MARKET SHARE INCREASES TO 15%

BMG France BuysIndie Vogue

by Emmanuel Legrand

BMG France has acquiredVogue, one of the last Frenchindependent production and dis-tribution companies.

The deal increases BMG'smarket share in France to 15%from 12% and moves the compa-ny from fifth to fourth positionamong the majors, ahead ofWarner Music (13%), Poly -Gram (30%), Sony Music (20%)and' EMI/Virgin (19%), accord-ing to M&M estimates.While no price has been dis-closed, estimates have variedbetween Ffr55 million (app.US$10 million) and Ffr100 mil-lion. One source says a price tagof between Ffr65-55 millionseems "realistic." Vogue grossedclose to Ffr170 million in 1991and is believed to be profitable.The deal was finalized by Vogueowner Jean-Louis Detry andBMG France president BernardCarbonez. It was widely known

that Detry had been looking forfinancial partners or to sell thecompany for some time.

Other companies were inter-ested in the deal, especiallyFNAC Music, which aggressive-ly bid against BMG for Vogue.PolyGram also considered theoffer but turned it down.

The sale will not requireapproval by the French govern-ment, says a spokesperson for theMinistry of Culture, "because it isan EC investment." It also marksthe loss of another French inde-pendent distributor following thesale of Carrere to Warner twoyears ago. The dwindling numberof independent distribution com-panies in France is viewed as"regrettable" by the Ministry ofCulture, which is said to havefavoured a Franco -French buyer.

Carbonez says Vogue was"high on the list of possible buy-outs" because of its "wonderfulcatalogue." He adds that his goal

Danish Voice Taken Off Airby Miranda Watson

Four stations controlled by Danishprivate EHR operator The Voicehave been taken off the air for onemonth for breaking the country'sban on networking.

The Voice's stations in Copen-hagen, Frederiksberg, Nwstvedand Weabd went off the air onMay 1 following a decision by theCentral Committee For LocalRadio And TV Broadcasting onApril 15. The Voice controls atotal of nine stations in Denmark.

The Voice PD Lars Kjmr isoutraged by the decision. "It's piti-ful how the government handlesthese things," he says. "They com-pletely forget about justice." Heclaims The Voice had three daysto turn in tapes for all of its fre-quencies over a two-week period."It was too little time, so some ofthe tapes were missing. The gov-ernment penalised us because ofthis," he adds.

Head of communications at thelocal radio committee HanneKiser says the organization foundthat four of The Voice's stationswere broadcasting simultaneously."The stations did not observe therules concerning the recording andstoring of all transmissions ontape," she says. "Some of the reg-istration tapes were missing andothers failed to meet the qualitystandard required by Danish law."

Despite the black -out, TheVoice has found a way to side-stepthe regulations. While not broad-casting "officially," the station hasreached an agreement with RadioCivil/Copenhagen, which broad-casts on the same frequen-cy -102.9 FM. Radio Civil haseffectively taken over The Voice'sairtime and is broadcasting theirads and programmes presented byThe Voice's DJs. A new jingle hasbeen produced to inform listenersof the move.

Says Kj2er, "It's in everyone'sinterest not to leave a frequencyhalf empty, so Radio Civil cameto our aid. We're still on -air to

serve our listeners and to honourthe advertising taken out with us,so we can pay everyone's wagesthis month. It's not a politicalgame for us, but a question of sur-vival."

However, the agreement doesnot have the approval of theCopenhagen local radio authority.Spokesperson Leif Luimsmannmaintains, "What The Voice andRadio Civil have done is illegal.Radio Civil should have applied tous first, which they didn't do." Theauthority is due to meet on May18 to discuss whether to take sanc-tions against Radio Civil. A longerban could also result for The Voicestations.

But the Voice could just be thefirst of many stations to be sanc-tioned, says minister of communi-cations Michael Petersen. "TheVoice is guilty of networking," hesays, "which in Denmark means ithas been broadcasting the sameprogrammes at the same time ondifferent frequencies. It is illegalin Denmark for local stations to dothis. Other stations are guilty ofnetworking too, and action willalso be taken against them. Danishlegislation stipulates that localradio must be local. It must broad-cast on a local basis, not a regionalone. The state-owned Danish radiois the only station that is allowedto broadcast regionally."

No action has been takenagainst other stations yet, andKjaer claims The Voice has beenmade a scapegoat. "We are thelargest private station in Denmark,so the government makes us anexample to other stations. Ourcompetitors laugh and say 'Theyhad it coming,' but what they don'trealise is that they'll be next.Radio Uptown is just as guilty ofnetworking as we are. It broad-casts on two frequencies with aone -hour delay. Think how manystations use the Coca-Cola charttoo-that's considered to be net-working here," he says.

Radio Uptown MD GlennLau Rentius sides with Kjxr, say-

BMG Gives FinancialBacking To Windham HillBertelsmann Music Group(BMG) has bought an undisclosedstake in the new music recordcompany WindhamHill Productions.

BMG's financial in-volvement in WindhamHill is part of a newjoint venture, effectiveon May 1, andannounced by BMGchairman/CEO MichaelDornemann and Wind-ham Hill president andCEO Anne Robinson.Robinson will become managingdirector under the new agreementand will continue to direct thecompany's operations from its cor-porate headquarters in Palo Alto,Calif.

BMG and Windham Hill saythe deal represents the next step ina relationship struck up back in1983. MW

ing, "I don't see anything wrongwith what The Voice is doing.They haven't committed a crime.The Voice is not networking in thesense of giant broadcasters likeFrench EHR net NRJ. Here inDenmark it's more a way of savingmoney by programming on sever-al frequencies."

Rentius adds, "The actiontaken against The Voice will makethe politicians sit up and takenotice of the problems we havewith our legislation. It's ridiculous

that the government tries to restrictmusic radio, while you can seeeverything on TV, includingpornography. I think we need toraise awareness of the problems."

The ministry of communica-tions is currently revising localradio legislation. Scheduled forautumn, the new legislation isexpected to include harsher mea-sures for stations that network.

Lagardere Merges Matra, Hachetteby Emmanuel Legrand

The uncertainty over the future ofEurope 1 Communicationsseems to have been put to rest forthe near -term following industrytycoon Jean -Luc Lagardere'sdecision to merge publishing giantHachette with defence/ telecom-munications company Matra.Lagardere was forced to restruc-ture his empire following the col-lapse of TV channel La Cinq.

Because Matra was in ahealthy financial situation,Lagardere followed "friendlypressure" from bankers and

merged the two companies inorder to avoid a possible loss ofcontrol. Instead of using a seriesof holding companies, Lagarderewill keep only one, MMB, ofwhich he and his family ownabout 10%. MMB will own 40%of the newly merged empire,which grosses over Ffr52 billionand employs over 500.000 peoplearound the world.

Non -strategic assets will besold to pay back part of Hachette'sFfr1.9 billion debt; but the mergerends for now rumours about thepossible sale of the Ffr2.2 billion(sales) company Europe I Corn-

munications, which operates radionetworks Europe 1 and Europe2, among other media assets.Hachette owns 39.8% of Europe 1Communications.

In the daily newspaper Libera-tion, Europe 1 CommunicationsGM Jean-Pierre Olannat callsEurope 1 "one of the jewels ofHachette's crown," saying that"selling it would mean suppress-ing one of Hachette's strengths."Europe l's profits reached Ffr76.2million last year.

Observers have been scepticalabout the chances of success ofsuch a "financial monopoly," as

the synergies between magazines,radio stations, telephones, mis-siles, cars and books don't seemso obvious. But it allowsLagardere to take from one area tofinance another.

Lagardere will lose the majori-ty of the company's capital withthe new structure, but still retainscontrol of the group. The Ffr30billion (app. US$5.3 billion)Hachette is believed to have lostover Ffr3.5 billion in La Cinq, andwas also seriously indebted by aseries of acquisitions in the US atthe end of the '80s.

Antwerp's Radio CentraalBegins Airing Radio 3

by.Marc Maes

Antwerp -based, private alternativemusic station Radio Centraal hasannounced that it will start re-transmitting BRTN Radio 3's sig-nal on a "comfortable frequency"in north Flanders.

The decision follows com-plaints of poor reception from lis-teners of the classical/cultural netRadio 3 in the north of Flanderssince the launch of Radio Donna(M&M, March 28) on the samefrequency for the province ofAntwerp.

The move is also aimed athighlighting the chaotic situationof Belgian media regulations,explains Radio Centraal boardmember Peter Terrijn. He says,

"If the government decides towithdraw the licence, it will beobvious where their priorities lie,"pointing to the fact that inAntwerp most of the privates haveillegally boosted their power, andeven broadcast on pirate frequen-cies.

