Philips Schedules DCCLaunch For April 1992
by Machgiel Bakker
Philips will be launching its newDigital Compact Cassette (DCC)in April 1992. This was announ-ced during a European demonst-ration of the new soundcarrier or-ganised by the electronics giant atits Dutch -headquarters atEindhoven on February 4.
The meeting was chaired byMD Philips Audio, WimWielens and senior product ma-nager, Jerry Wirtz. It followedthe presentation for the US tradepress at the winter ConsumerElectronics Show (CES) in LasVegas in January.
Backed by all major recordcompanies --but currently exclu-ding Sony Music --the new musicsoftware format combines the fe-atures of compact cassette (intro-duced in 1963) with those of1982's introduction of the CD.The launch of the new carrier willbe supported by about 500 pre -re,corded DCC titles. First DCCplayers will retail for an estimatedDfl1.000 (app. US$581).
Widens says market researchon all variations of audio casset-tes shows that 75% are used forplayback only. He says, "DCCwill not be positioned as a new
recording format but as a 'new thatmusic software format'. Musicsoftware should, therefore, be thelocomotive for a new carrier. Thatis why we are involving themusic industry at a very earlystage. One of the disadvantagesof DAT was there was no pre-re-corded software available."
However, Widens emphasises
DCC should not be seen asoverlapping with DAT. "DAT wasnever meant to be a new carrierfor music, but as a recording sys-tem equal to a reel-to-reel recor-der. DAT is aimed at a small seg-ment of the market, thesemi-professional user. DAT andDCC should be able to co -exist inperfect harmony."

DCC AdvantagesThe main advantages of DCC over the current analog cassette are: Digital sound quality. Backwards -compatibility: DCC players will playback traditional
analog tapes. Existing tape collections can t bepreserved. Main advantages of the analog cassette are maintained like size, weight
and portability. DCC boasts a new, high-tech design, with sleeve graphicson the front of the cassette.
Easier track access. With DCC's autoreverse function, trackselection is facilitated. As on a CD, a pre-recorded DCC will containextra control information recorded on subcode channels. This means thatthe text mode of a DCC player can display artist, song titles and lyrics.

But the news channel would nowlike these self -same stations toswitch to its specially repackagedsubscription CNN Radio.
Explains London -based broadcastrelations executive Beverley Niel-sen, "CNN Radio is available as anon -the -hour headline service, fol-
lowed by 22 minutes of detailed re-porting. Its separate Atlanta news-room uses exactly the same reportersand filed audio stories as television.Stations can take it from a sub -car-rier on the Intelsat satellite."
Nielsen says the cost package inEurope for CNN Radio is based on astation's audience figures. She decli-ned to reveal a price -per -thousand.

EMI Musk Eludes Thorn's Profit Bluesby Steve Wonsiewicz
Thorn -EMI might have the pro-fits blues, but its record divisionis rockin'.
The UK entertainment to ligh-ting to electronics conglomerate --which also includes EMI Music --issued a profits warning onJanuary 18, but stresses the musicdivision continues to "performoutstandingly". That's evident inprofit projections by CountyNatWest analyst Julie Feaver.She has forecast that the musicdivision's operating profits willincrease 21% to £120 million onsales of an estimated £1.3 billion.
Comments Feaver, "The mainreason for such a large increase isthat the company has had a fan-tastic year in the US in particular,but that increase has crossed overto Europe as well." Feaver citesthe blockbuster success of artistssuch as MC Hammer, VanillaIce, Sinead O'Connor andWilson Philips, all especiallyprofitable because they are newacts.
Another plus: economies ofscale in the music publishing ope-rations, which she says bring inabout one third of the division'sprofits. "It usually takes about ayear for efficiencies to take effect.Thorn -EMI bought SBK in 1989,and now it's beginning to see thebenefits," adds Feaver.
For Thorn -EMI's 1991 fiscalyear, which ends March 30,Feaver has forecast that total ope-rating profits for the whole com-pany will decline to £258 millionon sales of an estimated £4.75billlion.
Feaver is not the only analystto be bullish on the music divi-sion yet downgrade profits for theentire company. Barclays deZoete Wedd analyst JaneAnscombe is predicting opera-ting profits of £121 million (in-cluding Thorn -EMI's stake in
Thames TV), up 22% from lastyear. But for the entire companyshe's calculating pre-tax profits of£256 million, down from last ye-ar's £317.5 million.

They also carryno voting rights. The issue will alsonot dilute existing shareholders'ownership.
Transworld's ProfitsWarning
Look at the ratings and not the incomestatement. At least that is whatTransworld Communications hopesits investors and bankers will do.
The company warned analysts earlierin January that it expects a pre-tax loss ofsome £500.000 for the second half of theyear. Transworld. which in early Januarysold Miss World to founder Eric Morelyfor £800.000. has already suffered a £1.16million loss for the first six months.
However, the company turned in
strong ratings gains at its three main sta-tions: Piccadilly/Manchester. RedRose/ Preston and Radio Aire/Leeds.
PolyGram has set up a
Luxembourg subsidiary to handlethe transaction because of the prefe-rential tax treatment investors re-ceive in the country.PolyGram also says the deal will
allow the company to write off anestimated US$300 million in good-will that was acquired in the acqui-sitions and reduce short-term debt.Dutch law requires goodwill bewritten off from equity.

Starstream plans to expand Polton'sdistribution in the country and hopes tohave licensing deals with several recordcompanies completed by the end ofFebruary. The company will also distri-bute Polton's music library in the US.

main reasons for the improved re-sults in the music division is thatin the last three to four years thecompany has invested heavily inartist repertoire." That move,says, Anscombe, is paying big di-vidends.
However, Anscombe warned itcould be difficult to meet thosenumbers next year. Reasons cited:royalty rates probably will be hig-her and the difficult market con-ditions in the US and UK.
"It may not be far from mee-ting last year's figures. But evenif it does, will would be doingvery well indeed."

Radio 1 Explores MovingTo Album -Based Playlist
by Hugh Fielder
\ BBC Radio 1 switch from a sing-les to albums -based playlist-a movethe station is now exploring-couldhave a major impact on the record in-dustry's promotional strategies.
The BBC's national pop station isholding a series of informal dinnerswith its producers, presenters andprogramme assistants to discuss thecompilation of a playlist drawn fromsongs which would include albumtracks as well as singles. No deadlinehas been established for any changes.
Commenting on the effects ofsuch a switch, Chrysalis promotiondirector Judd Lander says, "All Iask from radio is that they stick to aplaylist, however they compile it. Atpresent you can find singles on the B -list (medium rotation) getting moreplays than those on the A -list."
Lander stresses that if Radio 1 pro-ducers choose album tracks then theywill be performing an A&R functionnormally undertaken by record com-panies. "Mai be record companies
JICRAR Considers Adding Atlantic 252by Hugh Fielder & Paul Easton
The Association Of Inde-pendent Radio Contractors(AIRC) is considering the inclu-sion of Atlantic 252 in its JI-CRAR audience research.
AIRC director Brian Westsays the issue is on the agendafor the next meeting of theresearch sub -committee and willbe debated next month. But hebelieves priority should be givento the talks currently taking placewith the BBC for a joint au-dience measurement system.
The advertising industry is be-coming increasingly impatientwith AIRC's decision not toadmit Atlantic 252 and include itin JICRAR research. Media
Buying Services associate direc-tor and Association of MediaIndependents spokespersonJane O'Hara says, "Any radiostation on -air should be includedby JICRAR if they are willing topay. If they are excluded it cutsdown their chances of getting onbuyers' schedules."
Country Meath, Ireland -basedAtlantic 252, which was laun-ched in 1989, is excluded fromAIRC because the association'sconstitution stipulates that allmembers must be UK -based.Atlantic 252 says it is prepared topay for JICRAR research and itpoints out that RadioLuxembourg is included in theJICRAR figures even though it isnot an AIRC member.
IRN, ITN Merger Draws CriticismThe proposed merger betweenIndependent Radio News(IRN) and ITN Radio News(operated by IndependentTelevision News) has provokeda strong reaction from several ofITN's subscribers.
KCBC/Kettering programmecontroller, Howard Rose, isplanning to organise a campaignto halt the merger and has writ-ten to all other ITN Radio sub-scribers to ask for help.
Rose says "If commercialradio is developing, then surelyit should have a choice of newsproviders. My objection is notsimply to IRN but to a mono-poly of news provision. We
chose to take ITN for its yearsof experience and its profes-sional attitude to newsbroadcasting."
East End Radio/Glasgowstation manager RodneyCollins says, "I am also veryconcerned because I cannot re-ally see how one news servicecan really serve everybody'sbest interests. RadioLuxembourg is currently sup-plying a news service toAtlantic 252 and I would be in-terested in the possibility ofbeing able to use that. Althoughit is basically a rip -and -readwire service, it still gives us analternative to IRN.'" HF
The long -wave station's trans-mission area covers NorthernIreland, Wales, Central andNorthwest England and Southernand Central Scotland. At the endof 1990 a survey by ContinentalResearch conducted to JICRARstandards gave the station a 12%reach with 2.37 million listeners,stating it was the second-largestcommercial station in the UK.Radio Sales Company, whichhandles Atlantic 252's sales, saysthe station defined its own totalsurvey area.

