1

32 times, followed by local acts Ka-tri Helena and Irwin Goodman (29each) and then Elvis Presley (21).

And so la the anniversaries forthis week: happy 10th anniversaryto Geffen Records on September22, and happy birthday to JoanJett, 30 on the same day. BruceSpringsteen is 41 on September 23and on September 25 it will be 10years since Led Zeppelin's JohnBonham died. 15 years earlier,Barry McGuire's Eve Of Destruc-tion reached no. 1 in the US.Bryan Ferry is 45, and OlirieNewton John is 42 on September26, and Robbie Shakespeare is 37on September 27. And talking ofLed Zeppelin, what appropriatetiming Atlantic has in bringingout a couple of compilations.

Talent For Autumn l990 -Arcing For Crossover SuccessIn 1989, Swedish band

Roxette were one of thebiggest internationalsuccess stories of the

year. Here, David Rowleylooks at some of the

Scandinavian acts comingthrough hard on their

heels, and aiming to makea European breakthrough

this autumn.

Matchstick SunVoted best newcomer at the lastNorwegian Music Awards, BMGAriola Norway act MatchstickSun operate in an area inhabited

in the UK by groups like TheStone Roses and The House OfLove. The band's latest albumFlowergnound said around 12.000and was released throughoutScandinavia, as the new albumBahl -Bitchy, to be released in

September, will be. The band whocite The Kinks as a major in-fluence recently played theCopenhagen Music Seminar andwill appear at the BU Festival inDublin in October.

lave ShopSigned to recently revampedHarsh iodic Garden Records,

Love Shop are one of the more in-teresting bands to come out of thecountry this year. The debut singleEn Nat Buyer Del Somemr andalbum Love Shop have beencritically extremely well receivedand plans are under way to re-record them in English. With astrongly guitar -based sound,reminiscent of some of Scotland'sPostcard label acts of the early80s, and produced by bandmember and Lars HUG producerHilmer Hassig, Love Shop areworth looking out for.

Mane BoelPrevious Music & Media Scan-dinavian specials have pointed toHanne Boel as a talent to watchand those predictions are startingto come true. Her second albumDark Passion has already spawn-ed one monster Danish single in IWanna Make Love To You andthe phenomenal success in Den-mark of this album, with 150.000sales, is spreading. The single wasat no. 3 in the Swedish charts andBoel has notched up gold albumstatus in Sweden (50.000) and10.000 in Norway, where the re-cord has just bees released. Med-

ley Denmark has done a licencedeal for the rest of Europe withMetronome and an album andsIngle will be issued around now.

Titiyo

Neneh Cherry's half sister Titiyois another bright contender tocross over in a big way internati-

onally. With singles such as AfterThe Rain already well received inthe UK, the Swedish IndustryAward for Best Newcomer underher belt, and with several hits inSweden, things look good. Thenmv single Flowers, her fourth,has just been released. Her debutalbum Titiyo comes out in Sep-tember on the ground -breakingTelegram label through BMGAriola and three of her four hitsingles are on the album.

Savage RaseProbably the mast enigmaticpresence on the Danish scene for

Anisette 6/ Savage Rose

more than two decades, SavageRose seem to have been able tostay true to the ideals of the 60ssince their 1968 debut on Polydor.Throughout their 15 -album histo-ry the band, fronted by the hip-pyish Anisette, have constantlyexplored all areas of music in-cluding some collaborations inthe early 70s with jazz sax-ophonist Ben Webster. In short,

Sgreess

Savage Rose were exploring worldmusic before the term was in-vented. The new album GadensDronning is their first LP forRCA and is due for release inSeptember.

Simmess

Simeess am without doubt one ofthe bands to watch, being able.tocross over into the wider interna-tional market just as they havevery capably moved from theiralternative underground mots inCopenhagen to being one of Den-mark's most interesting bands.Their current album The Housewas released earlier this year inDenmark and has since beenreleased in the rest of Scan-dinavia. German and Australianrelease is due soon andBMG/Ariola expects many otherterritories to follow. The firstsingle from the album, God'sGarden, was on DanmarksRadio's singles chart for 10 weeks.And the second, The World IsFull Of Lies, was equally wellreceived. The next single from theband is Talk Talk.

