The Russians have a habit of disconnecting the phone line if there is no audio on them. so ABC decided to run WABC programming on the line. The programming became so popular among those hearing it that the word spread fast, and dedications and requests were called in from Moscow. According to WABC's Rick Sklar the station is having their "$25,000 Buttons" made up in Russian and they'll ship them over for distribu- tion. Apparently the sensation of hearing American commercial radio was tremendous. Bootleg tapes of WABÇ, made from the control room at Soyuz were in demand. WABCYhad a translator from Columbia University work up the dedications and one liners. as New York and Moscow were treated to the most listened to rock station in our nation, (and in Russia) HENNES IS BACK IN ACTION Bill Hennes has announced he accepted the PD position at WNDE /Indianapolis.

AOR Radio [ALBUM ORIENTED ROCK]

Mike Harrison

The next time a record company executive tells you that he does "FM Promotion ", ask him if he sells FM radios or if he promotes records to Classical, Religious, Top 40, and Back- ground Music radio stations. At one time, their were two types of commercial radio stations: real ones and FM ones. I recall back in the 60's, when I was breaking into FM radio, people would say things like, "I don't listen to your station because you need a special radio to pick it up." It was the second class standing of FM however that gave the original pioneers of the Progressive Rock format the opportunity to get the ball rolling because, hell, there wasn't much to lose. Nevertheless, that's all just history. Unfortunately, in spite of the fact that it's 1975 and the commercial bands have become both equal and integrated, and the bastard child format of the late 60's has become a dominant force to be reckoned with, a great number of people in our The Pointer Sisters recently dropped by KMET -FM, Los Angeles.

Frizzell, who was 47 at the time of his death last Saturday, was born William Orville Frizzell and was given the name "Lefty" because of his southpaw boxing knockouts while a teenager and while in the Navy. He was originally from Corsicana, Texas. In 1950 his first release on Columbia records, "If You've Got The Money, I've Got The Time" and "I Love You A Thousand Ways," both became number one hits. And in 1952 he had four songs in the top 10 at one time. No other country artist has ever equalled that feat. The songs were "Mom and Dad Waltz," "I Love You A Thousand Ways," "Always Late," and "Travelin' Blues." To my mind he was one of the greatest blues singers in the world and will be missed. BOB PITTMAN has just been appointed Operations Manager of WMAQ in Chicago. Bob told me he'll continue to supervise the music of WMAQ, but will be more involved with the promotions for on- the -air use, as well as production. For the time being, he'll remain on the air in the afternoon slot, 3-6 p.m...ED CHANDLER of KSON, San Diego was just named the Operations Manager of that country outlet in Southern California.