"We conducted research intowhat frequency would be best," hesays. "We are capturing a verygood signal as our hardware willbe based at the De Singel culturalcentre, which has a high qualityantenna. The centre also helped usfinancially with the launch, onMay 6."

Terrijn adds that since thelaunch of Radio Donna, BRTNhas stopped transmitting Radio 3on its original frequency because

BMG Ariala Belgium, Kinepolis Form Soundtrack VentureThe Kinepolis Group, which comprises 71film theatres and multiplexes in six majorBelgian cities, has signed a three-year dealwith BMG Ariola Belgium.

BMG will be the exclusive supplier ofall background and intermission music

played in Kinepolis theatres. In return, BMGwill receive shop windows in Kinepolis out-lets to promote the company's film repertoire.

Says BMG Ariola marketing manager

Stef Cockmartin, "Film scores are verypopular, and labels such as RCA and MCAhave a strong catalogue in both recent andclassic filmscores, from 'Silence of theLambs to 'Citizen Kane.' We plan to add twonew releases to the existing 800 -title cata-logue, and shop windows could also becomeinstrumental in promoting other producttowards a target audience."

Kinepolis press officer Christian

Nolens says the group wants to link severalproducts with the quality image of Kinepolis.He adds, "We are preparing to release aseries of filmscore CDs with BMG. We havescheduled at least six CDs entitled 'KinepolisPresents The Best Of Film Music' to bereleased in September.

Radio Italia SMI, RAI'sRadio Verde Boost DomesticActs With Summer Contest

by. David Stansfield

Domestic talent is set for a majorsummer boost with the introduc-tion of competitions involving pri-vate national -music -only networkRadio Italia Solo Music Italianaand pubcaster Radio Verde RAI.

Radio Italid S.M.I. is backingDisco Per L'Estate-a contestorganized by the Publispei enter-tainment organization headed byCarlo Bixio and Marco Ravera.Publispei, which co -organized thisyear's San Remo Song Contestalongside Adriano Aragozzini,had staged Disco Per L'Estate inthe past, but according to RadioItalia S.M.I. GM Filippo Broglia,it had lost most of its majorimpact. "It was all done with RAI

in the past, but Publispei requestedthat we now get involved," hesays. "Twenty-four artists are tak-ing part in the competition, eachwith a song from their latestalbum. Daily airplay is beinggiven to each contestant and threelisteners will be chosen to selecttheir own top ten live on air eachday. We are also linking up livewith 120 discotheques to collectvotes."

The 10 most popular contes-tants will appear at the St. VincentFestival from June 23-25, orga-nized by Publispei and screenedlive on lead pubcaster channelRAI Uno. Six star guests, includ-ing Luca Carboni (RCA),Mango (Fonit Cetra) and Rober-to Vecchioni (EMI), will alsoattend. Comments Broglia, "Thisproject is important for Italianmusic. Wide exposure is beinggiven on radio, TV and in dis-cotheques. Votes are being cast bythe public and it is they who keepthe music industry alive."

II Canzoniere Dell'Estate, the

contest involving Radio VerdeRAI, will also be screened by RAIUno. Sixteen major artists and 16newcomers will compete in theirown sections. The finals will beaired over three nights in July.

RAI Uno will also screen "IICanzoniere Dell Anno" on May30, an event which will decide thebest act or artist of the year. Allcontenders have won major com-petitions between September 1991and this month they includeTazenda (Visa), Paola Turd(IT/BMG), Marco Masini (Dis-chi Ricordi), Gino Paoli (WEA),Mietta (Fonit Cetra), Paolo Valle-si (Polygram), Luca Barbarossa(Sony) and Aleandro Baldi withFrancesca Alotta (Di schi Ricor-di). A jury of journalists willdecide the winner.

Radio. Verde RAI is presentingthree daily features devoted toartists taking part in the competi-tions. Radio executive DinoBashi is very pleased with the pro-ject, saying, "Events like thesestimulate musical creativity."

small radio sets have been unableto capture the signal from Brus-sels. Cable companies, however,have continued transmitting theRadio 3 signal.

But, continues Terrijn, "Thewhole thing has to be seen as areaction against BRTN. We simplydon't understand why a statebroadcaster, financed by tax pay-ers' money, should start a commer-cial station like Radio Donna.BRTN's priorities are nowfocussed on commercial radioinstead of the cultural/informationrole a state broadcaster shouldplay."

Although Terrijn wants to con-tinue transmitting until BRTNresumes a "comfortable broadcast"of Radio 3, the Flemish MediaCouncil is investigating the mat-ter. Flemish Cultural ministerHugo Weckx says that one of thesanctions could be the withdrawalof Radio Centraal's licence. BRTNRadio Director Piet Van Roe saysBRTN has a new frequency readyfor Radio 3, but that they are wait-ing for the international approvalof the frequency by the co-ordina-tion committee.

Radio 2Adds

RegionalProgrammes

Belgian pubcaster BRTN's fivestations in Antwerp, Brabant,Limburg, East and West Flan-ders added two hours ofregional programming to theexisting regional slots between12.00-13.00 and 17.00-18.00.

The new programming,which debuted May 4 and re-placed the 06.00-08.00 blockson Radio 2, includes a widerange of music and regionaland international news. SaysRadio 2 producer Paul deMeulder, "We plan to air some26 records in two hour. We willinclude at least 20% Flemishrepertoire, and 50% EHR, allin the typical Radio 2 style."

Although the two extrahours will contain ads, radio adsales agency VAR spokesper-son Paul Driessen says Radio2 will not include regional adssince insiders at private sta-tions feared that this wouldendanger their revenues.

Vicino Returns, PromotesAmerio, Papa Winnie

Michele Vicino, who resignedsuddenly as Sony Music Pub-lishing Italy GM last Novem-ber, has returned to the musicindustry as an independent pro-ducer/artist manager for two for-mer Sony acts, newcomer Dani-lo Amerio and reggae artistPapa Winnie.

Vicino, who worked in allsectors of the music industrybefore leaving Sony, is collabo-rating with Milan -based produc-tion and publishingcompany N.T.M.,which is responsiblefor the production ofAmerio's debut albumLato Latino.

Amerio was previ-ously signed to SonyMusic both as an artistand songwriter. Butaccording to Vicino,the artist decided toterminate the contractfollowing the firm's decision notto enter him as a newcomer atthis year's San Remo Song Con-test. Amerio has written songsfor major artists including AnnaOxa and Fausto Leali.Although Sony retains co -pub -

Vicino says his priority is toget a hit record as soon as possi-ble. He believes radio airplay is

vital for success, say-ing, "It all depends onthe artist, but with anewcomer like DaniloAmerio it's importantthat Fonit Cetra securepowerplay on pubcast-er RAI, plus the majorprivate network sta-tions. An artist such asPapa Winnie needssupport mainly fromthe private sector. The

Naxos Finds Success With Budget CDsby Terry Berne

One of the pioneers of high quali-ty releases at reduced prices isNaxos, the successful budget linefounded in 1987 by Klaus Hey-mann.

Started in Hong Kong as an offshoot of H.N.H. International,the largest independent record dis-

tributor -in Asia,Naxos was originallyconceived to servicethe Far Eastern mar-ket where a tremen-dous demand for lowprice CDs existed.According to Hey-mann, that idea soonchanged. "The dayafter we launchedthe label the phonestarted ringing withcalls from all overthe world." Naxosdecided to expand.

The companyalready gained expe-rience in the classi-cal realm with its

full price label Marco Polo,founded in 1981 and specializingin world premier recordings of theromantic and post -romantic eras.As owner of these two labels,H.N.H. is one of the largest pro-ducers of classical music in theworld, issuing some 200 CDs a

"Our intention - is to build abudget catalogue that rivals thoseof the major labels," explainsHeymann. "To this end the labelconcentrates on the standard clas-sical repertoire. I believe we aremaking a major contribution tothe expansion of the classical mar-ket. With prices typically 30 to40% of full price CDs, people aremore willing to try somethingnew. And with such a large cata-logue, there is usually a Naxosalternative to full price record-ings."

Recordings were originallymade in Czechoslovakia, Hungaryand Poland-countries whereH.N.H. had distribution contacts.But recording activitiesdiversified as the label expanded,and now include Belgium (withthe National Radio Orchestra,London (with both the Royal andthe BBC Philharmonic Orches-tras) and Ireland (with theNational Symphony).