Gigi HamiltonAs lead singer of first Freestyleand then Style, Gigi Hamilton hassold more than one million

Aialbums, achieved a string of hugehits in Sweden and topped the USdance charts. The CBS album Joy

And Pain is her first solo LP sinceleaving Style and expectations amhigh. The lyrics are in English andtwo of the tracks on the album arewritten by Phil Ramacon, whowrote Buffalo Stance for NenehCherry.

The Glorious BankrobbersAlthough released last autumn onPlanet Records, the GloriousBankmbbers album DynamiteSex Doze is worth checking backon, as the band are on the verge ofsigning a major US deal. Playingthe same brand of 70s style rootsrock so beloved of just about

'everybody from Guns N' Rosesand The Quireboys through to theThe Black Crowes, the groupcould quite happily he interna-tional contenders. Described byone magazine as "one of the mostpromising Swedish hard rockbands in a long time", and havinggained considerable exposurethrough TV and a support slotwith Yngwie Malmsteen, they justmight take everybody by surprise

Rockers By ChoiceA Danish tap act signed to Virgin,Rockers By Choice have receivedthe benefit of excellent press Mtheir home country and their lastdebut album was certified silverwith sales of 25.000. The newsingle, a cover of the old Gasolinhit Rabalderstrade, was releasedin August and the album Vi ErGenerationen Der Ma Ikke Fejle(We Are The Generation WhoMust Not Fail) is released onSeptember 25. The five man bandare moving away from a straightrap approach by bringing in

elements of soul, rock and thrashmetal. They will be showing offthe change in style when they em-bark on a two month tour fromthe beginning of November with afull backing band instead of tapesas they had previously done.

Virgin expects the product to bereleased throughout Scandinavia.

Tommy Thysper And The KidsIbung And Rockin' Crazy, thesurprise Swedish hit for 14 -yearold Tommy Thysper earlier thisyear, led to him becoming a mediadarling in Sweden. And his recordlabel Planet is hoping for similarsuccess with the album of thesame name, a collection of hard -edged pop rock produced by Thys4per's brother Mark who, with abunch of other mid -20s rockveterans, make up The Kids.

DancedanceWith sales on their previous twoalbums of around 200.000, Swe-den's hancedanee look set to con-

tinue this success with the for-thcoming album Mang due at theend of September. The meanlyreleased single Another PerfectDay has received good reviewsand CBS is confident of interna-tional action.

Nils LangrenA jaa/pop crossover in theclassic sense,,Swede Lenten hastoured over the years wish suchluminaries as The Crusaders and

Michael Ruffin. The new albumFollow Your Heart is described byhis label Caprice as the mostmainstream of his six LPs to date,going from solid soul to danceand ballads. Comparisons havebeen made between his voice andTerence Trent d'Arby. Capricehave solid interest for the US,Germany and Scandinavia. Thesingle is All We Need Is Time. 0

Syndication - A Fragmented MarketNational and international competition

With local andcommercial radio stilllargely in their infancy

across Scandinavia, theregion's syndication

business itself remains acottage industry.

Paul Andrews looks atwhat locally produced

shows are on offer.

Denmark, Norway, Sweden andFinland all have their syndicatedprogramme producers and sup-pliers. But the majority remainshoestring operations, sometimesjust one-man businesses. And,given the language differences, ashow made in Norway will not besuitable for, say, Finland.

Often, a group of local radioprofessionals will put together ashwa, in their spare time, thenhawk it round stations in othercities. Typical of this way ofoperating is Norway's 'Euro

Show', launched this August andcarried on 30 of the country'slarger commercial stations, in-cluding Radio I in Oslo andRadio P3 in Bergen. A weeklytwo-hour programme based onUK and US chart music, it is pro-duced by a four -man partnershipheaded by Radio l's SteinJohnsen and British DJ AndySheldon, formerly of London'sCapital Radio, who tapes it in theUK, in English.

"To get a Norwegian touch, Ido a 10 -minute piece about themusic scene in Norway:' explainsJohnsen. "We supply it free to thestations, in return for taking theiradvertising time for the twohours:'

While not too ambitious, a

tight, fast-moving production like'Euro Show' does fulfil a need inthe Norwegian market. "Theream still many stations here thatare not as professional as they

would like to be' says Johnsen."This is a professional show, pro-duced with an engineer from BBCRadio I who we hire We get themusic before it gets to the shops inthe outermost parts of Norway, soit's fresh.

