Comes Up With A Colorful Idea We like a radio station whose management has a sense of humor. Perhaps that quality helps to explain the success of "The Official KZ Country Coloring Book," which WJKZ -WNKZ -FM originally presented to its advertisers in Nash- ville as a Christmas present and is now giving away to listeners as part of a bumper sticker promotion. KZ Country morning man Don Keith, who doubles as national pro- gram director for the Mack Sanders group, reports that the 15 -page col- oring book, which features pen and ink drawings of the station's staff, is now in its third print run, surpassing 5,000 copies. "We stole the concept from the sales brochure that came INTRODUCING KHTR our way and adapted it to various people at the station," he explains. The unshaven news director, for HITRADIO, example, is slumped at his desk, which is cluttered with coffee cups. BRINGING THE HITS TO The "creative copywriter" is wearing an ascot, a beret and sunglasses, while the "sales meeting" depicts a ST. LOUIS! torture scene of whips and chains. Keith, who developed the charac- terizations with Mack general man- ager Tom Weaver, knows how to poke fun at himself, too. He's shown standing next to the backside of a horse, accompanied by the caption, "One of these is our program direc- tor." A second sketch shows a circus clown at the mike with the tag, "This is our morning man. He thinks he's funny." Listeners have been invited to color the books for the monthly prize of a KZ Country satin jacket, but Keith says that the entries are com- ing in slowly. "It takes a while to color the sucker," he notes. * * * WRKS -FM's "Stay In School" promotion is off to a promising start in New York.

And when you've run out of packaging the few popular artists we have, pay -TV can only turn to the higher arts, which are al- ready massively subsidized because they're not patronized by the public. In six months, it'll be a case of choosing between Richard Pryor, say, and the Canadian Opera. Who would you EDDIE SCHWARTZ watch ?" You have to look no further than the response implicit in the fact that of the real, serious, moneyed contenders who were in the bidding for licenses when domestic rights for pay -TV were first announced, fewer than half were still interested after the CRTC made its regulations public, Bennett continues. The only salvation for the embryonic Canadian pay -TV, To- ronto promoter Gary Cormier of Cormier -Topp believes, is the removal of government controls. "Open it up," he suggests, "allow it to reflect contemporary Canadian lives and interests. Make room for independent producers -trim the fat and re- allocate union -burdened budgets to allow for genuinely new PETER PRINGLE ideas to surface." Cormier and Topp, who have emerged in recent years as Canada's most radical promoters, almost single -handedly providing access to new dimensions in music entertainment via British and American new wave artists, acknowledge the need to broaden their own activities, while continuing to serve a younger demographic group than do their colleagues -a group weaned on new forms of mass communication and new technologies. So where will Canadians spend their entertainment dollars in the year to come? The consensus is live music will still draw more of them than will other media, the burgeoning fascina- tion with forms of home video (pay -TV included) notwith- standing.

CANADA

Canadian radio service is arguably among the best in the world. On the one hand there is the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. which offers French and English service on AM and FM; their format encompassing everything from in -depth news coverage of world and national events to drama, jazz, classical and pop coverage. One can argue that the magazine format the network has adopted is all over the place, but so is the population and by and large the service is as original as anything one might find in other major Western countries. On the other side of the coin is private radio in Canada, with approximately 350 AM stations and another 100 -plus FMs. Recognizing that programmers in this country are highly regu- lated is important because it is the cornerstone to under- standing why Canadian radio is so different to that heard in the U.S., even though one may still hear many of the U.S. chart hit records on the air. Over the past 10 years the Canadian Radio, Television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) has become an in- creasingly vigilant and single- minded watchdog of Canada's airwaves and airspace. Explaining its modus operandi in deci- sion making in its annual report, chairman of the Commis- sion, John Meisel writes: We have always tempered the de- Top left: Saga's Michael Sadler and Maze Records' Bottom left: Q -107 Toronto's Gary Slaight, left; sire for economic prosperity with a broad, public concern for Petra Schweitzer (Photo by Joness Bowie(.

On the optimistic side, interest rates have come down sig- nificantly, but most executives say restraint will be exercised until a real turnaround is evident. The turnaround is not dependent entirely on the consumer letting go of the savings book and returning to the stores to buy more records and tapes. Music publishers in Canada con- tinue to survive in spite of legislation that limits their collec- tion to a mechanical fee of two cents per track as set out in the Copyright Act of 1924 and to this day unrevised. Although the federal government has acknowledged the plight of the publisher and, more importantly, the creators, it has chosen not to make ad hoc alterations to the existing Act, preferring to revise it in its entirety. The first study to be published on copyright was back in 1974 dealing with trademark law, then on patent law in 1976.

But new legislation is a lot further away than summer is to THE RECORD Canada right now. Thus the outlook for this new year was not bright when Al Mair, president of Attic Records and the Ca- nadian Musical Reproduction Rights Agency, tabled the collec- tion agency's annual report last year. "Except in the financial year 1980 -81, mechanical royalty collections have increased each year, with an 11.8% increase The Canadian Music Industry in 1980 -81 and a further 3% increase in 1981 -82. However, this positive performance is unlikely to continue in the current Trade Source year as CMRRA experiences the deadening effects of the eco- nomic recession, home taping, counterfeiting and piracy on record sales, and decreases in mechanical royalty payments have been projected for the coming year." In terms of performance income, the combined total of Send for your sample LUt PUER earnings as reported by CAPAC and the Performing Rights Or- ganziation of Canada (PRO) for 1981 was $40.2 million or copy now $24.4 million and $15.8 million respectively.
