Politicos Must Run The Ford for President Com-

mittee has succeeded in getting the backing of the Federal Communica- tions Commission in their recent ruling that politicians have the same time buying rights as other advertisers. The Ford camp requested that the FCC determine whether WGN Radio and TV /Chicago was within its rights when they refused Ford's advertising because it was not in 5 minute blocks. The Chicago broadcaster felt that the minute and a

half ads that the Ford Committee wanted did not allot enough time for politician's policies to be aired, and that five minute blocks were necessary in order to get those points across. The FCC ruled that politicans could not be singled out by special time rulings, and that regular spot advertising should be accepted.

RANDOLPH'S CONVENTION MARATHON

The very athletic John Randolph from WAKY /Louisville reported this week on his Convention '76 jogging marathon. Randolph is accustomed to running 2 miles every morning, but was a little sceptical about running the streets of downtown At- lanta during his Convention stay. Therefore, John decided the best way to keep in tune was to jog the stairway of the 70 story Peach- tree Plaza. With spotters planted a-

long the way to make sure he covered the whole building, Randolph clocked in the entire 1120 steps in a mere 12 minutes.

labels on their music tapes, stating that "this is not an original artist recording," if the actual recording artist's name is not "conspicuously disclosed." The FTC had received a complaint which stated that the labeling of the tapes and advertisments were misleading.

Although the study pointed out that major purchases are again on the rise, it also found that 52% of their res- pondents said that they are trying to increase their savings accounts.

More Cutbacks Ahead For Postal Service In a speech prepared for the Detroit Economic Club, Postmaster General Benjamin Bailar stated that

postal deliveries may have to be cut, and other drastic measures taken in order to put the Postal Service back on its feet.Bailar also said that even if the Services' current debt was erased, deficits would begin piling up immediately since " .,our basic difficulty lies in providing a service that may become less and less economically justifiable and could become obsolete." The major plan for the time beings is the possibility of cutting deliveries from 6 to 5 days per week, as well as the elimination of other services.

Fraudulent Billing Fines The FCC has fined WKPA and WYDDIPittsburgh for "knowingly engaging in fraudulent billing prac-

tices." Both faci ities are owned by Gateway Broadcasting. The Commission upheld an earlier decision by an administrative law judge, setting the fine at $10,000.

Mouse Club." The new series of half hour shows is slated for syndication by early 1977. Each segment will feature a different theme.

KDA YAd Campaign KDAYILos Angeles will use print and outdoor media to herald their new consumer effort, with the

theme "The Great Entertainer." The campaign will plug the station's community involvement with the slogan "KDAY is number 1 in Black audience because KDAY is number 1 in Black community involvement."

New NAB Specialist George Gray, vice president of Avco Broadcasting has been appointed

100 -plus TV market specialist in the National Association of Broadcasters Government Relations Department

TWA Ads Under Fire Trans World Airlines has agreed to modify their current advertising,

after complaints by a number of competitive airlines were voiced- The strongest objection came from American Airlines, who stated that TWA's current ads which compare on -time performance for a number of airlines were out of line. These ads feature models of other airline's plans and state that TWA has the best record for on time flights. American complained to the Civil Aeronautics Board, who's Bureau of Enforcement ordered TWA to suspend their current ads in order to eliminate the objections. Specific changes that will be made by TWA are not yet set, and it remains to be seen whether or not the new campaign will calm other airlines. American Airlines' feelings on the ads were so strong that they had considered doing their own comparative ads on safety records, which has long been discouraged in the airline industry.

Advertising sources find the industry battle interesting because of current Federal Trade Commission suggestions that comparative advertising be used more by all industries.

RECORDS RETARD INDUSTRY NOTES

by Candy linken Sources close to the situation say that Ringo Starr is near finalization

of a recording deal with Atlantic Records...Elton John's first U.K. tour in over two years predictably sold out completely within a few short hours. The extensive twenty -one city undertaking is the first major swing through that country by an artist of John's stature...ABC's Bob Gibson is taking an indefinite leave of absence from that company to spend some time with his family and also has plan for an extended trip to Portugal...Bugs Bunny's favorite wit (who also serves as Senior Vice President for the famous Rabbit's Warner Bros. label) Stan Comyn, announced last week that he is the proud Father of a new son Thomas Guy Cornyn II. Cornyn did state that without the able assistance of his wife, Theodora, the new release could not have been delivered... Congratulations to another victim of the stork, Neil Sedaka, who cele- brates his own bout with the bird thirty -seven years ago this week... The movie that Elektra /Asylum's Chairman Joe Smith may grace with his acting talents (also starring Paul Newman) is titled "Slap Shot" with another industry star joining the cast last week, Rick Nelson...

