NEW YORK NASHVILLE

July 2, 1997 Vol. 14 No. 26 0.2% SOLUTION. . . Many blessings on this $1 billion deal: First the FCC blesses, then the Reverend Jesse Jackson pronounces his own blessings on the two settlement agreements that make possible the historic $1,075,000,000 deal between Viacom, Chancellor Broadcasting and Evergreen Media. One agreement -- a package totaling $2 million -- covers Washington, D.C. The other (and smaller) agreement covers the New York City piece of the merger. The Commission is careful to note that neither Jackson's Rainbow Coalition nor the New York -based group will benefit financially from the settlements, beyond reimbursement of legal fees. There should be plenty of changes flowing from last week's closings by Chancellor and Evergreen, both in ownership and formats. See page 9 of this week's M Street Journal for details on the settlements.

*1 WITH A BULLET?. . New mid -year Duncan group revenue charts award Evergreen /Chancellor, Clear Channel, Capstar and Citadel bullets for notable chart performance. Suddenly Westinghouse /CBS has a rival, as Chancellor /Evergreen comes within about $200 million in estimated revenue of CBS' $1,018,000,000. Clear Channel's acquisition of Paxson will increase its revenues by about $100 million. Capstar's buying binge more than doubles its revenue and ups its rank from #10 six months ago to #7. While Citadel vaults from #27 to #16 on the Jim Duncan- tallied list. And a familiar group inches into the top ten: Emmis, up from #13 to #10. More details on page 11.

WASHINGTON THIS WEEK Here are the details on the FCC -approved agreements that cleared the way for the merger of Viacom radio, Evergreen and Chancellor Broadcasting. In Washington, D.C., where the Reverend Jesse Jackson's Rainbow -PUSH Coalition had filed against the deal, the companies jointly agree to fund three research studies on minority broadcast ownership for a total of $400,000. They'll also spend $600,000 on a public education effort through the "Minority Broadcast Education and Advocacy Fund." Then another $880,000 to fund various conferences on minority ownership, with former New York City Mayor David Dinkins serving as trustee for the fund. Then $80,000 in scholarship money to the nonprofit African American Media Incubator in Washington, D.C. (continued next page)




WASHINGTON THIS WEEK (cont'd) And finally, $40,000 reimbursement for legal fees incurred by Rainbow. The FCC notes that it found no misrepresentation by Viacom, as suggested by Rainbow. The Commission's Memorandum Opinion and Order also dealt with objections to the New York piece of the deal, filed by Inner City Press /Community on the Move. Terms of that settlement agreement include expansion of recruitment, new internship and training programs affiliated with Hostos College and Morris High School, PSAs and public affairs programming aimed at minorities, and a "discounted bank of advertising time for businesses located in the South Bronx and Upper Manhattan." ICP also gets $6,125 in reimbursed legal expenses.

The FCC adopts a new regulatory fee structure that many will find more fair, since it takes population covered into account, as well as the facility. That's an approach the NAB had been lobbying for. The new schedule of radio fees ranges between $200 and $2,000. But don't pay late: payment must be received by the Commission (not just posted) between September 15 and September 19. Otherwise, there's a 25% late penalty.

Three silent AM stations were officially pulled this week. Renewals of license for Rice Capital Broadcasting's KPWS at 1560 KHz in Crowley, LA; Genesis Radio Company's WARI at 1480 KHz in Abbeville, AL; and Hawkins Broadcasting Company's KLVU on 1580 KHz in Haynesville, LA. All were cancelled per the licensee's requests.

George Carlin still can't utter those famous seven "words" on the air, but the career FCC attorney who drafted the declaratory order redefining "indecency" in the Pacifica case has just retired: John Marino has hung it up after 36 years as a lawyer with the Commission. He was the attorney who actually argued the landmark Pacifica case in front of the Supreme Court, in fact. Marino's many jobs at the Commission included heading the Litigation Division, the Review Board and the Common Carrier Bureau. Marino's last day at 1919 M Street was June 30.

CANADA THIS WEEK Laura Talbot -Allan replaces Allan Darling as the Secretary General and Chief Operating Officer of the Canadian Radio -television and Telecommunications Commission. Darling left his post on June 20. Mrs. Talbot -Allan was most recently Assistant Deputy Minister, Corporate Services, at Environment Canada. Before that, she'd worked at Manitoba Hydro, Bell Canada and the Manitoba Telephone System.

Winnipeg -based CanWest Global Communications goes way overseas to purchase the "More FM" group of stations in New Zealand. CanWest already has television interests in Kiwi -land. More FM founders Doug Gold and Craig Thompson remain with the operation, which includes FMs in Wellington, Christchurch and Dunedin.

ELSEWHERE Clear Channel racks up another station in Milwaukee as it buys Shockley Communications' WZTR for $14.5 million. Duncan's American Radio estimates the oldies station billed $2.5 million last year. WZTR goes into the future Clear Channel Milwaukee cluster of country WMIL, Waukesha, urban WKKV, Racine and standards WOKY. Kalil & Company brokered the WZTR transaction.

Something's happening in Milwaukee that they're predicting will spread, as a way for smaller companies to compete: Two companies contribute their three stations to form one new Limited Liability Corporation to operate and sell for the stations. But they vow to continue competing with each other. Shamrock Communications and Willie Davis' All -Pro are creating the "Milwaukee Radio Alliance, LLC ", which will operate Shamrock's jazz WJZI, Milwaukee plus All -Pro new rocker WLUM, Milwaukee and urban AC WMCS, Greenfield. Davis will be Chairman, Shamrock's Bill Lynett President /CEO and recently -promoted Dan Manella will function as GM. WJZI is relocating to WLUM's new building; WMCS will remain in its current facility, near its African -American target community.

Cox makes both of its pending Birmingham deals Fed -friendly: Bob Neil expects that selling urban WENN to Dick Broadcasting will "facilitate the administrative review process by the Department of Justice, relating to our acquisition of WBHJ, WBHK and WAGG." He may be hoping -- but surely won't say -- that Dick will change WENN's format, away from urban to something that won't compete with urban WBHJ, Tuscaloosa and urban AC WBHK, Warrior (AL) for the urban ad dollars. Dick now has the chance to shore up its own rock position in the Birmingham market, if it chooses a different direction for WENN. (Then it would truly be like the cable TV series called "Remember WENN. ") (continued next page)




ELSEWHERE (cont'd) Here's the future cluster of Cox stations in Birmingham: Country WZZK- AM /FM. Oldies WODL. Plus WBHJ, WBHK and black gospel WAGG. Cox is buying WBHJ and WBHK from H &P Radio for $17 million, and has a separate deal to buy WENN and WAGG from Booker T. Washington Broadcast Service for about $15 million. It's keeping WAGG, while assigning the contract for WENN to Dick Broadcasting for $14.5 million.

Dick Broadcasting expands its position in the Knoxville market with a long -term LMA with country WOKI -FM, Oak Ridge. The Pirkle family will retain new rock sister WNFZ. Veteran Dick Broadcasting GM Bobby Denton will oversee all of the company's stations there: Country WIVK -FM, talk- and -sports WIVK -AM plus simulcast partner WNOX, Loudon, news /talk WIOL and -- starting this Fall -- country WXVO, Oliver Springs. Mike Hammond will be OM, Ed Brantley Director of Sales and Steve Queisser Marketing and Special Events Director.

If it's an 1150 KHz in California, chances are Jacor's been in the parking lot, in the cause of improving the reach of its sports -talk KIIS -AM, Los Angeles. Jacor's Citicasters unit files to buy KMXN, Santa Rosa from First Down Promotions. The northern California station would presumably fit into the re- engineering of 1150 KHz signals that includes KBAI, Morro Bay /San Luis Obispo and KIIS -AM. It's making a major commitment to upgrading "XTRA Sports 1150 ", including the acquisition of Dodgers baseball next year.

Now Jacor's going deeper into corn -growing country, as it buys classic hits KKRQ and news /talk KXIC, both licensed to Iowa City. The deal with Tom Ingstad's worth $8 million, and began with a July 1 LMA.

Walking (some more) In Memphis: In fact, this station (WWKZ, New Albany, MS) is walking about 90 miles, all the way from the Tupelo, MS market to Memphis. Barnstable's about to add a third FM in the western Tennessee market, with the purchase of CHR WWKZ from Houston and G. Dean Pearce's Radio South. The CP allows the 103.7 MHz facility to move its city of license to Como, MS. Barnstable now owns country WGKX and classic hits WSRR, Millington in the Memphis market. Gary Stevens brokered the WWKZ transaction.

