THE INDUSTRY'S NEWSPAPER VOL. 3, NUMBER 37

Viner Talks To R &R

Reaction of our front page story on the Jack Anderson columns has been varied and widespread. One of the most important calls came from the man who talked to Anderson, Mike Viner.

Mike called to set the record straight on a few items. First the story about George Wilson selling masters to record companies did not come from him, but from Jack Anderson's own research. Se- cond, the promotion man that allegedly gave drugs for airplay to WVON employees was an independent promotion man, not one regularly em- ployed by MGM.

Viner further stated that it is true he has a book coming out very soon, but contrary to the "bookola" we intimated, he has already assigned the profits from the book to three charities. Viner maintained throughout our conversation his desire to see the industry clean itself up. He says he meant to hurt no one, but rather shock the industry so it would begin the clean up. Viner said, "...the things I

mentioned that were three years old were that old because I felt they would be the closest to the statute of limita- tions. Even though they may be investigated,they would not be prosecuted."

Mike continued that he turned down cooperating with the Grand Jury, and by doing so left himself open for future prosecution. Viner's book will be titled "By The Dawn's Early Light," and contains only two chapters on the music industry. Michael concluded his conversation with us by saying "... right or wrong I tried to use good judgement and do what I

thought was right."

D.C. Station Loses License The FCC closed out last

week by pulling the license of WOOL in Washington D.C. The final action was a result of an earlier ruling by a judge that the station failed to protect its listeners from a false advertising scheme. Station was cited in 1969 for involvement in a numbers scheme, which is illegal.

The station is owned by Richard Eaton, president of

WGUY /Bangor, Maine followed up on the popular "biggest sign" contest, with listeners displaying their creativity with the slogan "12 Rock Is My Number 1 Music Station." The station added some unusual twists for the contest, with prizes going to biggest sign, youngest listener with a sign, and oldest listener with a sign. Some of the biggest signs are shown in one picture, although it was inpossible to display the largest entry, which measured 10,000 square feet. The smallest sign [held in tweezers] measured 1 /666th of a square inch, the oldest listener with a sign was 80 [shown here with WGUY morning man Ron Dean], and the 11 day old youngest sign -carrier.

United Broadcasting Co. Eaton has been given until February 28, 1976 to close down the operation although an appeal is expected.

Rumors in Washington are that the Commission will award WOOK's license to Community Broadcasting Co., an organization made up of local biggies like columnist jack Anderson, and city coun- cil chairman Sterling Tucker.

Quickies Our congratulations to Ger-

ry Peterson and his wife Christy on the birth of their

daughter, Patricia Jan. Peter- son noted when she grows up she'll become "PJ the DJ."

WMYQ /Miami, owned by Bartell, has applied for the new call letters WMJX. For- mat is to remain the same.

WGNG /Providence has a new Pd. Bob Marshall takes over, from WGCL/Cleveland.

Stew Robb has resigned his PD post at WAAY /Huntsville, noting that he wanted to get back into a major market. Also leaving the station is afternoon drive jock Tommy Kramer. Both can be reached at (205) 859 -4596.

Final "quickie" of the week

is from Detroit Sunday News, who told the story of FCC Commissioner James Quello being arrested for speeding. Quello was pinched for going 40mph in a 25mph zone. Police escorted Quello to the local station where he paid a $15 fine and then went on to make a scheduled local television appearance.

RARIØ BUSINESS

NEWS AVCO TO SELL RADIO

Following their sale of Avco Records, the Avco Corp. is now seeking buyers for their radio outlets in an attempt to exit the broadcasting field. Broadcast licenses the company still holds include KYA- AM- FM/San Francisco, WLW /Cincinnati, and WRTH/Wood River, ID. Apparently the company's recent multi-million dollar losses are the basis for the selling.

FORD UPS 1976 MODEL PRICES Following the lead of General Motors' earlier announcement, the Ford Motor

Co. has upped their new car prices by an average of $78. Although the increase was not unusually high, the company also announced that many previously standard features on their cars would become optional items. With this taken into consideration, the average price increase for an average equipped Ford would be $247.

GM OPTIMISTIC ABOUT '76 SALES GENERAL MOTORS appears to be more optimisltc than their Detroit

competitors about 1976 car sales figures, with Chairman Thomas Murphy predicting 10 million units sold, including imports, during the model year. Most other American auto makers have anticipated no more than 9.5 million units. Although seemingly hopeful, GM's figures represent a replay of the downward trend which car sales have had since the oil crisis in 1973.

VOLKSWAGEN EXPECTS LOSS VOLKSWAGEN expects losses again for 1975, mostly due to downward U.S.

sales. Losses are not in such a bad light when compared to 1974 figures for the company, with this year's sales already up 80 /o in the first half of this year.

VETERAN'S DAY MAY MOVE AGAIN Seven years after Veteran's Day was moved to the fourth Monday in October,

a bill bas passed both houses of Congress that would move the holiday back to its original November 11. The bill is awaiting President Ford's signature.

WATERGATE TAPES BROADCASTING POSSIBLE Both houses of Congress have been moving rapidly to block a GENERAL

SERVICES ADMINISTRATION proposal to prevent the public airing of the Watergate Tapes. Radio and TV broadcasting, as well as record distribution of the tapes would be made possible if the Senate and the House overrule the GSA, although former President Nixon's lawyers are battling any public access to the tapes.

GREETING CARDS ASSOCIATION SUES POSTAL SERVICE The National Association of Greeting Card Publishers has sued the U.S.

POSTAL SERVICE. claiming that current one -ounce first class postal rates are discouraging their business. The Postal Rate Commission recently upheld the most recent increase to 10 cents per ounce. with plans to increase further to 13 cents per ounce. The Greeting Card people ask the Commission to go along with their own chief hearing officer, who suggested lowering first class rates and dramatically upping other rates.

AD CAMPAIGN FOR NEW POSTAL 1ST CLASS UPGRADING Plans for a multimedia advertising campaign to alert the public to new 1st

class mail upgrading are being formulated, starting with posters in Postal Services offices. The Postal Service is in a quandary about the situation that will arise when 1st class mail has as much priority of delivery as air mail, while it costs less than air mail rates. The Postal Service has asked for nearly double the usual funding assistance from Congress to initiate the plan.

KRAFT TESTING NEW CHEESE KRAFT FOODS has started test marketing of their latest cheese market entry,

an imitation colby cheese. The new cheese contains only 100/9 butterfat, with vegetable fat replacing the rest of the fat content. The company feels that this cheese will lead the way to reduce the amount of dairy product used in previously all-diary items. The dairy cow population Is not increasing with demand, so the company feels that their new cheese product will make the same impact that margarine did years ago. Advertising has not yet started for the new product.

GREY ADVERTISING LOSES THE NAVY GREY ADVERTISING has contended that the U.S. Navy unfairly dropped them

as their advertising agency, picking Ted Bates and Co. as a replacement. Grey was denied a temporary restraining order. but U.S. District Court proceedings will be held on September 19 to hear Grey's arguments on losing the $12 to $16 million account.

AT &T MUST ADJUST NEWS WIRE RATES The FCC has told AMERICAN TELEPHONE and TELEGRAPH CO. to adjust its

rates for leased private lines used by major wire services such as UP, API and DOW JONES NEWS SERVICE. The Commission judged that the special rates now afforded the wire services were unfair to other private line users.