How do they manage to keepcosts low enough to remain a bud-get label? Heymann identifies fourareas where costs are minimized."First, production costs are low

because we use mostly in-houseproducers who enter the studiowith just the artists and soundengineers. Second, we use lesswell-known artists and pay rela-tively modest fees. Third, we don'tspend an enormous amount ofmoney promoting our artists. Last,and perhaps mostimportant, we onlyrecord each workonce. If it's good wewon't record it again.The duplication ofrecordings is whatactually costs themajors the most mo-ney, in my opinion.They often delete abetter recording tomake room for aninferior new one.There are vaultsfilled with deletedmaterial."

No single releaseis given special mar:.keting efforts. Allartists are treated equally, thoughthe few major house artists aregiven tour support. Radio is a pri-ority, with several hundred sam-ples of new releases sent to sta-tions all over the world.

PRODUCER: Marty Townsend

An American in Belgium. Luke WalterJr. specializes in a highly digestive R&Bstyle, proving that blood looks good inblue. His lazy vocals are not unlike TonyJoe White.

Says programmer "D"van Duffel, "This is a really trendy record,especially in our town. Our listeners arevery open minded for new things. On topof that it's a perfect summer song." Thealbum contains even more beauties. In fact,it's probably one of the few world musicrecords that listens like a regular "GreatestHits" album. The accordion -dominatedtrack Wahrane and the dub reggae -inspiredtune Ragda are the sunbeams that brightenup the days on a multitude of formats. Des-tined to be an all-time classic album.

RADIO 1 RESPONDS TO LISTENERS' NEEDS

Actions SpeakLouder Than Words

One of BBC Radio 1's more integral

roles as a public service broad-

caster is helping young people understand

social issues that affect their future and

how to cope with day-to-day living in the

'90s. Chief producer of social action Chris

Burns explains BBC's importance in playing

the role of the informer and the influence

these campaings have had on the community.

The campaigns deal with a variety of social issuesconfronting listeners, such as dealing with financialproblems, AIDS, drugs, unemployment and what todo after leaving school. Discussions over the topicsthat listeners are calling about are created withoutinfringing on the caller's confidentiality.

Every year the network's speech and informationdepartment organizes at least six "social action" cam-paigns geared towards listeners' actual needs. SaysBurns, "The content of a campaign is not determinedby someone sitting in my office saying, 'Wouldn't it bea jolly good idea to do a campaign on this or that?' Itis determined by calls that come into our help lines,through research, our meetings or by talking to peoplewho work in social fields. We are not led by otherpeople or organizations. We are proactive instead ofreactive." The campaigns and help lines are fundedby national charities, government offices and non-profit trusts. However, the "arm's length" relationshipwith these organizations guarantees Radio 1 completeeditorial control.

Print support material is also mailed to callersusing the help line. But again, anonymity is assured,as no records or mailing lists are kept. Material is alsoavailable when Radio 1 takes to the country's motor-ways for road shows.

Beyond The WavesThe BBC doesn't limit its projects to the airwaves,

however. The network holds a series of public meet-ings across the country as part of "BBC Goes toTown." Explains Burns, "It gives the public an oppor-tunity to talk about Radio 1 and what the station isdoing or could do, while giving us insight on listen-er's concerns."

"Action Special," Radio l's biggest annual effortdealing with issues such as education and job train-ing, began in 1979 when rising unemploymentbecame a major issue for young people. "That wasour first campaign," says Burns, "but now peopleexpect it every year."

Radio 1 strategically plans the projects, limitingthe number of on -air campaigns so the impact of anyone scheme is not softened and that listeners aren'toverwhelmed. Burns adds, "If you follow one imme-diately with another, your audience will have cam-paign overdose."

Radio 1 has broken new ground in the area of pub-lic service broadcasting. The British National AIDShelp line was born as the direct result of "Play Safe,

AIDS And You," believed to be the first nationalmedia AIDS awareness project done by Radio 1 onDecember 9, 1986.

The station's AIDS project was initiated when con-cern grew from another Radio 1 campaign, "DrugAlert." "We became aware of the need for an AIDScampaign from 'Drug Alert,'" explains Burns, "whenhelp line counsellors noticed that after telling callersthat sharing needles endangered the drug user of con-tracting AIDS or the HIV virus, several caller asked,'What's that?'" Within six weeks, research was com-pleted, funding was secured and hundreds of peoplewere being educated about AIDS.

When addressing sensitive issues such as AIDSand young suicide, BBC finds it crucial to use theright formula in getting the message across to theaudience while making it acceptable at the same time.

"We don't preach a series of do's and don'ts; wepresent our listeners with the information and allowthem to make their own decisions. The most effectiveway of getting the message across is using the storiesand voices of ordinary young people relating theirown experiences."

"Otherwise, people would not take us seriously,"she says. "The issues we are dealing with are com-plex and sometimes frightening. You can't just have asimple message. We don't try to hoodwink people; wejust present the information as it is. So people trustRadio 1. What we do is widely respected. For exam-ple, the Department of Health asked Radio 1 if itcould use some of the text from its 'Drug Alert' book-lets to place in its own booklet."

True IntentionsOne of the greatest challenges ahead for Burns'

department is a campaign coming up this year on sexand sexuality. "It is going to be a very difficult projectto get right given the constraints of all the variouslegislation."

Burns dismisses as shallow any criticism that herdepartment is a superficial attempt to justify Radio 1as a public service broadcaster to the license feepayer. As tangible evidence, Burns points out thatsince 1979 five million booklets and leaflets havebeen distributed on request; over a million peoplehave contacted the help lines. "These numbers showthe need for what we are doing, but even more essen-tial than that is the qualitative research done in termsof how people benefit from using our help lines."

RATINGS AND THE COMPETITION

Johnny BeerlingTalks Shop OnRadio 1

Radio 1's helmsman, controller, Johnny

Beerling, will be marking his 35th

anniversary with the corporation

this October. Beerling, 53, joined the BBC

as a technical operator in 1957 after cutting

his teeth in the Royal Air Force broadcasting

association, where he served

as studio manager.

Beerling produced the veryfirst programme, the TonyBlackburn show, for thenetwork September 30,1967. Three years later, hewas appointed executiveproducer. In '71, he wroteand produced a major docu-mentary series on the historyof the Beatles called "TheBeatles Story." Two yearslater Beerling conceived andlaunched the famous Radio1 "Roadshow" which attract-ed over 500.000 people forthe 54 live broadcasts aired over nine weeks each sum-mer. After serving two years as head of programmes,he was named as Radio l's controller in 1985.

Beerling is an active member of the UK RadioAcademy and is chairman of the BBC Radio DataSystem Steering Group. His hobbies include music,fishing and photography, and he's also a motor racingenthusiast.

Music and Media talked with Johnny Beerlingover a pint and a sandwich about the future of Radio 1,the station's role in society and its competition.

M&M: What is the common thread of public service run-ning through the network?

JB: That would be our breadth and range. BBCcould never just be a narrowcast service. We have awide section of license payers with a wide selection ofinterests. We do so much more than any commercialstation, whose common thread is getting the biggestaudience.

But size is not what we are all about. We do differ-ent things-we have to. Yes, during the daytime weunashamedly appeal to those people who like the basicservice of popular music. But for the rest of the timewe do other things such as documentaries, socialaction campaigns and special music shows. It's all partof public service. We also encourage young Britishmusicians to put their talent on a record that will reacha large audience.

M&M: As the great debate on the future of the BBCdraws nearer over the renewal of its charter in 1996, doyou foresee any changes within the network's infrastruc-ture?

JB: We will have to prove that we are different. Butthere are still a large number of reasons why so manypeople [license payers] want us, That is the justifica-tion for our existence. There is little point in being dif-ferent if you finish up with a minority audience. Thereis no point in doing social action broadcasting telling

DOB RADIO

people about AIDS, drugs, debts and so on if youhaven't got a large proportion of the relevant peoplelistening to you.

M&M: What is your strategy to compete with the nation-al commercial franchises as well as the proposed largeregional stations outside of London?

JB: I challenge the assumption that there will be alot more stations out there this time around; more sta-tions will come and more will fail. There's no doubtthat INR2 [the national classic rock commercial sta-tion IMR] will be there. But we have an advan-tage-we were here first.

They're also-rans coming up behind. If you want tolook at a parallel for that in Europe, take RTE in Ire-land, the state broadcaster which was closely pursuedby commercial station Century Radio/Dublin. Centu-ry tried to take on RTE Radio 2 on its own ground andtake its audience away, but failed. Century has shutitself down.

MOM: You sound very confident.JB: I don't think you can sit back and be complacent

and do nothing. We are expanding our spending onadvertising and increasing promotions and the profileof the station through road shows. We are constantlythinking of new ways to tell the audience, 'We arehere; we are different-try us and see.' That is why wehave an advertising strategy and will hopefully contin-ue to have one. We also invest a lot of money in prizes.