"Then they get interviews withartists done by Andy in London,and which I do with Norwegianartists. And as a national show,we can provide good prises fromsponsors They're all things sta-tions which aren't in a very goodfinancial position cannot do!'

Competing with 'Euro Show'for airtime in Norway arc pro-ductions like 'The Hit Factory',made by Tony Burton and alsoin English, and David Fishel's'Jazz Scene'. Fishel is actuallyPolyGram Norway's head ofpromotion, and started produc-ing the show, now aired on 19stations, in his home studio lastJanuary as a hobby, and to raise

,aeXertisemer11,

jazz's profile on Norwegianradio. He supplies the show freem stations, and although a localcomputer company helps covercosts, it remains a non -profit -seeking venture.

A mom businesslike approachcomes from those local stationsmoving into syndication. In Den-mark, Copenhagen local RadioUptown has set up a syndicationarm, CD1, which produces the na-tional version of the Coca-ColaEurochart Hot 100, as well as spe-cials such as a recent three-hourhistory of the Rolling Stones, 'It'sOnly Rock 'N' Roll'. Aired on 24stations nationally, this again wasoffered on a barter basis, withsponsorship from Coca-Cola anddaily newspaper BT.

While all deal with Scandina-via, the larger international pro-gramme syndicators - WestwoodOne, Rock Over London - am stillnot major forces in the region.

sonetIn Scandinavia

THE MAJORINDEPENDENT

One of the most successful is

MCM, its efforts spearheaded bythe Coca-Cola Eurochart.

GM Doug Adamson believesthe region does offer great poten-tial. "Syndication is important tostimulate the local industry - itprovides the right programmingenvironment to be able to sell adson a local basis. Remember, Den-mark has only had local radio forthree years, Norway for 18

months; these stations need goodinternational programmes to pro-mote the medium of radio to localadvertisers!'

Sweden, with no commercialradio, remains the odd man out.Adamson: "We can't place pro-grammes in Sweden yet. A bartershow like the 'Coca-Cola Euro-chart', with its name and fourCoca-Cola ads is still out of thequestion there'

Meanwhile, Finland's market isdominated by a single name, PynOy. As well as acting as agent tothe country's 60 commercial sta-tions for, among others, the BBC,Westwood One and MCM, PynOy produces a wide variety ofprogramming.

SCANDINAVIA

MD Petri Nitwit "This sum-mer we have a 40 -pan series onFinnish rock musician Juice

Dowd F.JrI started .0 0

series for children, sponsored byan amusement park and runningat 18 stations, We have also

Leskinen, called 'Juice 40', runn- distributed concerts like 'Madon'ing on 15 stations, and ever)2hing eta Live From Barcelona andfrom a fishing report to a special 'The Wall' from Berlin!'

As throughout Scandinavia,banes deals am the rule, with PynOy taking two minutes advertis-ing per hour. For direct sales,

prices vary from USE 100 to USE200 per hour, depending on thesin of the station.

In return comes the kudos ofbig name associations. Niemi cites'The Lost Lennon Tapes, forwhich he produced a Finnish ver-sion on behalf of Westwood One:"It's exactly the kind of pro-gramme that can be promoted bystations hew - something reallyspecial that would be completelyout of the question to producethemselves. It's great for theirprofile'

With the market very much toitself - most competition comesfrom a few producers of singleshows - Pyn Oy is in a position toconsider and test new ideas. "Thewhole business is so fresh;' saysNiemi - in many ways summingup the whole Scandinavian situa-tion. "At the moment there is a lotof demand. We am doing as muchas we can get involved in - it'squite easy to think of ideas and letthem develop!'

Commercial Radio And The Advertising Market MEDIA

It's survival of the fittestin Norway and Denmark

as too many stationsbattle for too little

advertising. But two yearson from deregulation,

Chris Fuller findsadvertisers' attitudes

are softening towardsthe potential of

commercial radio, andrevenues are on the up.

In Denmark, Peter Brick, MDof Danish advertising agencyRadio & TV Booking, predicts

the national radio advertising

market will be worth Dkr 100million (app. US$ 16.6 million) in1990, double last year, and doublehis 1990 estimate for TV.

But though, by any standards,this may appear a healthy in-crease, Brick says the advertisinguptake has been "far slower thanwe anticipated" and totals are"way below what we perceive tobe the potential here.