NO CHANGE IN FULL TIME WORKERS' EARNINGS The average full time worker's earnings, adjusted for inflation, did not

increase during the last year, according to an annual poll by the LABOR DEPARTMENT. In fact, real earnings have stayed the same since 1973. The survey show male head of households' earnings dropped. while female head of households' wages increased. Other women workers, such as working wives, did not fare as well, showing losses. Black workers' real earnings raised almost 30/e

THE FC [So You Can Understand It] THREE -MONTH CALENDAR OF COMMISSION MEETINGS ISSUED

Chairman Richard E. Wiley issued today a calendar of Commission meetings for September, October and November, to inform the Commissioners, FCC staff and the public of the schedule of coming events.

The program provides for full Commission meetings on Tuesdays,Wednes- days and Thursdays, with occasional meetings on Mondays and Fridays.

On nonmeeting Mondays and Fridays, the Commissioners will be involved In office preparation for meetings, conferences with outside parties, sessions with staff, participation in FCC and industry committees, public engagements. etc.. Chairman Wiley noted.

For the first time, en banc open meetings are provided to increase public participation in the FCC's decision- making process.

96,710 COMPLAINTS, COMMENTS AND INQUIRIES RECEIVED IN FY 1975 Complaints. comments and inquiries received by the FCC's Broadcast Bureau

in fiscal 1975 set an all-time record of 96.710, surpassing the previous record of 84,525 set in fiscal 1973.

[A fiscal year runs from July 1 to June 30 of the following year.] The Commission pointed out that the Broadcast Bureau's figures did not

include comments on proposed rulemaking proceedings - such as RM -2493, which generated more than one million letters. This was the so-called "Religious Broadcasting" petition, denied by the FCC on August 1.

A total of 65,054 complaints were received in FY 1975, compared to 50,414 in FY 1974. Comments and inquiries rose to 31,656, up 3,941 from the previous year of 27,715.

The greatest single increase included complaints about programming - from 13,193 to 34,097. Of these, complaints concerning crime, violence and horror in programming jumped from 895 to 8,897.

Complaints about broadcast advertising increased from 1,731 to 6,385. Those involving "equal opportunities" for political candidates [Section 315] increased from 1,054 to 1,435 and fairness doctrine complaints from 1,874 to 3,590.

Complaints of discrimination in employment practices by broadcast licensees based on race, color, religion or national origin rose from 157 to 209. Sex discrimination complaints remained unchanged at 76.

PHONE FINE ON WLTH UPHELD The Commission has denied an application by Northwestern Indiana

Broadcasting Corporation, licensee of WLTH, Gary, Ind., for review of a March 4

FCC Broadcast Bureau order imposing a $2,000 forfeiture on the station. On September 3, 1974, the Bureau sent Northwestern a notice of apparent

liability for forfeiture for willful or repeated violation of Section 73.1206 of the rules, which requires that notice of intent to broadcast to be given parties to telephone calls before the calls are aired.

The notice said that on September 18, 1973, WLTH broadcast a previously recorded conversation with Mrs. Marcia Rockwell without informing her that it intended to broadcast the conversation. The notice said further that the station held a contest from August 6 through September 28, 1973, in which 200 persons selected at random were called by WLTH without being advised before the conversations that the calls were being or were to be broadcast.

Northwestern contended that WLTH newsmen told Mrs. Rockwell she was being taped. The Bureau said this notification did not meet the requirement that she be informed of the licensee's intention to broadcast the conversation.

WLTH said the contest violations were not repeated since therewas only one violation which took place when WLTH staff members conceived and implemented the contest. It stated that under the Communications Act the maximum forfeiture that could be imposed was $1,000 per offense.

In addition, WLTH argued there had been no willful violation of the rules and requested that the risks involved in talk -show programming be considered.

The Broadcast Bureau pointed out that the term " repeatedly" as used in the Act simply mean more than once. Since it was clear that the licensee repeatedly violated Section 73.1206, the Bureau said, it was not necessary to make an additional finding of wilingfulness.

FLORIDA BROADCASTER FINED $9,000 FOR INACCURATE BILLING The FCC has notified Walter-Weeks Broadcasting, Inc., licensee of three

Florida AM -FM combinations, of its apparent liability for forfeitures totalling $9,000.

The Commission said the company had failed to adopt controls to insure that accurate bills would be issued to the station's advertisers.

Walter -Weeks is the licensee of WMFJ [AM -FM]. Daytona Beach. WINO [AM -FM]. West Palm Beach, and WSPB [AM -FM], Sarasota. Fla.

A Commission field investigation into the operations of the stations revealed that the licensee had failed to exercise reasonable diligence to see that station employees and agents did not issue documents that violated Section 73.1205 of the rules concerning billing practices. All three stations had issued to advertisers invoices or other documents tit misrepresented the quantity of advertising actually broadcast, the FCC found.

As a result, the FCC said, WMFI had incurred an apparent liability of forfeiture of $5,000, WINO for $1,000 and WSPB for $3,000.

Section 73.1205 states that no licensee "shall knowingly issue" to its advertisers any bill or invoice that contains false information concerning the amount actually charged by the licensee for the broadcast advertising for which the bill or invoice was issued,or that misrepresents the nature of content of such advertising, or misrepresents the quantity of advertising actually broadcast - the number or length of advertising messages - or the time of day or date when it was broadcast. The rule also requires that licensees "shall exercise reasonable diligence to see that their agents and employees do not issue any documents which would violate this section is issued by licensee."

The Commission said "evidence obtained during the investigation revealed that numerous invoices have been issued for advertising on these three stations during the period May through November, 1974, which represented that a greater number of announcements were broadcast than are listed on the station program logs for the same period."

WMFJ, the FCC found, had issued to its advertisers on at least five separate days, invoices or other documents that misrepresented the quantity of advertising broadcast. WINO had apparently issued on at least one day bills misrepresenting the number of advertising messages, and WSPB had violated the rule on at least three days. The licensee has 30 days to pay the full fine or contest the forfeiture

R &R/Friday, September 19, 1975

RADIO R &R: You recently had some major ratings recouping suc- cesses at the Bartell radio stations. Would you touch on what you did and what you changed when you took over as National PD. KCHQ and WOKY did super and KSLQ basically maintained. CLIFTON: We were lucky at KSLQ. R &R: What I wanted to know is, where do you think Top 40 is going? Where is it now, what are you doing to program to its audvnce today? CLIFTON: I think what made the difference is the people that we have working for us. I

don't think it was any magical format formula or anything like that. I think it was the quality of people that we have working at our stations. Every- body that we have is in love with radio. We were able, in several cases, to get stations completely fired up. All the people in the station aiming at the same goal. The stations sounding like good radio stations. R &R: Those are all non - descriptive terms. You've got good people,OK. What kind of people are good people? Sounding like a good radio station, what does a good radio station sound like? CLIFTON: That's a hard one. R &R: You must know, what do you listen for when you turn on the radio? CLIFTON: When I came back to listen to all the Bartell stations. the major things that I found were a lack of attention to detail, a lack of development of the personality of the disc jockey. A lack of goqd solid research. Everything at all the stations was pretty much mediocre. R &R: Kind of complacent? CLIFTON: Yeah. like it is in most radio stations where you do enough to get by and that's about it. I took several of the people that I had in New York and several of the people that I'd wanted to have work with me for a long time and got a good percentage of those involved in our stations. And we did a lot of communicating with each other and we set up systems of research and did a lot of rapping on the telephone about promotions and things that worked. just shared our ideas with each other. Quickly turned things around from pretty complacent radio stations to being better than average radio stations. R &R: You have played several new records since you've been there, where as Bartell was a pretty tight- listed company. You were at WDRQ before and you broke "Bennie & The Jets." Are you now getting into album cut play at all on any of your stations? CLIFTON: Yeah, we play a lot of album cuts. R &R: Have you found that to be correct for the so -called Top 40 or Top 20 format radio stations? Do you attribute that

THE R &R INTERVIEW:

JERRY CLIFT

at all, maybe going in one cut beyond the single on Paul McCarntey or one or Wo cuts in beyond the single in Elton John's or whatever. Are you finding in your research that there has been a major need to hear this music?