M&M: Besides the expansion of commercial radio and thecharter debate, what are the challenges that lie ahead foryou and Radio 1?

JB: It's not just radio competing against radio. Thereare more and more outlets, such as cinema, TV andcable. The number of people watching satellite TV isgoing up. There is more competition for people'sleisure time. The number of listeners in certain agegroups is declining because of shifts in demographics.The cake isn't getting any bigger but more slices arebeing cut from it. Those are the challenges we face.

M&M: Will Radio 1 lean towards narrowcasting morethan broadcasting?

JB: No. It is incumbent on us from the provision ofthe license fee paid by everyone to provide differentservices for everyone. If you don't provide differentservices, then the license payer has every justificationto say, 'I don't want to support this organization.'

M&M: How do you view the existing competition?JB: I don't think their standards are terribly high.

The great mistake is in thinking that CapitalRadio/London is our competition. That's only London.And outside of London there isn't that much. The oneappeal independent local radio has is that it is local.They can offer local travel and weather-things likethat. But in terms of music, presenters and range ofmusic, they can't touch us.

M&M: As part of public service, Radio 1 emphasizes itscommitment to new music. But how does that really stack.up against other programming priorities?

JB: We play new music at a time when the audienceis available to listen to it. Our playlist is much broader -based than the competition; our analyses show 1200different songs played over the course of a week, asopposed to most stations, which play about 400. Thereis no quota on how much new music is included in theplaylist. And 5.000 hours a year is given over to bandsin session.

M&M: In the past you have expressed regret over theemphasis Radio 1 placed on personalities. Has the station

birthday

lessened the emphasis on personalities and placed more on'stationality'?

JB: It is important to get the DJs out and about tomeet the people. There is no doubt a lot of our successdepends on the strong personalities we have. When wego on the road with the DJs, it's to ensure people thatwe are not perceived as 'that station down in London.'When people show up to meet our DJs it's a reflectionof attraction by the audience. Many see the DJ as afriend. Radio is personal, so you can't take personalityaway all together. But we have moved away from the'Tony Blackburn' sort of joking. Most of that type haveleft the station; there are a few left in that mould. But,by and large, we have moved into a breed of younger,more articulate-dare I say it?-better-educated peo-ple. They are more informed. We have changed to peo-ple who care more about the music. And that enthusi-asm for the music is noticed by the audience.

M&M: With the institution of the new ratings system thatwill survey the entire radio scene [RAJAR], will the banter-ing between BBC Radio and commercial radio cease?

JB: It will have to stop as far as arguing about sizesof audiences. Now we will all be measured by onecommon standard. I think that's marvelous. Right nowwe have two different sets of figures. That is partlybecause the same editorial areas aren't being measured.

M&M: How will Radio 1 use the RAJAR research asopposed to the way commercial radio uses the data ulti-mately for revenue?

JB: The best thing about the new system is the factthat it gives the regional breakdown. We can get ideasas to where we are doing strongly and where we needto do more promotion. Say, for example we lost aquarter of our audience in an area. I would see if wehad not done something in that region that we shouldhave.

M&M: What course is being plotted for BBC 1 for thenext 25 years?

JB: We don't look that far ahead; the BBC charter isonly until 1996. We survive for the moment and thensee if the BBC wants to Continue doing what it's doing.There is only a finite number of resources [licence feemoney], and decisions will have to be made-harddecisions-about how much of the BBC can continuewith the declining license fees. You have to rememberthat the licence fee is linked to a minus figure in rela-tion to the retail price indei.

In real terms, the total amount of money coming into the BBC is declining. So somebody at the top has tomake decisions about what he's going to do and wherewe are going to be based. It isn't just about licencefees. It is also about buying in independent productionas well. As independent network radio grows, therewill be a more thriving independent sector. We willtake those at a cheap price if the editorial standards areright. This will reduce the number of people we haveon staff. These are the big issues we face affecting theentire corporation.

M&M: In that case, do you foresee the day when BBCRadio 1 will take on selective advertising?

JB: It is not a prospect 1 would relish. Once youbecome led by advertising, your editorial decisionsare changed. I'm not saying we couldn't do it, but Ithink we would distort the outside market enormously.If the BBC decided it wanted to go down that road, itwould be because it isn't going to be funded by thelicence fee anymore, and that would be a pity. If theBBC starts being funded by advertising, it will neverbe the same. Maybe the government will think theBBC has outlived its usefulness after 60 years. I don'tthink so. Mike McGeever

STUART GRUNDY COMMENTS

BBC Concerts: OCIO RADIO

Motions & Emotions birthday

Avoid overplanning, give the audience

the impression they were there

and establish a good rapport with the artists

before the event. These are the key ele-

ments to successfully broadcasting a live

concert according to a man with experience,

Radio 1 concert producer Stuart Grundy.

Grundy describes a live concert broadcast as an eaves-dropping exercise. "There is no point in broadcasting liveevents if you don't communicate that excitement of whata live event is all about," he says. "Otherwise, you mightas well spend your time broadcasting perfect studiorecorded music. You have to make people wish they wereat the event. As a national broadcaster, these concerts giveus the opportunity to do that for people all over Britain."

Grundy has found that he doesn't need much lead timewhen producing a concert. "The major need for lead timeis to ensure that you will have the resources for a particu-lar event. I've found quite often that the more lead timeyou have, the more chaotic the broadcast of the concertwill be. Everybody tends to get very clever and when itcomes to the broadcast, we have found people tend tooverplan, which leads to more chaos than if we hadunderplanned."

In working with large, multi -artist concerts such as theFreddie Mercury tribute, Grundy says it's imperative thatthe broadcaster communicates with the right people.

"When you have a mega -event, the problems youexperience are magnified simply because of the largenumber of egos you have to work with. And becausethese types of events are set up with a completely differ-ent infrastructure, you are less certain you will be talkingto the band and their managers. I much rather prefer occa-sions when we deal with the management instead of

someone acting as an impresario setting the whole thingup." Another frustration associated with producing a liveconcert or broadcast, is impressing upon them that Radio1 is not just another radio station. "We feel we have to goout of our way to explain to them what Radio 1 is anational station with a reputation that goes back 25 yearsfor broadcasting major concerts, with a dedicated team ofproducers and sound mixers who spend a great deal oftheir lives mixing live music."

Risky BusinessGrundy has learned that it's rare to be able to capture

the same sense of excitement from a pre-recorded concert,as compared to mixing music live and sending it straightto the air waves. "What is interesting is that when we dohave the opportunity to re -mix and re -broadcast the con-cert, it is very difficult on most occasions to improve theoriginal live mix.

The Nelson Mandela 70th Birthday Tribute April1990, which was sent live on BBC Radio 1 to anaudience of over 8 million.

"But the excitement of airing a concert live in the truesense [Radio 1 doesn't use a delay] has its risks. The mostobvious one being the utterance of four-letter words by anartist. One of the most notable instances was Madonna'sengagement at Wembley Stadium last year when she said'fuck' several dozen times in the course of a few minutesafter being asked to 'tone it down' by the station's produc-tion team. Yes, we are taking risks, and our audienceknows that. But is also adds to the excitement and spon-

taneity. Remember, it's rock 'n' roll we are dealing with."Because Radio 1 is a public service broadcaster, it

feels committed to promoting new bands and performers."It is justifiable for the BBC to support live music in theform of rock and pop," says Grundy, "but not just the bignames. That is one thing we want to avoid. We are anx-ious to support the burgeoning bands-the ones who arealready beginning to make a lot of noise and a lot of pub-licity out of live performances." Radio 1 broadcast a weekof concerts in April from Norwich, including 19 hoursand covering 30 bands, most of which are not householdnames. "We should be supporting music, not mega -stars."

Doing It !tightTo plan future live broadcasts, the station engages in

extensive research besides the usual "head count." Apanel might be recruited for qualitative surveys, or a reac-tion index could be commissioned. "We try to find outjust how much people have enjoyed a particular event.We have the numbers that listen, but we also want tokrthw what they got out of the broadcast."

Besides recommending to stay cool when problemsarise during the broadcast of a live event, Grundy advisesbroadcasters contemplating such productions.

"Build up a relationship with the artist or band. Youneed to talk to the artist, and I don't mean to just interviewthem. They have to understand that this is actually beingbroadcast. We have been in situations where an artist wasperforming and didn't even realize they were being broad-cast because their management hadn't bothered to tellthem."