could service albums with selectedcuts, as they do in America.
"It could also cause problems inbreaking new acts which are oftensigned on a three -singles contractwith an option on an album. Andwhat about club records that compa-nies may have licensed from anotherlabel?"
BBC I head of music ChrisLycett stresses, "We have no inten-tion of dropping singles from theplaylist. But as a reflection of currentmarket trends, we are consideringways of increasing album play onRadio 1."
Lycett is concerned the singleschart no longer reflects popular musi-cal taste. "The fact is that singles
sales are declining. In the week thatImn Maiden got to no. 1 recently,
the total sales of the Top 40 amoun-ted to 4% of our weekly audience.
"We're here to make radio pro-grammes. We're not here to reflectthe charts." At our weekly playlistmeetings the chart is just one of ourconsiderations. Obviously if a recordgoes flying into the charts it is clearlypopular but the chart is not our bible."
The BBC acknowledges a changeto the playlist system could affectsingles sales. Comments a BBC spo-kesperson. "If singles only exist tomarket albums, a system that in-
volved playing more album trackscould mean that the singles marketcould decline still further."
BBC Radio LaunchesPromo CampaignThe BBC's Radio 1 is launching amajor promotional push in Londonand the Southeast to increase itsaudience.
The main thrust is a three-weekcampaign in conjunction withCashcard, which is giving away atotal of £85.000 in prize money.Ten million, individually numbe-red cards are being deliveredthrough letter boxes and givenaway free at newspaper shops.Each weekday, the presenter ofevery daytime show will read anumber and listeners will be ableto ring up and claim a £1.000 prizeif it matches the one on the card.The prize will be shared if morethan one listener has the samenumber. But if no one claims theprize, the money will be added tothe next show.
A Radio 1 spokesperson stressesthat BBC licence payers' money isnot being used to pay for thepromo, since the prize money is
being provided by Cashcard. Therealso is no connection with a simul-taneous promotion with The DailyStar, which is featured on thesame card and which ownsCashcard. The Cashcard promo-tion is being advertised on TV andthe Independent Radio Network.
A spokesperson says, "Cashcardis mentioned as a concept. Ourcatch phrase for the competition is'We have got the number, theyhave got the money'. The competi-tion is part of a "multi -directionalpromotional thrust" which the sta-tion is running through the spring.This includes an advertising cam-paign with posters around Londonand the Southeast and a series oflive lunchtime ,outside broadcastsby Gary Davies .
The latest JICRAR figures rele-ased two weeks ago show that thestation's ratings are slipping. Radio1 has a 29% reach in London, 2%behind Capital FM. HF

VPRT Outlines NewMedia Law Proposal
by Robert Lyng
Bonn -based VPRT (Associationof Private Broadcasters &Telecommunications), a lobbygroup representing all German pri-vate radio and TV broadcasters,has proposed a new media law forthe five new German states. Thedraft encourages local councils toallow a broadcasting structure re-presenting both the German con-stitution and the High Court. Theproposed draft will offer numerousalternatives and the VPRT hopesto help the new states avoid pro-blems formerly faced in WestGermany.
The major points of the draft in-clude:
Frequencies to be distributed by a special state commission. Both private and public broadcasters to be issued frequencies
from the beginning. Public broadcasters to neither directly nor indirectly hold
shares in a private broadcasting company. Statewide programmes are to be carried out in studios within
the respective state. The production of full programming is to be given priority; the
production of local and regional progranuning is secondary. Advertising and sponsoring regulations are along EC guide-
lines, soon mandatory. Station boards, currently consisting of various representatives
from -socially significant groups, to be replaced by smallereight person boards.
Hessen 3 Plans Music ShowPublic TV station Hessen3/Frankfurt is launching a newweekly music programme fromMarch 4 to replace the cancelledWDRMR co -production"Rocklife". Other German TV sta-tions have been systematically re-ducing the amount of their musicbroadcasts (M&M February 9).
Producer Gerd Schulze says thenew hour-long programme,"Musichall" will present weeklydiffering programmes. Under thedirection of Jochen Filser andHeiner Schoelling of Hessen 3'sentertainment department, Schulze
will present both new and esta-blished artists in a variety of set-tings. His team of editors will in-clude Teddy Hoersch andRoberto Cappelluti.
Schulze says, "On the firstMonday of each month we willpresent two live bands from theFrankfurt Musichall, a live club.We will film the first group's con-cert for broadcast on the fourthMonday of each month. The se-cond group will then be broadcastabsolutely live at 23.10, our regu-lar time . slot. On the secondMonday of the month we will air a
magazine format with local stories,reports and contributions of inte-rest to music fans. On the thirdMonday of each month we willpresent a selection of historicmusic programmes from the archi-ves."
At the moment 30 shows featu-ring pop, rock, blues, soul and rapare planned. "Besides featuring in-ternational acts," explains Schulze,"we will also present at least fivelocal bands. Irmgard Tennagel,Frankfurt's councillor for rock andpop music, will help us choosethem." RL

Private Radio For Magdeburgby Mal Sondock
The state Sachsen-Anhalt hasannounced the launch of the firstprivate radio station in what wasformerly East Germany. This de-cision is in line with most of thefive new federal states, who aimto develop independent state-wide stations and not rely onWest German public stations.Antenne Sachsen Anhalt/Mag-deburg is a team effort between
AVE Radio Gesellschaft/Hanover and a Magdeburg -basedcompany. Managed by Hilmarvon Poser, the station has beenissued a three-year broadcastinglicence.
An independent committeeincluding public interest and re-ligious groups, will be foundedto' ensure the station serves thepublic interest. AntenneSachsen-Anhalt is scheduled togo on -air very soon.
CLT Gets BerlinRadio Frequency
by Marc Maes
The Berlin Kabelrat (BerlinCable Council) has agreed to allo-cate CLT (Compagnie Luxem-bourgeoise de Telediffusion) anFM frequency in Berlin. CLT di-rector of communications KarinSchintgen says, "This is goodnews for the company as it is thefirst time a foreign company hasbeen given an FM radio fre-quency on a 100% exclusivebasis".
The new operation, namedRTL Radio Berlin, will allowCLT to start radio operations fromGerman territory. Until now, allactivities have been undertakenfrom Luxembourg. Although CLTstill has frequencies in NorthRhine-Westphalia and theStuttgart area, it plans to shift the
majority of its activities to the newoperation.
RTL Radio Berlin plans to startbroadcasting in summer, and willoffer a complete format of news,music and games.
In Luxembourg, local gover-nment is currently discussing theintroduction of private radio sta-tions. If, as expected, 40 loe21 pri-vates and three or four bigger re-gional stations are given a radiofrequency, CLTs position couldbe endangered.
Says Schintgen, "We weregiven the exclusive right on allterrestrial frequencies in Luxem-bourg back in 1931. But the newproject allowing privates does notmake us feel happy, as Luxem-bourg is a very small territory andit will be difficult to share thesmall advertising.

With a hoped -for debut atMIDEM '92, the event is slated torun during the Victoires De LaMusique (French music industryawards), which generally takes
place shortly after MIDEM. It isbelieved the event could counter-act traditionally weak mid -wintersales.
MIDEM says if the frameworkproves successful, it can see no re-ason why copycats elsewhere inEurope should not spring up.Details Roy, "The purpose of theevent is to draw attention to all as-pects of French musical produc-tion. The proposal was submitted
to the French copyright body,SNEP, and was greeted withmuch interest."

