Records U.K., has expressed frus- tration with the failure of the major labels and the concert industry to work together. "The relationship with live music has broken down," Conroy told ILMC delegates. "Contact with people like yourselves has fallen." Conroy believes smaller, inde- pendent music companies can work better with their counter- parts in the live sector. Since leav- ing Virgin, he has launched Adventures in Music as an in- dependent recording, publishing and artist management company. "We're going back to little cottage industries that can build up r artists," he says. Bands can often sustain a career .. through touring after record sales 4k14(114,, fall. One example is long -established British folk -punk band the Levellers. The group first made headlines with its surprising popularity at the 1992 , traditionally the preserve of mainstream rock acts. The band remains a consistent- ly strong draw on the European con- cert and festival circuit. If the Levellers had relied on con- tinuing record -company support, manager Phil Nelson says, "I doubt they would still be here today. They have a larger live fan base than [record- ed- music] fans." AmericanAirlines One concert promoter longing for a stronger, more productive rela- tionship with labels is Michael Bisp- ing, managing director of ASS Con- cert and Promotion in Hamburg. He offers the example of how coop- eration between his company and Virgin Records Germany helped make a small act called Vivid into a chart -topper. "We had our first meeting nine months before the release of Vivid's first album, with every discussion involving the label, the publisher, the manager and the promoter," Bisping recalls. "Within 14 months, the band had 110 performances in Germany. By the time the first album came out, it sold 80,000 units straight away." But when Vivid's second album arrived, Bisping's contact at Virgin was no longer working with the band, and his successor wasn't interested in col- laborating with the promoter. "The labels think, `We're paying the money; it's our album, our act.' They don't see how the right plan with the right live festivals can make an act." showplace Amid declining music sales :4mericanAirlinesArena Miami's ul;imlate sports and entertainment worldwide, he argues, label execu- For booking information :,ortactEris Bresler by phone (786)777-1122, fax (786)777 -1600 tives cannot afford to forget that live gigs, especially the music festivals in or e -mail ebresler @heat.com.

"The timing of that festival hap- pens to be in the middle of the tour," says Eric Leddel, VP of marketing for Motown and Island Def Jam at Uni- versal Music International. But the record company saw that as an advantage. "There are a lot of media people at the festivals, so you can do a lot of the [promotional] interviews in one day," says Dante Bonutto, UMI internation- al marketing and A&R consultant.

"It's forcing some in the hip -hop busi- ness to possibly do shows with no insurance." In other cases, Casey says that promoters use unreliable insurance sources that would make it "virtu- ally impossible to collect" in the case of a claim. The insurance business in gener- al is under siege.

Beyond terrorist concerns, Theatre Group high -profile club tragedies in Chicago, where 21 people were trampled at a hip -hop club, and Rhode Island, where 100 concert- goers died in a fast -moving fire at LAST YEAR OUR THEATRES HAD a Great White show, have added to insurers' caution.

"We've seen more programs stop writing [concert insurance] than we've seen enter the market," he says. "That creates a supply -and- demand issue, so pricing is going up, and insurers are cutting some coverage."

booked by veteran urban agent Cara Lewis, senior VP at the Wil- liam Morris Agency. Lewis recognizes that others have had a problem with insur- ing rap tours. "I'm told that many insurance carriers have rap exclusions, but with the promot- ers I'm working with, we haven't run into that," she says. "We ran T H N G into one situation, and it worked itself out." Lewis says the promoters she is working with on Rock the Mic, including Clear Channel Enter- tainment, House of Blues and regional independents, have rap coverage "grandfathered " into their policies. She admits that "if it's a new policy, a new promoter, it might be tough [to get liability insurance on a rap tour]. In that situation, you just partner two promoters together." Casey confirms that when it comes to rap shows, "if you're try- ing to buy a new policy, it's damn - near impossible."

PICKING ON RAP? But why should hip -hop pro- moters have to jump through such hoops in the first place? THE HOUSTON ARENA Casey thinks rap is, well, getting a bad rap. Houston's premier sports and entertainment "If someone chose to go out and sing instead of speak their lyrics, venue opens in September 2003 they could get around this exclu- sion," he says. "Take Usher and 4th largest market in the Jay -Z or Nelly. They're about the same age, they have the same Home of the NBA Houston Rockets and WNBA Comets audience, etc., but Usher sings, so he is insurable." Flexible seating configurations accommodate up to 19,000 patrons If rap concerts are tougher to insure, some feel the genre has only 2, 500 car dedicated parking garage itself to blame for cultivating an image of thuggery. 10,000+ parking spaces within just a few blocks So, are rap concerts actually a greater liability risk, or is it just a perception problem? According 120,000 lb. end -stage and 100,000 lb. center-stage rigging load capacities to Chippendale, it is likely "a little of both."