Albany Broadcasting adds to its Hudson River Valley assets with the $14 million pickup of CHR WSPK, Poughkeepsie and talk /sports WBNR, Beacon. Albany Broadcasting, Inc. subsidiary PAMAL Broadcasting now owns soft AC WHUD and news /talk WLNA, both licensed to Peekskill, NY. Seller in this deal is Enterprise Media Partners. Albany Broadcasting owns four stations in the Albany market, further up the valley. Broker is Blackburn's Dick Sharpe.

Nothing like an in- market swap of formats to keep Arbitron and the reps hopping: On July 15, Sinclair Communications will transplant news - formatted WNIS from 850 KHz to the 790 KHz slot long occupied by WTAR. While talk- and -sports WTAR makes the reverse move, from 790 KHz to 850 KHz.

Is a cash -strapped university about to "sacrifice public interest" by selling its FM station? That's how National Public Radio President Delano Lewis sees it, and he's mounting a last -minute challenge to a Salem subsidiary's purchase of WDCU, Washington, D.C. from the University of the District of Columbia. It may be too late: The Washington Post quotes a source at the District control board saying "It's a done deal." It's unclear whether Salem would add the 90.1 MHz facility to its commercially- operated WAVA, Arlington, VA -- or sell WAVA and take a healthy profit. It does seem clear that the new owner would likely kill off WDCU's current "Jazz 90" format.

The bragging rights begin here -- The Class of '97 is sure looking different after just six months. Here's the mid -year lineup from the Duncan's American Radio mid- year revenue rankings: Westinghouse /CBS is still the only radio group past the $1 billion mark in pro forma revenue (but relatively flat at $1,018,000,000). But Chancellor /Evergreen zooms to #2 with an estimated $793,400,000. That drops Jacor from #2 to #3, but still growing, with revenues up from $415,160,000 to $502,000,000. Clear Channel's added 61 stations in those six months, and grows its revenue from $291,940,000 to $391,900,000. American Radio Systems drops a rung, from #4 to #5, with $381,400,000. Disney /ABC remains #6 ($278,100,000 to $296,500,000). While Capstar jumps from #10 to #7 ($135,090,000 to $290,100,000). SFX drops from #7 to #8 ($275,910,000 to $275,700,000). Cox hangs at #9 ($205,050,000 to $217,900,000). And Emmis jumps from #13 to #10 ($119,100,000 to $139,800,000). Outside the top ten, it's Heftel ( #11 to #11), Bonneville ( #16 to #12), Susquehanna ( #14 to #13), Entercom ( #15 to #14), Nationwide ( #17 to #15), Citadel ( #27 to #16), Greater Media ( #18 to #17), Jefferson -Pilot ( #19 to #18), Spanish Broadcasting ( #21 to #19) and Beasley ( #23 to #20).




ELSEWHERE (cont'd) Founder Jim Willhight has sold his interest in Seattle -based Willhight Research, Inc. and left its day -to -day operations, though he continues to consult principals Dave Hastings and Travis Gamble in the ongoing ratings and research firm. Hastings joined Willhight Research four years after Jim Willhight launched the small market research specialist in 1981. Today it's still active in many markets near its Northwest base, but also produces ratings reports in markets like Rutland, VT and Bemidji, MN. Jim Willhight says "Everything I wanted to do in radio [like provide consulting services] was a conflict of interest" for Willhight Research. His current project is running KENU, Enumclaw, WA -- just purchased by Green River College, which plans to use it as a training facility for broadcasting students. Willhight helped build KENU pretty much from the ground up; it debuted July 1.

Interep claims radio hauled in just a measly 1.6% of Hollywood's media spending last year -- about $27 million. The firm announces a new marketing effort to increase radio's share of movie studio spending, citing Simmons Spring 1997 research that shows frequent moviegoers are heavier users of radio than either newspaper, TV or cable. The Media Audit has data showing pretty much the same thing, which Interep uses to suggest that studios use radio's Friday drivetime to plug new flicks opening that day.

Westwood One phases out its "Country ", "Young Adult" and "AC" sales networks -- and debuts "The NEXTnetwork", "The Source" and something with the familiar name of "NBC Radio Network." The change drops the previous format -identified concept and replaces it with an approach tied to demographic targets. So: "The NEXTnetwork" promises to deliver 18 -24s and 18 -34s, and includes stations like WXRK, New York and KROQ, Pasadena /Los Angeles. "NBC Radio Network" is a name Westwood retains the rights to, and it's aiming at adults 25 -54 and women 25 -54, with stations like KRTH, Los Angeles and KFRC- AM /FM, San Francisco. "The Source" is another youth network, anchored by stations like WKTU, New York and WMMR, Philadelphia. Westwood will go into the Fall upfront selling season with seven sales networks: CBS Spectrum, CNBC Business, CNN +, Variety plus the new trio of NEXTnetwork, NBC Radio Network and The Source.

At SkyLight Satellite Network and the Northwestern College Radio Network, new Executive VP for Radio Wayne Pederson succeeds a man who's something of a legend: 44 -year Northwestern College radio executive Paul Ramseyer. Pederson's not exactly a newcomer to campus himself: He first came to Northwestern in 1967, and will now oversee both the 13- station Northwestern College Radio Network and the SkyLight Satellite Network. Most recently he's been executive director of SkyLight. A couple of other changes along with Pederson's elevation: Hary Hendrickson becomes VP for the broadcast group, moving up from executive director of the Northwestern - licensed stations. Dale Davis becomes VP /Communications, leading SkyLight and the school's Northwestern Productions unit. Davis has been working at Focus on the Family's Briargate Media since 1993.

ABC hopes you'll log on to a new three -hour advice and call -in show called "Connected with Gina Smith." It features ABC Technology Correspondent Smith, already seen on "Nightline with Ted Koppel" and "Good Morning America." "Connected" airs live from 10 am to 1 pm Eastern beginning October 4.

NEW' YORK NASHVILLE

July 9, 1997 Vol. 14 No. 27

FIVE -IN -A -ROW COUNTRY. Is Phoenix ready for its fifth country station? It's

about to happen, as part of a deal they're calling a victory of "Main Street over

Wall Street ", as two family -owned companies form "OwensMACRadio, LLC." The

families are Owens Broadcasting, founded by country star Buck Owens; and the

Lewis family, which controls MAC America stations in the Phoenix market. Their deal also spells a format change for struggling jazz outlet KOAZ, Glendale. The Arizona Republic says "The Oasis" will switch to country in September, using onetime Phoenix star morning team Tim Hattrick and Willy D. Loon as a wedge. The new OwensMACRadio will own both KOAZ and soft AC KESZ. Owens' other stations (country KNIX and "Real Country" KCWW) are unaffected by the formation of the new limited liability corporation, which will be owned 50 -50 by the two parent companies. Michael Owens will be managing partner for OwensMACRadio.

JONES TWELFTH. . . The format worked on cable radio and now they're putting it on satellite: Jones Radio Network makes "The Classical Collection" its twelfth 24 -hour music format, and its third one to launch in 1997. What's interesting is

that the format is particularly targeting noncommercial stations, with a standard programming hour of 56 minutes of Beethoven, Bach and Brahms. A quick check of

the M Street database of U.S. radio stations reveals that just 46 commercial stations do the classical format full -time, versus 423 non -commercial stations who do at least some classical. The launch puts Jones in competition with classical music specialist providers like the Beethoven Network. Also interesting: The "Classical Collection" format originated on Jones Radio Network's sister cable radio service called "Superaudio." That's a pattern Jones has used with some other music formats. Francis Padilla is operations manager for "Classical Collection ", and hosts its weekly "Ars Nova" feature. Charley Samson will be the service's signature voice.

