SCRIBO ERGO SUM: In recent years programmershave left radio for jobs in the record business (Neilis only the latest), acting (Jay Thomas), and even cable television (Bob Pittman), not tomention all those who have left to become statistics. But SteveMarshall, a radio veteran best known as the program director of CBS's KNX-FM in Los Angeles, has apparently found a new niche, goingfrom pro- gramming radio to dramatizing it as a story editor for "WKRP inCin- cinnati." Marshall pioneered "the mellow sound" at KNX, winning consistently high ratings in perhaps the nation's most unstable radio

market, but found that "in 12 years I had pretty much done every-

thing I wanted to do in radio . . . I miss the people I worked with,

but I don't miss the work that much." Marshall had done some writing in college, and tried to find work as an actor following graduation; radio was atfirst simply a stopgap, a way to make a living while waitingfor an acting break. When "WKRP" debuted on CBS -TV last year, Marshall began working on a script for the show, which he submitted "on spec" to MTMProduc- tions. Hugh Wilson, executive producer for the series, called Mar- shallin to work on a rewrite as a free-lancer, which also served, without Marshall's knowledge, as his audition as a staff writer. He joined the show full-time in June. (Continued on page 19) "Can 1 at least keep the suit ..?" RECORD WORLD JANUARY 12, 1980 12

AmericanRadioHistory.Com Record World LL l/ LL tLL-LO L LL-Li Germany Frankfurters By JIM SAMPSON MUNICH-In a setback for German record companies, Germany's high court has referred to the European Community court jurisdiction over the legality of both EEC and third country imports into West Ger- many. The decision to waive jurisdiction on EEC imports had been expected, but German lawyers had hoped that the high court would let stand lower court rulings barring import of recorded product into Germany from nations such as the United States, Canada and New Zealand which are not part of the European Economic Community. Copies of the court's decision, which was announced just before Christmas, have not yet circulated widely, but itis believed that Ger- man record companies will continue to fight third nation imports in court, based on the lower court judgements. A final verdict from the European Court is not expected before late 1981.

Bliersbach was quoted as saying, "We establish a new record com- pany in order to enlarge Polygram's share in the Japanese market. Polygram's other two affiliates in Japan are Nippon Phonogram and Polydor, in a positive sense, they are rival companies of Polystar. We feel that competition is healthy, and that it stimulates good results." The Alice, one of the most popular Japanese groups, belongs to Young Japan. Concern for the Alice has been rising since the director of the Alice, Masatoshi Hashiba, has been informally designated as the head of the productions department at Polystar. There is specula- tion that the Alice might transfer from Toshiba EMI to Polystar after their contract with Toshiba EMI expires. Their first records are scheduled to be released in Feb. or March of '80. Polystar has acquired the rights to the Casablanca label but won't be able to release any records under this name until April '80. It will, meanwhile, first release only one Japanese single and one LP record until that time. Records will be manufactured by Phonodisc. The dis- tributor is yet to be decided, but there is a strong possibility that Nip- pon Phonogram would be the one. Sales target for the first year is expected to be between two billion and three billion yen. The long and much awaited Paul McCartney & Wings visit to Japan has been decided at last. On Dec. 11 UDO formally announced the schedule at the Akasaka Tokyo Hotel, Tokyo. The performances are scheduled to be held at Nippon Budokan Hall from Jan. 21-24, 31, Feb. 1 and 2 in Tokyo, Jan. 25 and 26 in Nagoya, and 28 and 29 in A&M Records Canada ran an in-house merchandising contestfor thePindoff Record Sales reps who service Eaton's and Simpson's, Canada's largest department stores, for Osaka. the best in-store merchandising featuring Supertramp product and P.O.P. materials.