CLIFTON: The thing is, when an album first comes out, the record company picks the single out. To play 2 cuts off the album at that particular time is usually wrong because you'd be over -exposing the artist and you'd probably kill both songs. But as time goes on, everybody in the radio station is running around saying. "Hey my favorite cut on this album is such and such, why didn't they make that a single ?" When you get half of the people in your station saying the same thing, you've got a pretty god idea that that should have en the single or that's as hot record as the one that they di make the single. When the rength of the single starts wearing out. then you take a shot and put the album cut on and see how it does on requests and so on. If you don't take too

many chances at a time you won't hurt yourself. You have a good chance of helping yourself. R &R: Are you going into any market research on albums at all? CLIFTON: Yeah, pretty funky research, I don't even know if you could call it research. We have key people in key stores in all of the cities that keep their eyes open for the cuts that people are buying albums for. for us. Then when we get wind of a cut that is, seems to be selling an album, then we'll watch it. We'll play it for all of our friends and whatever we can do to see if it really is a song that should be on the station. If it seems to be, then we'll take a shot with it. R &R: What about phone research, are you using it pretty heavily? CLIFTON: Requests? R &R: Yeah. CLIFTON: Yeah, we watch it. Most people try to sit around and say research is the an-

swer, and it'll tell you exactly what to do and all that bullshit. What I really believe is that research is what the word means. It gives you some information to base what you're doing on. It isn't the ultimate answer and it doesn't tell you all the secrets. But, it helps you a lot.

R &R: Let's look at statistics. Approximately 2 to 3 percent of the American. public buys records. Probably shrinking during this economic disaster, maybe now going to go back up. Supposedly somebody has a statistic that 6 percent of the radio station's listeners will at one time or another call. CLIFTON: That's quite a bit. I

wouldn't expect that maybe. R &R: OK, let's say it's two percent again. But you're talking about active people, and obviously most Top 40 radio stations get active teens and sub -teens on the phone. So if you're concerned with time buys, whether it be right or wrong, whether agencies are correct or incorrect in buying 25 to 49, that could be argued in both ways. I think most

radio people and most people today happen to agree that there's a lot of buys being made in the 18 to 25 year old group, but the buys today are coming out 25-49, so Top 40 radio has to change. Have you found any way of doing any kind of research other than those two methods, or control- ling those two methods to be able to get you the demo- graphic target you want? CLIFTON: That was a long question. Well, we have some ways that we deal with, some different forms of information. But, dealing with, I'm into juke boxes. Finding out what the biggest played records on juke boxes are is important. R &R: Don't you find those mostly oldies? CLIFTON: Well, there's some oldies, but that helps you, we all play oldies too Hit records hit new records .hat aren't on radio stations, that aren't on every station in town, get played on juke boxes. R &R: Do your break out your request research in demo - graphics,do ;;ou breakout your box locations? CLIFTON: Yeah, sure. R &R: And the kinds of people, the dass of people, do you do that? CLIFTON: Most locations cater to smaller demographics than our stations cater to. Like you go into one bar and they will cater to rednecks, 24-34 basically. Another bar might be an all hippie bar, another bar might be all businessmen kind of people. You've got to go and hang around the bar to find out what kind of people, or the restaurant or whatever you use. Then you can go in and deal with it. You know that a large amount of plays in this place means such and such. In another place it would mean a completely different thing.

R &R: Have you noticed that the "Top 20" format radio stations, in general that are really holding out until the last second to add records, AM or FM, including yours, seemed to have dropped in the April/ May ARB's. The stations that went up were the bright contemporary MOR's and the album oriented rock station, offering a wider variety in both formats.

CLIFTON: I have a philosophy on that. When the so called "Q" format started, the reason that it was so successful was because it was a very defensive format. In other words we took away, we quit trying to break records, we tried to take all

the negative records off the stations and that worked. All the "Q" type stations, or whatever, became successful. But now that everybody is doing that, and for the last 4 years in most markets around the country, everybody has been playing the same 20 records over and over. adding

about 2 a week and keeping the oldies on and playing them over and over and over, all of a sudden Top 40 radio or whatever we call it these days got boring. On most Top 40 stations in the country today, you're hearing basically the same records you heard last year at the same time, with the addition of maybe 40 or 50 records. So my feeling was that we had to re -group and do some thinking about it. rather than play that defensive game of taking everything off of the radio station except the hits, we have to be a little more offensive and run with the ball, you know. We had to give them some variety, some new songs to listen to, a reason besides all of the records that they're already sick of to listen to the radio. R &R: How long are your play - lists at each radio station? CLIFTON: Well, they're different according to the market, according to what the station can support, Some markets we have a couple of Top 40 competitors, and in other markets we're all alone. That makes a hell of a difference. R &R: Is it now your programming philosophy to try to inject some new product in each market? CLIFTON: Yes. Of course on the stations that control the markets, like KCBQ and WOKY, we can get a feel on a record with two weeks play, we can tell whether a record has any chance of being a hit there. If you have one record that you're not sure of, or two on the list at a time, it isn't gonna hurt you. R &R: How many singles, really true hit selling singles, would you say there are in any given market in one particular week? CLIFTON: You mean actual hits? R &R: I mean big sellers. CLIFTON: I think that there are, according to the market, there's maybe one smash a week, maybe. Then there are about 9 or 10 records that are all even behind that. And then everything else is either old or questionable new. R &R: What about the fabrica- tion of numerical charts that the radio stations have. Is there really an 18 to 15? is there really a 25 to 21? CLIFTON: No, I don't think so. We were talking at one time, not too long ago about elimin- ating numbers from a couple of our stations, and putting charts that had them listed in alphabetical order and all that. But of course, that would screw things up for the record companies cause they live by numbers, and the trades would have a hard time dealing with that. R &R: But that's what I'm getting to, you just brought it up, and I'm throwing it right back to you, throwing it back to everybody else that's reading the interview, the fact that most people are telling me today that they don't really watch numbers and bullets anymore. The reason R &R started the Parallels was because we realized the need for in-depth information rather than just generalizing numbers, and just saying this is 488 this week, we gave everything to back it up. You could sit there and look at the 52 radio stations playing a record and see what they did with it. Maybe if a record went from 31 to 15 you'd say, hey, that's one of the hot records in sales that week. But unless it's that dramatic a lump, It really doesn't mean much. Now. if everybody's doing that, or H it's a growing trend, people saying "well I can't really trust the national trades, all I can do is I can look in R &R

and see radio station movement, but I really don't know

why that guy moved it from 28 to 21, where are we really at as far as exchanging information, and is there a better way? CLIFTON: As far as exchanging information within our own trade, because of the highly competitive situation, I think it's more competitive now that it has been for a long long time. You can't hardly believe what you hear anyway. Like somebody may have a record listed at number 18 on their survey and really not even be playing the record. People are lying to each other like crazy. R &R: That used to happen a lot in the Bartell stations a lot before you came there. CLIFTON: It's been a widely used propaganda deal. So you can't believe it anyway,whether it's on a station, it could be number 15 and maybe only played on the all night show or something like that. If you're watching trades that's something that you have to deal with. Numbers don't seem to mean anything to most people. I think most radio stations have kept numbers simply because the record companies would go crazy if we quit using numbers on our surveys. I think,I'm impressed when Rick Sklar goes on a record, that's something that impresses me. R &R: He does that off sales research. CLIFTON: There are key stations in this country that.if they go on a record, it means something to me. R &R: How many would you say there are, about a dozen? CLIFTON: Ours, and then a couple of others. If we go on a record at WOKY, or KCBQ, you can be pretty sure that it's a hit record, because we very seldom make a mistake. Where you could list 14,000 stations under a record that went on it, most of those stations don't mean anything. R &R: Let's get down to what influences you to play records. CLIFTON: Promotion men. There's a couple of really killer guys around, who when they come in and tell me, I

had a phone call the other day

Clifton at KAFY /Bakersfield, circa 1967.