"Business has picked up mar-kedly since the summer holidays,but we have to run faster. One ofthe problems we are facing is thatcompanies who are having suc-cess advertising on the radio areomitting to publicise it becausethey want the market to them-selves. Then potential new clientsare skeptical because we have noexamples of success to showthem!'

Convincing the market

Radio & TV Booking concen-trates its selling on a 'Radio Den-mark' list of 43 of the country'slarger stations (them am around3001, all of which are allowed sixminutes advertising per hour.Each station on the list, whichspans the country, is pledged tocarry out detailed audienceresearch at Mast twice a year.

Brick believes advertisers'doubts will "disperse with timeand patience", but as many of

Denmark's healthier stations arestill operating only at subsistencelevel, there are fears that this mayhappen too Mtn

In the Copenhagen market,Andrew Thompson, business

manager of Radio Uptown, oneof the leading commercials, saysad revenues are up 20% on 1989and predicts a similar rise in 1991:"I think the trend is healthy andwe are relatively happy. We have a50-50 mix of local to nationaladvertisers like Burger King andCoca-Cola, with rates which takeinto account advertisers' catch-ment areas:'

Uptown, which gathers 73.000daily listeners (Gallup) with anAC/top 40 format, holds se-

minars for major customergroups and agencies to get theradio message across. Thompson:"When we talk to the media plan-ners it's on a very long-term basis.We are looking to get involved intheir strategies for next year, orthe year after that.

'The key is to make themrealise the benefit of radio as asupplementary service, as part ofa three-dimensional ad campaignon TV, press and radio:' Thomp-son dooes not perceive nationalcommercial TV channel TV2 as agenuine threat but says, "I do,however, feel we have far more ofa struggle gathering advertisersthan TV. Visuals are far easier toperceive and so easier to sell:'

In common with neighbouringNorway, Thompson believes thenumber of Danish commercialstations is way too many: "Afterderegulation every man and hisdog was given a station and thisslowed the emergence of a com-mercial sector. Now we are seeingthat the grass -roots union -ownedoperations are beginning to foldand the business is becomingmore homogeneous. It's all forthe good. I can't see the Danishmarket sustaining more than 50stations long-term, with a max-imum of five in Copenhagen:'

While Uptown produces the

majority of its own ads, at Oslo'sleading commercial, Radio 1, MDJon Morten Melhus is attemptingto cut down on in-house produrylion as this is "taking our eyeaway from the core business".

The CHR-based Radio I, whichclaims a 137.000 (25f,0) daily au -

Radio I MD Jon Morten Melbas

dience in the Oslo area, will, ac-cording to Melhus, bring in Nkr12-13 million (app. US$ 2-2.15million) in advertising revenuesthis year, up some 3056 on 1989.Owned by 55 private sharehol-ders, Radio 1 accounts for some505/o of the total radio spend inOslo (45 stations). According toNorway's biggest radio sales com-pany, Salgavdlengen, the Norwe-gian market will be worth Nkr 100million this year, up 305/o on 1989.

Noting the "steady ascent" ofthe market, Melhus cites Coca-Cola, Toyota, Shell, Esso,

Pioneer, Filmnet and Air Europeamong Radio Es nationalcustomers: "I think radio hasfound a place here because it is sonew and appeals to the creativeminds in the advertising industry.We encourage this, of course, andaward prizes to the agencies eachmonth for what we judge as themost original and creative spots!'

The vast majority of Norway's400 -odd commercial channels willdie, says Melhus, and long-termthe market could sustain "two orthree" stations in each of the ma-jor cities. One fillip for the in-dustry is next year's likely reduc-tion of the government levy onradio advertising from 166 to

56o, according to Melhus "a farmore realistic figure which willtake away a big financial burden".

Aside from gaining ground inits own right, Melhus believesradio is poaching advertisingfrom print. The commercial TVs,TV Norge and TV3, have been"too busy changing their pro-gramming he ratings battles" togain commitment from the advenlining industry, more channels areon the horizon and stiffer com-petition with radiO may result.

Sdg Haug, media director atSalgavdlengen, which liaises bet-ween agencies like McCannErickson,:Ted Bates and Young &Rulikam and around 130 of Nor-way's more significant stations,believes growth could be fasterbut the 'ultra conservative at-

titude of many companies is prov-ing difficult to crack: "We will getthere. It's easy to forget that thismedium is still only two years oldin Norway!'

