"If it doesn't work, they'll say it's Denver or Manilow that's the problem." To Harrison, the problem isn't just the selection of artists, but rather the underlying viewpoint of program packagers. Harrison's show isn't attempting such a variety show structure, nor AIM HIGH FOR MORE H will it leaven rock artists with safer, mainstream pop simply to mollify station owners and programmers. Instead, he's aiming at the success implied by a flattering sobriquet DEPEND ON AMPEX TAP awarded him by Liz Smith of the New York Daily News-"the new Dick Clark." "Roots ..." isn't an '80s update of "American Bandstand," though. A combination of live performances and documentary footage that will seek to chronicle rock's evolution through its historical and cultural context as well as the music itself, the series is patterned as a chronological presentation of the contemporary music of the past quarter century, including 150 different acts. The key, for Harrison, has been selecting the right artists to host those segments and help attract other performers. "The reason Dick Clark has been on the air for 25 years is because he does that right," asserts Harrison, noting Clark's long history of forging solid relationships with both emerging and established talent. 3 OUT OF 4 F;ECORDING Harrison's own choices for hosts STUDIOS CIO. have brought Frankie Avalon, Paul Anka, Neil Sedaka, Rod Stewart, El- Ampex profes.=ional tares are used to ton John and Doobie Brothers Mi- miter more lit albums than all Dlf er chael McDonald and Pat Simmons rands combined Moreover, they are used with former Doobie Tom Johnston oy 3 out of 4 ;.tudios in Ameri :a.

`THESKY'S THE LIMIT" maybe a trite expression, but Although Starfleet has become a network on its own, Kopper says, it truly describes the future of Starfleet Blair, which "We'll still do work for anyone who calls us in." in ten years has grown from networking rock concert Kopper says the Starfleet network shows were first sold as a specials live from a "funky old Boston school bus" of a mobile unit to "concept sell, because we thought the cost per thousand would be too satellite in the sky. high." But audiences proved so sizable that Starfleet can today sell its Starfleet founder Sam Kopper fondly recalls the "funky old Boston concerts at record prices ($9,000 a minute) and keep the CPM, as it is school bus" he and his partner Jim Slattery equipped as a mobile known in advertising circles, to a reasonable level. studio after they began to line up remote broadcast assignments from The key to Starfleet is specials and the company must therefore limit record labels. itself to retain the aura of special programming. A special isn't a Today, Kopper and Slattery are moving their company, which was special if it's broadcast every week, Kopper reasons. So Starfleet limits its AOR concert broadcasts to 18 a year, although acquired by John Blair & Co. a year ago, from a radio engineering up a bit. Country and such unique service sold to clients such as record labels, to an independent network this number has been creeping Boston Pops series be too. selling its own time to advertisers. programming as the must limited "We do event programs.

Many competing networks and syndicators distribute taped The production for CBS was one Starfleet was to produce over and concerts. Most concerts aired on radio are probably taped. over for various labels with various hookups. "The record companies Since special event programming must be held to special events, cleared the stations and we produced the shows," Kopper explains. Kopper sees the growth of Starfleet in radio coming in a diversification In those days Starfleet used AT &T land lines and the distribution of of programming. these concerts was limited to markets where AT &T had matched (for Kopper has plans for "a couple of daily and weekly programs," one stereo) 15kHz land lines. It was not until about 18 months ago that of them a la the new "Rockline," which originates in Los Angeles and AT &T finally expanded so that 50 to 60 top markets could be put uses satellites for a telephone talk rock -oriented show.

even more successful. I knew that the more people could hear Starfleet concerts, the more they would be impressed with them, as I have always been." Sitting in his office in Boston, Kopper speaks philosophically about the many changes that have occurred in radio during the past ten years and mused that, ironically, tight playlists have not hurt Starfleet at all. "Despite how restrictive radio is now compared to how it was back in the days of 'free -form' or 'progressive' radio in the late