Another Beetle re -union rumor was circulating last week with several people stating that Lennon, Harrison and Ringo are talking about joining musical forces for a one -time album collaboration. Paul McCartney was reportedly approached by his former mates about the idea, but ap- parently nixed that suggestion as well as other persistent offers from various promoters for a world -wide televised Beatle concert...Accidently keeping it all in the family were Johnny Cash and his wife June Carter who both broke their legs in separate accidents recently while the two were vacationing in Jamaica. Both singers are recuperating nicely while sporting matching pairs of cast...The follow -up single to the Rhythm Heritage's gold disco version of "Theme From S.W.A.T." will probably be another cut from the group's "Disco-fied" album, "Theme From Beretta."

The Carpenters showed their generosity by presenting their long- time engineer, Ray Gerhardt, with a 1976 Jaguar XJ -S in appreciation for his excellent contributions to the Carpenters having been a steady team-mate since their recording of "Ticket To Ride. "...Canadian label, Mushroom Records, (who are currently establishing a U.S. base with offices in L.A.) have released their first album in this country with the already gold (in Canada) album "Dreamboat Annie" album by Van- couver group, Heart..Chicago will embark on their bicentennial tour to commence the twentieth of this month coinciding with the release of their latest album "Chicago X. "...English dominated Chrysalis Records are Americanizing their stable with the recent signing of U.S. artist, Lee Garrett, whose first album "Heat For The Feets," will be available this month along with a debut single "You're My Everything." You may remember Garrett when he was a Philadelphia and Detroit jock who used to spin RF&B discs as "The Rockin' Mr. G." After "Holiday," "Home- coming," "Hearts" and "History," it's hardy happenstance to hear that America's new LP handiwork has the homogeneous heading of "Hide- away."...

Helen Reddy, who has tripled The Midnight Special's ratings after assuming the hosting duties of that show, will donate a huge chunk of her Washington D.C. concert earnings at Constitution Hall late t(iis month to The Equal Rights Amendment (E.R.A.) The charity conscious singer along with her husband /manager, Jeff Wald, have already given generous amount of money to various organizations in the past...Word is that Bill Cosbÿ s new comedy album is his best to date with several labels in competition for distribution of the hilarity...After previewing several demo tapes of four -member group, La Seine, AriolalAmerica has signed the American band who are currently heading into the studios... Island Records has bowed to the public's demand for more Chieftain's product and will be releasing the Irish band's previous four albums. The favorite of several European superstars, the group's latest album "Chieftains 5" has been the hottest selling Irish album in this country and includes the soon-to -be- released single, "Love Theme From Barry Lyndon," being offered in conjunction with the group's national tour kicking off next month...

Last week several fans jammed the small bar in Atlanta's Stauffer's Hotel hoping to spot hotel guest, David Bowie. The superstar delighted the waiting throng by dropping in for a quick drink and then jamming with his band on the small stage. Bowie sang a new song he recently composed while rehearsing in Jamaica titled "Sister Midnight." Naza- reth's new album is expected in April titled "Close Enough For Rock t Roll. " ...If that voice sounds familiar on Greedy Record's release "Words,"

it's Skylark's former member, Donny Gerrard (who came into prominence as the lead voice on "Wildflower. ")...The new Roy Buchanan album "A Street Called Straight" as produced by Grammy award winning producer, Arif Mardin, is set for release next month...The new Stills and Young album is nearing completion and is slated to be available in May... Paul Kossoff's Back Street Crawler Band were joined by label mates, Bad Co. last week at the Starwood in L.A. with the two hard rockers delighting a surprised audience until 4:30 in the morning...Leon Russell is set for a major U.S. tour in early May along with his singer/wife,

PERFEKT RECORDS RETURNS TO NARM WITH MYTHICAL PLAN

LOS ANGELES- Perfekt Records Et Tapes, the hypothetical manufacturer conceived for the making of The Mythical Group and a seminar on the subject at last year's NARM meet will live again for " Perfekt Records Et Tapes, Part I1." The follow -up discussion on the problems connected with keeping the ball rolling for a group into their second album and first tour will take place Tuesday morning, March 23 at the Diplomat in Hollywood, Florida, as part of the scheduled program for the 18th Annual NARM Meeting.