Finland's commercial radio in-dustry, which had a four-year starton Denmark and Norway, showeda 456o growth in radio advertisingin 1989, up to Fmk 175 million(app. US$ 44 million). Compiledby Radiobooking, a Finnish saleshouse, based on the net receipts of49 stations, this total includes aMO% rise for national sales (toFmk 32 million, 186o of the total).

Radiobooking MD HeikkiRotko predicts that the marketwill jump again by 376o this year:"It is a thriving market! He addsthat the government's careful ap-proach to way licences were issuedfrom 1985, which resulted in a

gradual increase in the number ofstations, has "benefited the in-dustry enormously".

Meanwhile, the odd man out,Sweden, is still awaiting radio andTV deregulation, though leadingstations such as Gothenberg'sCity 103 are hopeful of a changein the media laws before the endof the year and make no secret oftheir commercial ambitions. "Weare gearing to become a commer-cial concern by 1995' says pro-gramme director Rolf Legefors."But we are under no illusionsthat it will be easy. It may welltake time for the market to res-pond and for us to become fullyself-sufficient. We are well awareof what has happened in Norwayand Denmark:'.

SCANDINAVIA

In The Land Of The Midnight SunIn the far north of

Europe, the sun shinescontinuously on isolatedcommunities for weeks

at a time in highsummer, while the

long cold winters arespent in seeminglyunending darkness.

Paul Andrews looks athow the region's radio

programmers cope withsuch seasonal variations.

MIMowns and villages aroundthe Arctic Circle tend to beclose-knit communities. Such

isolated locations and scatteredpopulations, together with the exnames of summer and winter,mean the area's local radio sta-tions have a specific role to fulfil.

Winter nights

During the long night, Icelandicstate broadcaster RUV plays an

important role in keeping nationalmorale high, and the populationin touch with one another. Headof entertainment Olafar Thor-darssom "From about October itgets very gloomy here. Even whenthem is no snow, it rains a lot andit's very dark.

"We have to keep people happywhen they can't go out. You haveto be quite aware of what is beingplayed - nothing too depressing.It's quite difficult to do, more away of how things are presented,rather than just not playing theblues. We play a lot of that sort ofmusic, which is popular, but wetry not to make the people sadwith it!'

A crucial part of this psycho-logical exercise is letting listenersuse the radio as a means of self-expression. RUV runs a half-hournightly phone-in all year round inwhich listeners can sound offabout any issue, from political de-bates to personal quarrels. Thor -damson claims it is one of the

station's most important shows,"the way of letting out their feel-ings when they are shut up".

But high above the Arctic Circlein Norway, at NRK's Troms(Tromso) opt -out, editor -in -chief

claims a 50% daily mach among apotential 150.000 audience for itstwo -and -a -half hours of program-mes. Although based on local in-formation, music plays a part tortLocal folk and classical ensembles

"In the winter, when people need to feelcloser, we tend to transmit even morelocal information,"

Jorma Yypanaho

Arnt Rivold does not find the ex-tremes affect programmes verymuch. "We have profile basedvery much on news, and of coursethe winter darkness and summermidnight sun are part of that. Butwe are so used to it, possibly wetake it too much for granted:'

Close-knit communities

Even so far north, finding liste-ners is no problem. NRK Troms

in particular are likely to get an

But Rivold insists this does notimply insularity. "The pop musicplayed on the national channels isjust as popular here To be a littlepretentious, we are less isolatedbecause we are so isolated. Peoplemake a real effort to keep up withthe European scene actuallybecause they are so far from thecentre of it!'

And because Tromso com-

Owsuvrses0

munities remain close-knit, evenin the depths of winter, the radiois perhaps more important in pro-viding that link with the rest ofthe world than as a substitute forlocal social contact.

In Finland, it is much the samestory. Private station Radio Megaserves Oulu, a city of 100.000 peo-ple at the northern end of theGulf Of Bothnia, plus 50.000 inits hinterland. The station lies on-ly 2W kilometres outside the Arc-tic Circle but despite midwintertemperatures of -20C or less, it

has far from a captive, house-bound audience.

