20 RII I RneRn AAeRW`L.1 A 1oAa www.americanradiohistory.com radio AC Rivals in D.C. Starting Jazz Shows

BY BILL HOLLAND WASHINGTON Suddenly, and ap- parently without foreknowledge of each other's actions, D.C.'s two ma- jor AC competitors debuted Sunday shows devoted to light crossover jazz. Both WLTT -FM and WASH -FM inaugurated shows on the same date -Feb. 9- featuring music by artists such as George Benson, Da- vid Sanborn, Manhattan Transfer, Spyro Gyra, and Grover Washing- ton. The WLTT show is broadcast in the 10 a.m. to noon brunch time, and the WASH program plays during the 6 to '7 p.m. dinner hour. Actually, WLTT, according to program director Bob Hughes, has been integrating light jazz into its evening fare since the fall of 1984, making it one of the first AC sta- tions in the country to attempt the mix. "It started after we had surveyed our listeners and asked them to tell us the artists they liked. We were very surprised to see names such as Chuck Mangione and Earl Klugh pop up," Hughes says. "There's jazz and there's jazz," he says. "If there's a definition of what we play, it's the more melodic, tuneful kind. We checked with area record shops and found that's what our listeners buy." WASH's general manager Tom Durney says his listeners find "crossover jazz performers and mu- sic" appealing once they get in- volved with them. He feels it's im- portant, however, that "each cut by each artist be prefaced with an in- troduction, a commentary about who the artist is and what he's try- ing to do. That helps the new-to -jazz listener develop an appreciation for it." Hughes feels that WLTT's ef- forts may have influenced WASH's decision to offer a Sunday jazz pro- gram. "I think it clearly reflects our longterm efforts," he says. Durney says he hired an "aficio- nado" of the music to research the particular kind of jazz WASH listen- ers would want to hear. "I took the position -I don't know jazz -of ask- ing, `What's this artist about ?' and `What's this style all about ?' just as For national sales information, our listeners would do." call United Stations Program- The research took six weeks, and ming Network in New York at Durney is pleased with the result - (212) 575 -6100. so pleased, in fact, that he plans to For station clearance informa- syndicate the show once the Metro- tion, call United Stations Pro- media outlet has a quarter -year's gramming Network Affiliate Relations Department in Wash- worth of shows completed. ington, D.C. at (703) 556 -9870.

But un- til now, no AC station has attempt- ed to open the iron curtain that has kept the pop music listener from learning to enjoy jazz music.

"We have never been a one -stop for adult video," says Koch, "I don't know that we ever really wanted to 1 be in it. It was one of those things that evolved with the industry. It just seemed to happen. I don't know that there was a conscious thought of 'Oh, let's sell adult.' " As for the response from those who put out adult product, Koch says: "The adult manufacturers have been really wonderful through all of this. There was no pressure, there have really been no hard feel- ings." Looking at the pressures facing video stores, Koch says "I don't see any decline in the retail store base. There may be fewer stores that are opening with it, but those who have it are making money with it." Still, the storm over porn has had an impact on video retailers, Koch admits: "There's a variety of ways that they're taking on the rhubarb. Some are giving it less attention, some are getting it out. All the rhu- barb will prevent new stores from getting into adult movies." As for who has been doing the viewing, Koch says "One of the most surprising things is that the retail store owners tell me that women rent most of the movies, and that is also true for gay movies." He claims the percentage of the total industry taken up by adult video is "more than anybody would ever care to admit." Not all distributors are moving away from adult product. At Schwartz Bros. Inc., general man- ager Don Rosenberg says "We're 1 FRI going to be carrying it." For a dis- tributor, in many ways conditions are favorable at present, he notes: "There's a big heavy glut on the marketplace, so the prices are com- ing down, and there are people clearing out and $9.95 features that were selling at $100."

The Seventh Victim, linguistic symbols and signs -than in which Kim Hunter gives Satan- in most philosophy classes. Generically, "surround sound" refers to adding rear speakers to an environment and in some cases af- fecting a time -delay to create a front-to -back sonic impression. Pre- decessors of today's surround sound appeared as components of early four -channel movie extrava- ganzas, and of gimmicks like Sen- surround, a process developed for Universal Pictures in 1974 and used in the movies "Earthquake," "Mid- way," and "Rollercoaster." Today the most prevalent such process is Dolby Surround, the roots of which lie in Dolby Stereo, the movie -sound technique that put inventor Ray Dolby's name up in lights. According to Dolby marketing consultant Bill Mead, "Dolby Stereo" technically refers to the proprietary circuitry behind the well -known sound -recording and noise -reduction process that's used primarily for movie soundtracks and, increasingly, for music videos. It's a four -channel, two -track pro- cess using three front speakers: left, right and center. In the mid -'70s, Dolby started en- coding rear -channel surround sound information into the two audio tracks. Filmmakers could use the process to route a channel of sound to speakers in the rear of theaters. (The number of rear speakers is a function of room size, speaker cov- erage, theater budget, etc.) Used mostly for ambient sound and the occasional overhead nuclear missile, this rear-channel process and the accompanying circuitry is called Dolby Surround. Descrip- tions of it are almost invariably fol- lowed by the phrase, "They used it for the helicopters in `Apocalypse Now'." In actuality, it's been en- coded into virtually every Dolby Stereo movie soundtrack since the mid-'70s, in degrees varying accord- ing to filmmakers' tastes. Video labeling is more confusing, ©1986 RKO HomeVideo. A Division of RKO Pictures (Continued on page 43)