A£tM Vice President, Promotion, Harold Childs will take on the Perfekt executive vice president mantle for the first time this year. Also participating in the seminar's

A total Mythical Group campaign has been undertaken for demonstration purposes, coordinated by the seminar's executive committee (consisting of Grieff, Steele and Berland), and executed by the combined services of Gribbett, Ltd., Westland Graphics, independent copywriter Robert Adels and photographer Paul Fewsmith.

Elements of the campaign, including album easel- backs, posters, stand -ups, press kits, trade and consumer ads and other examples of an all -out marketing strategy will be presented at the seminar, and their functions explained within the context of a total plan of action which carries a breaking group all the way home.

Focal point of the campaign is The Mythical Group's second album, "Rhinestone Together Nights." The title track will be unveiled as a single release in the course of the "Perfekt Records Et Tapes, Part II" seminar.

The realities as well as the highest hopes of The Perfekt Campaign will be addressed in the course of the seminar, which will encourage audience participation via ongoing question- and -answer segments during the panel discussion.

Like Country radio, Black radio has been getting its act together. In the past, Black radio has not sounded good (in my opinion), has been undisciplined and unscientific and even unprofessional in some cases (again in my opinion). So it is good, I feel, that Black radio is cleaning up. However, in case no one ever has..let's be fair about this, because there has been something terribly right with Black stations too, throughout the years.

Let's not forget that Black stations most times, have had bad dial positions, signals which failed to cover the market, jocks who were underpaid and overworked, no budgets with which to work, poor equipment to work with, and often a lack of concern on the part of station owners to do anything other than make money since it was only a Black station.

In spite of all this though, Black radio has always managed to communicate with its audience. Though the stations sometimes sounded bad, most times they related, they entertained, and they sounded aware. So as Black radio awakens and moves to improve itself, let's give credit where credit is due. -

As noted in "Late News" this week, the ARB's are coming in. We'll get into those books next week.

In last week's issue, the title of the Tavares single was incorrect in New &Active. The correct title is "The Love I Never Had."

BLACK Radio A DARKER SHADE

OF PALE by Jerry Boulding

In many markets today, radio's changing audience patterns continue to show increasing strength for Black radio. Now, because of the ethnic weighting, Black radio stations are beginning to get full credit for their achievements. In markets like Mem- phis, Los Angeles, New York. St. Louis and even such key secondary markets as Birmingham, Black radio stations have continued to garner a

large share of the available audience. This is a sure sign of progress certainly, but moreover, it is a sign of growth.

Radio is a means of communi- cation, an exchange of thought and opinion between the broadcaster and his audience. Whatever their color, many of peoples', especially young peoples', interests are similiar. The industry that at first surely would have rejected such records as "Fight The Power" and "That's The Way I Like It," suddenly found they were huge hits with universal appeal. The growth that we speak of in this instance, took place inside the heads of a lot of young people, musically. Not long ago these types of songs would have been restricted to Black radio and perhaps of late, some of the "hipper" discos, who despite their restrictions, inferior signals and low power, managed to influence a lot of record buying, radio listeners. You see, these young people share some of the same problems, ideas and joys that young people everywhere face. They are into the music, the social and cultural happenings of our immediate world. And they must grow. And in order for any people to grow, there must be an exchange of ideas.

To really understand what is hap - .,,, pening, we must go back a few

years. We must go back to the time when there was a clear division between radio stations and the music they played. During this time, Black announcers enjoyed the right to select those records that would be played on their programs. The reason given by many owners and man- agers for this was because these Black jocks, it was felt, had their fingers on the pulse of the Black community. They could select records they knew people would enjoy, because in fact, they were part of the people, part of the community. This, coupled with the fact that the Black market was buying records at a fantastic rate, prompted the beginning of a change in the acceptance of so- called Black music or "race" music or rhythm and blues music, as it was then called.

As the new sounds of rhythm and blues music became intertwined with the rock and roll beat, everyone became involved. Everyone in the music business began to exper- iment and specialize in their own unique things and the public loved it, and it was very good for business.