MD Jorma Yypanaho: "Peoplestay inside, but they are notnecessarily at home. They go toconcerts, theatres, restaurants andice rinks, or they carry on withtheir hobbies. Even in winter wevisit many places with the station.We have a car which goes out intothe city and sends back reports:'

Mega's programme is about504/a music, with over half of thatFinnish and a heavy concentra-tion on oldies, although it alsocarries two local charts and the

SCANDINAVIA

Coca-Cola Eurochart. Like othernorthern stations it claims highpenetration, reaching as many as901/4 of its potential audience overa week.

The community link is perhaps -one mason for this high listener -ship. The high proportion ofspeech programmes is devotedmainly to local news and sport."In the winter, when people needto feel closer, we tend to transmiteven more local information:'says Yypanaho.

Summer presents rather diffe-rent expectations from radio.Yypanaho: "When the sun is

shining 24 hours we don't need toprovide such a heavy programmeIn Finland, it's very common forpeople to have summer cottagesoutside the city, and almost every-body has the radio on them andwhen they're driving out in the car.

"It's a good time for listening.They have more leisure time, so wetry to give them more entertain-ment, of all kinds. People love todiscuss things in the summertime,so we have phone-ins, and we alsosend our radio car out into the

countryside!'Further north, in Tromso,

NRK's Rivold senses similarchanges, but reacts to them less."Listening patterns do change inthe summer. But we have noseasons for programmes, we justtry to have a slightly lighter profilewith more entertainment, and notso much seriousness early in themorning which is our prime timer

And the entertainment has togo on far into the night, as Thor-

darsson explains: "We have toremember that people may not goout until midnight. Many go tobars and -clubs, so there aren't asmany listeners, but we have toremember that we are entertainingpeople who may go out with theirradios:' In the 'frozen north's'brief respite, they may actually betuning into the summer hits onthe beaches at three in themorning... 0

Inspired by the internationalacclaim heaped upon The Sugar-canes, Iceland's most successfulexport, domes of proficientIcelandic rock and pop bands jos-tle for stage -space in the city'sclutch of small venues.

Local Product

The Sugarcubes remain firmlyIceland -based, despite their con-tinued cult success in the US, UKand across the Continent. Overthe past few years the band haveencouraged and developed localtalent via their own multimediacompany, Bad Taste, the moststaunchly independent of theisland's half -dozen establishedrecord labels and also a publisherof poetry and novels.

Recent Bad Taste releases fromthe likes of Reptile, Ham andBless have gleaned considerablemusic press coverage, if not radioairplay, on both sides of theAtlantic. In Europe, Bad Tasteoutput is via UK independentWorkers' Playtime it has a USdistribution agreement withRough toads and is currently in-specting options for distributionand licensing in other parts of theworld.

In outspoken style Einar Orn,Sugarcubes singer and drivingforce behind Bad Taste, decriesthe general image of Iceland as anobscure and culturally -barren out-post: "People don't regard us asliterate or even with brains. As weare on the outskirts of what issupposed to be Western civilisati-on we do not get taken seriously!'

Over half of Iceland's popula-tion is concentrated in and aroundReykjavik, and Om observes"bands can get very popular byplaying cover versions at dances.But if you insist on playing youroriginal music, as The Sugarcubesalways have, you don't get to playthese dances or get popular. Wetook another route. When we gotfamous abroad we immediatelygot famous in Iceland!'

It is a point refuted by Olafer

The Sugarcubes' Einar 0m, speakingduring Or recent Copenhagen Musk

Seminar

Thordarsson, RUV head of mu-sic: "We see it as a function of thestate channels to support nationaltalent so we give all types ofIcelandic music, from folkthrough jazz to rock and pop, agood deal of attention. We regu-larly record and air sessions withlocal groups and visiting Musi-cians, which the private stationsrarely dot'

While Channel 1 concentrateson news and 'high culture', Chan-nel 2 is more youth -orientedthough the target audience re-mains broad. Tune in during theday and you will be as likely tohear Louis Armstrong as

Madonna.Thordarsson: "The format has

broadened in recent years, aimingto pull in everyone from teenagersto over -60s!' The change is partlyin response to the private stations,which target more tightly, thoughThordarsson observes that "in acountry the sine of this you haveto keep changing to keep the au-dience interested. They will justswitch to something else if theyget bored - and the population isso small we cannot afford to loseanyone'

The national channels operateon tight budgets, funded by amonthly tax on radio and TV

owners plus, controversially,advertising, Bjarni Thorsson,programme director of popularcommercial channel Stgarnan(The Star) and national celebrityvia his TV show 'Pop and Coke',regards RUV's advertising rightsas "grossly unfair". The Star'sparent company, the IcelandicBroadcasting Corporation (IBC),is lobbying parliament in an at-tempt to get the laws changed.