Again, Casey takes exception. "Where are the claims? Where are the problems? I would bet any one of these insurance companies that if you go city by city, build- ing by building, the number of fights and injuries at NHL and [World Wrestling Federation] events is significantly greater in terms of numbers of incidents," he says. "Where is the NHL or WWF exclusion ?" Chippendale says caution is not limited to rap tours, and there is no discrimination against hip -hop artists. "These companies deal in facts. They look at the history of an event, the history of the artist, and the history of the concert, tour or festival. If an artist is going on tour, they look at what happened last time they toured. And if there were 16 occurrences at 15 venues, they'll probably pass. It doesn't matter if it's rap or heavy metal. They look at Korn just as hard as DMX." Sometimes there is no history. "The flip side of this is, for many, many years, rap and hip -hop artists never really purchased insurance. So if there is no history, [insurers] don't have any means of judging it. I imagine they may weigh $100,000 in premiums against the chance of paying $500,000 in a claim." Still, insurers have other ways of weighing risk. "They search the Internet and databases for occur- rences or even police response at a concert," Chippendale notes. "They absolutely do their homework on all the youth- oriented, harder stuff, including heavy metal and harder alternative music." rrr r dii dIJVUI Casey wants to see the figures.

From a venue perspective, build- ing managers have to be covered, above and beyond their own pricey general liability. "With us, [concert liability] is a promoter issue; they have to provide proof of insurance," says Peter Luukko, president of Comcast -Spectacor Ventures and chairman of Global Spectrum, which runs the First Union Center and First Union Spectrum in Philadelphia. "Frankly, we haven't had any issues with rap in years." Philips Arena president Bob Williams, based in Atlanta, says, "If they can't produce a good certifi- cate of insurance, we don't open ."

For example, a national pro- moter may pay as little as half per admission of what a local promoter Sizzle to might pay. Those national promoters with affiliates in the trenches on a local level are less affected by the insur- ance market.

I started when I was in high school, working after school e in my father's recording studio and advertising agency in r es New York. My father started as a radio announcer, and he worked his way up to programming director and then sta- tion manager. Of course, I was a child, but I grew up in that rr environment: My dad coming home at night with a bunch rr- of records under his arm. He would be listening to records until the early morning. As I became older in high school, I started helping him. rri- Was it a thrill to turn on the radio and hear his voice? rir Oh yes. For me it was a very exciting industry. I was always listening to the radio station. I remember in the '60s, his sta- tion had a promotion in Palisades Amusement Park in New rrr- rr rr-1 Jersey, just across the George Washington Bridge, and they would do a radio broadcast from the amusement park. I met all his colleagues and the music people and the artists. All of rir rir that of course affected me. I grew to like it. I grew to love it.

www.americanradiohistory.com Special Report S B S 2 0 T H A N N I V E R S A R Y SBS Entertainment Takes Its Show On The Road Division Stages Concerts In The Seven Markets Where Company Has Stations

MIAMI-The latest venture of Spanish Broadcasting System is an entertainment division, created to present concerts in the seven markets in which the company has stations. The concerts will help promote those stations in their markets and raise their profile within the wider music, broadcasting and advertising industries. John Sepulveda, a veteran artist manager /concert promoter, is GM of SBS Entertainment, which launched last year with con- certs featuring Juan Luis Guerra and Ricardo Montaner. Sepul- veda does not have his own production staff; instead, he presents the shows in partnership with concert promoters Felix Cabrera and Ralph Mercado. "That's what we're going after," Sepulveda says. "Big events that, with full promotional support from the radio stations, will be successful." SBS stations still hold their own local radio festivals, featuring dozens of artists in the company's seven markets: New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Miami, San Francisco, San Antonio and Puer- to Rico. SBS Entertainment concentrates on select high -profile shows. "We want to put our stamp on these concerts," Sepulveda says. His division aims to present two major events per month. SBS Entertainment staged the June 28 SBS 20th anniversary concert at New York's Madison Square Garden, headlined by . Upcoming SBS concerts include Tega Calderon headlin- ing the El Mega at the Garden Aug. 9, the Fania All Stars headlining a Salsa Festival at the Garden Sept. 6, the Mega 10th Anniversary Concert at New York's Flushing Meadows Park Sept. 21, and the Viva El Merengue show at the MARTIN: HEADLINED SBS 20Th ANNIVERSARY CONCERT Garden Sept. 27 and the Miami Arena Sept. 28.