Then the audience changed and became more and more specialized. The young sound captured the young people and they demanded more. More singles, more albums, more tapes- more concerts and more ex- periments and everyone got closer together. Blacks who had been listening to general market stations, mostly on FM (Everyone, it seemed, who was into college, was into FM) found that they liked, and more im- portantly, understood more and more of the new music because the

message was now their message. Protest songs affected everyone who was of draft age. It even affected the women whose men might have to serve.

Records, for the most part, up to this time, had dealt with non- controversial subjects like love and romance and dance fads. Rememb- er the "Twist?" But, by the end of the sixties, there were songs like, "People Got To Be Free," by The Rascals and "Bring The Boys Home," by Freda Payne. These songs were hits and their messages were real. They reached everyone.

We're dealing with the idealism of young people. Much of our audience today in radio is young people. They are the people we are trying to reach. They are not all teeny -boppers either. They are young executives and professionals. They are young marrieds, who enjoyed rock yesterday, when they were single, and today, now that they are married. This is a fast -moving, need everything crowd...they buy the cars, the gasoline, the colas and the air -line tickets. They take vacations, use tobacco and patent medicines at an alarming rate.

You see, be they black or white, peoples similiarities far outweigh their differences. We may have come over in different ships, but we are in the same boat now.

Pessimism has affected a great many people of humanitarian im- pulse yet, paradoxically, it has been reaction that has suffered the more significant defeats...it seems to me that perhaps our worst failure is our inability to appraise our success and consequently, to know our true strength and to use it effectively. In the fiercely competitive music industry (one in which radio still plays a key role) there is need for change. If new human values are a necessity in the enlarged com- plexities of a mega -technicratic world, we must define those values. Just as we have pushed drugs, crime and poverty to the center stage, we must examine these values.

We have made the word "ecology" understood by tens of millions and summoned them to the battle for environmental survival. The so-called "hit consciousness" that looms in our minds as the most significant reason for the ratings growth of many stations needs to be challeng- ed. The old assumption that people tuned in just to hear the favorite personality, and whatever he played was "super" seems to be losing both validity and numbers in most markets. It is necessary for stations to exercise central control over the music that is played.

While, in many Black stations today the control is not as tight as that found among the rock stations, it represents a thorough screen- ing and a careful selection based on complete market research, both from singles and from LPs.

Individual announcers are not given the freedom and the wide !at- titude of choice that once prevailed. Balance, rotation and frequency are now tightly controlled, and they should be. It would stand to reason that even the best personality has to do better with the right music and that he is seldom as well qualified as the station's music and /or program director and their research to determine what music will attract the most listeners. It becomes a

matter of arming the personality

with the best available music based on continuing research to do a better job, both on- the -air and in the ratings.

As we all are most aware, radio is not like sitting in a movie theater or reading a newspaper. The atten- tion span of an average radio list- ener, be he Black or white, is far less than that of even a television viewer. To some, radio is subliminal a part of their everyday routine, a background noise, or a nice ges- ture for an office waiting room, a

substitute for Muzak, if you will.

To others, radio is something to do while they're in the car, a way to enjoy the beach, or listen to the ball game while working or laying around. The fact remains that radio is just not what it was many years ago. At that time, it was the single form of broadcast entertainment and people found radio exciting. For most today. the bulk of the listeners are there for the music, some late news and an occasional clever

crack by the jock on a contest that's well done and sparks his interest.

Popular music for radio was and never will be a segregated type of musical format. There are no restrictions, no color barriers to the type of music that people like. In- tegration in music, as anywhere, involves an acceptance of differences. You must keep an open mind. It is trite but true to say that the one unchanging aspect of radio programming regardless of its target audience, is change itself.

At this point, it's quite obvious that syndicated radio packages are becoming a very important part of the nationwide radio scene. The current rennaisance had much of its start in AOR Radio but is now spreading to formats of all descriptions.

When syndicated programs such as The King Bisquit Flower Hour, Rock Around The World, Innerview, etc. first came on the scene they were enthusiastically greeted by programmers because they provided the radio station with the means to present material in the form of live concerts, interviews, commentaries, with market exclusivity of certain advance materials that they normally would not have the ìn -house re-

sources to maintain on a regular basis. In addition, these syndicated programs through their exposure of new, regional, and even foreign acts on a nationwide level provided radio stations with an extra degree of programming dimension to sort of act as a bit of seasoning in the hum drum play it safe stew.