'605, the one thing that hasn't changed is an interest in live concerts. 101 Some of the stations with the tightest formats in the country are some of our best customers -and some of our most ardent fans. Why? Even if a station only plays one cut from a given artist during normal programming, that station still knows the impact a live concert has, and it really makes a difference hearing that same artist performing live on stage, even if much of the material is music, the station wouldn't play at any other time. The energy and spontaneity of a live show is a very special event .and it can only enhance a station's image." Kopper's opinion coincides with numerous program directors. Tom Daniels of WLPX, which is a rock -oriented Abrams station, chose to carry the recent Starfleet James Taylor concert, although WLPX isn't known for how much James Taylor it plays. "It was a very good idea, actually," says Daniels, "and I know a few other stations that did the same thing we did. It was great for our image, and it got us an incredible amount of phone response, especially from listeners in the 25 -34 year old age bracket. Concerts like James Taylor help us to get

"Because we don't do a concert every week, we can be very selective, and we can provide a station with a very special event. While taped concerts have their benefits, they lack that immediacy, that feeling of being there and WITH TIGHTER PLAYLISTS and a generally being an actual pqrt of the performance.

Today, so Kopper and Starfleet. Tony Berardini, formerly PD and now GM of many radio stations have stopped supporting new artists, so maybe WBCN in Boston sums it up this way: "Starfleet does the best two - there's a way that we can still do something. But it's not easy. Most track mixes in the country. Lots of companies may have the same stations don't want to clear 90 minutes for a live show with an equipment, but it's the technique that counts. We've worked with Sam unknown group." for years, and we feel he's the best. His people know how to get it right "Another thing has changed," Sam observes. "In the past, record the first time, and when you're involved with the immediacy of a live companies would come to us with a group they wanted to do a live concert, that's very important." Tom Daniels, PD of WLPX in show with. They already had the group's permission and the stations Milwaukee, agrees. "We use as many live concerts as we can get our were all lined up. All they wanted from us was the production. We hands on, and we take them from a variety of different companies. But were even paid from the record company's promotion budget. Today, without taking anything away from anyone else, I have to say we we can go to a major group and offer to put them on 90 stations and it would take any Starfleet concert without any qualms. Starfleet does an won't cost them a cent from their promotion budget because the incredible job for us." sponsors are paying for it ... and yet, some groups still ask us if we'll be Kopper, Starfleet founder, is not a novice. His experience spans paying them. many years in radio (at stations like WBCN, KMET, WHCN, WBLM "Don't get me wrong -some groups are very cooperative and they are and CKGM -FM) doing programming and production. And he has aware of the great advantages to their doing a live concert hook -up earned the respect of many radio people who have worked with him. with us, but for some, we have to sell them on the idea.

"I go back years groups and their record companies can see how the concert will not with Sam," says Payton, "back before it was Starfleet, when he had only help them sell more records but also enhance their own Crab Louie productions. Sam has done a lot for AOR radio, and popularity with their fans. I've been very pleased with the degree of Starfleet is just one more example." Kopper recalls that while cooperation we've been getting. A live concert is a good way for a doing live concerts for WBCN, he began to realize how important these group to say to their fans, 'we love you and here's a gift from us to features were to the listeners and he began even as far back as 1969 to you'. plan a way to bring live concerts to radio on a reliable and regular Another change is that Starfleet no longer just deals with album basis. This ultimately evolved into Starfleet and expanded from local stations. "As we are presenting more mass -appeal groups," Bellush hook -ups to a network that now extends all across the country and explains, "stations that might not have carried a live concert before are may soon even involve Europe. "I think the partnership with Blair will expressing the desire to do so.

How does Starfleet decide who Starfleet's fans, KLOS, Los Angeles, PD Tommy Hadges, who knew will or won't be on that network?