and a guy said to me, "Re- member when I told you 6 months ago that I wouldn't call you until I had a hit record ?" And I said yeah, and he said "well I got one now. And I'm bothering you with it. I'm calling you about it, what are you going to do about it ?" So I said well, let me listen to the record. I listened to it, I

didn't particularly like the song, but we went on it anyway. So far,this was last week, so far it's proving itself. There's a couple of guys around like that, but mostly these guys are being paid to be salesmen, so you can't necessarily rely on them, I

don't think. I didn't mean that to be a putdown to any promotion people, I just understand their job and most of them understand mine, so you know that's a good deal. They bring you the product, then you have to rely on your own ear, or the input of the people that work for you, or your research methods, all of those things combined to decide whether you want to play a record or not. R &R: Would you find it better to be on a mailing list? CLIFTON: No I don't think so. I'm very involved in this business. and promotion people for the most part have a positive input to programmers, to music people and stuff like that. There's a few guys,like anybody else, I don't particularly care for or whatever, but as a whole, I'd get lonesome if they didn't come around. I'd feel like I must have done something wrong.

R &R: Let me go back to radio and the state of radio today, where do you think contemporary hit music radio has to go. Is it going to survive? CLIFTON: The way I figure it is that Top 40 kind of radio today, contemporary whatever you want to call it. What are we calling it this week? R &R: I don't really know. CLIFTON: Our kind of radio is, when it's done right, what MOR was trying to do all those years. MOR was de- signed to be mass appeal kind

of radio that everybody could listen to, that was very listen - able, as listenable to a 40 year old as to a 20 year old. So that's what I go after, right now. They didn't have Top 40, and the competition between the different Top 40 stations in major markets all over the country has made our kind of radio more scientific than probably any other kind of radio. The great radio wars of our time have perfected a lot of ideas to where now it is possible, with a contemporary music station, to be the number one station not only in teens and 18 to 24's but also in 25 to 34, 35 to 49. R &R: What are you doing, are you dayparting, or do you have a 10 man news team, give me some of the ingred- ients that you've found. CLIFTON: What I think is where a lot of the young people who are coming up in this business, where I think they go wrong, is exactly what we've been talking about since we started talking. And that is all we've talked about is records. I feel like records maybe are close to half of a radio station, maybe. R &R: But that's 80 per cent of most radio stations.

CLIFTON: Well, they play a lot of records, but since, in most of our markets, in competitive situations, half of the other stations in town are playing almost exactly the same records as we are, there may be one or two or three, or maybe even as many as five different records that are being played, on the different stations. That isn't very many in reality, to the layman, we're about the same. So, what I think makes the difference in a radio station is the talent, the people, the people who make up the radio station. R &R: Most Top 40 stations or "Q" type radio stations in the past several years have just gotten time and tempera -. ture up tempo disc jockeys. CLIFTON: That seems to be a popular thing to do, it was cheap.

R &R: Cheap and easy to get. CLIFTON: You didn't have to pay much for a guy with a half way decent voice who could say the call letters and push the buttons and, if you treated him right, and told him the right things he thought he was a star, but he wasn't allowed to say anything. I've never been able to bring myself to that point. R &R: Where are you finding talent? CLIFTON: It's hard. It's almost impossible. I got a new deal I'm into now, and that is, cause I've been looking for people ever since I came back to the chain. I had 15 or 20 people who I thought were the best radio people in the world, and most of those people are working with us now. But that didn't fill up 5 radio stations. I

just gave a key person or two to each station. So then I

started looking for other people. put ads in different trades and got thousands of tapes. The guys who sent 7 inch reels of Scotch tape that didn't have any splices, we used those for production. There aren't very many good people out there. So what I've always been into is finding young kids who want to be radio stars and teaching them how to do it. R &R: So you're kind of running a radio school at your station? CLIFTON: Have to. There are some places in a radio station that aren't key time periods. Sunday mornings, midnight til 4:30 til the religion tapes start isn't really a period of time that is highly competitive. R &R: So you're going out for what, young kids, college kids or whatever. CLIFTON: Yeah, I haven't really even put an age level on it, but you know. I run into people who come up to me every once in a while and say, more than anything in my whole life I want to be the greatest radio person that ever happened. So that opens my eyes up pretty fast, and I

listen to tapes often, and if I

think they have any potential, they're working at some small station somewhere, I'll ask them to send me a tape when-

ever they feel like to, when they do I c tape and call them phone and tell them think's right or wrong so on. Then if they get way decent, then maybe t might get a weekend shot some station. one of our stations or I'll try to find them a decent small market station that I know of where I can continue to help them and eventually they might get into our chain. We need young people. (Continued Next Week)

LATE NEWS

Continued from front page WJIB (M) 11.3 to 6.2. All news WEEI down over a share.

PHILADELPHIA Similarities here with most

stations holding steady and all news KYW down two shares. WFIL (R) increases 8.0 to 8.7, WIBG (R) down a bit, WIFI (R) up slightly. WMMR (A) down 3.1 to 2.2, and WDAS -FM (A) up 1.8 to 3.1. Country WRCP did not fare well here, but WDAS -AM (B) did 2.6 to 3.1. WCAU, the News /Talk outlet up almost 3 shares.

SAN FRANCISCO Again most stations holding,

all news down and the top rocker, KFRC is up 6.7 to 7.1. Beautiful Music up in this market considerably. News/ Talk KGO down 9.1 to 7.5. KSFX with their progressive/ disco format finally made an impact 1.9 to 3.0. Country KNEW down 3.6 to 2.6.

WASHINGTON D.C. A few major changes here.

The story of the book is WKYS, consulted by Bob Hen - naberry Associates and pro- grammed by Gordon Peil. This is the old WRC -FM. New format is disco, and apparently it took the market by storm with a debut of 7.2, placing third in the market. Arbitren breakout of weekly cume figures shows WKYS' audience 43.50/o Black, 56.50/o White. WPGC -AM -FM (R) operated throughout the entire survey at reduced power yet was still able to increase 7.8 to 8.5. WOL. the major Black station lost heavily, 6.3 to 3.4. WOOK (B) picked up a bit 1.6 to 2.7. WEAM (R) also up 1.1 to 2.0. This NIS Network on WRC entered with a 1.2 and WTOP, the other news station de- creased 5.9 to 3.7. Most other stations held, with WGAY (BM) increasing again.

CHICAGO Not much to report as the

market remained status quo. A few minor ups and a down like WCFL 4.6 to 5.0, but WLS held at 8.3. WMAQ (C) had another increase 5.4 to 6.5 which puts them 4th in the market. WGN (M) down 14.5 to 12.3. WILD (C) back up a bit and WDAI (A) also up 2.4 to 3.4.

LOS ANGELES A few interesting things

here. K100 (R) showed the biggest gain 2.0 to 3.5. putting them on top of KKDl who lost a bit 2.4 to 1.9. KHf held at 5.5. which is up over last summer. KDAY (B) seems to have peaked 4.3 to 3.9. KLOS (A) 4.1 to 3.8. KMET (A) 1.3 to 1.4, and finally AOR KWST, 0.6 to 1.2 showed nicely. In the Beautiful Music battle, KPOL AM a FM increased substantially, KBIG peaking 6.3 to 6.0. Country KLAC back up 2.0 to 2.5, while gentle country KGBS continues to fail, 0.7 to 0.4, their simulcast FM 0.8 to 0.4.