Sting Rides 'Cages'Straight To The Top
by David Stansfield
Sting is the first international artistto shoot straight to no. 1 in the offi-cial RAI album chart with his newLP The Soul Cages (Polydor). Thesuccess is backed by the division'sbiggest -ever marketing campaign,valued at more than US$1 million.
The campaign includes TV ad-vertising on Silvio Berlusconi'sprivate network channels untilMay, a promotion and advertisingcampaign on the national privatestation Rete 105, plus full -page ad-verts in leading daily newspapers.Drinks company Aperol is partne-ring with Polydor by investingmoney in the campaign and hasalso made a donation to theRainforest Foundation.
Says Polydor GM AdrianBerwick, "Madonna and PhilCollins both achieved sales of750.000 units for their albums onnational territory. That seems to bethe ceiling for international artistsbut we intend to top it with TheSoul Cages."
Berwick admits he is helped bythe fact that Sting's album is the
first of the big international relea-ses expected this year. But he be-lieves the artist's profile is huge."He received pre-release exposureon the TV series 'Rock Cafe'. Andthe fact that it was a much -awaitedrecord led to excellent airplay ofthe single All This Time. The Maydates of the Italian leg of his tourare also perfect timing for us."
Berwick confirms that the singlereceived powerplay on most na-tional stations. "And it was impor-tant that it was released almost fourweeks before the album. It is al-most impossible to concentrate air-play on one song. The gap betweensingle and album was instrumental
in the build-up of anticipation andexcitement for the record. But nowthat we've serviced the album,there is airplay on almost everytrack. That disperses a lot of theconcentration that we feel we needto establish a song. It is hard to ad-vertise an album if you do not havea hit single from it. The hit singledoes not exist in Italy. You eitherhave a radio hit or you have not-hing. But with All This lime wehad a so-called radio hit which washelpful. It assists with radio andTV advertising because the songcan be associated with the album."
A&M product managerGiovanni Arcovito says the singlepresents the artist in a new vein. "Itis light and has nothing to do withpolitics or the environment. Therest of the album has a personaltone, and although the single wasreceived favourably by broadcas-ters, they were also surprised. Thereaction to the second single, MadAbout You, will be much better. Itis the Sting that Italians recogniseand it is perfect for the nationalmarket."
SMILING FACES - Phonogram and Rete 105 celebrate the latest award for Elton John's album "The Very Best ofElton John". The two companies partnered for a promotional and radio ad campaign.

Ricordi MD Matteo Rignano,responsible for running 26 na-
tional outlets, hopes the new ini-tiative will not be limited tobroadcasting. "Time will tell, butthe owners of the stations arevery creative.

Backed by a number of localcompanies and both theConservative and SocialDemocratic parties in Finland,Radio West opened in February1990. It targeted the 30-45 agegroup, employing well-knownDJs, but consistently failed toattract local advertisers.

But of the three private stationsin Helsinki we were alwaysnumber three. The marketingand sales sides couldn't deliveragainst that competition."
Competitors Radio City andRadio Ettan both target ayounger audience withEHR/rock-based formats.These, say industry insiders, arefar more attractive to Finnishadvertisers than the over -30s.
"With hindsight, Radio Westcould probably have survived ifit were smaller," continuesAhrenberg. "From the beginninga lot of money was put into thestudios and staffing --there were20 full-timers and about thesame number of freelancers --sothat the finances were alwaysstretched. If the station had beenallowed to start modestly andgrow with the market, therewould have been no problem."
The fate of Radio West's FMfrequency has yet to be decided,although Ahrenberg says thereare no known plans to revive orreplace the station.
Comments Finnish privateradio association SPRL chair-man Nils Tuominen, "The clos-ures show how hard the industryhas been hit by the recession.There is a decline in business,and even big advertisers such asbanks, car dealers, and restau-rants are pulling out becausethey're going through hardtimes, too."

Telephone Request Lines:
The Undervalued AssetDiscover a gold mine hiding inside your existing radiostation. A simple telephone request line pays big divi-
dends, both in the search for new listeners or just to incre-ase the listening -time of an existing audience. Let's look
at some reasons why it is such an undervalued asset.
by Scott Lockwood
The telephone request line esta-blishes a link between the listenerand your radio station. Lees notforget we are in the business ofcommunication, and spend 99%of our time talking to listeners viathe microphone. The telephonegives each listener a special andpersonal way of communicatingback to us. Listeners who contactradio stations even just once goaway with an impression that cre-ates a bond to last a lifetime.
It is worth taking a few minu-tes, perhaps half -an -hour, to askyourself if you are really gettingthe most from these lines. Do thephones ring a lot or are theymostly silent? Do presenters often
ning and your audience is gro-wing incrementally. This is not anexact science nor is this a guaran-tee, but it is safe to say that activephones mean an interested au-dience. Getting your audience tocommunicate with you increasesthe chance that they will reportyou in an official rating survey.
The people that call are youractive listeners. These are thepeople who love radio the mostand serve as opinion leaders whe-rever radios are found. Servingthis group is of the utmost impor-tance.
The manner in which they aretreated and served by your radiostation could determine the fateof how they will report you to theratings. Resolve to handle each

tell you of new listeners that havecalled during their programme?Or do they complain about thesame group of five people callingevery day?
If you are constantly hearingfrom new listeners and the phonerings frequently, you can assumethere are plenty of people liste-
phone call as if it were an ounceof gold, because it truly is. Evenjust a few phone calls handledwell from survey participants canmake a difference to your results.
Additional BenefitsListener phone calls can also actas a form of inexpensive research
that can be used as a program-ming tool. Presenters or telep-hone operators who answer thephones can obtain valuable basicinformation from callers, such assex, age, location and musicalpreferences.
When presenters answer the te-lephone it can actually help im-prove their performance on theair. As we all know, it can get aw-fully lonely in the studio at times.Presenters often need a link to theoutside world.
Rating surveys are nothing butnumbers games. Answering agroup of phone calls is the same.The more phones that are answe-red then the more listeners are tal-ked to and the more your au-dience is liable to increase. Atypical presenter can answerabout 10 phone calls an hour as aside to their regular on -air duties.In a typical 24 -hour day, thattranslates to 240 calls. This maysound like a pittance to some, butthe numbers multiply surprisinglyfast.
How It WorksA short sales pitch should wrapup each call by inviting listenersto listen longer or at other loca-tions. For instance, if they are cal-ling from home, invite them tolisten at the office. The possibili-ties here are endless. Do not stopuntil you have got them listening24 hours a day and everywherethey go (if you can get away withthat). Have presenters finish each
Five Good Reasons To ImplementTelephone Request Lines
They are a special and personal way for listeners tocommunicate back to us.
They are an inexpensive means of research that can be usedas a programming tool.
The presenter is linked with the outside world. Communicating with listeners makes presenters feel good,
hence their on -air presentation improves. Audience figures are increased through greater station
awareness.
phone call by thanking the callerfor listening and inviting them tocall any time. Allow presenters todo this in any style they like, justbe sure and leave them feelingimportant and sold on the station.
How To Implement APhone ProgrammeSchedule a special staff meetingwith your presenters to discuss thetopic. About an hour should do.Use this time to instil in each pre-senter's mind how important it isto find new listeners and take careof existing listeners on the phone.
Develop a blank form for allpresenters to use to accurately re-cord all information taken fromthe phone.
Do not let presenters get lazyand use scrap paper. Keep anample supply of forms in the stu-dio at all times.
Designate a file for presenters toplace finished request forms at theend of each shift.
Create another form especiallyfor your private use to record rawnumbers of requests taken for eachpresenter's shift. After a shortwhile, not only will you be able tosee who is getting great response,you will also be able to chart somegreat graphs and later see how it
correlates with ratings results.Get a highlighter in your favou-
rite colour to highlight significantsong requests of new recordingsetc. It is not necessary to keeptrack of every single request (un-less of course you want to), justget an idea of the trend of newsongs etc.
Keep up with this task on adaily basis. Be sure to really readeach request form that comes in.

