Of those three out- A SPECIAL lets-KKGO Los Angeles, KJAZ BILLBOARD San Francisco, ANALYSIS and WJZZ De- troit -the latter has the biggest share of its market with a 2.6 share of 12 -plus listeners in Motor City (per the winter Arbitrons). That sta- tistic only reflects a small percent- age of the exposure opportunities for jazz on commercial radio. The genre has surely benefited from the simple fact that radio grows more competitive every day. The most intense fights in any mar- ket are usually fought over the de- mographic every advertiser loves: adults. That reality has motivated many programmers shooting for mass appeal to bring jazz cuts into their mainstream mix, either in spe- cial program blocks or as "spice" el- ements in regular playlists. Also, the growing popularity of quiet storm shows and /or stations and the more recent influx of new age shows and /or stations has also done much to expose jazz to mainstream radio audiences. The prospects for jazz on com- mercial radio "have never been bet- ter," says Dr. Jazz of the Detroit- based indie promotion firm Dr. Jazz Operations.

LORIMAR SCRAPS KLV -TV (Continued from page 49) Still, even against a backdrop of compact disk video, Super -VHS, and digital audiotape, prerecorded video suppliers managed to make news at CES. Among the most notable devel- opments was the decision by Lorimar Home Video to drop one of the most HBO VIDEO 1987 aggressive sell- through efforts ever introduced in home video, KLV -TV. Lorimar, a company that has re- cently been rocked by sweeping changes in its top management ranks, had been evaluating the effec- tiveness of KLV -TV over the past few months and said it would quietly retreat from the program. The com- pany publicized its decision during a press conference held to announce BRUCE Gottlieb's appointment as president WILLIS. and CEO of home video concern. Launched with much fanfare at the 1986 Video Software Dealers Assn. convention, KLV-TV was designed to position videocassettes as an alterna- HIS ROCK WILL tive to television programs.

"We realized around Christmas that there was confusion in the mar- ketplace as to what KLV -TV was supposed to do. Then, when Jerry BRUCE WILLIS: [Gottlieb] came on board, we decid- ed to discontinue the program," said Jeff Jenest, senior vice president of THE RETURN OF BRUNO marketing. "Since [KLV -TV] was promoting up the entire concept of sell- through we felt we were bene- fiting disproportionately." Since sell- through product domi- nates the home video presence at CES, Goodtimes Home Video pulled the wraps off a sell- through pro- gram that had been in the works for months. Twenty titles from MCA Home Video's catalog -including some that originally sold for a $79.95 list price -will be marketed by the sell- though specialist for un- der $15. "These are the strongest titles that have ever been available at this price point," said Jeff Baker, vice president of Goodtimes. "It also es- tablishes a new price point for the- atrical titles."

"Most dealers seemed to like it," he says, but adds changes are in or- der before such a product can be brought to market. Meyer says the 3 -inch LCD TV of the original may be replaced with a Earn healthy prots 4- or 5 -inch screen, and the overall size of the boom -boxlike deck may be decreased. with Jane Both companies also realize that with sensitive video heads, the units need be extremely durable to Video Fitness Library. weather the rigors of portable use. What neither company has ad- dressed (publicly) yet is price. Meltzer agrees that for the product to catch on in the mainstream it has to sell for around $500, though he says there is interest from catalog- ers such as Sharper Image to carry it at a higher price. Still, considering that two portable 8mm products Sony released in conjunction with the combination piece cost from $900 to $1,700, it may take some do- ing. Canon was reluctant even to mention what its portable video deck might sell for. Companies that market VHS decks, meanwhile, are eyeing the de- velopments with measured curiosity. JVC, which is marketing a pocket TV that includes an AM /FM stereo and t an audiocassette player (but no video deck) in Japan, would seem an ideal candidate to introduce a compact VHS personal unit. But Don Barclay, national sales manager for portables, says he has received no word of such a development, though it may be go- 4 ing on at the factory level. He says the huge base of VHS VCRs and the growing popularity of compact VHS make a portable attractive. Products that combine a full -size VHS deck (usually a player) and a small- screen TV have been around for a year or two, but most have ap- pealed to industrial training markets more than to consumers because of their size and because most plug into wall outlets only.

As it has during the whole of that period, it still sets an example for generations of musicians throughout the world. `No other country has been so prolific as Britain in supplying and dereloping new talent -and, in the process, creating dominant trends in both music and fashion, from the Swinging '60s, through punk to the new romantic era. The larger, well - established record companies, as well as the smaller creative production units, hare been equally influential in achieving these successes. `Our leading market position in West Germany has to a large measure been achieved by the input from such British labels as Virgin, PRT, Chrysalis, Island, Arista and ZTT.