Despite all the hard work and necessary adjustments,concert production can often be a very rewarding experi-ence. One of these experiences for Grundy was the LiveAid concert. "We were suddenly pitched into agreeing tobroadcast something which was totally new to us. herecalls. "It was great for radio. It proved we could coversomething as complex as that and do it well. But the emo-tion...I think we were all in tears. I remember when thedoors at Wembley were opened and the thousands startedpouring in. People were there for the music but at thesame time contributing to something that was happeningin another part of the world. And to think the nightbefore, a colleague of mine asked me, 'Do you think any-one is going to listen?'" Mike McGeever

BBC RADIO 1 SESSIONS

Musical MomentsThat MadeHistory

Bob Dylan's basement tapes may have

filled a double album. BBC Radio 1's

would need slightly more vinyl.

The tape archive in the basement of Egton House, Radio1's home for 22 years, contains about 7.000 individual"session" tapes. Each tape holds one song recorded in -ses-sion especially for a Radio 1 programme in a BBC studio.A band normally has got down four numbers to make up asession, totalling 15-20 minutes of original material. It alladds up to 1.740 complete, preserved, unique recordingsby pop legends, totalling at least 430 hours of historicmusic.

But that's not even half of it. There have been about8.000 sessions recorded for Radio 1's evening and special-ist music shows over the past 25 years. Archivist PhilLawton estimates that at least 1.750 of these still exist.They are technically in "current use," kept by show pro-ducers in their own offices either for future repeat broad-cast or because they are personal favourites.

Many tapes, particularly from the '70s, have definitelybeen destroyed; a previous, less -enlightened regime at theBBC then judged blank tape to be a more valuable com-modity than any pop music recorded on it. But an increas-ing number of early classic sessions, thought to be lost foryears, are re -surfacing. Many, such as Leonard Cohen'sonly BBC radio session recording (July '68) are preservedon complete record -of -transmission tapes, made surrepti-tiously and stowed away safely by far-sighted engineers,producers and presenters. Other tapes, such as the last BBCrecording by Cream in January '68, simply turn up in theback of cupboards all over the broadcasting house.

The fact that so many of these sessions survive is a mir-acle for one simple reason: they weren't supposed to. Partof the deal with the Musicians' Union that allowed theBBC to pre -record anything at all demanded that the result-ing tapes be destroyed after a repeat and within six months.Also, these sessions were originally seen from the BBC'scorporate point of view as a second-best option. The sta-tion would rather have filled airtime with records, which

000 RADIObirthday

needletime restrictions prevented.But long before the launch of Radio 1, key BBC pro-

ducers had recognized the uniqueness of the sessions. Firstwas Jimmy Grant, a producer in the BBC's light enter-tainment department, who launched "Saturday Club" onthe old "Light Programme" in 1958.

In 1963 Grant was joined by co -producer BernieAndrews, who quickly acquired a reputation as a producerwith whom new groups such as the Beatles and theRolling Stones actually liked to work. Bernie risked hisneck breaking the BBC rules by not writing in the studiolocation on the session contract. Only by his promising tokeep the studio a secret would the groups agree to recordfor the BBC. Otherwise, they knew they would getmobbed by fans.

In 1964, Andrews was given his Thursday night show"Top Gear." The Beatles were in session on the first nightand set a trend for the BBC's first hip hop show. WhenRadio 1 was launched in 1967, Andrews resurrected thethen -defunct "Top Gear"; pop history was being made.

If nothing else, there are two periods in Radio 1 historythat justify the sessions. From1976 to 1981, John Peel and hisproducer John Walters capturedalmost every significant punkand new wave band before theyhad achieved fame or even hadrecords out. The Damned, theStranglers, Generation X,Adverts, Boomtown Rats, Slitsand Elvis Costello & TheAttractions all recorded classicsessions and were broadcast tomillions at a time when bothcommercial radio and much ofthe record industry wouldn'ttouch them. It's a tradition thatPeel continues to this day.

But the first truly astonishing period for Radio 1 ses-sions was "Top Gear" up to spring 1969, produced byAndrews and presented by Pete Drummond, TommyVance and others, but mostly Peel. With only a weekly,three-hour Sunday afternoon show, Andrews and Peelbroadcasted 225 sessions in 18 months, of which 75 were

first British broadcasts. Those 75 scoops included every-one from that generation of pop and rock: Led Zeppelin,Pink Floyd, Captain Beefheart, Traffic, T. Rex, Fleet-wood Mac, Bonzo Dog Band, Fairport Convention,David Bowie, Jimi Hendrix, the Nice, Barclay JamesHarvest, Joe Cocker, Love Sculpture, Deep Purple,Caravan, Soft Machine-the list goes on and on. Everyone of them was broadcast before these acts were stars. Itwas the first time most of us had heard them.

On through "The Sounds Of The Seventies," the broad-casting exclusives continued. Early in 1972, Roxy Musicrecorded their first session for Peel-again, before theyreleased a record-sneakily using the BBC's first stereostudio at the transcription service in Shepherd's Bush. Bylate that year, the trusty but outdated mono EMI tapemachines and limited BBC mixing desks, scatteredthroughout theater studios around the west end like ThePlayhouse and 201 Piccadilly, were replaced with aneight -track stereo set-up in studio Langham 1. This con-verted drama studio in the Langham Hotel hosted manyclassics, including Bob Marley and the Wailers' first

British recording for Peel in '73.With the commercial release

of hundreds of classic sessionssince '86 on Strange FruitRecords/ UK since 1986through an arrangement withBBC Enterprises, this archive isappreciated around the world.

Besides the fact that newbands today are much moreaware of the career opportunitythat Radio 1 sessions offer andaccept them as an integral part ofthe music scene, the sessions stillwork for radio listeners. They area relatively cheap, fast way ofoffering listeners an exclusive

and still scoop the record industry. The Farm's first ses-sion? 1983. Nirvana's? 1989. Long may they continue.The only thing is, BBC will soon nePLI an extra basement.

BC's Gramophone library, most likely

the largest record library in the

world, is a national treasure to which Radio

1 has access and regularly visits when

putting together some of its specialist

shows and programmes.

The GramophoneBeloved

The entire collection, congregated over the past60 years, boasts everything from a playable 78rpm record-the size of a 50 pence coin which

was made for Queen Mary's doll house-and wax cylin-der recordings "pressed" hear the end of the last century,never played and in mint condition.

The library, too largenow to fit in one room, ishoused throughout differentfloors in several largerooms, closets and vaults inBBC Broadcasting House,as well as in Radio l'sEgton House across thestreet, and contains 1.25million recordings. Thatincludes about 380.000 78s,800.000 vinyl records,90.000 CDs and 400 waxcylinders.

Founded in 1932, thelibrary shelves are packedwith every UK release from1895 until 1975. "For allintents and purposes, it isreckoned we have the mostcomplete collection of UKrecords in the world,"boasts head of BBCRecording Services RadioDave Price.

When asked how muchthe square -meter -after -square -meter of recordings is worth in total, Price replies,"How many zeros have you got?" He claims it is almostimpossible to put a monetary value on the library. "I sup-

pose about 5% of our collection is available now [andtherefore could be priced]. But 95% of it is out of copy-right, not available or deleted. The collection is worthnothing and yet it is worth millions." If he had to put aprice on the library, he would estimate roughly about £25million (US$45 million). But if it had to be replaced,

Price claims that amount would never cover

Librarian Michael White locates arecord from the rows of recordingsin the Gramophone library.

it.The person ultimately responsible for

what seems like endless rows of shelves inthe bowels of the BBC buildings is MichaelWhite, only the fourth person to hold thepost of librarian in the library's 60 -year his-tory.

White explains how he keeps track of themillions of recordings that he sometimesmust locate in moment's notice. "We fileeverything by record company, but you haveto have a pretty good idea what you arelooking for. There are card catalogues givingtitle and artist which makes things easier."The entire inventory is now being cata-logued to facilitate requests for recordings.The research will be able to fmd what he orshe wants by using certain key words.

When asked if being the curator of theworld's largest recording library is a daunt-ing task, White replies, "To be honest thereis too much else to do to find my job daunt-ing. The fact that it is the largest library hasnever struck me."

Price's perspective on the library is a his-torical one. "I see it as a national treasure.

The UK record industry was the world's first and is gen-erally regarded as one of the most vibrant in the world.And our collection is the only record of what it has done

25 years of Radio Oneis one record we can't represent.

PPL congratulates Radio One onbringing their unique and lively voice tothe airwaves for a quarter of a century.

As the British Record Industry'scopyright licensing body, Phonographic

Performance Limited represents over1,000 record companies and a myriadof artists and musicians. Between

them they have created a treasury ofperhaps a million sound recordings.

since it started. The record company themselves don'thave complete records of what they put out over theyears. In fact, there have been a number of occasionswhen the library hasbeen kind enough toallow major compa-nies to have theirrecords back so theycould re -issue themafter we boughtthem."

