In Music The AOR station appeared to be The Biggest Success Stories making headway against its more powerful FM Los Angeles counter- parts. Are The Best Concerts On Radio! But its AM sister, KEZY, is quite another matter. The AM rocker fell to a 1.1 from a 1.8 last spring. That is nearly a 50% drop in audience over the last two years. So Forman, while happily en- sconced in the ranks of successful FM AOR programmers, is facing a crisis common to his AM rock pro- gramming counterparts: He won- ders if the era of AM rockers has passed.

KROQ- FM, which programs new wave rock, even outscored KEZY -FM in its own market with a 3.2. Forman has done a great deal of successful promotion for his FM, but he echoes the plaintive cry of suburban programmers everywhere: "KMET can come in and dump more billboards in our backyard than we can during a ratings pe- riod." PRESENTS Signal strength is another major problem. Forman calls KEZY's wat- tage "a peashooter signal that we're 'surprised even gets into our own building."

Digital could have an unlimited future. Marketplace forces will ultimately decide digital's future. The advan- tages of digital are not immune to the classic laws of supply and de- mand. Analog disks will co -exist in the marketplace especially if an analog disk remains an under $10 investment, while the digital disk sells for over the $10 price point. Similarly, unless the potentials for manufacturing economies shown in laboratories in Japan are translated to the mass market product, the price of the digital audio disk player will not be as low as most analog record players. Advances in lasers, pick -up diodes, semi- conductor motors and manufacturing techniques could lower digital audio player prices to the $200 -$300 price range. Digital disk appears to be a viable format in the long term, but digital mastering on tape may not be. Once digital is accepted, the advances in computer technology coming from manufacturers such as Hewlett - Packard and IBM will provide new tools for editing and even recording. Soundstream is already editing within mass computer memory. As the price of computer random access chips drops below $10 for nearly 100,000 units of computer memory. the time draws closer where 30 min- utes of digital audio recording can be placed into a portable computer audio memory. So the future of audio seems to be intertwined with the future of digital audio. Also, if the progress in digital television continues, the common- Combo Products ality of potentials for digital video with digital audio will provide a shot in the arm for commercial and tele- THE WAY IT WILL BE. YAMAHA vision production. It might also be the right time for the home audio, professional studio, and record industry to combine forces and place digital audio, at af- fordable prices, into the consumer marketplace. Concerns about lack of standards, too low sampling rates, or royalties are important: but it is more important to consider the mass market. www.americanradiohistory.com 39 Pro Equipment & Services