WASHINGTON THIS WEEK Waiter, bring the FCC Chairman here a Shirley Temple: Reed Hundt pushed for and got a public vote on a proposed hard liquor investigation at last Wednesday's monthly Open Meeting. Going in, he knew he'd lose, and that's just what happened. Commissioner Susan Ness was his only other "yea" vote, as Jim Quello and Rachelle Chong stuck by their earlier positions that the matter properly belongs over at

the FTC. The 2 -2 vote means the proposed fact - finding inquiry is dead, at least for now. Hundt says the defeat "frustrates legitimate debate." His official statement also makes a tantalizing reference to a "private document gathering at

the FTC into certain alcohol ads ", but says it "neither precludes FCC action nor explains any unwillingness to act on our part." The NAB continues to say Hundt's trying to solve "a problem that does not exist ", since most major broadcast entities don't plan to carry liquor ads. There'll be more grandstanding to come on liquor ads -- all four Commissioners issued statements after Wednesday morning's vote, and politicos will find it convenient to keep reheating the issue.

The State University of New York will just have to keep sharing its Rosendale- licensed 88.7 MHz frequency with WRHV, Poughkeepsie. There aren't many shared - time arrangements left in the U.S., and SUNY wanted out of this one by applying for a new facility at 102.5 MHz, in the commercial band, allotting Channel 273A to Rosendale and modifying WFNP's license to operate there. But SUNY did not ask the Commission to reserve the 102.5 MHz frequency as noncommercial, and the FCC had a

problem with that. Now it has just denied SUNY's Application for Review. Part of

its reasoning: "There is no assurance, beyond the present intention of SUNY, that

Rosendale will continue to have a local noncommercial educational service." So it

found no overriding public interest benefit in moving WFNP up to 102.5 MHz. The MO &O also denies Aritaur Communications' Motion to Strike and terminates the whole proceeding (MM Docket No. 93 -17).

WCLT and WCLT -FM, Newark, OH receive license renewals along with an $8,000 fine for EEO program deficiencies, and reporting conditions in the new license period. It's another instance of a Rainbow Coalition filing that prompts the FCC to delve into a licensee's EEO history. What it found was, as usual, no actual discrimination, but shortcomings in minority recruitment and self- assessment.




WASHINGTON THIS WEEK (cont'd) Get it in writing: KOA, Denver thought it was on solid ground after it called the FCC and played a couple of Chamber of Commerce commercials over the telephone for a staff member. Even after it got hit with a $10,000 NAL for violating the sponsor ID rule, it argued that good faith should be a mitigating factor. But the Commission wouldn't be moved by the Application for Review. It says the basic question is whether the spots complied with the sponsor ID rule, and insists the licensee is responsible for compliance. So the Commission rejects Jacor's arguments in a now - famous case involving a campaign by the Cripple Creek Chamber of Commerce campaign that aired on KOA. It also claims the famous phone call to the Commission actually was made to check out whether the spots violated the lottery rules, and not sponsor ID. But -- Jacor does get to write out a check for $4,000 and not $10,000, based on an appeal court's ruling that the FCC improperly adopted its schedule of forfeitures a couple of years back.

Is this another sign of where the FCC's going on radio /TV cross -ownership? George Flinn's Flinn Broadcasting gets a permanent one -to -a- market waiver for his purchase of WJOI, Germantown, TN from Omni Broadcasting Company. Flinn was already carrying a waiver granted in 1995 so he could own WFBI (TV), Memphis, WHBQ, Memphis, WOWW, Germantown and KXHT, licensed to Marion, AR. Now the Commission allows him to add WJOI to his holdings, based on several grounds: Cost savings from joint ownership, the fact that the facilities involved are "technically modest ", and the fact that several competing broadcast entities already have stronger combos.

And perhaps another straw in the wind in the radio /TV cross -ownership debate: The Commission grants Clear Channel a temporary -- but not permanent -- waiver of the rules to allow it to purchase WLAN and WLAN -FM, Lancaster, PA from Peoples Broadcasting. What complicates the Clear Channel situation is that it's currently operating a second TV station in the Harrisburg market under an LMA. The Commission currently treats TV LMAs differently than radio contracts, for purposes of ownership attribution. But that could change, under proposed rules. Those would allow for most, but not necessarily all, current TV LMAs to be grandfathered judged on competition and diversity. Clear Channel now owns WHP -TV and LMAs WLYH -TV. The Commission saw no immediate problems and granted a temporary waiver.

Oops, we goofed, but you still owe us the $10,000. That's the gist of what the FCC just told KKIQ, Livermore, CA: Yes, the Commission staff "discovered" a

previous filing by owner Tri- Valley Broadcasters and has rescinded the Notice of Apparent Liability which was "inadvertently imposed" on December 17, 1996. That's the good news; the bad news for KKIQ is that the FCC still found deficiencies in its EEO program and is issuing a new fine for $10,000 (MO &O, FCC 97 -165).

Commissioner Jim Quello's new Legal Advisor is current staffer Paul Gallant, serving "on a detail basis" to replace James Coltharp. Gallant will be specializing in telecommunications policy and common carrier matters. Coltharp's now Special Counsel to Commissioner Quello.

Fatima Response's KZRO at 100.1 MHz in Dunsmuir, CA was granted modification to change to commercial status by the Commission this week. The oldies station is currently in an LMA with Big Tree Communications.

The following channel allocations were inadvertently listed on the FCC's window notice for the filing of FM broadcast applications released June 20, and should be deleted: Palmer, AK Cl at 95.5 MHz and Longview, TX, C2 at 97.3 MHz.

Word of Faith Fellowship's WEMG -FM in Crete, IL had its license renewal grant returned to pending status, for failure to meet the conditions of the grant.

ELSEWHERE That was the week that was at the country's largest station group operator: Capstar closes on its fold -in purchase of GulfStar...and adds a prominent non - broadcaster to its board. The fifth member of the Capstar board is Southern Methodist University President R. Gerald Turner. Brothers Steve Hicks and Tom Hicks already sit on the board along with Larry Stuart and Eric Neuman. Capstar says it's now up to 241 stations, and its acquisitions have now passed the $1 billion mark in enterprise value.

Shades of station. Bloomsburg, newspaper,

1951 or so: The local newspaper in Bloomsburg, PA is buying a radio Columbia- Montour Broadcasting sells adult standards /oldies WCNR, PA to Community Communications, a subsidiary of The Press -Enterprise

in Bloomsburg- Berwick. Price is $130,000. Ray Rosenblum brokered.




ELSEWHERE (cont'd) John Kluge wants an even bigger slice of Hungary's radio business, as his Metromedia International says it plans to bid on one or both of two national FM frequencies about to come up for auction. Reuters reports that Metromedia' already got about 49% of Hungary's radio listenership through its ownership of Juventus Radio. It also owns stations in the Czech Republic, Russia, Latvia and Estonia.

Could Mel Karmazin be moving CBS into the overnight trucking business? Overnight truckers programming, that is. The Chicago Sun -Times reports that WBBM (AM), Chicago "has landed Fred Sanders as host of a new overnight travel information show geared to truckers on the road." WBBM's current overnight news anchors (Steve Crocker and Walt Hamilton) will continue to be heard, as Sanders contributes segments targeted at truckers. His long history with the genre began at WMAQ, Chicago in 1975; he went on to found the Interstate Radio Network. The current crop of competitors includes the syndicated Road Gang (based in Nashville), Bill Mack (out of WBAP, Ft. Worth /Dallas), Jacor's "Truckin' Bozo" show (syndicated out of WLW, Cincinnati), as well as Interstate.

An unexpected ownership flip coming in Chicago? The Sun -Times speculates that Douglas Broadcasting, which just agreed to buy urban WEJM (AM) from Evergreen Media, may not keep it and run it es an ethnic station. The paper's Robert Feder hears the eventual owner may be One -On -One Sports Radio Network, which has been expanding lately with the purchase of several major market AMs.

We want our $1 million in tax dollars back -- No, that's not Rush Limbaugh speaking, but Corporation for Public Broadcasting COO Robert Coonrod. The Washington Post reports a bizarre twist in the D.C. financial control board's sudden selloff of noncommercial WDCU to a subsidiary of Salem Communications. Coonrod says CPB has given WDCU about a million bucks since 1991, and it wants the board to pay back "CPB and the American taxpayers...so that we can allocate the money to further the interests of public broadcasting." Salem's expected to jettison the longtime "Jazz 90" format in favor of something else, later this summer. It already owns for -profit WAVA, Arlington, VA, now doing religious programming. M Street hears that Salem is unlikely to do what local gossiphounds are saying: Shift much of WAVA's programming to WDCU and make a killing by selling off WAVA.