NEW YORK It was simply a three station

book. WABC, WELS, and WNEW took the big gains. WABC higher than anytime in recent years with a 9.7 from 6.6. Rick Sklar told RaR that

The station has been programming "Doubleheaders" in which they play two entire new albums. KMYR jock STEVE SUPLIN recently suffer- ed a flood in his home in which all of his records were destroyed except for the current GENTLE GIANT album which was on his turntable. A week later, a burglar got into his place and stole the turntable with the album. SUPLIN is now living in his truck.

Album Oriented Rock radio has always been much more than just a format that plays a certain type of music in a certain type of way. There is that extra dimension that allows for variety and an endless arena for creativity. No matter how tight, disciplined, or consistant the music format may be, there is always room for and, perhaps, a need for those prime time specials, interviews, syndicated features, and a whole new approach to contemporary journalism.

The image has changed somewhat over AOR radio's years of development. Throughout it all, however, the stations, in order to be complete and successful, gave the listeners the audio illusion that they were the focal point of cultural activity in the market. Listeners turned to and appreciated that because, as we all know,the Progressive Rock movement grew out of an increased interest and involvement in Contemporary Culture. Where many of the early Progressive Rock stations went wrong was they were unable to make the increasingly growing audience feel that it was a part of that "center of ..... ..... .u........

CORRESPONDENTS! Please note our new phone number: [213] 466 -9561. All AOR mail should now be sent to MIKE HARRISON c/o R &R, 6430 Sunset, Suite 1221, Hollywood, Calif. 90028. tauuu activity." In all too many cases, it became a matter of the audience being on the outside looking in. Those AOR's that succeeded, surviving the genre's initial period of growing pains, were those that were able to make the audience relate to the activity and feel that it was a part of the action. They did this by removing much of the pseudo - hipness and realizing that even though there was an increasing awareness on the part of the public toward both music and sociology, that there are certain things that are consistant to the human condition and that people are basically people.

Today, and most record company executives will attest to it, AOR's in an attempt to keep their listeners attuned to "what's happening" and to maintain good relations with the record industry, are very open to creative ideas and new music. In a time of extremely tight playlists and creative paranoia on the part of most radio stations,the record companies still can turn to AOR radio for a fair shake. If a Top 40 station were as liberal in it's music and feature programming policies as the tightest AOR station that we have reporting to us, they would have to build an extra wing just to house all the gold records they would receive.

One of the interesting phenomena that has resulted from AOR broadcasters letting the public in on their activities is a degree of lessening of the personal pretige that they originally surrounded themselves with during the early days when it was really hip and heavy to be an "FM jock." Add to that the fact that many of the former "underground" artists who used to be so dependant on these radio people no longer pay that much attention to them now that they are so called superstars.

It is a great credit to the many artists today who are aware of the fact that getting out to the radio stations, no matter how big or small, and getting involved in interviews, radio concerts, and free outside concerts is still the best form of promotion that there is. Our research shows that there is a definite parallel between such activity and airplay. Even a phone call from an artist to a radio station can outweigh thousands of dollars and hours worth of record company promotion. It helps the artist and it is valuable to the radio people both on a personal level (they do get off on it) and in the effort to make their stations the local center of activity.

As far as the superstars are concerned, they should not lose sight of how fickle the public is and how influenced the public STILL is by radio, (especially AOR). The old cliche, "Out of sight, out of mind," holds true and can catch up to you quicker than you think.

Chart summary

The ALLMANS and SPRING - STEEN surged to the top, the difference in amount of airplay between them slight. MAC, ROD, and the DEAD all held their own and were strong. STARSHIP had another good week in spite of chart position loss. TULL was the highest debut of the week. The album is getting good reaction from programmers. TUCKER inched up a bit. PINK FLOYD made an impressive debut. OUTLAWS and EAGLES remain powerful radio favorites. WRIGHT enjoyed a resurgence of airplay. CLAYTON is holding on. GEMS had a great second week. DALTREY remained strong. CHARLIE DAN - IELS debuted. COCKER held firm. L&M and SHAWN slip- ped very slightly but did alright. CLIMAX slowed up a bit. ELTON does not quit. SPHEERIS enjoyed a big jump. The album is picking up many believers. AEROSMITH again bounced back on the chart. It seems that every times it falls off, it comes back. FOCUS and LINDA LEWIS debuted. CRU- SADERS have developed a loy- al radio level following and continue to maintain airplay. WALKER and TRACY debuted impressively. RENAISSANCE, BLACKMORE, and ARS lost a few spins to some of the new albums this week. JAMS IAN and TUBES bounced back on the chart. TUBES are now getting healthier play in the Northeast. The ISLEYS keep hanging around enjoying strong consistent play and great listener reaction. JAMES TAYLOR dribbled back onto the chart. HERBIE MANN almost made the chart.

The Hottest, Most Added, Suggested AOR Product: SWEET

The dudes who've already sold 26 Million records, and who topped all other bands (including Yes. EL?. Deep Purple and Pink Floyd!) in the 1975 Musiek Express and Pop Magazine Polls. are now assaulting these shores with their strongest LP yet. "Desolation Boulevard" (ST-11395) which includes of course, the hit single, "Ballroom Blitz" (4055) as well as the sensational "Fox On The Run" and

A. C. n. c." BOB SEGER

A superb rock 'n' roll writer, singer and performer, Bob's dues are paid up. and it's time to get on the success train with him. His new LP. "Beautiful Loser" (ST- 11378) has been phenomenal, even in his hometown of Detroit, where it's doubled any previous Bob Seger album in sales. it's been the # 1 selling album in Detroit for six months(!!) and the new single "Katmandu" (4116) has already hit # 3 on CKL W. The national spread is getting stronger every day on both single and album ... Bob's back on the charts!

SOULFUL AOR NATALIE COLE

This lady has it all: class, style, talent, a

great name -and a smash her first time out with "This WiiBe "(4109) -which is already # 1 R &B in New York and now cooking on WA BC. A comparison vocally to Aretha is inevitable -no one else could be compared to Lady Soul -but Natalie 's style is definitely her own. She's a young lady; yet her whole lift has been filled with the influences of the great ladies ofJazz and R&B. From ballads to disco- rockers. Natalie's debut album. "lnseparabk" (ST- 11429) is for everyone.

BI- CENTENNIAL INVADERS GENTLE GIANT

Ij you haven't seen_ these guys perform. you probably don't know that Gentle Giant is as amazingly tight and entertaining in person as they are musically advanced and dexterous on record. Their "cult" of converts is expanding rapidly due to the superb quality and accessibility of their new Giant LP. "Free Hand" (ST- I /428).

AMERICAN TEAM DR. HOOK

Delighting audiences with hilarity (courtesy: Shel Silverstein)' as well as great music. Dr. Hook makes it look and sound altogether too easy. Their new LP. "Bankrupt" (ST- 11397), is rich with pleasantries such as the single. "The Millionaire" (4104), a lament entitled, "Everybody's Makin' It Big But Me" (in the Cover Of The Rolling Stone tradition), and a perfect/v straight (but perfect!) up- dating of the classic "Only Sixteen".