C. PUERTO RICO SBS dramatically entered the market in 1999, when it acquired 11 radio properties for a reported $90 million. The company became the instant market leader. The island of 4 SIISPANISH BROADCASTING SYSTEM million avid music consumers is important for a variety of symbolic and strategic reasons. "That's the home of salsa," Tanner says. "There are so many genres there. It's a musically demanding place -and they pro- duce big revenues." Soft AC WIOC -FM (Estereo Tempo) is SBS's top -rated outlet on the island, followed by tropical WZMT-FM (La Zeta). Catering to the island's English- speak- ing listeners is top 40 WMEG/WEGM (La Mega). Tanner says Billy Forquet, PD for SBS's Puerto Rico properties, has demonstrated he can keep the company on top. SBS recent- ly proved its long -term commitment to island radio listeners when it opened new offices on the island.

SAN ANTONIO KLEY-FM (La Ley 94.1) serves San Antonio's Spanish -lan- guage listeners with regional Mexican content. The city has a stable Hispanic population that spans several generations. Once a hotbed of the Tejano music popularized by Selena, San Antonio is now home to fans of norteña and banda, Tanner says. SBS's only AM property, WSAH, provides a mostly talk format aimed at Hispanics older than 35, though some tra- ditional Mexican music gets airplay.

SAN FRANCISCO Although San Francisco is not a major Hispanic market, SBS has found a niche for itself here with KPTI (92.7 Party), an English -language station. This foray into the mainstream is a result of the company's philosophy of match- ing formats to the available audience within each station's primary signal range. KPTI's signal covers the core of the Bay Area, including the San Francisco, Oakland and Almeda areas. The station is a special project for Tanner, whose past includes PD stints at highly successful dance stations in Miami and Orlando, Fla. "We have a good listening area, right around the rim of the bay," he says.

more with you... One of the big criticisms that Latin record labels aim at radio is that while new music is played, new music by new artists is conspicuously absent. What is your view? You have hit upon the one topic of discussion I've had for the Your friends at past year with the people in programming departments. That question, of course, is the problem we spoke about before, of research vs. instinct. Broadcaster's General Store Obviously, this is a business. And we have to try to operate it profitably for the benefit of our shareholders. But I think we need to be very careful and we need to have extra consideration, oth- erwise research alone will take you to a stagnated playlist: the old familiar artists and the old familiar songs, over and over again. We have had an ongoing conversation, and I would like to think that in the last year or so, people have picked up at least a little bit of an increased desire on our part to break new artists and new music. I think that is a critical component to the success of Latin music in the U.S. That's the only way the music will evolve. It's a chicken -or -egg thing. If you don't break new music, the companies won't sign new artists. And if you don't have new artists, you won't have audience appeal. I think we have to [play new artists] for the benefit of the industry-or else we'll fall into a spiral.

We already have. Half of Latin sales right now are of com- pilation albums. Yes. And the labels have a legitimate complaint: "If you guys don't play the new music, we won't find it." And that's a very real question in my conversations with the people in the record industry. So that's a concern of mine. And when the recording industry takes a chance on new artists, we have the ong/-atLticltions obligation and responsibility of trying to support that new artist and that new music. We need to have an open ear to all these things- whether you call it gimmick, fad or trend, as Spanish Broadcasting System opposed to being closed and research -driven.

on achieving this very important milestone. How about rap? I think we can include that kind of music on our general Best wishes for continued success. playlist. We're doing it to a certain extent in Puerto Rico. We have done a little bit of that on the West Coast. Here, again, Your friends at Wachovia Bank it involves taking some risk and letting the public be exposed to it. Is there the possibility that this is more than just a fad? Yes, I think it is. Our responsibility is exposing the music and stepping back and letting people react to it.

With regard to advertising dollars in the Hispanic market, how has the rate of growth been in recent years? WACHOVIA Hispanic media [revenue has] multiplied. However, the flip side of that is, I don't believe the Hispanic market has achieved Uncommon Wisdom parity in terms of being able to capture the revenue it really deserves as a function of its listeners. There's still much to be accomplished in terms of advertising revenue. But that again is a positive. You flip it around, and that is the potential for the future. Everyone is pointing to Hispanic media as the future. LEILA COBO