Steve Dodge at American Radio Systems enunciated his company's intentions to significantly increase its assets in the broadcast tower business -- and the latest move toward that goal is the $70,250,000 purchase of MicroNet, Inc. from Lenfest Communications, based in Jamison, PA. MicroNet's got 127 tower sites on the East coast, in California and Texas, with more on the drawing board. American Radio is also acquiring MicroNet's video transport operations. Seller Lenfest is 50% owned by cable giant TCI. American Radio's doing the deal through its American Tower Systems division.

United Stations Radio Networks is buying Christian program producer Right Turn Radio, based in Dallas. Right Turn does American Christian Music Review (hosted by KSCS personality Linda O'Brian), Face -to -Face and Face -to -Face II (hosted by Right Turn founder and principal Terry Wright). All three are weekend shows, and join United Stations' own "Sonrise" as contemporary Christian program offerings. United Stations: (212) 869 -1111.

Some starpower at the NAB Radio Show, in the form of a session called "Group Heads: Succeeding in a New Era." Scheduled to appear are Jeff Smulyan of Emmis, Bob Neil of Cox, Randy Michaels of Jacor, Steve Hicks of Capstar, Scott Ginsburg of Evergreen Media and Norm Feuer of Triathlon. Granum Communications' Herb McCord will moderate. You can catch the session on Thursday, September 18.

Chancellor Broadcasting loses Chief Financial Officer Jacques Kerrest to Harte- Hanks Communications, just a month or so before it combines with Evergreen Media and the Viacom stations to become "Chancellor Media." Former Chemical Bank executive and Positive Communications CFO Kerrest had worked with Hicks Muse - funded Chancellor Broadcasting for the past two years. He becomes Senior VP /finance and CFO for Harte- Hanks, based in San Antonio.

Former Westwood One rock programmer Rich Bryan is the new operations manager for Jones Radio Network's "Rock Classics" format. The personality lineup: Steve Cooper, mornings. Bryan in middays.

NEW YORK NASHVILLE

July 16, 1997 Vol. 14 No. 28 CHANCELLOR ADOPTS KATZ. . . Tom Hicks and Scott Ginsburg must really think there's money in radio: Chancellor Broadcasting and Evergreen Media are buying mega -rep Katz Media Group for $373 million. Of course there's more to Katz than radio; it's also involved in ad sales in TV, cable and the Internet. The new owners promise Katz operating autonomy -- something they'll keep stressing, as Katz - repped stations think about having their time sold by a firm whose parent may own stations that compete with them. (All of the future "Chancellor Media" stations are already repped by one of the Katz firms, by the way.) Katz will retain its name, identity, management, personnel, New York City headquarters and regional sales offices. It will ultimately be an independent operating unit owned by Chancellor Media. Katz' radio business has remained strong, but its TV revenues took a hit from the recent wave of ownership consolidation. Katz reported first -quarter 1997 TV gross billings down about 10% (versus a 19% increase in radio revenue). TV accounted for about 58% of its first -quarter gross billings from broadcast (radio contributed 35 %). Katz has agreed to an $11 per share offer worth $155 million, plus the assumption of $218 million in debt. Katz went public in April 1995 at $16 per share, but has been trading lower recently. Its largest shareholder is DLJ Merchant Banking Partners, which came onto the scene in August 1994. Katz Management, insiders and employees control about 11% of the stock.

SINCLAIR CLAIMS FOX'S LEFT- OVERS. . . 24 radio stations and six TV stations -- that's what $630 million will buy you in today's boiling -hot station trading market. Sinclair Broadcast Group finally emerges to say it's got a deal to acquire the radio and TV properties of Heritage Media -- the ones Rupert Murdoch doesn't want. That's because Murdoch's News Corp. is interested in the direct marketing part of Heritage. Final terms negotiated by Sinclair's David Smith are for an all -cash deal worth $630 million, financed entirely by bank borrowings. And Sinclair agrees to divest itself of KOKH (TV), Oklahoma City prior to the deal's closing. Heritage Media Group's current radio markets are St. Louis, Portland (OR), Kansas City, Milwaukee, Norfolk, New Orleans and Rochester (NY). The groups' combined radio holdings overlap in St. Louis and New Orleans. In St. Louis, Sinclair gets country WIL -FM, classic rock KIHT and standards WRTH to add to its progressive WVRV, E. St. Louis and new -rock KPNT, Ste. Genevieve, MO. In New Orleans, Sinclair adds hot AC'WEZB, classic hits WRNO -FM and standards WBYU to its own soft AC WLMG, urban oldies KMEZ, Belle Chasse, news /talk WWL and talk WSMB.

WASHINGTON THIS WEEK It was a complaint that also went to the Department of Justice and the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals, and now the FCC has denied Charles A. Stewart's request for review of Beehive Entertainment's purchase of WZAD, Wurtsboro, NY. Stewart had also fought the 1995 purchase of WALL /WRRV, Middletown, NY by Crystal Communications, also owned by Beehive principal Robert R. Dyson. In fact, Hudson Valley Black Press owner Stewart was an unsuccessful bidder for WALL /WRRV. Now the Commission finds that Beehive's purchase of WZAD fits within the local ownership rules. Stewart had alleged that Beehive would have undue concentration of control in what he called the Mid -Hudson Valley area. The Commission denies his application for review and dismisses as moot his motion to strike and motion to hold in abeyance. Justice has already told Stewart it won't be investigating any further, and the Court of Appeals dismissed his case, on his motion, last February. (FCC97 -235)

You think you could do a better job of running the FCC? The Commission isn't necessarily offering you the job -- but does want to hear your ideas, as it invites public comments on its draft Strategic Plan. Among the broad areas it's looking at: electronic filing systems to speed up applications; faster processing; streamlining the agency itself; reducing reporting requirements; and speedier handling of complaints. Forward comments to: Kathy Fagan, Room 240E, 2000 M Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20554. E -mail: KFagan @FCC.gov. Comments are due by August 1. The FCC's preparing its new Strategic Plan for submission to Congress and OMB in September.

No Reed Hundt, no Jim Quello and no Susan Ness -- at least not yet. Looks like Rachelle Chong will be the only FCC Commissioner to hop a plane to New Orleans to appear at this Fall's NAB Radio Show. There will be plenty of representation from the FCC staff level, though, and they'll be handing out loads of free advice about how to stay out of trouble. Some of the sessions: "How to say great stuff yet dodge disaster "; "Avoiding FCC fines and lawsuits "; "Acquisitions and ownership consolidation: A broadcaster's primer "; "A small market conversation with the FCC's Roy Stewart "; and "EEO, sexual harassment and employment discrimination: Meeting stations' obligations." Key FCC staffers participating on panels include Audio Services Division Chief Linda Blair, Enforcement Division Chief Charles Kelley, Deputy Mass Media Bureau Chief Renee Licht, plus familiar face (and Mass Media Bureau Chief) Roy Stewart. Commissioner Chong will be doing the Radio Luncheon speech on Friday, September 19 and is expected to talk about "FCC activism regarding media content issues and the need to preserve First Amendment rights." The NAB Radio Show is back in the Big Easy this year, and it runs from Wednesday, September 17 through Saturday, September 20.

A quick roundup of actions the Commission took with regard to some non -commercial stations last week: It granted the Educational Media Foundation license modifications to change operational status to educational and change main studio location for two commercial -band FMs. Stations affected: KLVJ, Julian, CA (100.1 MHz) and KSKD, Sweet Home, OR (107.1 MHz). The Commission waived the main studio rule for Living Way Ministries' KTLW, Lancaster, CA. It granted the American Family Association's KAKA, Salina, KS a waiver to operate as a satellite of KBUZ, Topeka, KS. And it approved a change from commercial to non -commercial status for the Association for Community Education's KEYQ, Fresno, CA (980 KHz).

CANADA THIS WEEK:

The CRTC holds the line on both Canadian content requirements and hit -music requirements in several recent license renewals. The Commission denies group owner CHUM Limited's requests to lower the minimum amount of Canadian music played on both CIDR, Windsor and CIMX, Windsor from 20% to 10 %. The CRTC noted that CHUM Limited owns all the local commercial stations in the Windsor market and it wants a "firm Canadian orientation in music programming." CHUM lost a similar bid in 1993. It was also denied a relaxation of the news and spoken word requirements. The Windsor market is next door to the big U.S. market of Detroit. In the cases of CKEY, Fort Erie and CHRE, St. Catharines, the CRTC denied their requests to greatly increase their use of "hit musical selections." The regulators found that most of the competition faced by CKEY and CHRE came from out -of- market Canadian stations -- not "foreign broadcasters."