To catalogue arecording costs about£14 due to the intensecross-referencing andresearch that accom-panies each onebefore it lands on ashelf. For example,the song is cata-logued by composer,artist, artists whomhave previouslyrecorded the pieceand why the songwas recorded-toname just a few."This information isvital to the research.The price of cataloguing a recording includes the pur-chase price since most of the material is bought by theBBC and not received for free. What our catalogue hasthat others don't have is the input that has been put backinto the index by the users. Over the years, particularly inthe jazz areas, producers and presenters added what theylearned about the records," says White.

BBC employees search through the library's vast cata-logue in search of a recording.

OCIORADIO

Several indexes even include the take number on asession that was used for the recording. "For a jazz buffthat's manna from heaven," says Price.

Surprisingly, White doesn'tconsider himself a "collector" perse. "It is quite important in a joblike this not to be a collector. Youcan lose sight of the point ofbeing here."

Price, however, claims to havea collection of a few thousandrecordings-mostly blues-thathe has gathered over the years asa producer for BBC Radio.

Requests from inside and out-side the BBC come from peoplewhom have lost a recording ordamaged a disc, according toWhite. And the more requests onereceives, the greater the chancefor strange requests. Two of thesecalls that White has received inhis year holding the post include acall from Princess Lilian of Swe-den, who asked for a copy of NatKing Cole's Unforgettable whichshe said she couldn't get any-where. Another request came, formusic by Mozart. Not unusual by

itself, until the person requested a live recording done bythe composer himself.

The library is not for public use for obvious reasons.But Price says the library staff often tries to steer the per-son looking for a recording in the right direction.

The library has an unbelievable turnover rate of 2.000recordings a day. "A thousand go out, a thousand come

birthday

back," Price says. The bar-coded recordings are bor-rowed by BBC Local Station as well as network radio.Approximately 30% are lent out to London BBC stationswhile the rest go to stations across the UK.

Eventually most of the library will be available on CDas the library tries to build up its back catalogue. "We areunder pressure to try and do that," says Price. "However,funding is being squeezed from all sides of the BBC."

In an effort to maintain the library's status as the"biggest and best," White leaves the basements of theBBC and travels across Europe to replace material that isnot readily available in the UK. "It has to maintain itshistorical significance, states White. "It's a national trea-sure." McGoever

The BBC's smallest record fits in the palm your hand. Itwas made especially for Queen Mary's dollhouse andreally plays on a miniature 78 RPM phonograph.

Landmark Recordings

0ver the past quarter of a century, music broadcasting on Radio 1 have had personal

significance to millions of listeners. Whether it was a song that helped pioneer new

avenues in rock n' roll or a track that brought back memories of a first love, everyone has a

certain tune that is special, for whatever reason. Music & Media asked some of Radio l's

producers, past and present, what their 'landmark' record is and why.

Cathal O'Doherty,executive producer/promotions

Blue by Joni Mitchell

"It was one of the first records I ever owned at a timewhen I was growing up fast and enjoying the freedomof extensive travel in North America. Its slightlyjazzy feel introduced me to the joys of that genrewhich I still love. Basically, it conjures up a veryhappy era for me."

Jonathan Ruffle,producer of the Jakki Brambles show

Neat Neat Neat by the Damned

"After hearing this record I could never listen to PinkFloyd with a straight face again."

Johnny Beerling.controller

Rex Bob Lowenstein by Mark Germino

"This sums up an attitude and spirit prevalent at thetime the late Roger Scott worked at the station dur-ing its early days. It is a song I will always associatewith him."

Ric Blaxill,producer of the "Breakfast Show"

Seven Seas Of Rhye by Queen

"Hearing that record for the first time was like havingmy musical door unlocked. I was 12 at the time andhad always enjoyed music. But this song put music tothe front of my life. It was the first record I everplayed air guitar to."

Paul Robinson,producer/editor

Oliver's Army by Elvis Costello

"Oliver's Army was Costello's fifth hit single, but thefirst to prove that his exciting, fresh style had reachedthe entire UK. It's a perfect radio record, character-ized by the piano sound and the first record I playedas a DJ on British radio in 1979."

Mich Wilkojc,producer for Steve Wright

Sweet Child 0' Mine by Guns 'N Roses

"Quite simply the best record released during the '80s.In years to come it will attain the status of Stairway toHeaven."

Mike Hawkes,prod. of Peel/ Kershaw/ Tong/ Ezeke documentaries

Blitzkreig Bop by the Ramones

"The first sign in May 1976 that there was life afterFleetwood Mac. Can it happen again soon? Please!"

OCISRADIO

birthday

From blockbuster documentary series to casual chats withmusic's leading players, all the major stars have foundthemselves behind a Radio 1 mic at some stage in theircareers.

To mark BBC Radio l's 25th birthday, press officer

DJ Nicky Campbell with Paul McCartney

Jeff Simpson undertook the task of selecting some of theclassic interviews from the station's rich collection.

"Some of the choices were obvious," says Simpson."The 1980 interview with John Lennon provides in

A Galaxy Of StarsIn a world where a great deal of the legend of pop and rock relies on gossip,

half-truths and publicist fantasies, it is difficult to know where to run to

find the real rock stars. BBC Radio 1's enormous archive of interviews from pop

and rock figures is undoubtedly one of the best places to turn to

for facts over the last 25 years.

Lennon's own words, the only record of the last five yearsof his life."

Guitar legend Jimi Hendrix gave his last interview toRadio 1. However, only brief extracts of the interviewwere actually broadcast. "He had a tendency to mumblehis way through it," says Simpson. "But transferred ontopaper, it's a revelation."

Other interviews, while being less obvious choices, areequally fascinating. "Who would have thought a 'let's -pop -in -and -plug -my -latest -album' chat with PaulMcCartney about the Liverpool Oratorio would havegiven unique insight into the way a rock composerapproaches the classical genre?"

Seen in their historical context, some of the interviewstake on a new light. In 1977, Mick Fleetwood sharedwith Radio I listeners his worries about whether peoplewould like Fleetwood Mac's new album Rumours. In 1983, the Police denied they were about to split. Threeyears later Mark Knopfler of Dire Straits tried to envis-age his new album cover. "It's pink and blue with a guitaron the front," he said, describing what would becomeBrothers In Arms to the audience.

And of all the interviews, Simpson claims his favouriteinterviews were regarding Band Aid and Live Aid. "It ismade up of several interviews with Bob Geldof, startingwith the night before the record was made when Bob lists

the stars he hopes will turn up for the recording session.Later in a phone-in interview, he explains how the moneywas spent. It was a remarkable chain of events. Radio 1 isproud to have played a role in history."

A book by Simpson entitled "Classic Interviews" and

Phil Collins with DJ Mark Goodier

published by BBC Books includes excerpts and circum-stances surrounding these and more interviews containedin Radio l's archives. The book is due to be out onSeptember 2. Mike McGeever

STATION OPERATONS

Broadcasting Contractsby Barry Skidelsky

Contract is just a legal name foragreement. Some are oral, someare written. Obviously, a writtenagreement is easier to prove. To beenforceable, some contracts mustbe in writing and/or meet certainother legal requirements. Writtencontracts also help avoid misun-derstandings and future disputes.

Contract laws vary by jurisdic-tion, so whatever you read heremust be taken as a generalizedoverview. The one rule that shouldprevail everywhere is this: do notsign anything until you've called alawyer who understands yourbusiness and needs.

In essence, each contractdefines the parties and the deal.Regardless of the deal-whether itinvolves the music business, thepurchase or sale of a radio stationor simply employment-try tospell out exactly who is supposedto receive or do what, when, andwhere; and perhaps most impor-tantly, what happens if things gowrong.

Many contracts provide for theresolution of disputes by arbitra-tion rather than court, and the arbi-trator may even be selected by theparties. Usually, arbitration cansave both parties money, time and

hassle, and an arbitration awardcan be as binding as a court judge-ment. A non -binding alternativedispute resolution is called media-tion.

Make sure you understand thedeal, if not the legal language inthe contract. Leave the legalitiesup to your lawyer. But if you donot completely comprehend therights and obligations of all theparties to the contract and you signanyway, you are inviting disaster.

Contracts In TheRadio World

Broadcast employment con-tracts are a special breed, whetherfor talent or management. Con-sider duties, for example. In mostgeneral employment contracts, avague description of duties mightsuffice. However, a broadcast tal-ent might not want to obligate hisor her self to work for a particularcompany with "such duties as maybe reasonably requested by thecompany."