TAVARES

Three's a charm. The way has been paved with many hits - "Check It Out'; "Too Late'; "She's Gone': "Remember What 1

Told You To Forget", "My Ship " -and this new LP, "In The City" (ST- 11396), and its

first single. It Only Takes A Minute" (4111), have exploded pop as well as soul. The success is deserved. In their twenties, the brothers Tavares are intensely entertaining performers who can steal the show from anyone who shares the bill with them. Dennis Lamben and Brian Potter again provide some instantly classic ballads and flawless production, but the material covers a funkier spectrum than ever before,

BE BOP DELUXE

From the same country that has provided Clapton, Paige and Tr- rower, the word is out heralding the latest authentic guitar sensation. Bill Nelson- leader. singer and writer for the one band that's good enough to keep up with him: BE BOP DELUXE! Their album, "Futuranta "(ST- 11432), on the classy Harvest label, and a recent Record World "Sleeper." was produced by Ray Thomas Baker, of Queen fame.

HUB

You may not know the name, hut you'll sure as hell recognize the sound! It's the sound that's sold nine million records. including the hits. "Get Ready" and "I Just Wanna Celebrate". It's the sound you used to know as -the great, ballsy voice of Rare Earth drummer Peter Hoorelbeke, the solid bass of Michael Urso and the newly -added talent of Rare Earth producer - writer Tom Baird ( "Born To Wander" and the "Ecology" LP). Together, they spell HUB, (ST- 11439), a new name with a familiar, hit- making sound.

COUNTRY- PROG ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL

What a relief! Just when you were reminded by Manhattan Transfer of how much you missed Dan Hicks, the Real Thing shows up! Western Swing lives again ... in fact, it's re -born by Asleep At The Wheel, a nine -man. one -girl ensemble providing equal pleasures of authenticity and pure pleasure. Wheel's music is tough to describe, but should be imagined in a country night club with boot- stompin hooch -guzzlin' accompaniment. Better yet, hear it yourself on the LP, "Texas Gold" (ST- 11441). Check out "Bump Bounce Boogie" or Chris O'Connell's killer ballad, "Nothin' Takes The Place Of You", and you'll know why country-prog is a necessary new catagory.

JAMES TALLEY

JAMES TALLEY Got No Bread, No Milk, No Money, But We Sure

Got A Lot Of Love

Every so often, the reviews are so uniformly excellent that you owe it to yourself to take a second careful listen. First, Greil Marcus of The Village Voice made James Talley's LP, "Got No Bread No Milk, No Money, But We Sure Got A Lot Of Love" (ST- 11416), the subject of a lead review (Aug. 11 issue) which described it as a 'quiet masterwork, "a 'modest, haunting affirmation . .. in the vein of The Band's second album' Robert Christgau made Talley's album his monthly Pick Hit in the August 18 Voice (over the Eagles. Stills. Elvin Bishop and A WB) and the word spread to Rolling Stone, in which Chet Flippo lauded the LP's "warm musical remembrances" (Sept. 25 issue, Page 106).

Direct From Duncan

COUNTRY JIM DUNCAN /Editor

This weekend the "travelling pencil" takes us to Atlanta, Georgia to be on a panel with CHARLIE WARNER, General Manager of WMAQ; BOB KINGSLEY, Drake -Chenault syndication; and DOUG DICKENS of WSIZ -FM, Nashville at the National Association of FM Broadcasters convention. The country panel will be Saturday morning. That afternoon I'm off to Tulsa, Oklahoma for the JIM HALSEY Talent Show and Picnic. [Whew!! I never had to travel this much when I was in radio.]

The summer ARB rating books are coming in to our offices. [You'll find a complete breakout in the front portion of the paper.] Countrywise: In the Los Angeles market, KLAC was up in all time slots. KFOX and KGBS AM & FM were down. KGBS -FM showed some gain in the evening, during the slot Progressive Country Jock, JIMMY RABBITT, took over recently... In Chicago, WMAQ was up again and so was WJJD. In the metro survey, total audience 12 plus, WMAQ was up from 5.4 to 6.5 and WJJD went from 1.6 [AM] and .5 [FM] to 2.1 [AM] and .9 [FM]. Even though WMAQ is the obvious leader inthe country race in Chicago, it's good to see Country Music Radio up at both stations. That town is big enough for both stations. Keep up the good work.

Speaking of travel and the Chicago market: CRAIG SCOTT, who is the National Program Director for the Plough chain, and who is based at WJJD, Chicago. will soon be doing the voice on the Country musical portion of the Delta Airlines music tapes for inflight passengers... "Buffalo" BILL BAILEY, a 12 year veteran of KICK radio Houston, has just joined the staff of KENR, according to KENR PD. RIC LIBBY. DAVE BUTTS. who had been doing the morning slot on KENR for the past 2 and a half years, left to join WKRC, Cincinnati... Our sympathy to JOHN HARMON, Program Director of WVOJ, Jacksonville, Florida, on the death of his wife, who was killed in an auto accident while on a trip to St. Louis.

Hat a chat with TOMMY CHARLES. PD of WSUN, St. Petersburg, Florida, last week while taking his report, about the waste of vinyl by the record companies. If you all remember about a year ago there was a great vinyl shortage, because of an oil shortage, and many companies were using recycled records. Tommy and I have found in our two companies alone a tremendous amount of waste. WSUN has a policy of carting every record that goes on the air. As a matter of fact, many of the key stationsin the country today do this for many reasons. First and most important, stations cart records to protect the quality. Nobody wants to hear a scratchy record. So, if a station Is carting records, why does it need 20 copies of each single release?. I mention my position at R &R only to make a point. Sometimes I'll receive as many as 10 copies of a single and all I really need is one. I appreciate the service, but let's be practical. It might be to the advantage of the record companies to check the station policies on carting records, it just might help save the industry a few bucks.

A new 24 hour a day Country station in Bakersfield, California. KBIS, under the direction of PD BOB RICHARDS could give the BUCK OWENS-owned KUZZ, a day timer, a run for the money... I would like to welcome our newest country reporter, WYTL, Oshkosh, Wisconsin and PD DAN DAVIS. I have a list of about 15 to 20 more country stations who would like to report to us. I'll be adding more stations in the next couple months. More than likely, the bulk of stations will be added after things settle down after the October CMA Convention. By that time, I'll have another assistant to help with the increased activity in the R &R

Country department. Got this news release from CHRIS MCGUIRE a couple weeks ago: "With the

trend toward shorter playlists becoming more popular among the nations more prominent Country Radio stations, WKDA, in a major decision reached by its management, has decided to shorten its list of current singles drastically. It is the opinion of both WKDA and most record executives that heavy concentrated airplay of proven hit records is beneficial to the record industry, as well as radio stations. Many hours of research have convinced us that WKDA is making the right move. On the morning of September 15, at exactly 6 AM, WKDA will commence to offer the city of Nashville something it has never, never heard before. WKDA will take the lead in the shorter playlist race!! We hope that we can continue to set the pace for other Country stations around the country." Signed MIKE HANES, PD and CHRIS MCGUIRE, Music Director. After I read this, I was going to send it to BOB PITTMAN at WMAQ [who currently has one of the shortest playtists in Country Radio] with a note saying, "Eat your heart out." But as it turned out last Monday morning the 15th, WKDA cut their list to ONE record. But before the joke was found out, many record companies had sent letters of disbelief. Many listeners came down to the station to protest. Picket lines went up. Then the reality of the situation came to light. WKDA had come up with one of the best fun promotions I've beard in awhile. It sure had the city of Nashville talking. By the way, the one record was the new BUCK OWENS single, "Battle Of New Orleans." At 5:45 PM, after almost 12 hours of the same record on WKDA, music director McGuire broke a whole box of Buck Owens singles on- the -air. [Now I really know why there is a vinyl shortage!!] Well, this whole thing sounds a little plastic, so I'll see ya next week...