Beaucoup des changes in Montreal: The CRTC approves the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's application to convert French - language CBF Montreal from AM (690 KHz) to FM, on the last currently available commercial frequency of 95.1 MHz. It has also approved an application for a new French - language classical music FM at 99.5 MHz. There's more: The CRTC's allowing the CBC to convert its English - language CBM Montreal and its French - language CBV Quebec to FM.

Hey, Randy Michaels, there's always Xenia and Zanesville, OH: Now Jacor's at the gates of Youngstown, as it enters yet another Ohio market, courtesy of an $11 million deal to acquire talk WKBN and soft AC WKBN -FM from the Williamson family. The current and future Jacor Ohio markets include Cleveland, Cincinnati, Columbus, Dayton, Toledo, Sandusky and Lima as well as Youngstown. The Youngstown contract is structured in two stages: a $2.5 million option to purchase for an agreed -on price of $11 million. (That's the total price: the option money plus about $8.5 million.) The Williamsons put WKBN (AM) on the air in September, 1926, and the FM right after World War II. Now they're orchestrating a total departure from broadcasting -- they've told employees at co -owned WKBN -TV that it's also on the block. Word around Youngstown is that the family will use the proceeds to expand its already- extensive cellular phone business. Broker Bruce Houston of Blackburn & Company represented the Williamsons.

Re- license it to a new city, buy it -- then spin it. Here's the latest chapter in a radio tug -of -war that's been going on since Tom Gammon tried to move a Carson City, NV FM west to the Sacramento market. Years later, Susquehanna was successful in doing it, and now they're selling KBYA to Joe Field's Entercom for $15.9 million. The station is a 94.7 MHz facility licensed to Carson City, in the Reno market; now the FCC's granted a CP for a Class Bi facility licensed to the Sacramento suburb of Fair Oaks. Susquehanna acquired it along with the now - famous Anniston, AL move -in. But Susquehanna's not a player in Sacramento, thus the spin to Entercom (which owns three FMs there). Broker on KBYA is Patrick Communications' Larry Patrick.

New group Cumulus Broadcasting breaks into Toledo in a big way, with purchases totaling $45 million. Here's how the assembly process works: Cumulus pays 62nd Street Broadcasting $30 million for the Toledo stations 62nd Street just acquired from Fritz. That's country simulcast combo WKKO /WTOD, Toledo, oldies WRQN, Bowling Green and urban AC WIMX, Gibsonburg. That transaction was brokered by Dick Foreman. In separate deals, Cumulus is also acquiring progressive WXKR, Port Clinton from Venice Broadcasting, and urban oldies WLQR, Toledo and AC WWWM -FM, Sylvania from Midwestern.

Citadel pays $23 million -- and throws in just -acquired standards WEST, Easton -- to buy its second FM in the Allentown- Bethlehem- Easton market: soft AC WFMZ, Allentown. There are already local rumors about a possible WFMZ format change to country, which is what Tele -Media was reportedly planning to do with the station a couple of years ago. But that deal (for $9 million) didn't close because of a change in the FCC's tax certificate policy -- and now Citadel has bought Tele- Media, in a neat twist of irony. That's how it acquired AC WLEV, Easton, plus WEST (which gets shuffled to Dick Dean's Maranatha). Capstar owns the other three big FMs in the Lehigh Valley plus news /talker WAEB -AM. WFMZ seller Maranatha says it will concentrate on digital TV (it owns WFMZ -TV), mobile video, and radio properties in other markets. One other piece of the contract -- Citadel also gets WFMZ's FM translator in the Reading, PA area. Foreman Associates' Dick Foreman brokered the WFMZ transaction.

Veteran Bob Dodenhoff will run the newly- formed "Sound Broadcasting, LLC" -- which is starting life with the $5.1 million purchase of three stations in Monroe, LA. "Sound" is the latest group formed by VS &A Communications Partners II, LP and Broadcasting Partners Holdings, LP. It launches with three stations in Monroe: country KMYY (from Radioactive Images); classic hits KCTO -FM, Columbia (from Tom D. Gay); and urban KYEA, W. Monroe (from Phoenix Broadcasting). The M Street Database shows that KMYY and KCTO -FM already have a sales agreement between them. Brad Wilkinson will oversee the Monroe station cluster for Sound Broadcasting.

Every Capstar acquisition sets a new U.S. record -- and you can notch two more stations for America's largest station owner, GulfStar (now part of big brother Capstar). GulfStar will acquire a couple of FMs licensed to Lawton, OK from KLAW Broadcasting, Inc.: country KLAW and classic rock KZCD.

Broadcast owner and newspaper publisher Dix Communications is buying rock WNDD, Silver Springs, FL (Ocala) from Hurricane Broadcasting. Dix is currently the licensee of country WOGK, Ocala. WNDD's LMA /simulcast with WNDT, Alachua, FL continues.

Now it's official -official: Children's Broadcasting Corporation has a definitive purchase agreement to sell its group of owned- and -operated AM stations to Global Broadcasting Company, Inc. The original announcement of their $72.5 million deal several weeks ago sounded pretty tentative. And there was little detail about buyer Global. Now it's identified as "New York -based Global Broadcasting Company." Terms of the definitive agreement include two installments of earnest money -- $500,000 due on July 30 and $3 million on August 13 -- and cash at closing. Children's keeps its intellectual property, programming, affiliate network of non -owned stations, and its lawsuit against Disney and ABC Radio Networks. The Minneapolis -based owner and syndicator also says it's increased its credit facility with Foothill Capital Corporation by another $5.4 million.

"Sprechen sie Deutsch "? Metromedia does -- especially since it just took over Berlin talk radio station "NewsTalk 93.6." John Kluge's Metromedia International has purchased 70% of the station's stock, with the balance held by investor Frank Otto and Europa Plus GmbH. Price wasn't disclosed (in either dollars or marks). Veteran U.S. broadcast executive Carl Brazell is President of Metromedia International. The deal now goes for approval to the Berlin media supervisory board, according to Reuters. Earlier this month, Metromedia announced it would bid on at least one of two new FM licenses coming up for auction in Hungary.

M STREET BAZAAR. . . PEOPLE, PRODUCTS, AND PROGRAMMING

It's still "Coast to Coast" -- but without Bob Costas. James Brown (of Fox Sports) is the new host of SportsFan Radio Network's Sunday evening talk show. The boyish Costas did "Coast to Coast" for the last ten years for a couple of different syndicators. SportsFan says the two -hour show now clears on more than 200 stations each week. Parent SportsFan Enterprises is owned by WinStar. Also new at SportsFan: Stephanie Nussbaum hires on as Manager of Sports Marketing, working with both the radio network and the company's interactive "SportsFan Online." And WIXZ, Pittsburgh PD Sean Carroll joins up as Manager of Affiliate Relations for SportsFan. Rob Scolaro is the syndicator's Director of Affiliate Relations. SportsFan: (212) 681 -1947.

Is it time for a "tabloid talk show" on radio? United Stations thinks so, as it prepares to launch The Victoria Jones Show, focusing on "entertainment, scandal, lifestyle issues and tabloid news" for three hours every day. The host herself says "listeners today are more interested in expressing their sentiments about athletes who bit and spit their way into the headlines than discussing another line -item veto." She replaces the "Left To Right" program currently co- hosted by Barry Farber and Alan Colmes; they each continue their solo shows for United Stations Talk Networks. United Stations: (212) 869 -1111.

Also new from United Stations: A new three -hour weekly country chart program called "Super Country with Ben and Brian ", hosted by the morning show personalities of KMLE, Phoenix. "Super Country" debuts the weekend of August 2 -3.

New syndicator NetStar just launched its first talkshow last Monday: "The Susan Powter Show." First affiliate is KIRO -FM, Seattle. Powter's about to release her sixth book this fall, published by Simon & Schuster. To reach syndicator NetStar Entertainment, call CEO Alan Fuller at (714) 650 -3800.

Veteran broadcasting industry figure Pat Martin Lopeman pops the champagne cork on what he thinks is "the world's first interactive broadcast equipment clearinghouse." His PMA Marketing operation has now sprouted a website called "www.amfmtv.com ", whose purpose is to help engineers and operators buy, sell, find and trade surplus equipment. There's also a toll -free number for those who aren't yet cruising the information superhighway: (800) 678 -4762.

