Following a personal visit to the plant by RCA UK managing director Don Ellis, the employees decided to accept redundancy payments as part of what an RCA spokesman has described as an "amicable" settlement. The factory has already ceased operation — ahead of the June 12 deadline originally set by the company — and current pressing requirements are being handled by Thorn EMI. RCA discussed future pressing arrangements with both PolyGram and CBS, but has now agreed a long term contract with Thorn EMI.

A brilliant two-page advertisement in the New York Times and the Los Angeles Times, among others, has a first page which reads: "The story of the video disc (with a drawing of such a 2^1 disc). It's a rather short one. The video disc player can play back pre- recorded programming. The end." The second page offers The Talc Of The Video Tape, which is a full page of copy with a cartoon rendering of a Betamax at the bottom. "Even what the video disc docs, the Betamax outdoes", reads the copy, "because when you want to play back pre-recorded sfci- entertainment, you get over 15,000 titles to choose from on the Betamax. The video disc player offers barely a couple of hundred". The headline on the finance news pages is: "Video disc sales have mixed start," says RCA marketing VP Jack Saulcr. "We have never indicated there would be a landslide reaction." A Seattle dealer, asked about initial consumer reaction to the RCA system, responded: "It's fairly humorous, you might say." HOTTEST MUSIC video topic of the moment is what will the impact be of the 24-hour Warner-AmEx cable music channel. Set for a cable TV bow this August, the company expects to get the majority of its 0 programming supplied free by record companies. The questions most asked were: Is there sufficient material available to Warner-AmEx to keep a 24-hour service interesting? Will the tight format that works so well for radio in this country work with video? Are the record companies willing to meet the demand for a constant supply of new clips? Will everything be tailor-made for Warner- AmEx, or will manufacturers find themselves in the same situation they're in with records, producing new material only to have most of it iijmn to—: • •• rejected by the station? Finally, assuming the record companies decide to meet cable needs, will this material be in cassette or disc form? And, assuming the best and worst of all possible worlds, will kids then be demanding VCR access for home taping, thus encouraging families that might have been hesitant in purchasing machines to do so? By IRA MAYER ALTHOUGH 1 haven't seen the report itself yet, Knowledge Industry Publications' Home Video & Broadcasting, The Fight For Position 1981-86 sounds like a comprehensive overview of the US video market, for hardware and software as well as for cable and satellite.