MD Laszlo Hegedus says,"Calypso went on -air in May1989 as a semi -national privatestation. It uses an AM frequencyand is 22% owned by the govern-ment. The transmitter actuallytakes in a radius of 120 kilomet-res around Budapest.
"AM is important because mostHungarian retailers have soldonly this type of radio in the past20 years. FM receivers have beenexpensive until of late, and eventhose were tuned to a specialEastern Europe 66-88 MHz fre-quency.
"The secret of success is a uni-que concept which is totally con-centrated on entertainment anddisregards everything which wasstandard to the previously mono-
polised radio broadcasters.Calypso refuses to deal with anypolitics.
"We have a classic rock and ol-dies format, as the '60s and '70sformed an important basis formusical tastes in Hungary. I alsogrew up influenced heavily byRTL and Radio Free Europe.Head of music is Laszlo Toth.
"Research by BudapestUniversity of Economics indica-
tes our weekly reach might be ashigh as 92%, with the strongestage group being 25-35. Anothersurvey, by Szonda, reportsCalypso is listened to by 50%more people than the nationwidenetwork Radio Petofi and 300%more than Radio Danubius.
"I can say with conviction thatin the late afternoon and earlymornings there are about two mil-lion listeners. To be honest, whenwe first started, even our staffdidn't expect such a good re-sponse.
"Only one hour a day do we airtop 40, hard rock and disco.Calypso programmes two charts:the Coca-Cola Eurochart Hot100, and the US Billboard Hot100 Singles chart. Programmingis computerised, created byHungarian software company
NOVITAX."The station carries commer-
cials, mostly local firms. About85% of these local ads are actu-ally our presenters 'endorsing' aproduct from a prepared script.International commercials repre-sent about 8% of total. Peak air-time costs $US500 per minutewith a daily average of five minu-tes per hour.
"I see the Hungarian adverti-sing market growing at around25% annually. However, inflationis running at 28%. But on an an-nual turnover of US$1.6 million,we are in profit.
"Calypso is very keen on 'per-sonality' presenters, often on -airin five -hour blocks. They alsoread the news half-hourly. Manyof our DJs were formerly TV re-porters or rock stars."

Rick AstleyRick Astley 's 87 Stock, Aitken & Waterman -produced debut album"Whenever You Need Somebody" entered both the UK album chart
and the European Top 100 Albums (January '88) at no. 1. The '88 fol-low-up "Hold Me In Your Arms" reached no. 6 and no. 8, respectively,
a year later. Having sold 10 million albums combined, the release ofhis new RCA album "Free" on February 18, marks a new direction.
by Robbert Tilli
The collaboration between Astley and PWLproducers Stock, Aitken & Waterman wasa success right from the start. The first singleNever Gonna Give You Up, released in July'87, was not only a no. 1 hit in the UK forfive consecutive weeks, but it also toppedthe charts in the US, Germany, Australia and12 other countries worldwide. The secondsingle, Whenever You Need Somebody, fol-lowed a similar course. The magic S/A/Wimprint did wonders again. The combinationof the trio's carefree arrangements, andAstley's gravelly voice, continued on the se-cond album with a good result. This time,Astley was listed as co -producer.
The third album, Free, continues his needfor independence. He split with the PWLteam and chose to sign directly toRCA/BMG. According to ChrissieHarwood, head of international marketingat BMG Records (UK), the two-year recor-ding hiatus was partly due to legal problems.She says, "It cost nearly a year to get thingsstraight. And it took another year to writenew material and record it."
However, the split was amicable.Harwood explains, "Astley didn't leavePWL because he was ungrateful with thesuccess. On the contrary, he was very thank-ful. He only wanted to have a more creativeinput in his music. Everything he did wastheir idea, he didn't want to continue likethat. He wanted to do his own material, witha greater appeal to a more adult audience."
And, indeed, it is a different Astley withnew music and a new image. He has matu-red, and his music has matured with him.The initial radio response on the album'sfirst single, the gospel -framed ballad CryFor Help, has been very encouraging, Atpress time, it held no. 8 in the EHR Top 25and was being played by a total of 44 EHR
stations, including 20 on the A -list. In theCoca-Cola Eurochart Hot 100 Singles, itis moving up with a bullet from 46 to 19 inits second week; in the UK chart it has alre-ady reached no. 7.
"He was very nervous to begin with abouthow people would react," says Harwood."It's like starting all over again. This is hisown work. You can imagine he was over themoon about the radio reception."
During 1990 Astley co -produced and re-corded the album with Gary Stevenson (GoWest) at different locations, includingStevenson's Old Schoolhouse studio on theIsle Of Man. They also visited metropoleslike Copenhagen (Werner Studios) andLondon (Angela Studios).
For the 10 -track album, Astley collabora-ted on two songs --including the currentsingle --with Rob Fisher (of Climie Fisherfame) and on another one with Level 42'sMark King (Be With You). Elton John isfeatured playing piano on the tracks BehindThe Smile and Wonderful You. All the stringarrangements are by Ann Dudley of TheArt Of Noise. Famous sessions singerCarol Kenyon appears on backing vocals.
A major European promo tour (includingall European TV shows of significance, andpress and radio) will run from February 21till March 2, kicking off in Holland.Afterwards Astley continues his businesstrip to the US, Australia and Japan. Themarketing campaign consists of TV adverti-sements in the UK; for the rest of Europe,apart from Italy, this has yet to be confir-med. Radio advertisements are scheduledfor Italy and Austria. Also there is a fullrange of window displays for retail.
A concert tour is more or less confirmedfor Japan, but his management (TonyHenderson/London) is still looking for aEuropean concert tour, probably starting inAugust or September in the UK.

Music Program With a Smile. The Comprehensive Advertising
Approach.
A Music & Media Advertising Supplement. Issue 7. February 16, 1991.

RETE 1050 n February 16, Alberto Hazan will be celebrating the 15th an-
niversary of Italy's leading private national station Rete 105.He confesses he was reluctant to get seriously involved at the
very beginning, recalling; "I had tried to form a partnership with AngeloBorra at Italy's first station, Radio Milan International, but that did notwork out. My brother Edoardo was keen to open a station with somefriends and I agreed to participate in a small way. Deep down I wasagainst the idea because I had always thought you had to be the first to dosomething in order to succeed.
"My brother Edoardo was determined and forged ahead. When hisfriends lost interest after a few months, Alberto and sister Jenny steppedin to complete a team that has become a formidable force in the country'sprivate radio sector.
It was never plain sailing, as Hazan explains, "The station was closeddown a hundred times and I was brought before the courts on each occa-sion. Everybody was against us and that includes the government and stateRAI. It was only thanks to our lawyers that we were able to exist. The lawstated there could be no private national station which broadcast live 24hours a day. Even local stations took legal action against us."
Rete 105 was closed down for a full month in 1988, but after winning amajor case in the court of appeal, the Hazans were free to operate. In hisopinion this legal victory encouraged competing stations to develop as na-tional broadcasters too.
Hazan has always taken an active interest in the musiccontent of the station. He says that when Rete 105 waslaunched, all broadcasters were airing the same US produ-ced music. But he noticed that disco music was most popu-lar among young people. Hazan explains, "No other sta-tions would play disco music because it was consideredvulgar. But we introduced it and played it all day.
"We included artists such as Gloria Gaynor, Sylvester,Barry White and Donna Summer. It was melodic musicwith a happy sound, very different from the dance musicplayed today."
After only six months, Rete 105 became the leading sta-
"NRJ is a willingpartner... now isthe time to move."
tion in Milan. Hazan claims that by 1985 all other stations started to copythe music format that they had previously viewed as classless.
"They still do, even today," he says. "They copy our programmes andeven our jingles."
Hazan is adamant his station's rapport with record companies is verygood and professional, explaining, "Sometimes they love us, sometimesthey hate us. It all depends on the promotion that we succeed in doing. Wewould like to be helpful to every record company but sometimes it is notpossible.
"We have 14 hours a day which is useful for promotion and in this timewe have to play about 150 records. Some are rotated two or three times,some are new releases and others are unforgettable old songs that we mustinclude. Sometimes we do not have the airspace record companies want.
"But we are not like a magazine where you can add pages. We aim to beprofessional. If a record does not fit our format we will not play it."
Rete 105 is the undisputed leader in the private station audience ratings.The 1990 Audiradio statistics gave the station an average daily audienceof 1.94 million. The other Milan -based research institute, Datatnedia,claims Rete 105 has 3.3 million listeners each day.
Yet, despite the success, Hazan finds it difficult to predict the future."We hope it will be good but the advertising market for radio is difficult inItaly. We should improve slowly but there are many elements which im-pede our vision.
THE LEADING PRIVATE STATIONS
Alberto HazanA ManFightingFor HisBeliefs
"The new broadcast legislation states that a companycan own three national stations. We made all the applica-tions but we do not yet know whether we will be allowedto have three, two, one or maybe no station at all. But weare working on many different fronts and although it isdifficult I still have room for optimism."
One of the three stations is the Gold 105 Classic/Milan which was launched in March 1990. Initially,Hazan had intended to keep it local, but as the new legis-lation stated that no national broadcaster can also own alocal station, he was hurried into buying up frequencies