Saga Communications hires ten -year Federal Broadcasting Company VP /CFO Ed Ruffley as CFO, VP and Treasurer. He was a practicing CPA and manager with Arthur Andersen for nine years before that.

Just don't call "1- 800 -Collect" to get your commercial delivered....ad -distributor Digital Courier International has just added the option of having recipients -- mostly radio stations -- pick up the charge. DCI's only billing method until now was to automatically charge the sender. DCI President /COO Al Kozak says DCI Collect will be "a godsend for radio stations who distribute audio that they produce in their own facilities." Digital Courier: (800) 488 -2021.

NEW YORK NASHVILLE

July 23, 1997 Vol. 14 No. 29 BUT WILL THEY SERVE A PRODUCT THEY AREN'T SUPPOSED TO ADVERTISE? . Gosh, radio people lured by an open bar and a party? It's a strategy that may be worth trying....This year the NAB Radio Show hopes to entice more people into the exhibit hall with contests (two of them), friendlier hours (without the Saturday dead time) and an opening cocktail party inside the hall itself. For the Wednesday evening Opening Reception, there will be food and beverage stands throughout the hall -- and both the NAB and exhibitors sincerely hope you'll visit the booths while you wait for the shrimp hors d'oeuvres to be wheeled out. Exhibitors have long groused about sparse traffic during the show (and the high rents), and the cocktail party, contests and improved hours are this year's answer from the NAB. The NAB Radio Show is September 17 -20 in New Orleans.

"JUST ADD BACARDI ". . That's how the radio jingle goes -- but don't ask FCC Chairman Reed Hundt if he'd like a cocktail. Both Bacardi and Seagram are making radio buys and again pushing the hard -liquor advertising issue that has President Clinton and Chairman Hundt so exercised. "Newsday" reports that Bacardi's placed a three -month buy for Bacardi rum on several Long Island stations, to reach the summer crowd. The paper quotes Barcardi brand manager Marcus Perez doing a pretty good testimonial for radio: "You are able to communicate more moods and feeling on radio than on a printed page." (That's what Hundt is afraid of, Mr. Perez.) "Newsday" says Bacardi's spending a total of $2.5 million in radio. Hundt recently failed in an effort to get the Commission to launch an inquiry into liquor ads on radio and TV.

WASHINGTON THIS WEEK As they say in Vegas, the house wins every time -- at least when you've got the FCC ruling on lottery and gaming issues. This time the loser is oldies KRCY,

Kingman, AZ. The Commission's Mass Media Bureau has just denied its petition for

reconsideration of a $3,500 fine for violating the anti - lottery broadcast provisions. It's a bellwether case because it signals that the FCC will continue to take a hard line on gaming issues. The only concession it's making right now is to continue to stay enforcement of the lottery rules for stations actually licensed to Nevada, because of a Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruling. KRCY tried to argue that its signal is widely heard in southern Nevada -- but no dice, says the Commission. The $3,500 Notice of Apparent Liability stands. (DA 97-

1510, adopted July 16)

The FCC granted radio /TV ownership waivers in El Paso and inland California last

week: In El Paso, a waiver of the one -to -a- market rule and transfer of control as the Glyn Wyler and Karl O. Wyler, Sr. Foundation sells talk KTSM (AM), soft AC KTSM -FM and KTSM -TV to Comcorp of El Paso. And in California, the Commission granted a waiver to allow KESQ (TV), Palm Springs owner Gulf- California to acquire regional Mexican combo KUNA (AM), Indio and KUNA -FM, La Quinta from Pennino Broadcasting.

In the big swap between CBS and Greater Media, the Commission gave a conditional waiver of the one -to -a- market rule to CBS in Los Angeles. Through various subsidiaries, CBS is acquiring oldies KRLA, Pasadena (Los Angeles) and talk KLSX,

Los Angeles from Greater Media, in exchange for rock WMMR, Philadelphia and Boston -market stations jazz WOAZ, Lowell and alternative WBOS, Brookline. Now the FCC has approved the transfers.

Clear Channel's acquisition of the Triathlon Broadcasting stations in Little Rock gets approval from the Federal Trade Commission. That deal appears on a list of

proposed purchases that were granted early termination of the Hart -Scott - Rodino waiting period. Stations involved are country KSSN, Little Rock; "Maverick" country KMVK, Benton; and oldies KOLL, Maumelle. Clear Channel's still not home on this deal: it still needs a crossownership waiver, since it already owns Fox

affiliate KLRT television in the market and has a marketing deal with another TV station.

That Biltmore Forest, NC controversy over the 96.5 MHz frequency just won't go

away: The Commission says it received "numerous" written ex parte communications between December 2, 1996 and June 24, 1997 -- plus an "internet e-mail presentation" on June 2, 1997 -- and that they were prohibited under the ex parte rules. That's because they weren't shared with other parties in the proceeding. Now there's a Public Notice announcing that the prohibited ex parte presentations are being put in a public file associated with, but not part of, the record. The dispute revolves around the 96.5 MHz frequency that was recently the home of WZLS. Former licensee Zeb Lee got a big writeup a few weeks ago in the Wall Street Journal.

Veteran FCC attorney Roger Holberg gets a promotion to Legal Advisor to the Chief of the FCC's Policy and Rules Division, in the Mass Media Bureau. Holberg has

been closely involved in numerous FCC radio - related issues like enforcement of

unauthorized transfer of control, deregulation, and newspaper /broadcast cross - ownership.

From the "Please Make Check Payable To" Department: The FCC denies Farr Communications' Request for Remission or Mitigation, and orders it to pays $15,000 for EEO violations the Commission had previously found at talk WESA and CHR WESA -FM, Charleroi, PA.




CANADA THIS WEEK NOW they've got the logger tape working: Another failure to comply with CRTC regulations about supplying logger tapes has produced another short -term license renewal for CKWR, Kitchener, ON. The Commission notes that the station has reorganized its board of directors (after "serious" internal conflicts) and has installed a new logger tape system. CKWR was denied permission to reduce the minimum percentage of category 3 music (traditional or special interest) or to increase the level of hits. Licensee Wired World, Inc. gets a two -year renewal for CKWR.

ELSEWHERE KLOU, St. Louis gets traded again -- this time to American Radio Systems, in a swap- and -cash deal with Entercom. Here's how it looks: ARS is giving Entercom AC KUDL, Kansas City, KS, country WDAF, Kansas City, MO, plus standards KCTC, Sacramento and $3 million cash. In return, American Radio gets oldies KLOU, St. Louis, long owned by CBS. ARS' future cluster in St. Louis includes all- sports KFNS, Wood River, IL plus St. Louis -licensed AC KYKY, soft AC KEZK, rock KSD and now oldies KLOU. In Sacramento, Entercom owns rocker KRXQ, Roseville, and classic rock combo KSEG and KXOA -FM. It also just picked up KBYA, Carson City, NV from Susquehanna, which will cover Sacramento once a facilities and city of license change is completed. In Kansas City, Entercom holds talker KCMO, news -talk KMBZ, oldies KCMO -FM, and soft AC KLTH.

And Bruce Holberg is another former owner who returns to the table. He sold his three Grand Rapids stations to Clear Channel last year, and now he's spending $4.8 million to assemble a four -station cluster in Wichita Falls, TX. Holberg's "Apex Broadcasting LLC" has struck three separate deals in the market: #1 is for hot AC KNIN -FM ($2 million, from Moran Broadcasting). #2 is for oldies KWFS (AM) and country KWFS -FM ($1.4 million, from American General Media). #3 is for soft AC KTLT ($1.4 million, from Pegasus Broadcasting). Patrick Communications' Terry Greenwood brokered all three deals; Whitley Media's Bill Media co- brokered the American General Media transaction.

Two familiar names back in ownership: Former Group W /Westinghouse executives Mike Craven and Jim Thompson are purchasing WPZE (AM), Boston from Salem Communications. Craven and Thompson are doing this transaction under the name of "Hibernia Communications." After Group W, they became principals in the former Liberty Broadcasting -- now part of SFX. WPZE is a 1260 KHz facility currently doing a religious contemporary format as "Praise 1260." Salem retains WEZE (AM), the 590 KHz facility once known as WBNW (and before that WEEI). Glenn Serafin of Serafin Brothers brokered the WPZE transaction. No word on format plans.