"It's insane that some AOR stations, for example, don't have their own dishes," he states. "For under $10,000, or less than the cost of a tape machine, they could be doing wonders for their programming." He says he knows this is true because "radio station programmers are begging for special broadcasting today. Most PDs are more than willing to clear whatever time is necessary because they know they're dealing with premium programming." The link between the listener in Atlantic City, N.J., and the performer in Redondo Beach, Calif., is easily explained. A device known as a splitter, according to Slattery, takes a microphone signal from the concert stage and separates it so that the house sound and monitor board mixers can receive input independently. An isolated feed to the Starfleet bus -a greyish state -of- the -art mobile unit embossed with the company logo -is then processed through a 32- input mixing board, where the broadcast is mixed for radioland. "The house sound guy might not know how to mix. Or his equipment may short. But it doesn't matter because we're working from an isolated feed," says Slattery. "The whole point of the vehicle is to roll up to the show and enhance the music through processing to compensate for any acoustical faults the hall might have. If it has a tendency to absorb a particular frequency of sound that makes an instrument sound hollow, we can correct it with equalization. And we can do it for each mike that's on the stage. We also have equipment which allows us to keep the relative level of a singer's voice constant even if the mike isn't stationary." A stereo signal is either sent by a portable uplink from a truck outside the venue straight to the satellite, or through broadcast

IT'S A SMALL WORLD AFTER ALL

Yes, it's a small world - that is when the USO is there. To U.S. servicemen and women and their families, home is only as far away as the nearest USO. For nearly 40 years, USO has been our serviceman and woman's "best friend" and the place they turn to when a problem develops. Whether it's a family crisis, a feeling of being lost in a new town or country, or just a place to relax ... USO is always there.

This is opposed to the con- trived feature of music on television in the past. This gives the artists more flexibility." 19111 "We want to bridge the gap between rock people and video people," adds Sternberg. "Rock people say video people don't know what we're doing and they don't understand us. Video people say the 111010161.110 rock people don't understand us.

As to whether the event is a live shoot or a taping depends upon the artist. "Some groups will be excited about doing a live satellite and others will not be.

Experience has shown that consumers are even willing to pay a little more for quality instead of spending less. For less.

As you might imagine, Maxell makes up a big part of this picture, with more than an 80% increase in sales over the last 3 years.

HARALD A. KIRSTEN as managing director heads one of the finest management teams in the world of recorded entertainment. To quote Kirsten, we are very proud of our position in the market. A 20 year upward curve has been achieved through hard work, severe market analysis and viable product. The most valuable company asset is the members of the team. Each fulfills his duties with a complete understanding and sympathy to the entire project at hand. A group of strong egos at work -welded to a common purpose. This is the process of forecasting and shaping intellectual properties into goods, and then marketing at a profit. With a very high standard, we cover the complete range of activities in the industry. All of us look forward to the future with great enthusiasm. Barring some insane world catastrophe, Miller product in some configuration, will be enjoyed in homes as the year 2000 rolls around ". HARALD A. KIRSTEN MANAGING DIRECTOR

HEINZ MUELLER, CONTROLLER. Heinz Mueller joined Miller as deputy controller in 1970. He now heads all the financial functions associated with the firm. Mr. Mueller has developed accounting systems and controls that enable sales- management and administration to forecast budgets that rarely come in "off projections." The EDP system and costs analysis and inventory controls give an immediate day to day picture of total status. Monthly P and L's are cast within 10 days of the end of month. Mueller coordinates corporate accounting policy with Dan McGill in U.C., California. The creative department of Miller is headed by Drs. Eric Beurmann and Wilhelm Wille. The company owns two 24 track studios at different locations in the city of Hamburg. A fair amount of recording is also done as remotes or in studios in other cities such as Munich, Berlin and London under direction of Dr. Wille. The spoken word and children's series are scripted and produced by Dr. Beurmann and his charming wife Heikedene Korting -Beurmann. Over 90% of all sales generated by Miller are from their own productions. The balance is licensed from CBS and other licensors. This year, Europa will release in excess of 90 new programs plus 12 licensed. A vital part of the A & R function is constant negotiation of low royalty product that has a place in the market.

Zbp international names such as Costa Cordalis and Johnny Cash generate very handsome royalty statements for licensors while rounding out the Europa repertoire.

For twenty years running, scrapped or obsolescent inventory is historically less than 1/2 of 1% of sales.

At monthly one or two day meetings the general planning of Miller is shaped. Agendas start with the P and L of the prior month and all targets and results are reviewed. New projects and the budget forward is then detailed with all department heads. Problems are never left unresolved, and are actioned prior to the next meeting. The committee echoes Dave Miller in saying "in spite of economic, marketing and configuration changes, the company can look forward to the year 2001 with a spirit of high optimism.