uality is the keyword for the owners ofthe three private national stations Rete105, Radio Monte Carlo and 105 Clas-sic. Whether for DJs,. programmes, pro-
motional or advertising campaigns, AlbertoHazan stresses that he wants the best within hiscompany's means.
Up until five years ago he used several freelan-cers to create advertising campaigns to promoteRete 105, Hazan's only station at that time. He ex-plains, "We realised that by working on a freelancebasis we were not getting the service or quality thatwe wanted. There are some top -class agencies inItaly. I wanted to choose one of the best and deci-ded on McCann-Erickson. It knows what we wantfor our stations and realises that its work has to bebetter than what our competitors can come upwith."
The McCann-Erickson Agency has the largestnetwork in the world with 150 offices in 71 coun-tries. It owns 100% of 115 of those agencies andhas been present in 27 countries for more than 20years. McCann is the leading agency in 17 coun-tries, within the top 3 in 28 countries, and withinthe top 10 in 47 countries.
Speaks The Language, Knows ConsumersIt claims that "to speak the language" is the realchallenge for creators of advertising and that this isthe way to avoid the dull, the commonplace andthe stereotyped. It argues that to speak the langu-age means knowing consumers,understanding what they wantand bringing it to them in themost immediate, involving way.
The company says that if ithad to define a McCann stylethen this would be it.
And this style suits Hazan. Heargues that the business of radiois unlike any other. Hazan says,"We need quick results. Someti-mes we need an artist campaignalmost the next day and McCanncan provide the results. We haveconfidence in them. They alsohave the ability to keep me quiet. I want our cam-paigns to be very aggressive but they transformthat mood into refined aggression."
That refined aggression was demonstrated in arecent media campaign which was targeted at po-tential advertising clients for the two stations RadioMonte Carlo and Rete 105.
Investment in radio advertising suffers badlycompared with TV and the press on national terri-tory. A recent survey conducted by Saatchi & Saat-chi showed that the total advertising revenue forthe Italian radio sector in 1990 amounted toUS$208 million. The total for the TV sector, howe-ver, amounted to US$2.736 million. Newspapersand magazines harvested US$1.393 million andUS$1.166 million respectively.
Hazan's Aggressive Radio CampaignHazan is intent on changing the current situationand McCann was faced with the task of creating anaggressive campaign for the trade press while ha-ving to conform with a national law of no compa-rative advertising.
There could be no direct claim that radio is bet-ter than TV. The agency created a series of advertswhich were intended to show the advantages of in-vesting in radio.
Says McCann account executive Monica Giaco-mini, "With that particular campaign it was not acase of saying 'stop wasting your money elsew-here', but to think twice before investing and tothink seriously about investing in radio. The ad-verts were concrete and responded to specific pro-blems."

legislation Giacomini admits that they incorporatedcertain words that have double meanings in the Ita-lian language. And McCann was encouraged byHazen himself who Giacomini describes as "veryaggressive and daring" in his approach to adverti-sing.
Company copywriter Fabrizio Russo says, "Aparticular aspect of that campaign was that we tal-ked of radio in general. The idea was that if some-one accepts the idea of investing in radio then theychoose the best stations. Therefore our clientsspeak for radio because they have the best sta-tions."
Poster Sites, Targeted AudienceA simpler approach has been used in poster cam-paigns to promote the Rete 105 station. Says Mc-Cann art director Luca Maroni, "Rete 105 is tar-geted mainly at young people. And bearing inmind that its airtime is made up of music andwords, we had to create a campaign which repre-sented those two ingredients."
They came up with Yeah Yeah Yeah, the type ofEnglish language that the young listening publicare exposed to.
Maroni says, "Using that type of language ispurposeful and strategic. It is something that youcould only do with radio because such words andphrases are part of the universal language ofmusic. But it was something new. Nobody in Italyhas ever used English jargon for radio adverts.
"Stations may use it on air butnever in their own communica-tions. Our task is to create theidea the concept of radio. NotRete 105 but Rete 105 as beingradio in Italy."
Hazan's company took controlof Radio Monte Carlo in 1987.It transmits mainly from the cityof Monte Carlo with a youngAC format which also includesnew age music and jazz. It alsobroadcasts news and sportsnews. It targets the 22-44 yearolds an audience which Hazan
terms "cultural and upwardly mobile".
Monte Carlo GlamourMaroni describes the city of Monte Carlo as "verybeautiful a refined environment". In a campaignfor the station the agency claimed a first for radioby using photographs in a series of adverts.
Maroni explains, "It was a chance to sell theglamour of Radio Monte Carlo by selling theglamour of the city. By saying that the station wasa product of that environment it meant that it couldonly be transmitting good music because it camefrom a nice place.
That was the idea. You could not do that with astation in many other cities. We were sellingsounds by pictures and because the station doesnot transmit heavy metal or loud music it gave us achance to create something softer."
McCann also created a TV advertising cam-paign for Hazan which won an award in a nationalTV commercial festival last year. The campaignfor Rete 105 was made up of different 30 secondspots which focused on the music of QuincyJones, Sinead O'Connor, Michael Jackson, U2,Sting, Vasco Rossi, Cindi Lauper, Litfiba,Prince, George Michael, Berlin and DuranDuran.
The agency claims that with no other stationbeing involved in TV commercials it gave it theopportunity of being first. The task was to createsomething different to promote the station's musicand programmes.
Russo says, "We did what the market leaderscan do by just selling the product and signing itwith its name. We did not want anything thatlooked cheap for this kind of station."

The owners of Rete 105 pride themselves inthe comprehensive service they give national adver-
tisers. Jenny Hazan, co-owner of the station says,"We do not just take the money and run. We try to
help them solve any problems they may confront."
The service may include help :with preparing thescript for the spot or going into the studio withthe customer or advertising agency to assist with
the actual recording. Rete 105 believes it has the rightkind of radio know-how to profit from the tricks andsound effects that can often make adverts sound better.
The Rete 105 full -service treatment is also given tocompanies that sponsor programmes or on -air competi-tions. Says Hazan, "We take care of securing the permitwhich is legally required for a competition. We also takecare of paying the necessarytaxes and make sure that he win-ner or winners receive their pri-zes."
At the end of the exercise thecustomer will be charged for allexpenses incurred, but Rete 105saves the time of its clients by ta-
buying the concert rights, renting the satellite and ensu-ring that the signal arrived at the station's studios.
Hazan explains, "We also organised the trip for thewinners and took care of all the details in such a big ope-ration. The only thing that Grundig had to do was pay thebill at the end."
Hazan is convinced that the kind of service offered isvery important especially in Italy's radio market. Hazansays, "You can do anything in radio but most agencies andadvertisers do not know what you can do.
"We want to show them that by giving this service theyare not confined to sponsoring. They can also get invol-ved in promotion and we make it easy for them."
Denim, the men's cosmetics firm, sponsor the stationwith a stand at the annual Bologna Motor Show. Onceagain Rete 105 takes on all the organisation.

king the weight of Italian bureaucracy on its shoulders asoften as possible.
Sponsorship SequenceA permit to promote a sponsored competition for exa-mple, has to be authorised by the ministry of finance inRome. This time-consuming process can take up to amonth to complete. Grundig launched a competition lastyear. The major prize was a trip to the Knebworth con-cert. Other prizes included car radios.
Backed by Grundig, Rete 105 broadcast the event live.Hazan says that the station took on responsibility for

the public. It is not that easy to organise but we stage upto 60 such events in six months," says Jenny Hazan.
Companies which have taken advantage of such anevent include Bacardi and Coca-Cola. Hazan maintainsthat it is necessary to offer something more than plain ad-vertising and she believes the company's service works.
"Coca-Cola has renewed its contract for 1991 and mostother customers renew their contracts because they arehappy with the service we give. Of course they do notonly buy the service --this is something extra. When theybuy something it is the programme or advertising space,but we can offer a whole package."
She believes that her company is the only operator inthe private radio sector that can offer such a service,saying "We have a promotion department, an advertisingdepartment and of course a programme department.
"We try to find solutions to every problem because if itworks for the customer, it works for the station. We havea very strong company with a lot of departments workingclosely together. We act as a team."