In spite of the well backed documented claims of many that consistency and familiarity are the surest road to healthy ratings. many aggressive programmers have proven that the proper placement and promotion of even the most off the wall special can pay off in the ratings. Look at the success of Dr. Demento. Furthermore, a radio station that provides its listeners with sporadic relief from well disciplined consistency and researched hit music power might find that they lessen the chances of losing listeners because of boredom. In other words, decrease the blandness of the total package.

The thing that I found rather interesting at the recent convention was the well stated opinion of many leading programmers that they would prefer for syndicated programs to stay away from the lesser known acts and regionally known acts and concentrate mainly on uni- versally appealing (proven) performers. These statements came from many of the same people who complained of blandness and overtightness as being a problem in radio today.

As it stands, syndicated programs provide radio with an obvious vehicle for change and variety. Most important, the radio "special" is commercial music radio's last vestige of Primary Media -ness. That is where people tune in at a certain time, listen to the program from beginning to end, and then either stick around for whatever's next or move on to other things. Or to put is simpler, the kind of stuff that your local newspaper will list on its radio page schedule.

Certainly we want our syndicators to consider the needs of their individual affiliates and conduct their programming with a degree of consistency and discipline, however, we should think twice before pre ssuring them to adhere totally to the same homogenization that most commercial radio stations are being forced to deal with on one level or another. You see- if all syndicated programs played it safe in order to appease the lowest common denominator, they would nullify them- selves right out of our needs and out of existence.

We should demand more of our syndicators than we do of our- selves. Not as much or less. Otherwise, why have them at all?

Ming That Cha Do' and "Welkin by Myself." On the meaty side. there's "Everybody's Stoned" and "Ring You Up" which is a killer. Hardly a weak cut ICapricoml

STEVE GIBBONS

They are a hard working. seasoned band and this album features a nice variety of tempos and extremely proficient gu.tar work. " (t Started in Heaven" "Rest In Peace" (Atlantic)

Fine new English smokers. Gibbons is a strong lead vocalist and he's backed effectively by twin lead guitars that provide a very solid beat. "Take Me Home" "Standing on the Bridge' "Strange World" "Sweetheart" IMCAI

EARL SLICK

Bowie's former lead guitarist is now on his own heading up a four man powerhouse Rock and Roll band. This is not your run of the mill album that can result from the common situa bon of a musician splitting a secure base to start a self directed career. Watch for Slick to emerge as a major musical force in the late '70s. "Heaven Couldn't Find" "Sho' Nuff" "Bright Light" and more. (Capitol)

NEW YORK MARY NI W Ya clac NAST

Listening to this album. one gets the feeling that this new instrumental ensemble intended to do serious contemporary Jan. What they came up with. however, is absolutely classy Motion Music that touches a variety of musical genres. Comes on strong with the very first groove. "New York Mary" "Feet First" "Shooby."

Includes Sunlight /Ridgetop Miss Hesitation Peace Song

Just about every city in the nation considers Jesse to be a "local favorite" which tells you something about the level of his grass roots imbedded appeal.

BUDDY MILES nwr . . .01., a" lab '

Welcome back Jonathan. He's gotten a bit more Country-ish since his temporary disappearance from making albums and that change seems to have dumped him smack dab in the middle of the commercial Progressive Country movement This is Emmylou Harris kind of music. As a

matter of fact she sings on the album. "Favorite Song" "How Long" "Ain't Got Time" "Hello" "Rockin Chair" IWBI

KOKOMO KOKOMO

RISE AND SHINE! including:

UseYour Imagination /Do It Right Feelin Good /Little Girl/Without Me

Miles' long career has produced music that has been everything from exçellent to much lesser descriptions. This is one of his better efforts. An aggressive blend of powerful instru. mentation and well punctuated vocals. The al. bum never quite lets up. All of side 1 is hot. Also. "Reuben The Hurricane' ICeseblanca l

A really good band in the style of AWB. There is. however, enough of a difference in the vocal approach to make them quite individual and worthy. "Do It Right" "Use Your Imagination" "Feelin Good" (Columbia)