Others with "lifetime" con- tracts who are no longer affiliated with MCA are JIMMIE DAVIS and KITTY WELLS. MARTY ROBBINS is also disassociated with MCA after a couple of years; he spent the first 20 years of his record career with COLUMBIA... TOMMY OVERSTREET took his new show to Europe. his third trip in two years? He'll be back just in tme for [as CHARLIE WILLIAMS says] the 50th annual "Loudmouth Drinking Contest" and OPRY birthday party next month... Rumors of a BLUEGRASS HALL OF FAME in the embryo stage. They say it'll be for real within six months. CHUCK CHELLMAN organized a non -profit organization last spring to establish a COUNTRY RADIO HALL OF FAME.

WEDDING BELLS: CAROLEE COOP- ER, daughter of WILMA & STONEY COOPER and former wife of Hank's preacher son JIMMY SNOW. She married musician GLEN DAVIS; BILLIE JOE SPEARS married sideman MIKE EDLIN: JUNE CARTER CASH and CARL SMITH's daughter CARLENE married new RCA artist JACK RUTH from KINGMAN, KANSAS: RONNIE MIL - SAP's producer TOM COLLINS took his new bride to JAMAICA on their honeymoon.

RANDOM THOUGHTS: Suppose BOB .LUMAN should petition JOHNNY CASH to pay for his next driveway? Lumen has re -paved his drive three times during the five years Cash has lived across the street. Tourist traffic, after seeing the Cash lakeside mansion, use the Lumen drive for a turn -around... Ask CHET ATKINS to tell you how many times in his career he got fired. He tells about it in his life story, "COUNTRY GENTLEMAN." ARCHIE CAMPBELL may blush at a couple of stories Chet tells about their working time together, along with BILL CAR- LISLE, at WNOX in KNOXVILLE... WILLIE NEISON's biggest hit ever is also his COUNTRIEST record, and written not by HALL OF FAME SONG- WRITER WILLIE NELSON. but by Hall of Fame Songwriter FRED ROSE, over 30 years ago!...Local WAGG country jock DON FRIEZE made a meaningful comment the other day on the air: "When people get married, we en- thuse about how the HAPPY couple is. but when they get a divorce, everybody clams up like this was 1930 and somebody had tuberculosis." So... GEORGE JONES and TAMMY WY- NEI It. got a divorce and both are doing fine!

That breach of contract suit was filed in Federal Court in TYLER, Texas against MERLE HAGGARD by performer- promoter TONY DOUGLAS of ATH- ENS, Texas. Douglas is asking 1332.000 damages. According to the report Haggard missed dates in ABILNEN July 20th, LUBBOCK July 30th. and ATHENS Aug. 1st. Hag - gard's agent BOB EUBANKS said Merle missed the dates due to illness. Eubanks was quoted as saying that Douglas knew Haggard was sick and did a great disservice by not notifying the public in advance that Haggard would not be able to make the performances. Haggard was not available at our presstime for comment.

ONE LINERS: DOLLY guested on "AM AMERICA" and the "MIDNIGHT SPECIAL" last week... PORTER WAG- ONER wants to drop charges against JAMES. a former member of his road - show. charged in connection with a 525.000 burglary in Porter's home recently...

Another Woman" (r(0.,)

T.G. Sheppard The most requested

follow-up to "Devil In The Bottle" and "Trying To Beat The Morning Home"

Another smash single from TG. Sheppard's

debut Melody land album.

CHIP TAYLOR This Side Of The Big River [WB]

This is an album filled with music written by one of the new young talents in Nashville. Taylor proves his ability as both singer and composer. The LP is worth taking home and listening all the way through. Many of the cuts may not fit into the "commercial country" bag, but the change is like a breath of fresh air. Best cuts: "May God Be With Me," a song written for STONEY EDWARDS: "Get - tin' Older Looking Back ;" and "I've Been Tied." "You're Alright, Charlie" would be excellent for night play.

Fn OH. HOW LOVE CHANGES

GET READY-HERE COME MAYBE TOMORROW rttcxoar

DON GIBSON & SUE THOMPSON Oh,How Love Changes [Hickory/MGM]

The "Gibson- Thompson" duet team do-it again. Some very good programming material. Most cuts are uptempo and are relatively short. Best material includes: "Get Ready -Here I Come," "I Can't Tell My Heart That," "Maybe Tomorrow" and "Let's Get Together." Also possible. the lively "Once More." The current single, "Oh, How Love Changes" is a featured addition to the album.

RECORDS RECORD INDUSTRY NOTES

by Candy T The new Elton John album has been changed from "Bottled And

Brainless" back to Elton's original title of "Rock Of The Westies" which refers to his upcoming tour with all dates to be West of the Rocky Mountains. The superstar's label. Rocket Records, has just concluded a long term licensing agreement with EMI covering all territories excluding the U.S., Canada, Australia, South Africa, and New Zealand. Keeping it all in the Rocket family are Elton's protege, KiKi Dee, who was seen

with Elton's band member, Davey Johnstone, over the Labor Day weekend in Palm Springs, California. The twosome were spotted in the lobby,poolside and in the restaurant of the posh Spa Hotel in the desert resort and it looks like a late summer romance... According to KDAY /I.os Angeles, who spoke to a Motown representative, the Stevie Wonder historic thirteen million dollar re- signing contract with Motown Records is still verbal at this point. In speaking to the label's Executive Vice -President, Barney Ales, all points of the contract have been agreed to by all the parties and that the formal signing is imminent. Said Ales "My contract isn't even signed yet because, like Stevie's, the lawyers have to go all through it. It is standard procedure to have the verbal commitment first: then the attorneys work it out on paper." Ales continued to say that the new Stevie Wonder album is a double set and that Motown will be releasing it sometime in October... The Carpenters have dismissed their manager, Sherwin Bash, in favor of Karen's steady, Chrysalis President, Terry Ellis, who will now handle those responsibilities for the brother -sister act.

MUSIC NOTES Although ABC Records has signed David Crosby and Graham Nash

as a duo and as solo artists, Atlantic still retains the tape rights and the group as a whole is still signed to them. Crosby & Nash have an album coming out on ABC in late September titled "Wind On The Water." According to Atlantic they allowed the artists to be released as individual talents, but the group still owes them product and any albums coming out as Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young will be on Atlantic... Country Joe McDonald has signed a contract with Fantasy Records with his debut album "Paradise With An Ocean View" containing nine new Country Joe tunes set for immediate release... David Cassidy in the Rockfield Studios in Wales, England planning a new album with rumors that some of the Beach Boys may be flying over to provide the backup vocals...Keith Moon has been at the Record Plant in Los Angeles with session drummer J'® Keltner. A steady procession of friends have been seen coming and going, but what the outcome will be is anybody's guess... Lynyrd Skynyrd are also in the studio this week recording their fourth album with producer Tom Dowd for a January release...

NEWS FROM THE ORIEL« Helen Reddy is knockin' them out in Tokyo with standing room only

performances, and husband /manager Jeff Weld is knockin' out Rod Stewart's band at the Kahala hotel in Hawaii. Seems that Rod refused to vacate the suite on time that had been reserved weeks in advance for the Wald's. When he did vacate it,the suite was purposely damaged, with plugged up washroom facilities, broken beds etc. Jeff immediately went looking for Stewart and found the band in the lobbey. Words led to fists, with the island police being called in to quiet everything down.