RETE 105uric director Alex Peroni has been with Rete 105 since the beginning of 1977. Inthose days, the idea of format was virtually unknown in Italy.DJs just bought and played a random selection of records. If any kind of format
did exist, it was of disco music with artists such as Donna Summer, Daddy Cool, Boney Mand Silver Convention heading the vanguard of uptempo dance music.
"Italian radio was greatly influenced by the US," explains Peroni. "It was all about funkymusic served up by the deep, deep voice of the DJ. It was serious and sophisticated stuff, but wedecided to move in a different direction by smiling while we were talking on -air. We wanted toproject happiness and backed this up with disco music which contained its own smile."
He says this new strategy was so strong that within six months the station became leader andhas been in that position ever since. Rete 105 has stayed with its policy of positive music de-spite the many different styles and fashions which have come and gone over the years.
Not Always Easy, Melody LostBut Peroni admits that it has not been easy, particularly since 1986, saying, "We had to give upairing some disco music because it had lost its sense of happiness and melody. We could playPump Up The Volume and S'Express but little else. And, if you listen to that kind of music nowit is pop, considering what is being released in the US.
Reaching Those Parts OtherMusic Directors Never Reach
"We used to air some rap but now we do not. We include more popbecause melody is all-important on radio in Italy. You have to be able tolaugh along with the DJ and sing along with the song."
Peroni says that the two main problems for him today are that there islittle good music and that his competitors are becoming more profes-sional.
"If I could have 100 good songs a month I could always be ahead ofmy competitors. If there are only 20 it is difficult to stay in front. Every-thing is down to the way you programme oldies and nationally -produ-ced music now."
Peroni had a policy of not including any pre -1976 product on theplaylist but says he has not only been forced to cover the span from1965-1990 but has also had to add more Italian music.
Segueing Beatles With Secchi!"The only problem with that," he says, "is to find a way of matching theBeatles with The Scorpions cir Eros Ramazzotti with Stefano Secchi.Selector gives us help but we do not rely on it totally because it doesnot have soul."
The current music format of Rete 105 consists of 50% new releases,20% Italian music and 30% oldies. Peroni thinks that this might changein the future to include a larger percentage of new product. "The pro-blem is," says Peroni, "that every season we wait for something newand exciting to happen but it never does."
The playlist at the station, which includes about 80 new releases aweek, is compiled by Peroni and programmers like Angelo de Robertisand Claudio Pucco. About 70% of product is bought on import. SaysPeroni, "We buy the records because we have to. Obviously we do notplay everything but we have to listen to it."
Jeannine Orrigo works very closely with Peroni. Her PR role forRete 105, Radio Monte Carlo and 105 Classic involves close liaisonwith all record companies.
"She works very closely with Peroni and approaches companies toget national release information on all product. Orrigo is also responsi-ble for organising artist promotion campaigns but these are not confinedsolely to airplay at Rete 105.
Exclusivity A Byword"The station is involved in airing exclusive interviews with major acts,exclusive pre-release airplay, on -air advertising and joint 1'V campaignswhich act as an excellent vehicle for getting the logos of all stationsacross to a wide public.
Artists, including Zucchero, Duran Duran and Simple Minds havealso mentioned the station directly on TV adverts. Orrigo says that theco-operation with record companies has developed into an almost per-fect promotional machine and that the success of many artists is con-nected directly to the support of Rete 105.
Peroni, who also has a finger in the music programming at 105 Clas-sic and Radio Monte Carlo believes that whoever wants to sell music inItaly can find the best markets with the three stations. Peroni says,"Rete 105 is the new market leader. Radio Monte Carlo has a selectiveaudience of more than one million with its format of young AC plusnew age and jazz.
"The Gold format of 105 Classic offers greatest hits from Elvis Pres-ley through to Supertramp." DS

' RETE 105THE NAME OF THE GAME IS SELLING
since starting out in 1977with four sales agents anda secretary, Nove NovePubblicata has grown dra-
matically. It is now a company em-ploying more than 50 people in itssales, marketing and creative de-partments.
When the company was firstlaunched, there were a few hundredlocal stations broadcasting on na-tional territory. Alberto Hazan saysthat no company was interested insecuring advertising clients for theemerging radio sector as the cost ofevery spot was so small, there waspractically no profit involved. Butinvestment revenue was needed todevelop the Rete 105 station and inits first year of business Nove NovePubblicita made MOO million (app.US$348.000).
"Quite good for the time," saysHazan. "But we managed to grow,so that in 1990 we made L31 billionwith 250 national clients plus about3.000 local investors." Hazan putsthe success down to the organisa-tional structure of the company. Atthe same time, he admits that the re-sults could and should be better.
He explains, "Our annual turn-over should be L70 or L80 billionbut the market is very slow andmost investors prefer TV, magazi-nes and newspapers." However, heis optimistic that the market willimprove and that his company hasthe potential to get its share.
Feelings SharedThis feeling is shared by Nove No-ve's GM Roberto Meazza whosays, "When this country's newbroadcast legislation is introduced itshould bring about a new sense ofprofessionality to the whole radiosector which will appeal to adverti-sers.
"The future is also about speciali-sed radio, like in the US. Our threenational stations Rete 105, RadioMonte Carlo and 105 Classic fitthe bill."
Nove Nove Pubblicita created itsmarketing department in May lastyear. Marketing director MaurizioSina says the first task was to col-lect all possible information aboutthe market in order to establish adatabase which would help the salesteam.
He cites the two research institu-tes Nielsen and Abacus as beingextremely useful for the statisticsthey provide.
Says Sina, "Nielsen is a very im-portant source of information forunderstanding which markets theclients are spending money on.Abacus provides quantitive data formore than 500 different markets. Itgives the penetration of consumersinto those markets."
The research gives Nove NovePubblicita the opportunity to informpotential clients that audiences forRete 105, Radio Monte Carlo and105 Classic are the biggest consu-mer groups of certain products. Sina
gives the example of energy drinkGatagrade. Consumers of energydrinks are concentrated within theage groups of 15-24 and 25-44.Rete 105 is the national leader ofthese two target groups with a com-bined total of 1.63 million listenersa day (Audliradio).
Sports AudienceThe listeners of Rete 105 and RadioMonte Carlo consume more energydrinks than all their media competi-tors (see table B). On top of that,Nove Nove Pubblicita says that theaudiences of Rete 105 and RadioMonte Carlo are very keen onsports. _While 41W of -lire Italianpopulation practise a sports activity,71% of listeners to Rete 105 and62% of the audience of RadioMonte Carlo are sports participants.
Producers of soft drinks currentlyspend L 1 billion on advertising.And while Sina admits that most ofthis is invested in TV, he remainsoptimistic for the future because ofhis company's ability to prove itshigh penetration into the market.
Sina is currently studying newstrategies and selling proposals andis creating packages that will offer aseries of discounts. "The packagesneed to serve two main purposes,"he says. "The first thing is to give agood service to clients. Secondly,we need to spread adverts rightthrough the day. It is easy to sell ad-vertising spaces in the 15.00-18.00slot but other time slots are not aspopular with clients."
The 25-44 age group account for33% of the total daily listening au-dience of Rete 105. But Sina pointsout that from 06.00-09.00 this targetgroup represents 39% of the sta-tion's total audience. Sina explains,"We have to get the message ac -cross that there are major targetgroups at different times of the day.
It may be easier to sell productsto teenagers from 12.00 -midnightbut if you want to reach the 25-44year -olds then the hours of 06.00 -noon are excellent."
Pushing CreativityHe believes that a major problem inthe radio sector is the lack of deve-lopment of creativity and maintainsthat creative people in advertisingagencies stay within the confines ofTV because that is where themoney is.
He estimates the production costsof a TV advert at a minimum ofL200 million. The investment inproducing an advert for radio ran-ges between L5-10 million and nomore.
He explains, "Most of the timeagencies just take the sound con-tent from a TV advert and use itfor the radio. And, of course, whenthey present it to a client, he doesnot like it because of its poorquality. We decided to open an in-ternal creative department. Whenwe go to a client and propose acampaign we will also be able to
offer the creativeinput.
"We believe weare the best to dothis because welive radio everyday. We knowhow advertisingshould sound andfit. We aim to pro-duce everything."
It is a strongand comprehen-sive approach thatSina likes, as hedetails, "We cango to a client andsay. 'We have stu-died your productand your target and we believe thatwe have the best media plan onradio for you. We know your pene-tration and this is the way yourproduct can sound on -air.'
Rosey FutureSina is optimistic about the futureof investment in radio advertising.He believes that the gap betweenNove Nove Pubblicita and its com-petitors is widening to its own ad-vantage and puts this down to theprofessional ap-proach of hiscompany, explai-ning, "1990 was abad year for thewhole advertisingsector. But whilethe national incre-ase only amoun-ted to about 7%,we have a 23%increase in re-venue.
"Now many ad-vertisers arethinking twiceabout investing inTV. The costs aretoo high and au-dience figures justdo not match up to those incre-asing costs. It is also true to saythat many young people do notwatch TV.
"We have an even more optimis-tic target for 1991. We aim to in-crease our revenue by another40%." DS