Direct From Duncan

Meanwhile back at the column: The Seventh Country Radio Semin- ar is next week. A reminder to all reporting stations: Your music reports must be into us no later than next Wednesday, March 17. Thank you in advance for preparing them a bit earlier that week...The final mastering of the 1976 CRS Aircheck album last week was an experience for myself. I spent a couple hours at the (amour Capitol Records Tow- er near Sunset and Vine, here in Hollywood, working with a fine mastering engineer JAY MAY - NARD. I sure learned a bunch about the actual cutting of a record from this fine gentleman. I'd like to thank Jay and Barbara from Capitol Re- cords for helping us put together the album from this end. Also, FRANK MULL, of Mull -Ti -flits Pro- motions, deserves a big round of drinks for his effort in the design of the album jacket. This years LP features fifty different radio stations...A couple of last mintìte re- minders about the CRS: If you are coming to the seminar and have not registered, send in a registra- tion form or a note of your intentions to: Country Radio Seminar, P.O. Box 12617, Nashville, Tenn. 37212. At this late date DO NOT SEND MONEY. Bring your check or cash to Nashville with you. Last year some late registrants arrived to find their money had not arrived. The seminar people would like to know for meals. etc, the number of people who intend to be there. Fin- ally,. there will be an engineering session that will require the use of a transistor radio for the presentations. Bring one with you. See you in Music City next week.

From the "Let's- Stop- That -Rumor -Right- Now -Department:" No JER- RY BRADLEY, President of RCA, Nashville, is not leaving the company as I heard from many different people last week in Nashville...Stor - er Broadcasting Company will not be selling all of its radio stations. Storer owns not only KGBS AM & FM in Los Angeles, but WHN in New York. So far WHN has become their hottest property. (See latest New York ARB). According to Program Director ED SALAMON of WHN: "Storer has no intentions of getting rid of WHN. Some of their propdrties will be up for sale soon, but we are doing so well in New York, I know for a fact they would not dispose of this property. "

CHANGES: JAY ST. JOHN has departed from WVOJ, Jacksonville Florida. He had been taking care of music. JOHN HARMON, Pro-

. gram Director, will handle the job for now...BOB CLAYTON has left KLAK. Denver, to join WWVA, Wheeling West Va. as morning drive jock. Clayton will use the name CHARLIE COOKE...JAY RAMEY, formerly of WORL, Orlando and W K DA, Nashville has joined the music research team at WHN...CHIP POLK is leaving KLLL, Lubbock. Texas to take on the sales manager position at KKYN in Plainview, Tex- as. JACK McCARTY will take over for Polk at KLLL...New air personality at WUBE, Cincinnati is DAVE WHITE from KTRM, Beaumont, Tex as...KSON. San Diego has appoint -

POP/ ADULT

NOTES BY MIKE KASABO

The Paul Delicato "Cara Mia" starting to show a good number of hot reports, including a big jump at WLW 32 -19.

Peter Frampton's "Show Me The Way" is off to a good start with two key Pop /Adultstations...KIOland WIP.

The Hall E' Oates "Sara Smile" made an impressive jump in Pittsburgh atWTAE 9 -1.

Ronnie Milsap, who picked up a lot of points at the Convention '76 banquet, got an early key add this week at WG N. Title is "What Goes On When The Sun Goes Down."

John Lund, WNBC, put on the Donny Gerrard record "Words" last week. Reason for the mention is that Lund runs a tight list and rarely goes on one out of the box... maybe he hears something. KNX -FM also added it.

The Jean-Claude Borelly continues to keep pace with some of the hotter current items...18 -10 WLW, 29 -26 with good phones at KRMG. Hot reports also at KIOI, KNBR, KMBZ, KCRA, KDIG.

The new Fleetwood Mac "Rhiannon" jumped right on WSM and K101.

Ted Johnson, WSM, continues to experience superior action on the Starland Vocal Band record "Afternoon De- light." Ted claims it's the hottest thing he's seen in many months.

The Waylon Er Willie "Good Hearted Woman" is still getting strong additional support and now reports hot at WTAE and KULF.

Grammy winner Natalie Cole picked up good play this week at WNBC and KFMB. "Inseparable" has been an up- again, down -again follow -up. But now appears to be clearing it's way for a good chart run.

The new Mac Davis picked up play atWMAL and WSB. After a healthy run with "I Like Beer," KEX becomes the

first Pop /Adult station I know of to play Tom T. Hall's latest "Faster Horses." .

First week action on the Pearl's record "I'll See You In My Dreams" at WHIO is very impressive in terms of solid phone calls.

You know the song. You know the singer.

But wait till you hear the record.