BirchResearch takes its next step toward producing radio ratings, with the opening of a new Data Center in Coral Springs, FL. That's where Tom Birch's new company will handle diaries and coordinate phone call operations. Sondra Baer and Nancy Castles -- both managers at the previous Birch operation -- have been announced as managers of the new BirchResearch facility. Birch is promising "the functional equivalent of Arbitron, but with 10% more sample and a 40 -50% lower price tag." The firm is in the midst of a 9 -week Methodology /Pilot Study in Des Moines.

Fearing they'll lose subcarrier space leased from many public radio stations, the National Association of Radio Reading Services is asking Vice President Al Gore to help find new spectrum to help deliver audio services to the visually- impaired. The new issue of "Current" magazine reports that commercial operators like Seiko Communications can pay far more than a reading service for precious SCA space. One of the options: designating spectrum specifically for reading services for the blind.

Microsoft into radio? Everybody from NAB President Eddie Fritts on has joked about it, and now Bill Gates has actually taken a half -step in that direction. Microsoft has just bought a 10% stake in Progressive Networks -- the company that created the "RealAudio" streaming technology that's used by radio stations who broadcast over the web. It's expected that Microsoft will include RealAudio in future versions of its Explorer web browser, among other collaborations.

This time "Radio London" is no pirate: "Wonderful Radio London ", known in the mid -1960s as the "Big L ", is back as part of a 28 -day publicity stunt. It was one of several pirate radio operations based on board ships broadcasting from international waters. Radio London was based on a converted World War II minesweeper in the North Sea. But the British government shut down all the pirates in 1967. 30 years later, promoter Ray Anderson got a license from the Radio Authority for his revival of the station, which includes return visits by many original DJs.




ELSEWHERE (cont'd An important talent signing for SFX: According to this week's Business Journal of Charlotte, SFX has come to terms on a new five -year deal with the syndicated "John Boy and Billy Show." The program's syndicated from SFX -owned WRFX, Kannapolis /Charlotte, and now airs on more than 50 stations, mostly in the South.

If you're nostalgic for the simpler times of "Dobie Gillis" and "Gilligan's Island" -- and oldies music -- this may be the radio show for you. Actor Bob Denver (who starred as both Maynard G. Krebs and Gilligan) and his wife, Dreama, are launching a two -hour radio show called "Weekend with Denver and Denver." It'll be produced in Charleston, WV through Denver's "Country Roads Productions." For information, contact Tom Syrier at 304- 525 -1313.

CBS -related "SportsLine Radio" claims it will become "the first daily Internet program to be broadcast on terrestrial radio." AVI -- that's American View Inc. -- will handle syndication to radio of various online sports talk shows like "The Drive" ( "outrageous happenings on and off the field ") and weekend college and pro football features. Veteran radio consultant Kent Burkhart is a director of SportsLine Radio. AVI: (540) 371 -0100.

AVI figures in another story this week: It has just purchased the assets of syndicator "Small Planet ", which distributes shows like "The Amazing 80s" with Al Bandiero, "Rise Up" with John Ritter and "Lost 45s" with Barry Scott. AVI CEO David Addington says Small Planet president Susan Kaiser will work with AVI on finding more syndicatable radio programs.

Country invades Sacramento: Country Radio Broadcasters' fourth regional event is "CRS West ", October 24 -25 at the Radisson Hotel Sacramento. Actually, Sacramento's always been a good country radio market, but for that weekend it'll have extra programming minds. The 24 -hour event starts with a 5:30 to 7:00 p.m. opening reception on Friday evening, then features a full day of sessions and an exhibit hall on Saturday, October 25. The early -bird registration rate is just $95. Call the CRB office at 615 -327 -4487 for more. More out of Nashville: Veteran WFMS /WGRL, Indianapolis GM Monte Maupin Gerard joins the board of the non -profit Country Radio Broadcasters.

Radio newspeople get their own "track" at this year's RTNDA convention in New Orleans. Sample sessions: Arbitron Basics; Radio News On Air and On Line; and Creating Compelling Radio News. The RTNDA meeting will take place alongside of (but not part of) the NAB Radio Show in New Orleans. Same dates: September 17 -20. For information, call (800) 807 -8632 or visit "www.rtnda.org" on the web.

Another stripe for "Radio & Records" veteran Ron Rodrigues: He takes the title of "Editor -In- Chief ", overseeing editorial at the weekly newspaper, fax publications and website. Rodrigues first joined R &R as AC Editor in 1983. The L.A. -based publication also hires Richard Lange as Managing Editor, and promotes Jeff Axelrod to Assistant Managing Editor and Julie Gidlow to News Editor.

M STREET COMMENT With the introduction of the new urban AC format on Chancellor Media's KBGG, San Francisco, it was nice to see program director Michael Erickson put all of the format elements in place from day one. In these days of stripped down formats that take months to develop, and give the listeners no clue as to what they really might expect from the station, this seems like a common sense thing to do. We hope to see more of this in the future.




NEW YORK NASHVILLE July 30, 1997 Vol. 14 No. 30

YOU SAW IT COMING. It had to be: "Psychic Friends Radio Network." M Street can't quite see its affiliate list, but we'll keep looking into the crystal ball. For now, we do know that a radio version of the phenomenally successful Psychic Friends TV show will hit the air in September, by arrangement with Inphomation Communications' Michael Warren Lasky. Syndicator of the four -hour nightly program is none other than former Dr. Laura Schlessinger associate Allan Fuller. He's handling the Psychic Friends project through "NightStar Entertainment ", a division of his newly -established NetStar Entertainment Group. (NetStar is also behind the recent Susan Powter radio project). Fuller was President and executive producer of SBI, which previously produced Dr. Laura. Inphomation's Lasky says "Many viewers of our program are night owls and will welcome the convenience of radio." Fuller's scheduling the radio show to run from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. on weeknights.

YOU SAW IT COMING. . . Don't tip more than 17 %, and don't stay at the Four Seasons: Even the memos from CBS head Mel Karmazin's office make the news these days. Crain's got its mitts on a memo written by longtime Karmazin associate (and now VP /Administration) Terry Malia, and it lays down the law about cutting expenses. Samples: No matter how much money you saved the company on airfare by going to your destination on a Saturday instead of during the week, thanks -- but a stay at the Four Seasons Hotel is still unacceptable." She also says it's time to shut off the cellphones: "This area of reimbursement is so out of control, it's scary." Her memo also warns about CBS staffers having lunch together and writing it off as a business expense...and spending too much on overnight delivery. None of that will surprise people who've worked for Karmazin in radio: He's always pounced on expenses while pushing for higher revenue and ratings.

WASHINGTON THIS WEEK The good news: The FCC can only fine you $27,000 per day -- max. The Commission has just issued its full schedule of base amounts for Section 503 forfeitures, after going through the whole policy- making process again. Note that these "base amounts" can be adjusted upwards (for things like egregious conduct or prior violations) or downwards. The most costly potential fine doesn't even come with an amount -- just "statutory." That means the FCC can and will levy the highest fines for "misrepresentation /lack of candor." Here's the rest of the schedule, as it relates to most radio situations:

Violation Amount * Construction and /or operation without

an instrument of authorization for the service $10,000 * Failure to comply with prescribed lighting

and /or marking $10,000 * Violation of public file rules $10,000 * Violation of political rules: reasonable access, lowest

unit charge, equal opportunity, discrimination $9,000 * Unauthorized substantial transfer of control $8,000 * EAS equipment not installed or operational $8,000 * Alien ownership violation $8,000 * Failure to maintain directional pattern within

prescribed parameters $7,000 * Violation of main studio rule $7,000 * Violation of broadcast hoax rule $7,000 * AM tower fencing $7,000 * Failure to permit inspection $7,000 * Transmission of indecent /obscene materials $7,000 * Interference $7,000 * Exceeding of authorized antenna height $5,000 * Fraud, by wire, radio or television $5,000 * Unauthorized discontinuance of service $5,000 * Use of unauthorized equipment $5,000 * Broadcasting telephone conversations w/o authorization $4,000 * Exceeding power limits $4,000 * Failure to respond to Commission communications $4,000 * Violation of sponsorship ID requirements $4,000 * Construction or operation at unauthorized location $4,000 * Violation of requirements pertaining to broadcasting

of lotteries or contests $4,000 * Violation of transmitter control and metering req. $3,000 * Failure to file required forms or information $3,000 * Failure to make required measurements or

conduct required monitoring $2,000 * Violation of enhanced underwriting requirements $2,000 * Failure to provide station ID $1,000 * Unauthorized pro forma transfer of control $1,000 * Failure to maintain required records $1,000




WASHINGTON THIS WEEK (cont'd) The Justice Department just parked Sinclair Broadcast Group's acquisition of the Heritage Media radio and TV assets. That's because the San Francisco office of Justice is recommending that the DOJ's antitrust division challenge Rupert Murdoch's $1.35 billion purchase of Heritage Media. Murdoch wants the direct - marketing pieces of Heritage, and struck a deal to spin the broadcast stations to Baltimore -based Sinclair Broadcast Group. Justice's theory is that Murdoch's addition of Heritage in -store marketing units like ActMedia to his existing direct marketing division will be anticompetitive, under Section 7 of the Clayton Antitrust Act. So David Smith is going to have to re -write his timetable, at the very least.