The History...Rete 105 is Italy's leading private national station with an aver
age daily audience of 1.94 million (Audiradio). It was first launched asa local station at 15.40 on February 16 1976, under the name Studio105.
Edoardo Hazan, PR executive at the station, was the driving forcebehind its initial launch. He recalls, "We were based in a small apart-ment in one of Milan's most popular areas. We had two rooms and verylittle money but we had a lot of enthusiasm. We were a group of friendswho gave up all forms of social life just to have a radio station."
Hazan admits that it was impossible in those days to imagine that thestation would reach the status it holds today, saying, "But maybe some-times the combination of luck, unforeseen talent, creativity and hardwork makes for business success."
At first it was all more of a game than a business venture, but it wassoon realised that the opportunity existed to become a serious playerin the radio sector. Hazan says, "We saw Radio Monte Carlo andRadio Luxembourg as great examples of success. Sometimes wewondered why we could not do the same thing and what was there tostop us."
Hazan was determined to stay clear of the concept of free radiowhich was popular on national territory during the '70s. The decisionwas taken almost from the start to target young people. These were thepeople who had the free time to listen to radio and the competition forthis target audience from other stations was minimal.
Sealed With A SmileBy 1978, the station was attracting more listeners than most competi-tors in Milan. Hazan explains, "We invented the way of broadcastingwith a smile. It was an optimistic approach that captured the hearts tothe listening public. This has been one of the underlying reasons for ourlong-term success."
The station bought all its own records in its first four years of exis-tence. But then, according to Hazan, the record companies realised thisstrength and began a good supply of product. Nove Nove Pubblicita,the company's own advertising agency, began to attract the interest of
national investors and the decision was taken to broadcast in otherregions.
"It was risky," says Hazan. "The thinking existed that a localstation in Milan could not exist in Turin, Genoa or anywhere
else because of its different mentality." But the Hazans didnot accept the argument and expanded.
Impressive ExpansionBy 1986 the station was broadcasting as far as Rome.
It then expanded further south to Naples and by1990 was covering the entire country. Hazan
says, "Luckily we can say that we were thefirst private station to do so."
The list of achievements of Rete 105 islong. Many major acts and artists have
appeared live on -air at the station.Spandau Ballet were the first in
1986. These were followed bySting, Duran Duran, A -Ha,Zucchero, Eros Ramazzotti andothers. To Hazan this impressivetracklist means recognition of thestation's prestige.
Journal PrideHe is also proud of Radio 105Magazine, a monthly publicationwhich he describes as a productof the station's musical know-how. "It was our first experiencein publishing but we believe wehave found an acceptable formatwhich is enjoying great success."
But one of the greatest achie-vements for Hazan is the intro-duction of broadcast legislationon national territory. "Now we arelegal," he says. "Before we inves-ted millions of lire in nothing andI mean nothing. I do not knowhow many people in the world dothat. It was one, long risk."

(continued from page R2)throughout the country in order tocomply with the law. The initialsuccess of 105 Classic has beenastounding say those involved.
The other station owned by Ha-zan's holding company Finelco isRadio Monte Carlo which wasbought in 1987. He says, "I was in-terested in having a station in an-other European country in order tooperate outside Italy where our in-vestment was unsafe in the absenceof law. I knew that Radio MonteCarlo was to be privatised and,although programmes are made forItalians, it is a foreign station."Hazan is convinced that the diffe-rent formats and wide audiencerange of the stations Rete 105,Radio Monte Carlo and 105 Classicgive him the means of competingon the national advertising market.He also intends to expand furtherinto Europe.
He explains, "I tried to launch astation in Germany but the govern-ment, the public and the press didnot like the idea of an Italian bro-adcaster operating on their terri-tory. I have been granted the per-mission to do so and have a
company there."A great believer in European
unity, Hazan is striving to set upUnited Networks Of Europe. Theproject intends to bring the best pri-vate European stations under onebanner so that they can face 1992with greater commercial advertisingpower as well as better artistic mu-sical strength.
He has been working on the pro-ject for a couple of years but admitsthere is still some way to go, detai-ling, "I am still waiting for respon-ses from Capital Radio in the UKand SER in Spain but NRJ inFrance are willing partners." "WhenI first floated the idea it was tooearly. But I am convinced that nowis the time to move." DS

MIDEM 1991 Quota bles & NotablesThe 25th annual MIDEM conference attracted a long list of luminaries, and M&M assembled some of the most interesting comments from the many speeches and presentations.
"Sixty per cent of the largestmulti -national advertisersnever use radio becauseradio is undersold, under -packaged and undermeas-ured. The radio industrylacks ammunition."
- Radio Express presidentTom Rounds
"The tools aren't availablefor radio to be sufficientlydynamic. It's desirable to im-prove our image, productionand productivity. There's alot to be done."
- J.B. Media director-generalJacques Braun
"We need effective ways toimprove the image of radio.It belongs to everyday life,but is too often simply for-gotten."
- Carat Radio director-generalIan Travaille
"The ground rules for inde-pendent radio in the UK arearchaic. I can't see how any-one would want to investwhen these rules are so ridi-culous."
- Pollack Media Group CEOJeff Pollack
"Radio is credible to adverti-sers, and we shouldn't bar-gain. I don't see the mediaimproving if we startingdoing it...in fact, it would gothe other way."
- IPA/Germany sales directorUlrich Bellieno
"We can't ask a machine tobehave like a human, espe-cially if the human is anItalian."
- Rete 105/Italy music directorAlex Peroni, discussing computer
scheduling systems
"Research can be verydangerous if not used
properly or if you over-react to it. Half of the
programmers I've talkedto shoot themselves in
the foot by not using re-search well."
- Europe 1 group MDTony McGinn
"Once you are certain ofthe message, then you candefine a creative contextin a memorable way. The
goal, not the creative,must come first."
- Film House VP/international
marketing director Philip Cheney
"The first man in thejungle usually gets
eaten. We're keepingour life vest on."
- Satellite Music Network'sBob Kennedy, on bringing sa-tellite programming to Europe
"You can't do everythingon contra. We rarely dopromotions that don'thave ad spend directly
tied to them."- Capital Radio deputyprogramme controller
David Briggs
"Negotiation leads tomore ad sales. Yes,
there's a lot of dealingwhich goes on."
- SPER/Italyhead of programming
Bruno Sofia
"Any medium, be it print, TV orradio, should pay for its pro-grammes. When radio stationssay they (records] should befree because 'we are helpingyou to break acts', they arewrong and old-fashioned."
- Sony Music France presidentHenri de Bodinat
"The radio market is going toexpand over the comingyears, with deregulation in theUK, Benelux, Germany andScandinavia. The broader themarket, the stronger it will becompared to other media."
- Europe 2 GM Martin Br sac
AUSTRALIANS AT MIDEM 1991
UP 'N' COMING FROM DOWN UNDER - Topnames in the Australian music industry gathered for a bre-akfast meeting to gear up for the MIDEM conference.From left: Austrade trade services manager ArchieWilson, Australia ambassador *to France Ted Pocock,Festival Music Publishing Group MD Peter Hebbes andExport Music Australia GM Brian Peacock.
"You need to have a clearformat. Choose your targetand stay local. Advertiserswant to know who they'retalking to."
- Los 40 Principales/Spain MDRafael Revert
"As a champion of stand-ardisation, it would bevery regrettable if wewere to confuse the publicwith competing systems."- Philips president Jan Timmer, re-
garding the debate over DCCand DAT
"I am so overwhelmed...) want to congra-tulate MIDEM on their 25th anniversary.It's an institution in musical entertainment,and I hope MIDEM will continue to flourishfor at least another 25 years. Nesuhi wasone of the greats in the music business - aperfect gentleman and as warm as ahuman being could get, and that makesthis all the more meaningful. I'd like toalso thank my colleagues who've helpedmake this medium the enormous successit's become. I really see this award as anillustration of what can be achieved if weall work together. I will work hard to-ward progress and success."
-Jan Timmer, excerpted from acceptance speechupon receiving the Nesuhi Ertegun Award as
MIDEM's "Man Of The Decade"
"Radio is a spontaneous me-dium. I don't believe weneed European guidelines.French guidelines alreadyexist, and I don't wish to seethat spread further."
RTL/France VP Remy Sautter
"Radio can be as effective asTV if (advertising schedulesare) exactly planned."
- HMS/Germany managingpartner Hartmute Scheiber

