ARTISTS IN TRANSITION — Two milestones were reached by major musical talents last week — one a veteran pop star, the other a rising force on the metal scene. Pete Cetera announced he was leaving Chicago to pursue a solo music and acting career. The 18-year group veteran, who has been the primary lead vocalist in Chicago for many years now, will record for Warner Bros, and collaborate with David Foster, the star producer who was instrumental in the group’s comeback. Cetera will also write a song for Rocky IV and another (with Foster) for Julio Iglesias. Cetera’s departure is only the second major crisis to hit the group in its long history. Chicago eventually recovered from the accidental shooting death of guitarist and singer Terry Kath, but Cetera has become the exclusive singles

voice of the group in recent years. It remains to be seen how Bobby Lamm and company will respond to what many saw as an inevitable develop- ment (Cetera has already recorded one

unsuccessful solo album) . . . And

Arrington FM still ably serves the north Texas area in a market made fiercely competitive Kool & The Gang New Jersey Mass Choir by the rise of younger powerhouse KKDA-FM (104). New program director Kelly Con Funk Shun McCann says, “We’re full stream urban,” making the station another that is reading The Ballards beyond the label “black” for a mass audience. S. Lattisaw WCIN - Cincinnati — Sid Kennedy — McCann is excited about new talent he is lining up for the station. “We’ve just D. Edwards PD hired one of the premier night talents in the country, a very well-kept secret, a G. Jones Con Funk Shun guy named Woody Wood. He came out of Oklahoma City. He worked under Driscoll T. Turner P. Bryson at KITE in Corpus Christi and then went to KG-103 in Oklahoma City and just The Reddings C. Khan did phenomenal things at night. So we’re gonna go full nights with personality Orphan T. Turner and the whole party bit. It’s going to be a very unique night show that isn’t only going to concentrate on how many records you can play a night or whether you’re URBAN PROGRAMMER’S PICK playing the right amount of scratch music or if you’re playing too much techno- funk. You’ll see a lot of the jock in consideration because nobody's doing anything Programmer Station Market at night.” As for promotions, McCann says, “We do one that seems to work and it’s good Mike Kelly KAPE-AM San Antonio, TX maintenance and it keeps the right kind of sizzle. We’re doing Instant Hi-Lo. You get 10 seconds to guess the amount, and the amount stays the same until it’s Song: “All of Me For All of You' won. We do that in the daytime and the standard album riffs. We get involved Artist: 9.9 in concerts and stuff.” McCann says the difference in a “black” and an “urban” station boils down to Label: RCA attitude. “We happen to play black music, as opposed to 'We’re a black station, ” Comments: for the blacks,’ he says. “If you categorize yourself as for blacks . . . that’s fine

but remember you’re running a radio station . . . blacks will it’s a black station, "9.9 is requested in all dayparts by the mid-teen demos. According to our in-house know

and whites will say 'It’s a funky station,’ or 'It’s a station that plays what I like research the album is really kicking in. being that it was Just shipped. I'm playing two to’ they it it isn’t LP cuts, “Feel The Fire" and “Little Bitty Woman" which are also being requested. Richard to dance and don’t really perceive as a black station because blatantly targeted as such.” “Dimples" Fields really outdid himself on this one. Another record that / just received. KNOK is owned by E.G.G.-Dallas Broadcasting. E.G.G. is Earl Graves, who “Stand Up" by Howard Johnson is really going to go over well in this market. " Another G. “I if there’s or three project that Kelly mentioned that had Top Five potential was Aretha Franklin's. "Freeway owns Black Enterprise Magazine. As McCann says, doubt two of Love. others that are black-owned and black-programmed in a Top 10 market.”

McPherson noted that the possibilities here are virtually endless with the capacity for 648,000 individual letters (or the equivalent of approximately 518 double-spaced, typewritten pages) being stored in a one-hour presentation. A CD player equipped with the appropriate kind of subcoding device (sure to become a standard accessory in the near future) would be able to carry visual information which complements a given audio offering; for example, pictures of the artists and/or composers being listened to, biographies, liner notes, song lyrics, librettos, and discographies. Such material would more than compensate for the downsizing of paper inserts necessitated by the use of miniature packages such as the jewel box. It’s possible, of course, that the video subcode would be completely unrelated to the audio track; in other words, one might receive two programs for the price of one. While many of these developments parallel advances made in the laser disc and computer software fields, the likelihood that most homes will have a CD player within five years underscores the viability of continued experimentation along these — and related — lines.