First Congress gets a balanced- budget proposal -- then a balanced- Commissioner proposal. It looks as if the White House will try to package Bill Kennard as FCC Chairman along with Democrat Gloria Tristani plus Republican nominees Harold Furchtgott -Roth and Michael Powell as a balanced slate...and hope they all meet Senate approval. Early signs are that Kennard could have a rough time at confirmation hearings, because influential senators like Jesse Helms and Ernest Hollings have some axes to grind. Current FCC General Counsel Kennard would likely be a quiet, consensus -building Chairman -- something you can't say about the departing Reed Hundt.

Many FM translators near the U.S.- Canada border may be able to raise power and realize other benefits from a new joint agreement to "permit added flexibility." For many, that may include the possibility of increasing power from 50 watts to as much as 250 watts; easing the 34 dBu interfering contour distance from 32 kilometers to as much as 60 km; not having to get concurrence from the other country for translators where the 34 dBu contour does not extend beyond one country's border; and increasing the maximum ERP for Class A assignments from 3

kilowatts to 6 kilowatts. The U.S. FCC says "many translators within 320 kilometers of the border...can now realize the maximum service for translators permitted under the FCC rules." It also claims the agreement will more efficiently use the spectrum. And it's letting applicants get an early start: "Pending the modification of the pertinent FCC rules, applications which seek facilities that comply with the terms of the revised criteria will be considered acceptable." (DA 97 -1595)

Howard Stern generates more indecency fines -- this time for Westinghouse /CBS. The FCC "presume[s]" that CBS -owned WXRK, New York also broadcast material the Commission has ruled indecent when it aired on WBZU, Richmond and WEZB, New Orleans. The amount of the fines is just $6,000, a far cry from the nearly $2 million the Commission was asking several years ago. CBS has the usual 30 days to try to change the Commission's mind about the Notice of Apparent Liability. (DA 97 -1286)

Jacor is about to roll in its third FM in the St. Louis market, with the $13 million purchase of Continental Broadcasting's WCBW, Columbia, IL (104.9 MHz). The station's currently airing both contemporary Christian music and spoken word -- but Jacor may have different ideas about the format. Its current holdings in the Market With The Arch present a strong urban profile: urban contemporary KMJM, St. Louis; urban AC KATZ -FM, Alton, IL; and black gospel KATZ (AM), St. Louis. Locals are speculating that Jacor may be looking to take WCBW to a CHR format. Broker on the WCBW deal: Gary Stevens.

Chancellor returns from a shopping trip to Denver with its fifth FM: modern AC KXPK, Evergreen, CO. It paid $26 million for "The Peak ", which will ultimately join the sizable Chancellor Media cluster in Denver: oldies KXKL -FM; classical KVOD; modern AC KALC; AC KIMN; and talker "Ralph" KRRF. (They're all licensed to Denver, except KVOD, Greeley.) Seller in the KXPK deal is locally -held "Evergreen Wireless, LLC" -- no relation to Evergreen Media. This deal begins with an LMA prior to closing. Duncan's American Radio shows that Jacor remains the heavyweight champion in Denver with an estimated 44.2% share of the market's revenue in 1996. Adding KXPK's estimated $5.2 million in revenue would've boosted Chancellor's share to nearly 23 %.

Tampa owner Radio Tropical, Inc. sells its two Tampa -area AMs to separate buyers. Spanish AC WAMA, Tampa goes to ZGS Broadcast Holdings for $1.9 million. Principals in Arlington, VA -based ZGS include Ronald Gordon and broker Mark Jorgenson.

Something new in Austin: LBJ Broadcasting and Sinclair Telecable merge their Austin radio assets to create a new entity called "LBJ -S Broadcasting, L.P." The new mini -group will own five stations: progressive KGSR, Bastrop and new rock KROX, Giddings (both from Sinclair). Plus rock KLBJ -FM, Austin, news /talk KLBJ (AM), Austin and jazz KAJZ, Killeen (from LBJ). This deal does not include the current Sinclair LMA with KNNC, Georgetown; KNNC's simulcast of KROX ends at the end of August and Rees -Slaymaker Radio Partnership is selling KNNC to Simmons Family, Inc. Here's the revenue picture, according to Duncan's American Radio: LBJ -S would have billed about 31.5% of Austin's 1996 revenue, just behind KASE /KVET /KVET -FM's 34 %. Duncan estimates the market as a whole did $48.3 million. LBJ Holding Company president Ian Turpin will be President /CEO of the new company, and Bob Sinclair COO. Sinclair's stations in Richmond and Norfolk are not part of the Austin merger. Star Media Group's Paul Leonard brokered.

Not everybody in Flint loves the idea of the school board selling off WFBE (FM) to Liggett Broadcasting. Now the Committee to Save Local Public Radio has thrown a monkey wrench into the project -- at least for now. It has persuaded Genesee Circuit Court Judge Thomas Yeotis that the sale process was faulty on procedural grounds -- didn't comply with open meeting regulations. WFBE licensee Flint Board of Education apparently intends to repeat the process, and dot all the I's and cross all the T's this time. WFBE is at 95.1 MHz in the commercial band, and currently does a mixture of classical, jazz and alternative.

Arbitron is re -doing the Santa Rosa Spring report because of crediting problems with 63 diaries that belong to Solano County instead of Sonoma County. The glitch was turned up during a station diary review.

National Public Radio's board votes to fund three new shows in its newly- approved fiscal 1998 budget: "Early Morning Edition "; "Wait! Wait! Don't Tell Me! "; and "Anthem." The board also made headway on the issue of pricing. It's planning to replace the current dues structure, and is looking for reaction to three new models: "pure population" (pricing based on the station's area population "); "pure listener hour" (based on carriage of NPR programs); and "valued -based combination." Those and other models will be presented to public radio regional conferences this fall. The NPR board will vote on a new "pricing design" in November. Also due this Fall: a reorganization of the NPR Program Strategy Board, Member Services and Communications departments.

Children's Broadcasting "diversifies" by buying a significant stake in a TV commercial production company called Harmony Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: "HALO "). Harmony subsidiaries produce television ads, music videos and websites. It had revenues of about $60 million last year. Minneapolis -based Children's picks up 600,000 shares of HHI common stock plus options from Harmony founder Henry Bibicoff, plus another 769,231 shares from French -owned Unimedia, S.A., in a deal brokered by Richard Alan managing director Richard Dorfman. Bibicoff remains CEO of HHI, while Children's president /CEO Chris Dahl becomes Chairman of California - based Harmony. Dahl's also one of the new faces on the Harmony board, as a result of the investment by Children's. The children's syndicator is in the process of selling its owned AM stations and continues to press its lawsuit against Disney and ABC Radio Networks.

WABC, New York is the latest target of Atlanta Olympics security guard Richard Jewell, who's aggressively pursuing claims of defamation against several media outlets. This one centers on remarks made by WABC talkhost Michael Lebron -- a.k.a. "Lionel." Dow Jones says the suit alleges Lebron defamed Jewell when he claimed that Jewell was guilty and "probably will be arrested." Lebron's also reported to have said that Jewell possessed an anarchist manual and generally acted in a "grossly irresponsible manner." Jewell's seeking $7.5 million in damages. Jewell is also suing the New York Post and the Atlanta Journal - Constitution, and has already settled with NBC and CNN.
