This news comes on the heels of the company’s move from it's original London base to New York. Special effects specialist Colin Chilvers has been swept into the group as its first commercial director. Chilvers won both the American and British Academy Awards for his special effects direction of the first Superman movie in 1979, not to mention the 16 other major feature films on which he has lent his special effects expertise ...

KABC TALKS — It started with the KABC Talkradio Card, which gave Los Angeles listeners the opportunity to receive discounts at various locations around the city. We then learned that the station would use these cardholders to guarantee the circulation of the premiere issue of KABC’s newest undertaking, a 56-page, full color, glossy magazine called Let’s Talk. No small task, the station found out,

as it set out to recruit advertisers and subscribers. Well the first issue has just

been released and as far as the advertising goes, it appears that KABC has triumphed. It’s slick, colorful and full of features written by the air personalities themselves. From articles on religion by Dennis Prager to a piece entitled "Incest: Acknowledging The Epidemic,” by Dr. Susan Forward the magazine is stocked full of commentary, pictures and self- accolades. It’s a 56-page commercial put in an effective, entertaining format. Remember the first issue was free to

cardholders but from here on it will cost subscribers $15 for one year. The cover price is marked as $2 per issue. KABC has proved it can get the advertisers as well as put out a quality publication, now how many people will subscribe? Only time will tell.

QUEST FOR THE GOLD — Last year Lillo Thomas had two goals in mind. A world-class sprinter in high school, he decided to seize the opportunity of an upcoming Olympic year and resume his dormant track career, a career interrupted by a commitment to his music. Thomas might have become the first celebrity with a gold record and a gold medal. An auto accident in Brazil cut short the PURPLE RAIN 38 BE A WINNER ambitious plan, but the gold record is still a distinct possibility.
