WWMN -AM began broadcasting on New Year's Day, 1982 as what is considered to be one of the first women's entertainment stations. Staffed almost totally by women on both production and broadcast ends, the format was the brainchild of manager Marsha Kloor. "I was driving back from a Dallas confer- ence (the station was formerly a reli- gious format, with mainly paid pro- gramming), considering the options for an AM daytimer. The idea came to me all at once, and then I suc- ceeded in a 15 -month sell job. The owners, Reams Broadcasting of To- ledo, Ohio, have really been sup- portive, and very progressive to let us give the idea a year trial," Kloor relates. "I'm convinced narrowcasting is the future of radio, at least AM ra- dio," Kloor continues. "We want to reflect our listeners, so we're using a call-in format. We're programming three hours of talk, all segments dealing heavily with call -ins taped for playback and all heavily local- ized." From 9 to 10 a.m. a psy- chotherapist, Ann Splane, will assist callers with problems. Between noon and 1 p.m. psychic Mary Christie will give psychic readings to the au- dience via telephone from Detroit." The third call -in hour will feature both personalities and issue -ori- ented guests. WWMN has local and national news six times a day and headline and weather five times. Finding good syndicated material has been a problem, Kloor admits. "I'm shopping for a network affiliate and we carry Sherrye Henry on 'Women in The '80s' and Niki Scott on 'Working Women.' " (Both seg- ments are aired twice daily.) Kloor also goes on the air with an editorial series called "One Woman's Opin- ion," which considers such topics as Nancy Reagan as a Barbie Doll role model. The station plays music during the other segments of the broadcast day. "Since we were trying something new, we decided to be all new," Kloor says. "We thought we might as well develop a unique music con- cept. We basically play adult con- temporary, but we develop all the i music locally.

Peter Tyler, 31, and disk jockey Ann Bell came to Oklahoma City from England last October to open the black suede, gray velvet, brass and glass Club Dax. At least twice a month live entertainment is on stage. The club laid out $7,500, plus ex- penses, for a Smothers Brothers one nighter. Tickets went for $15.00. The Association had a ticket price of $10.00, while there was no cover for Ramsey Lewis, the Kingston Trio and Kreskin who "went down really very well." Problems Tyler has experienced include entertainers who "don't expect to find this quality of a club in Oklahoma." That quality includes a complete broadcast facility, including three cameras, a 1600 channel mixer and sound. Beginning the end of July cable tv will broadcast live from Club Dax every Saturday from 6 -7 p.m. "It's giving the locals a chance," Tyler explains. At the onset no one out of state will be signed, although that concept may expand "depending upon how much high -quality local talent is available." With a tv crew inside, the club will still hold 300 which Tyler hopes "will be drinking." His agreement with the cable chan- nel is that "we take the door and bar take." It affords the club a new avenue since on Saturdays our crowd doesn't get started until 11 p.m.," states Tyler.

"Rock will always be the bread winner, because of the teen- agers," he explains. "My experience has been that when you're dealing with country you're playing to a more mature audience, and as such your ticket sales are usually down.

Bill Skirvin was a man with friends in high places. And, when he built his grand new hotel, 70 years ago, he opened his doors to all of them. On any given day in the Skirvin Lobby, you'd see Senators and Representatives, Democrats and Republicans, Indian chiefs and oil barons. And, on more than one occasion, the President of the United States. You can still enjoy Bill Skirvin's style of hospitality in our completely renovated guest rooms, ballrooms, and lobby. In our fine food and attentive, efficient service. In Skirvin Place, our new underground gallery of restaurants and boutiques. And in Pinstripes, our sophisticated bar and restaurant. It's all in the unmistakable spirit of Big Bill Skirvin. He was an original. And so is his hotel. Call toll free for reservations or information: 1- 800 -654 -4500. In Oklahoma call: 1-800- 522-3333.