CONCERTS AND PARTIES A &M's Gino Venelli attracted a stellar crowd last week at L.A.'s

Roxy Theatre including The Captain & Tennille, Anthony Newley, Johnny Mathis, French Rock stars Johnny Hollayday & Sylvie Vartan, Herbie Hancock, the Bee Gees, Sedaka's co- writer Howie Greenfield and a healthy number of radio and press people... Batdorf & Rodney surprised the audience attending Poco's concert last week in Los Angeles by jumping up on stage and jamming with the boys...Jermaine Jackson and Muhammad Ali were spotted in the crowd at Barry White's concert last week... Elton John held a small condolence party for good friend Neil Sedaka last week in New York to cheer him over the Riviera firing. The spillover from that party attended a later bash held for the Average White Band rubbing elbows with Bette Midler, Stanley Clark and Jean Luc Ponty... Get well wishes to Eagles' manager Iry Azoff, who is now home nursing a bad case of monoucleuosis... Jerry Garcia of the Grateful Dead is planning a massive 1976 Bi -Centennial tour with some Dead members plus the Stones favorite keyboardist, Nicky Hopkins... Buddy Miles broke all existing attendence records at L.A.'s Starwood last week and according to one attendee "if you fainted in that crowd, your body would never have hit the ground! "...

QUICK CUTS Robert "Nashville" Altman's latest movie project is titled "Breakfast

Of Champions" and already cast in the role of Bunny Hoover is Alice Cooper who will be playing the role of a "piano player in a typical motel lounge" set for shooting early next year... Comedian George Carlin joins the illustrious roster of "Who's Who" for his outstanding contribution to the world of comedy... The Fifth Dimension's Florence LaRue Gordon had to give up her idea of taking parachuting lessons. Her insurance company took the hint from the group's new album "Earthbound" and informed Florence that was a safe place to be!... Congratulations to Faces' bassist, Tetsu who greeted a new baby, a daughter, Amy Yamauchi, born last week... A &M announced last quarter as being the


Atlantic's Dickie Kline and Vince Farad were surrounded by The Spinners who are currently enjoying heavy airplay on their latest single "Games People Play." The above celebration took place during a party backstage at the Westchester Premier Theatre in New York following the group's performance.

CLIVE DAVIS' acquisition of THE OUTLAWS for ARISTA

RECORDS is turning out to be a profitable signing with the group breaking all existing LP sales records [4,000 copies sold] during their two day SRO stint at EBBETS FIELD in DENVER. The Outlaws were the first band to be signed to Arista by Davis who immediately put them together with noted producer, PAUL ROTHCHILD, who had worked with IANIS JOPLIN. THE DOORS, PAUL BUTTERFIELD, etc. resulting in the debut "Outlaws" album. A longtime Southern favorite, the group has toured extensively in that area for the past two years with LYNYRD SKYNYRD and the MARSHALL TUCKER BAND with Skynyrd RONNIE VAN

ZANT dubbing them as "Los Hombres Malo" [the bad guys.] The Outlaws base is in Tampa. Florida where they enjoy billing as the leading underground cultist group. The seven year old band consists of five members, three of whom [BILLY JONES, HUCHIE THOMASSON and FRANK

O'KEEFE] have been playing together since childhood. Billy holds a degree in Mathematics and turned down a scholarship to play with the group, with later members HENRY PAUL and MONTY YOHO rounding out the act. With rave reviews from CONSUMER magazine and newspaper concert critics. the Outlaws are finally getting national AM airplay on their new debut Arista single "THERE GOES ANOTHER LOVE."

TV's self- proclaimed "hickey" la cross between a hippie and a hick], JIM STAFFORD, provided the one bright spot in the Nielson ratings as this year's only summer replacement show to hit the top 25 in audience viewing. Jtm has been on the music scene for the past fifteen years, but it's only been in the last two that he's become a household word. He went to NASHVILLE from his Florida home as a youngster hoping to become a session guitarist and ended up almost starving. He then played guitar for go-go dancers in Atlanta and started working up comedy material for the intermissions. The first song he wrote was for a dancer titled "I Ain't Sharin' Sharon" and before long his comedic flair interested legitimate cabarets such as MR. KELLEYS and THE CELLAR

DOOR. His hit songs such as "SPIDERS & SNAKES," "WILDWOOD WEED," "MY GIRL, BILL," etc. appealed to almost all segments of the population lending meaning to the word "hickey" and its application the reason for his TV

success. Although his record sales have soared since becoming a weekly living room regular to 25 million viewers, he admits that radio and public performances are his favorite vehicles. He just completed taping thirty-seven radio station interviews in two days and is currently on a

major city concert tour and is kicking around the idea of

taking the TV show on the road making his concerts full

blown entertainment evenings. Said Jim. "I'm very pleased with the TV show as I didn't want it to be just another variety presentation. Being a summer replacement is

difficult as the budgets are extremely low compared to the Fall and Winter "gold" shows and you have very tittle time to develop concepts." Jim plans on retaining his electrical friend, RODNEY THE ROBOT, who is controlled via a program board as invented by BOB EL NICKY who spent three years and 535,000 in Rodney's creation. In addition to his current single "I Got Stoned.... ", expect a new album by Jim very shortly which is in the "polishing stages" and was once again written entirely by the artist. If his TV show is picked up for this season Jim said to expect some surprises from him, which is probably the ONLY safe thing you can say about Ihn Stafford.

POP NOTES BY MIKE KASABO

By now you should have received the new John Denver album "Windsong." Skipping across the tracks for a first listen we were impressed by the title cut, along with "Late Nite Radio," "Fly Away," and "Cowboy's Delight."

The Loggins & Messina album "So Fine" is starting to generate some activity already... cuts most often mentioned are "Hello Mary Lou" "Wake Up Little Susie" and the upcoming single "A Lover's Question."

We note that Rod Stewart is currently enjoying a big hit in England with a song from his latest album "Atlantic Crossing." The cut is "Sailing" and is orchestrated very tastefully.

The Baron Stewart record "We Been Singin' Songs" got a health boost with the additon of WCCO.

Esther Phillips, whose been absent from the singles charts for some time, is starting to show strength with her latest for Kudu called "What A Difference A Day Makes." It went on KFI and WASH.

Still in the What Ever Happened To... Department, the Four Seasons are very much alive and well with "Who Loves You." Reporting immediate hot phones at WCBM.

The Joan Baez single continues to show more action... check New & Active. In regards to that song, Peter Miller of WEEI -FM points out that he first played the cut on June 19 of this year.

Sue Thompson showing immediate calls and sales in Des Moines as reported to us by Del Hull, KRNT.

C.W. McCall's latest "Black Bear Road" went right on a couple of heavies... WGN and KMBZ.

The FCC Continued from page 4

INQUIRY, RULEMAKING SET ON SISTER STATION PROMOTION

An inquiry and rulemaking proceed- ing on whether promotional announcements made by sister stations - commonly owned stations in different broadcast services serving the same community - should be logged as commerical announcements has been initiated by the FCC.

The Commission also invited comments on the possible reclassification of announcements made by a broadcast station promoting its own programming or the station itself.

The action was in response to a question raised by Broadcasters Prom- otion Association, Inc. as to whether anouncements promoting a sister station and/or its programming are required to be entered in the station's program log as commercial announcements or are to be entered as "Other" announcements, in which case they would not be commercial.

The Commission pointed out that trading of spots between sisters stations is not uncommon. typical example is found where a television station licensee is also the licensee of an AM or FM station in the same market. Sister station promotional announcements benefit both stations either directly or indirectly and the licensee receives a similar benefit by having each station promoted on two stations instead of one, and by different broadcast services.

The Commission noted that if sister promotional announcements were deemd to be noncommercial. each of the sister stations would enjoy an advantage over a separately owned competitor both by the multi- service type of promotion and by the fact that a formidable promotional effort could be made without the burden of commercial classification. "Moreover," it

added, "commonly owned broadcast stations already have several advan- tages over separately owned stations. such as permissible simulcasting, the making of joint sales, and the econo- mies resulting from joint operation."

"It may be argued that approval of the additional advantage of classifying sister station announcements as promotional does not serve the public interest," the FCC said.