OFF THE RECORD
Ratings Games
RadioF/Nuremberg is airingpromos encouraging listeners tocall in to receive a booklet tochronicle their listening -habitsand programming comments.The campaign happens to coin-cide with ratings companyInfratest's latest survey period,which began February 4. Thepromotion has not gone un-
noticed by crosstown RadioCharivari. Will Charivari tile aformal complaint with Bavariangoverning body BLM?
Congrats to Winfried Ebert,head of promotion at EMIGermany, for his election aschairman of the promotion com-mittee of the BPW, Germany'sphonographic association.
It's not really radio, but its asign of what the future has instore for Germany. Private TVstation RTL Plus has passed thecountry's two pubcasters in adrevenue. RTL Plus grabbed25.6%, while ARD earned25.5% and ZDF had 24.1%.
Luxemburg(continued from page I)
"The private stations representquite a large industry, and onethat is very much in touch withthe Community's ordinary citi-zens."
His position was supportedby EC Youth & Media Com-mission third secretaryMonique Schumacher. TheCommission would be respons-ible for any budget allocation.Schumacher stressed "nothingcan be promised at this stage. Itis up to the Commission to con-sider any application for fun-ding in the usual way."
AER officials neverthelesswelcomed the commitment.President Sergio Natucci, alsodirector of Italia Radio/Romeand general secretary of Italiannetworks association RNAsaid, "We have to appreciatethis initiative. The EC shouldbe giving direct help to thisproject --both parties will bene-fit and as a lobby of private sta-tions we are at a disadvantagewhen facing the power of thebig state -funded public netw-orks. However we have yet tosee a penny."
AER VP and director of in-formation at Paris -based syndi-cator Ofredia Francois LeGenissel added, "The possibi-lity of a subsidy is a great boostto us. We have to move fast toget the Association reorgani-sed, because the Commission ispreparing a report on the radioindustry in Europe."
Le Genissel and Natucci willmeet privately in Paris onFebruary 22 with the heads ofthe main national private radioassociations in Europe, inclu:ding AIRC/UK director BrianWest and VPRT/GermanyCEO Bernd Rieger.
Eastern European Vogue
Vogue Disques in France conti-nues to strengthen its EasternEuropean operations. The labelreportedly has concluded dealswith Supraphone in Czecho-slovakia and Hungaraton inHungary. Also in France, VirginMegastores has been selected asthe exclusive distributor of classi-cal catalogue Espoir Classique.It's the first time a producer haschosen a retailer as a distributorin the country. More on both sto-ries next issue.
Anyone Home?Read into this what you will.Rupert Murdoch's much -vauntedrecord label has somewhat trunca-ted its answer phone message.Where callers to the London bur-eau previously were told that tireoffice of "Music International isunattended", callers are now toldonly that "the office is unattended".None of our calls have been retur-ned for the past two weeks. Didbankers pull the plug?
Germany(continued from page I)
already established the legality of in-come from spot ads at certain timesin the programmes."
Radio FFH/Franlcfurt station ma-nager Harald Josse says he expectedmost of the decisions. "I am not a bitsurprised, but I hope they will beused in the right perspective. For in-stance, why shouldn't a public broad-caster be allowed to have partialownership of private stations?
"However, when two competitorsfight for a licencse for the same fre-quency and one is a private and theother a public broadcaster, I think theprivate broadcaster should get thenod. Public stations have so manyfrequencies tied up and are so wellestablished they really do not needthe new frequencies, but often justwish to block more competition fromthe privates."
But, CDU spokesperson BerndNeumann disagrees with Josse'scomments on public station's beingable to buy into private radio."Although the decisions made are le-gally correct, they are politicallywrong and we will do all that we canto pass new laws and change theseerrors.
"Public radio ownership of privatebroadcasters is a disadvantage for in-vestors in the new field of privatebroadcasting in Germany. A com-plete division of public and privateradio is necessary to ensure freedomof the radio media."
The most directly affected stationwas Radio NRW, because it is theonly private station partly owned bypublics. Comments station generalmanager Helmut Bauer, "The deci-sion to allow public stations to ac eptadvertising is because financial pres-sure is necessary to ensure public sta-tions are not completely dependenton politics. The licence fees makethem free from depending comple-tely on the potential advertisers. "
Norwegian Chart Talk Spanish Music Stats
Support is gaining for the pro-posed airplay chart for Norway(M&M January 26). The chart al-ready has the backing of a majorad agency and industry execs aremoving the issue to the front bur-ner. We'll bring you up to datenext week.
Grammy HotlineThis is probably your last chance tosign up for MJI Broadcasting's si-mulcast of the US Grammy Awards.MR is setting up a broadcasters'booth and interviewing nomineesduring the music extravaganza. Inaddition to the simulcast, the com-pany has a wide variety of otherpackages. Give 'em a call in NY on212-245-5010 if you're interested.
PolyGram No. 1 In ItalyPolyGram has grabbed the topchart share slot in Italy. Splitting thecompany into two labels--PolyGramand Polydor--is believed to havehelped the company. Details nextweek.
Ramazzotti(continued from page
Music Enterprises, which has alsobeen involved with acts such asSting, Kim Appleby, New KidsOn The Block and Stevie Wonder,has been promoting the LP sinceearly November and the first phaseof the campaign continues until theend of February.
MD Gary Gordon was until re-cently unfamiliar with the artist."We were invited by BMG to attenda concert at the Ahoy in Rotterdam.I was amazed to witness the man'shuge potential. What we do with re-gional stations is basically an educa-tion job. Britain is still hesitant to-wards foreign acts. They seethemselves at the forefront of music.But we have been making goodprogress. Out of the 67 stations wehave serviced, only half a dozenhave stated they're not interested."
Particularly strong reponse wasgiven by MetroRadio/Newcastle,Radio City/Liverpool, BRMB/Birmingham, Piccadilly Radio/Manchester. 2CR/Boumemouth,Beacon Radio/Wolverhampton andSignal Radio/Stock-on-Trent.
"I am keen to continue this pro-ject," says Gordon, "because I be-lieve the man has appeal across thewhole age spectrum."
It is not yet decided whether theEuropean hit single Se BastasseUna Canzone will be commerciallyreleased in the UK. For the UKcompany, Ramazzotti is a long-termproject. Product manager TriciaKelly says an English -language ver-sion of the single could be of greathelp. "The history of Italian -langu-age records charting in the UK isminimal. But Eros coming over todo promotion here would make thejob a lot easier."
Channel 4's Friday -night show"The Word" has expressed a stronginterest in a live performance fromthe artist.

using touch-tone telephones tohelp compile its 50s and 60splaylist. The way it's set up: callup the company, touch 5 for theFifties, 6 for the Sixties, et al.Next plan is to have people calland decide which year.

further action has been taken by theRadio Authority."
The name of the complainant has notbeen divulged, but the spokespersonsays, "The person felt it wasn't right fora presenter to express his own opinionand encourage people to go on a peacemarch."
Jazz FM MD John Bradford refu-ses to discuss matters concerning indivi-duals at the station but says,
"Broadcasters have said that they don'twant interventionist control by the
Radio Authority. That is effectively
what now exists. It is up to broadcasters
to manage their own affairs."I believe that any presenter is an
agent of the broadcaster. If you start ha-ving broadcasters expressing their opi-nions you lose that impartiality and free-
dom of speech is damaged."In a prepared statement. Peterson
points out that the programme wasbroadcast four days before war brokeout and that no guidelines were issuedto presenters by Jazz FM until January28. He says the show was "a spontane-ous and honest response to the impen-ding threat of war and was not in anyway a question of taking sides. In factone dedication was made during theshow to the brother of a listener who istoday in a tank on the front line in SaudiArabia. The music I played, which in-cluded Bobby McFerrin's Peace.Pharoah Sanders and Leon Thomas'sThe Ctrator Has A Master Plan and theMighty Riders Let There Be Peace,was appropriate to the situation facingus that day.
Separately, Peterson says he hastaken legal advice to fight the dismissal.
He planned to attend Jazz FM's nextboard meeting on February 8 where hiscase and Jazz FM's falling ratings wereexpected to be discussed.