Unlike last year when torrential rains washed out many events planned for Saratoga, N.Y., this year's festival enjoyed near perfect weather; and, although firm attend- ance and revenue figures are not yet in, Wein states that they are at least as.good as, if not better than, last year. Wein estimates that at least 100,000 people attended the festival in New York City alone, and he feels that when figures are in for Sara- toga, Waterloo Village, N.J. and other venues at which concerts were held, the results will be a festival that September 8- 10,1982 was at least as successful, if not bet- Newporter Hotel ter than last year. The only area in which Wein Newport Beach, California found the results disappointing was the weekend (June 26 -27) Jazzfare segment on the Purchase campus of the State University of New York. Wein describes the concerts them- selves (which featured more than 150 artists at six different sites) as "dynamite," but attributes the dis- appointing attendance to the diffi- culty in reaching the site. One of the most popular segments of the festival was the innovative "Aspects Of Jazz" seminars presented in conjunction with the State Univ. Of New Jersey, and held at the Guggenheim Museum in New York City. The seminars were produced by jazz historians Dan Morgenstern YOUR TICKET TO SUCCESS and Thom Shepard and covered such topics as "Jazz And The Young Billboard's International Talent Forum 8, Newport Beach, CA Black Audience," "Frontiers Of Jazz Oral History," "Images In Black THIS YEAR, YOU ARE THE ADVISORY COMMITTEE.

www.americanradiohistory.com EXCERPTS OF AN INTERVIEW WITH

JOE JACKSON

FOLLOWING THE

COMPLETION OF

HIS LATEST ALBUM, "NIGHT AND DAY"

WHICH WAS WRITTEN AND E 1\1 RECORDED ENTIRELY

IN NEW YORK CITY.

INTERVIEWER: Does the album title, "NIGHT AND DAY," reflect 24 hours a day in the city?

JOE JACKSON: Yeah. Since moving to the city, I've seen many bizarre things while walking the streets. There is an amazing wealth and diversity of music going on here. I was describing a mood, a feeling of optimism. I feel this album is very optimistic. All the really uptempo stuff is called the "Night Side;' whereas the ballads are on the "Day Side" Night- time represents excitement. Daytime is when you have to cope with life and think about what's happening -and get over your hangover...like the point between getting over one hangover and acquiring another.

INT: The tracks from the "Night Side" all run into each other at a fast- driving, infectious pace...

J.1.: I thought it would make it that much more intense -like being in a club where every record cross -fades into the next. The poor, unfortunate listener doesn't have a chance to collect his thoughts -or take a breath! The side's last cut, "Steppin' Out" is a song about the romance of nightlife... INT: What do you think it is, about nightlife, that gets "People are too concerned into people's blood? with whether they're going to 1.1.: Because it's fun, you know? appear cool, or hip, or whether their INT: "Breaking Us In Two;' opens up side two. You've 'street' credibility will suffer if they this, called it the "Day Side" because you like to take it do a bit slower and easier... or that. No one's going to be hip forever.

J.1.: This album is a 50/50 mix, which I think is nice. Who cares. The important thing is to follow your If you feel in the mood to listen to some ballads, instincts, and produce the best music you can" you can just put the "Day Side" on.

INT: It seems you're not afraid to sing with conviction and emotion, which is rare today. 1.J.: Yeah. You know, people are too concerned with whether they're going to appear cool, or hip, or whether their "street" credibility will suffer if they do this, or that. No one's going to be hip forever. Who cares. The important thing is to follow your instincts, and produce the best music you can.

INT: Again, from the "Day Side,' the cut "Real Men" really grabs people. It's dramatic, almost Phil Spectorish at times. The instrumental is quite clear and the words are striking. They mean something. J.J.: Yeah. Well, hopefully that's true. It's a song about the age old battle of the sexes. Times are changed, but no one's really quite sure what the score is. I think your average male has had his masculinity and supremacy threatened to the point where he's not sure what it is he's supposed to do. Intelligent, forward thinking, in the sexual arena, is being done by women. It's all about the way stereo- types have reversed, turned upside down and become meaningless.

INT: Will you begin touring? J.1.: We start off going all over Europe and England. We end up doing the biggest tour ever, of the States -four or five months. We have a few days off, now and again, to try and prevent ourselves from going crazy, but we'll be covering the whole country. Canada, as well. JOE JACKSON'S BEST MUSIC INT: All of your albums have been so different... NIGHT AND DAY,

Any hints on the next? ON A&M RECORDS AND CASSETTES

J.J.: I've got a few ideas, but I'm not saying ... Co- produced by David Kershenbaum and Joe Jackson