FAST FORWARD (Continued from page 42) however. Virtually every Dolby Ste- reo movie properly transferred from film to video carries surround sound encoding-but many video- tapes and disks that people colloqui- ally refer to as "Dolby stereo" (small "s ") do not. And some cas- settes, such as Continental Video's "Heartland Reggae," are labeled VIDEOCASSETTE "Dolby System" -not "Stereo," but "System" -and may not be in true stereo at all. Why the confusion? It's a matter both of surround sound's evolving nature and of Beta Hi -Fi and VHS Hi -Fi technology. Both types of hi fi VCRs record hi fi mono or stereo sound across the width of the tape, using the same "helical- scan" recording technique employed for video signals. By their nature, these video hi fi tracks don't require Dolby noise reduction, an al- most standard feature on home au- dio gear. These VCRs also, however, re- cord sound "longitudinally" -that is, along the length of the tape on a narrow "edge track" (also called "linear track "). This is to insure au- dio compatibility with non -hi fi VCRs and tapes. While the Beta edge track is monaural, VHS edge tracks can be either mono or stereo, and generally employ Dolby -B. Older stereo movies such as Warner Home Video's "Around The World In 80 Days" may thus have what people call a "Dolby stereo" soundtrack simply because the ste- reo linear track has Dolby -B noise reduction. Currently, there are three differ- II ent Dolby logos on prerecorded ST_PEÓ videocassettes and disks. "Dolby System" (also seen as "Dolby Sys- tem On Linear Tracks ") means that the edge track utilizes Dolby -B noise reduction. trii_ "Dolby Stereo" means the movie . -',tt or other program was originally futf1, made with the company's patented/ li I l l Ill . trademarked Dolby Stereo process. Virtually all such tapes have Dolby Surround encoding. The third and newest designation is "Dolby Surround," which means a film or other program has a Dolby Surround channel- which, by defi- nition, also means Dolby Stereo. As Mead explains, " 'Dolby Sur- round' is a trademark; surround sound is a generic way of referring to speakers in the back of a room.

Anderson says his TV spots are two minutes long and cost between $5,000 and $10,000 to produce. All the albums for Merinet Music, a cooperative venture between Mer- it Music and The Nashville Net- work, are specially produced for the label. Merinet's Al Hinson says that "90% of our songs are brand new." The use of unfamiliar material is 14, rare in direct-marketing packages On January and may help account for the fact that Merinet's first project, a $9.95 album by Tom Grant, has sold only about 7,000 copies since the compa- ny made its debut last June. Next up for Merinet, Hinson says, are $9.95 packages by Grand Ole Opry member Jack Greene and the Southern gospel supergroup, Masters V. The Greene collection will contain 11 new songs, and the 2Z000,000 Masters V album will be, according to Hinson, "a gospel collage of stan- dards." Hinson also places average spot production costs in the $5,000 to $10,000 range. The Music Shop, headed by Bil Vorndick, is a mail -order service that deals with all labels. It doesn't produce albums for itself. "People ricans went can call us up and buy just about what they want," Vorndick says. At the center of Vorndick's opera- tion is an 800 -number service that has all manner of direct marketers, including The Music Shop, as its cli- ents.

BMI makes any move easier.

Without BMI's tremendous variety of music, any format change would be a lot more difficult. That's because BMI has always licensed and encouraged all forms of music. Even when others didn't. And no matter how many times BMI a format changes, one thing will never change. You'll always have plenty of BMI music to play.

Wherever there's music, there's BMI.

78 N www.americanradiohistory.com HOT 100 SINGLES SPOTLIGHT

A weekly look behind the Hot 100 with Michael Ellis.

IN THIS ISSUE we have revised our Hot 100 radio panel to bring it up to date with the latest Arbitron ratings information (complete panel, page 20). We ask two questions when evaluating stations for a radio panel. First, is their music in the right format (in this case, top 40)? Sec- ond, is their audience large enough?

WE DEFINE a top 40 station as one that plays all the hits in its local area, regardless of the type or sound of the record. Hits are defined as singles that reach the top 20 in local sales. (This does not mean that a station only should play the top 20 hits; we do not dictate the size of a station's playlist.) Since we survey sales as well as airplay in all mar- kets across the U.S., we can easily crosscheck to see if a station is play- ing all the local (not national) hits or excluding a large number. If a station regularly excludes certain kinds of records that are local hits - such as black crossovers or hard rock -it can still report to Billboard, but in another format, such as album rock or adult contemporary.

IF A STATION qualifies as top 40, we classify it by "cume," which is the total number of different people tuning in a station in an average week. We use cume figures published by Arbitron. We receive all 260 local Arbitron radio ratings reports and attempt to include in our panel all top 40 stations in these Arbitron- measured markets whose weekly cume is more than 100,000. If a station is not in a market measured by Arbitron, we generally cannot use the station because we have no reli- able measurement of audience size. For stations with more than 100,000 cume, we have established the following categories: Platinum, for stations with a weekly cume of one million or more; Gold, for a 500,000- 999,999 cume; Silver, for a 250,000- 499,999 cume; and Bronze, for a 100,000- 249,999 cume.

WE ALSO include on the panel 49 carefully chosen stations with week- ly cumes of 50,000 -100,000 and label them Secondary stations. We do not, however, include every top 40 station in the U.S. under a 100,000 cume because the panel would become unwieldy. With its current size of 235 reporting stations we get an accurate representation of airplay on top 40 radio in various size markets throughout the U.S.

SINCE WE are measuring exposure, we assign the most weight to the Platinum stations, second most to the Gold, and so on. Records earn points when they are added to a station's playlist -plus bonus points as they move up each station's numbered list, reflecting increased airplay. Thus, a record's total radio airplay points reflect the number of stations Afalk playing it; the audience size of the stations playing it; and the amount of airplay a record is receiving on those stations. Airplay points are Nov added to sales points obtained from record store reports to yield final positions each week on the Hot 100. Two separate charts of the top 30 at radio (only) and retail (only) appear weekly for further analysis.