He or she might only want towork at a particular radio stationowned by the company, perhapsonly during a particular air shift,or perhaps only within a certainmusic programming format (e.g.:rock, not country). Of particular

A Special Breedimportance might be a research orpromotional commitment by thecompany.

The true limit to any contract isimagination. And, like finger-prints, each contract is unique tothe parties and circumstancesinvolved.

There really is -no such thing asa standard or form contract.Depending upon the parties, theirskills and those of their lawyers,the bargaining positions and thetiming (there's a reason why peo-ple say that timing is everything),what's most important to the par-ticular parties in a particular dealcould and should be incorporatedinto each contract. Think hardabout what you must have andwhat you would like to have.

Compensation is an obviouskey area. In most general employ-ment contracts, it is often a simplematter of a fixed weekly salary orwages. In broadcasting, perfor-mance bonuses based on fatings orrevenue, as may be specificallydefined in the contract, are com-mon. But unless your lawyerknows how to carefully craft thelanguage, you could actually losemoney.

For example, if an air talentbonus is ratings -based, considerthe difference between one with a

broad definition, such as persons15 years of age and older in thetotal survey area during the entireweek, and one more narrowlydefined to match a specific targetaudience, such as women aged 25-49 in the metropolitan area duringweek day mornings. Revenue -based performance bonuses mayalso vary widely depending on thedefinitions used.

DeterminingTermination

Term and termination are alsoimportant issues. What are thepros and cons of either a short- orlong-term deal? What rights doesthe company have to fire you, orconversely, what rights do youhave to quit? Is severance or ter-mination pay provided?

Is there a covenant not to com-pete? Although the right to pursueor earn a livelihood would seemfundamental, courts and arbitratorsmay uphold contract clauseswhich prohibit an employee fromworking for a competitor in thesame market or business for a rea-sonable period of time, especiallyif the employees services or skillsare deemed unique.

These and other issues shouldbe addressed up -front before the

parties get in bed with each other.Like safe sex, the smart money ison prevention, not cure.

OFF THE RECORD

THE BOSS HITS EUROPE: Bruce Springsteen will open his 1992-93 world tour with a month -long series of European concerts begin-ning June 15. The arena -sized shows will include 13 dates in five Euro-pean cities, including Stockholm, Frankfurt, Paris, Barcelona andLondon. The touring band will include Roy Bittan, Zachary Alford,Shane Fontayne and Tommy Simms.

RALLYING THE TROOPS: Off The Record hears that EMIMusic president/CEO Jim Fifield is planning to be in Paris on May 21and reportedly is expected to meet with Virgin France executivesabout future plans for the two companies.

ASTRA SIGNALS: MTV Europe has signed a deal to go on theAstra 1B satellite in addition to Astra 1A. The move will enhance itscoverage of southern Europe. The cable/satellite music net has alsodebuted a new programme called "MTV Live!" in conjunction withMedialab. The 30 -minute show will air on Fridays at midnight CET.

WHERE'S THE HITS?: Reporting there's "not enough good newstuff out this week" worth adding, Downtown Radio/Belfast program-mer John Rosborough is re -breaking the Tremeloes 1967 hit "SilenceIs Golden" by the Vienna Festival Orchestra, playing the remakethree times daily. Last October, Downtown and sister Cool FMlaunched current EHR hit Marc Almond's "Days Of Pearly Spencer"as an LP track.

trade organization BARD, printedin national music weekly MusicWeek and broadcast by BBCRadio 1. The changes will onlyaffect publication of the chart; atop 75-or even top 200 list-ing-will continue to be available.

The chart supervisory commit-tee is chaired by CIN chief execu-tive Adrian Wistreich (who hasone vote), and is represented bymusic industry body BPI, BARD(both with three votes) and theBBC (one).

Wiitreich says the BreakersChart could serve as a reliableearly indicator of chart hits. "Itwill be like the tips of next weekand will help new material tocome through," he says. "Empha-sis will be on those records whosesales increase [in percentages] sur-passes the market as a whole in aparticular week."

Adds BPI press & PR directorJeremy Silver, "The new systemwill serve two purposes: moves inthe chart will be slower, whilenewer acts will get better expo-sure."

While the retail representativeson the chart supervisory commit-tee support the concept, they areconcerned about the practicalitiesof the chart. They feel that thebuilt-in volatility in such a chartwill lead to stocking difficulties.One chart supervisory committeemember, Andy Gray, comments,"When units sold each week are sosmall anyway, there is concernthat this will lead to even greaterstock obsolescence."

He states that some singles inthe Breakers Chart may be sellingonly 1.500 units weekly and hecontrasts that with the 5.000 activerecord outlets in the UK. If 1.500copies are sold, 3.5000 storescould be left with an unsold recordif they back the Breakers Chart bystocking each title. (BARD did notreturn telephone calls.)

Although seen as Europe'smost accurate, the UK chart hasalso been criticized for its quickturnover of records, hampering thechances of breakthrough for newtalent. Latest estimates put theaverage life span of a single at 3.6weeks.

is to "develop Vogue in France asan independent company," butthat he wants to move "as fast aspossible." However, he says it istoo soon to decide whetherVogue's sales force will be mergedwith BMG's or if it will remainseparate, and how the purchasewill affect Vogue's 80 employees.

Carbonez has asked Detry tocontinue handling day-to-dayduties at Vogue, but made it clearthat this will not be a permanentarrangement. Detry did not returnM&M's telephone calls.

Vogue will continue to dis-tribute the current internationallabels it represents in France, suchas China Records, Music for

Nations (including ZappaRecords) and LA -based Solar.

During recent years Detry hasbeen very active dealing withrecord companies in EasternEurope, handling the distributionin Western Europe for Supra-phon (Czechoslovakia), Hun-garoton (Hungary) and Melodya(Russia). The deals and joint ven-tures set with these labels will notbe affected by the buyout, saysCarbonez.

PolyGram Records Francepresident Paul -Rene Albertinisays one of the reasons PolyGramdidn't bid for Vogue was that hefelt the catalogue had been "verywell exploited, if not over -exploit-ed by Detry." Carbonez contests,however, that "it is impossible toover -exploit a catalogue." He

maintains there is a perfect mixbetween BMG's and Vogue's cata-logue. He suggests in particularthat Vogue's extensive jazz cata-logue will be boosted on an inter-national level.

Vogue was founded in 1948 byLeon Cabat and became one ofFrance's most dynamic and cre-ative independent companies inthe '60s. Under the A&R directionof Jacques Wolfsohn, the rosterincluded artists such as JacquesDutronc (whose song Pariss'eveille was voted last year asbest French single of the past 40years), Francoise Hardy andJohnny Halliday (who recordedhis first album with Vogue).

Its last major hit dates back to1983, with Axel Bauer's singleCargo.

PolyGram(continued from page 1)

The five -inch CDs will besold at a wholesale price ofFfr19-20 (app. US$3.50) and at aretail price of Ffr24-30, about theprice of vinyl singles. PolyGramworked alone on the project,shipping the first 100.000 units tothe stores; other record compa-nies are expected to follow.

Sources suggest that some ofPolyGram's competitors haveexpressed negative commentsabout the move during recentmeetings of industry body SNEP.EMI France president GilbertOhayon says he regrets the deci-sion. "On such topics, the indus-try should move together in acoherent way," he says. Ohayonconsiders the product "a goodformat," but fears it could "createsome confusion in the consumer'smind" since only a few releasesare available.

PolyGram Disques Francepresident Paul -Rene Albertinisays the move was partly due tothe decline of single sales, as wellas to a reduction of media expo-sure for singles. (One blow citedwas pay -TV channel Canal Plus'decision to broadcast the singlescharts only on a weekly insteadof daily basis.)

Albertini says he doesn't feelguilty about going solo on theproject-in contrast with lastyear's collective launch of thecassette single-because others,such as Virgin, had already start-ed to market the same type ofproducts.

"Of course, it is much betterwhen there is a concerted actionby all the industry," he says. "Our

strategy was different this timebecause I feel it is the responsibil-ity of each company to decide toreduce its profit margins on aproduct to such an extent that itcan find room on the market. Ifwe had decided to move with thewhole industry, God knows howmany negotiations, compromises,et cetera there would have been.We took the risk to start thewhole thing hoping the rest of themarket would follow us, and wereally hope that they will."

He continues, "We think thatwhat we have done is more cre-ative, more dynamic and morehealthy for the market than a sys-tem of excess discount to retail-ers," referring to Sony Music'sstrategy at the beginning of theyear when it offered all the com-pany's singles in the Top 50 at a20% discount.

