LOS ANGELES -"Radio stations that just play singles don't take the time to listen. They just allow record companies to dictate what they play," says Alonzo Miller, music director of KACE, an urban contemporary outlet in Los Angeles. With an ample supply of quality current product, urban radio is regarded by many as being in the best position of all formats, and Miller feels his relationship with the record industry is positive and mutually beneficial. Yet he also believes he must look beyond the weekly singles list when programming KACE. "That means we're playing mostly album cuts. Eight out of IO times that cut will become a single if it isn't already, but that's not the point. Regardless of its status, we're programming the music that our audience wants." Programming the music that a station's audience wants often means relying on something beyond the current hits. "Regardless of what's selling on the singles chart, adults aren't buying singles. It's not a wise move to use a chart that's irrelevant to your format," says Jim Wood, who relies heavily on research to program country- formatted KNEW and KSAN in San Francisco. "The first thing that research told us was that nobody, no adult that is, likes currents. They just don't test well, because adults react negatively to unfamiliar product. For that reason, new currents are given the lowest It was a hot and steamy summer priority on our rotation system. But we do need them, and we do play night in Meridian, Mississippi. them.