"The radio market is over-crowded here anyway and RUVhas an unfair advantage over thecommercials;' says Thorsson."Everybody who owns a radio setis taxed around Ike 2.000 permonth (app. US$ 34) to fund thepublic channels, even if they don'tlisten to them. And then they stealour potential customers by under-cutting our rates. They have it

both ways!'

Commercial Radio

Stgarnan, a CHR/hard rockstation targetting 15-25 year -oldsM and around Reykjavik, plussister station Bylgjan (Thean AC outlet aimed at 25-50 year -olds across the west half of thecountry, are widely regarded asIceland's most popular privatesthough official ratings are notavailable. They claim to pullweekly audiences of up to 70.000,which in Thomson's view is "wayahead" of the other notable pri-vates Adal Stodin and FM 95.7.

The two IBC stations, whichalso operate the country's solecommercial TV station (Stud 2),feature around 85% internationalto 15% national music and Sharea slick, tightly-playlisted style ow-ing much to an ongoing con-sultancy agreement with notedLos Angeles -based programmer,Jeff Pollack.

"We tend to play moreIcelandic -language material inhigh summer and at Christmas,which is when the new records arereleased here", says Thorsson,citing The Sugarcanes, Stud-menn, Ny Dansk, Stjomin andcontroversial 'troubador' BubbiMorthens among the most regu-larly playlisted on Stgarnan.

Thorsson: "We are certainlysupportive of Icelandic music -there area number of good bandscoming through - but young peo-ple's tastes here are wholly inter-national and we must reflect that.The Star is very CHR, very top 40,

though against that we also mix ina good deal of hard rock from thelikes of Motley Crue, AC/DC,Whitesnake and The Choirboys!'

The station also operates itsown top 30 - a curious hybrid bas-ed on listener popularity, nationalsales and DJ preference, whichairs every weekend. The country'sonly other chart of note is analbum sales listing in the DVListen newspaper.

In contrast to the fast-movingstar, Bylgjan has a 'mom talk, lessmusic' catchline, with more exten-sive news and sports coverage anda ballad -oriented output with PhilCollins, Nat King Cole, Elvis

Presley, Elton John and PaulYoung core artists.

Record labels

Thorsson believes that localrecord labels, of which the twolargest, Skifan Music (also part ofthe IBC group) and Steiner, act aslicensees for the multinationalmajor labels, "are showing muchgreater faith in home -producedmusic than they did 10 years ago.But the market is so small here

SCANDINAVIA

that it can be frustrating for

young musicians and they in-

evitably have to travel to Europeand the US, as The Sugarcubesdid, to sell large amounts ofrecords. Bubbi Morthens was thebiggest -selling local artist here lastyear and that album only made15.000, extremely small by inter-national standards!'

Further, due to stark languagedifferences between Iceland andSweden and Denmark Icelan-ders speak a far purer version ofancient None than the rest ofScandinavia - Icelandic bands farepoorly in crossing over into neigh-bouring territories, and vice versa.

Skifan Music MD and part-owner of IBC, Jon Olafsson, saysthat alongside its licensing or im-port deals with A&M, Arista,BMG/Ariola, EMI, Island, Poly.Gram and Chrysalis; the companyboasts a healthy local roster, withStjornin, Then Came The Sun,Strax and Honeymoon "all dis-playing international potential".

With total album/CD/cassettedeliveries for 1989 totalling 0.35million (there is no singles mar-ket), Olafsson says that average

Morthens, regularly plops 50

sales fora local language album isbetween 3.000 and 5.000. Goldawards are given for 3.000, pla-tinum for 6.000.

Olafsson too is tired of Ice-land's image as "a lost island atthe top of the Atlantic. TheSugarcubes did the industry a see -vice by drawing international at-

tention to what we've known allalong. This is a goldmine of greattalent and great music. It's abouttime the UK and the US stoppedbeing obsessed by what is happen-ing on their own doorstep andstarted looking around for newbands. And they should starthere.." 0