For Albertini, the question ofthe future of short formats is vitalto the industry. "We haven't founda better way to promote albumsthan with hit singles. Popular sin-gles can launch or re -launchalbum sales. During the past eightto 10 months, we and other com-panies like Sony Music have beenringing some bells in Francetelling retailers and the media tostop under -exposing singles. Weneed them. In countries such asSpain or Italy, the single markethas collapsed, and it has had adirect effect on album sales. Wemust focus all our efforts on revi-talizing the short -format marketand maintaining consumer inter-est."

Albertini describes retailerreaction so far as "friendly, if notpositive." Bruno Gerentes, headof musical products for the lead-

ing French retail chain FNAC, isoptimistic about the future. Hesays, "I don't see how this formatwill fail to find its public. It ischeap-we sell it at Ffr28 (app.US$5)-and it seems coherentwith the rest of the formats. Itreally looks like a good solution,especially as the two -track cas-sette is not what I would call acomplete success. I don't see whyother distributors wouldn't adoptthis format."

Virgin Megastore marketingdirector Olivier Montfort agrees."With a lower price on theseproducts, it will now really bepossible to have distinct strategiesfor long and short formats,"Montfort says. "The price differ-ence between a normal CD and atwo -track CD is more or less thesame as that between a vinyl sin-gle and an album. It is vital forthe industry that the short formatregains its commercial potential."

Albertini says his companyneeded to act quickly-therewere only three months betweenthe decision and the launch of theproduct-because of decliningalbum sales in France. "At theend of last year, we saw thebeginning of a very worryingtrend which could have damagingeffects on album sales if it was tobecome consistent. Most retailerswere not taking albums seriously,ignoring all the steps in the devel-opment, which were inextricablylinked to the exploitation of aseries of singles. For retailers, analbum has finished its commer-cial life after three or fourmonths. To reverse this trend, wereally need a dynamic single mar-ket. That's why we created thisproduct." EL

That policy is now seen asanachronistic, says stockbrokersF.G. Securities House mediaanalyst Jaime Cazarena. "Thegovernment's decision [to divest]is obviously political," he says.

The Superstar CompetitionWhile Annie Lennox remainson top for the fourth consecutiveweek, the EHR top 10 is

undergoing some drasticchanges with two major artistreleases making impressivegains-Lionel Richie's Do ItTo Me and MichaelJackson's In The Closet.

The competition between thetwo is fierce, but it looks likeRichie is leading the way. Bothrecords score in 13 Europeanmarkets, although Richie has aslightly better edge in the UK,Germany and Denmark.

Kim Wilde scores her firsthit on EHR with Love Is Holy, thefirst single from the new LoveIs... album and the singer's 26thhit in the UK. Thetrack-climbing from number17 to 13 this week-is takingoff in a big way in the UK whileairplay in the Benelux andNorway is steadily building.

Another good move forSimply Red's Thrill Me(currently at number 18),already the fourth single fromthe Stars album, following the

hits Something Got Me Started,Stars and For Your Babies. Justlike Wilde, reception in the UKis immediate while Holland andSweden are heating up.

UK band Curiosity(previously known as CuriosityKilled The Cat with hits likeDown To Earth and Misfit) arenewly signed to RCA. Their firstsingle for the label Hang On InThere Baby is booking a goodincrease in chart points thisweek. Currently positioned atnumber 20, the song is

breaking out from its homebasis into Germany and Italy.

Highest entry for KylieMinogue's new single FinerFeelings. It marks the singer'sseventh hit, a remarkableachievement considering thefact that the EHR Top 40 isonly running since December1990. The current success ofFiner Feelings makes the PWL-signed artist the most prolific hitmaker on EHR, an honourpreviously shared with PetShop Boys.

It's A Wilde World!With the release of her eighth album "Love Is," Kim Wilde is ready to challenge her own

record as a purveyor of hits. Backed by the "Wilde family firm" (consisting of artisticco -directors father Marty and brother Ricki, plus manager/mother Joyce), nothing seems to

be left to chance. The world is prepared for another episode of a success story thatstarted back in 1981.

ather Marty was a well -respected rocker in thelate '50s and early '60s,with hits like Endless^

Sleep, Donna, A Teenag-er In Love, Sea Of Loveand Bad Boy. Comingfrom such a family, it's

not that surprising thatKim followed in her

father's footsteps. Moreintriguing, however, is how ft all

happened.There's a very funny anecdote about the start of her

career. BrotherRicky was record-ing an album forthe now defunctRAK label and

asked his sister toprovide backing

vocals, which, as ateenager, she haddone many timesbefore for her dad.Suddenly RAK

label boss MickieMost slipped intothe studio, heardand saw theblonde Kim, and

the rest is history.A classic case ofthe old Romanexpression "veni,

vedi, vici"-1 came,I saw, I conquered.

Most had thereputation of hav-ing a first class per-ception of theintemational market. The success he had enjoyed during the'70s with acts including Hot Chocolate and Smokie proved hisstatus as a great "song picker."

Looking back on all those years of success, theWilde family team almost instantly knew that Kimhad worldwide hit potential. As soon as fatherMarty and brother Ricki had written Kids In Ameri-ca, they felt that electrifying moment. It was thefirst, but definitelynot the last timethat the magic word"Eureka" was shout-ed out loud in theirhome studio. Apartfrom providing a

very immediate andexciting pop record,the singer had theslice of luck that isalways needed tobreak through.

Kids In America,included on her

1981 self -titled debut album,sold two million copies worldwide. A flood of hits followed,all characterized by ultra -catchy pop melodies and irresistiblehooks. Just read the titles of songs like Chequered Love, Cam-bodia and View From A Bridge and straightaway, you hum thecorresponding melody.

After three albums, her contract with RAK expired. Shesigned to MCA in June 1984, which gave her the opportuni-

ty for greater exposure on a worldwide level. The albumTeases & Dares was not only her label debut for MCA; italso marked her debut as a songwriter, with numbers suchas Fit In and Shangri-La. For Wilde's personal credibility, itmeant an artistic turning point in her career, as her fatherand brother were thus far totally responsible for the song -writing process. From that moment on, she wanted to be amore complete artist, not just a singer. Reportedly, Wilde'spersonal goal for the near future is to produce new artistswith her own songs.

Kim has always had a clear idea of her own music, image,appearance and the people she wanted to record with, allthe time being surrounded by her family, with her motherJoyce as her personal manager. The mother/daughter rela-

tionship has resulted in automatic mutual respect.The Wilde dynasty was known to be a very close family,

mixing socially and in business circles. Kim understood verywell that she was the front person of a machine in which allparts were equally important. That great team spirit hasoften been praised by MCA International senior VP StuartWatson.

With her parents having alreadybeen in the business for more than30 years, she has been able toavoid the proverbial pitfalls of apop star's career. They have pro-vided her with stability and

encouragement in a world lit-tered with people who havefallen over many hurdles. Kimultimately never had to worrythat her management wouldrip her off.

Strangely enough, it took along time before the British hitphenomenon became a real "kidin America" herself. This finallyhappened with the Supremes

cover You Keep Me Hangin' On in1986, when it reached the top slot in

the Billboard Hot 100 Singles. Anotherhighlight in her career saw her supporting Michael Jack-son on his 1988 Bad world tour, with 34 shows in fivemonths. In the slipstream of this tour, her sixth album Closesold 1.5 million copies across the globe. It spawned five

In terms of hit singles overthe years, she has quietlybecome the UK's most suc-cessful female solo singer ofall time, surpassing Sandy

Shaw and Dusty Springfield.That doesn't mean that sheshould be regarded as a sin-gles artist. Success with singleswas always seen as a meansto an end. On the back ofsingles alone, no artist couldever achieve such longevity inthe rock business.

Wilde has always recog-nized the immeasurable valueof promotion. Together withWatson, her mother and herassistant Nick Boyles, she hastravelled the globe manytimes. Her integrity and affini-ty for people are seen as twoof her greatest assets. She prefers face-to-face interviews toeasy "phoners."

On her worldwide travels, she has more thanonce tapped into new markets. In 1988-oneyear before the fall of communism in Poland-sheappeared at the "Sopot" festival in that country.For the new album Love Is, Southeast Asia andAustralasia are heading the list of markets to bedeveloped. But MCA is first planning to concen-trate on the strongEuropean marketsto take a story tothose territorieswhich can't be

ignored. The USmarket will also becovered moreextensively than it

has been before. InEurope, Spain hasalways been a bitbehind but, according to Watson, that will be cor-

rected. With the Latin markets growing closer to each other,MCA is convinced the strong French market will bring Spainto the party.

Europe has always been good for Kim, with the UK, Ger-many, France, Scandinavia, Switzerland and Holland leading

the wave. Switzerland is

probably her bestmarket. Com-
