Forward Thinking We'd argue that radio can reach

more people than print - but the Forward

Association disagrees with us. To preserve

its unique newspaper franchise, it will eventually accept $78 million in ESPN Radio

money and (through an

LMA) turn over its WEVD, New I

York (1050) to Disney /ABC. The current talk format of WEVD, named for American progressive politician Eugene V. Debs, will disappear on August 31, to be replaced by

ESPN Radio Network. The Forward's mission

has been to reach Jewish readers - and

particularly those who don't speak English

through its various newspapers. But M Street

R A D I O

Radio Versus Print notes that Forward has now sold one FM

station and LMA'd out another one. If Forward had chosen to stay in the radio business over theyears, instead of using radio

to subsidize its money- losing print operation it would be a small giant in ethnic radio,

and able to reach any linguistic minority it wanted to. But Forward is committed to print. Now Disney /ABC is finally able to score a

New York -market affiliate for its ESPN brand,

and its money gives it the chance to become

the third sports -talk station in the Big Apple. (We got curious and checked: The "WSPN" calls belong to a non -corn licensed to Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs, NY.

Will ABC execs travel up the Thruway ?)

Playing Scrabble with Arbitron

Or maybe "Word Scramble ", or "Spill 'n' Spell." When you subscribe to Arbitron, you live with the numbers they give

you, using Maximiser or other tools to do a

little re- arranging within a single market. But

there's going to be a whole new game next

year. thanks to Clear Channel's ground- breaking new contract with Arbitron made

possible through what Arbitron calls "regional

See you in New Orleans...

The NAB Radio Show is where policymakers, broadcasters and vendors

get to rub elbows, stroll the French

Quarter, and devour those out -of -this- world "beignets" at Café du Monde. We

hope we'll see you there, September 5 -7. And ifyou can't be there, M Street

will cover it foryou, start to finish.

Fall Forecast: Not just whistling "Dixie" on Capitol Hill Fritz Hollings isn't just whistling

Dixie when it comes to throwing up caution flags over media consolidation, and now that he's boss of the Senate Commerce Committee, and now that the Democrats control the Senate Bush and the Powell FCC

are forced to take the Senate very seriously. There's one effect already: The FCC

apparently won't take up the newspaper-

broadcast cross -ownership ban this Summer.

There are probably other issues Michael Powell would like to move on,

and the Commission's approval

of Tribune's temporary pickup of a TV second station in

Connecticut under the "failed station" rule may shine a light on its intentions. What's

important about the WTTX -TV. Waterbury

case is that Tribune also owns the state's

dominant newspaper, the Hartford Courant. The FCC gave Tribune a 6 -month waiver. to keep WTTX on the air. In a much bigger case, the Powell FCC voted 3 -2 to clear Rupert Murdoch's $5.35B purchase of the

Chris Craft TV group. We should get more

insight into the Commission's thinking in New

Orleans at the NAB.

WASHINGTON THIS WEEK The FCC's 3 -2 Republican -Democratic split shows

up immediately on ownership issues. 3 -2 was the vote when the FCC approved Rupert Murdoch's $5.358 purchase of the Chris Craft TV group. Chairman Powell says in multiple -station, multiple- market transactions. it is common for the

combined entity to create temporary violations of our ownership rules." The New York -market "temporary violation" is the one that really stands out: For the

next 2years, News Corp. will be allowed to own two VHF TV stations plus the New York Post daily newspaper. News Corp. already owns the Post and

Fox affiliate WNYW /Channel 5. The Chris Craft deal

adds UPN affiliate WWOR/Channel 9. Both Democrats on the FCC strongly dissented. Gloria Tristani says the decision "shows the lengths the

Commission will go to avoid standing in the way of media mergers." Newly- seated Democrat Michael Copps says it "stretches the statutes, denies operative

Commission rules. and omits critically important consideration of public interest." The FCC also voted

to allow News Corp. to exceed the 35% national TV cap while the courts review that issue. The D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals will hear arguments on that in

September.

Several applicants appy to be the interim operator of Mike Rice's revoked licenses - including Rice himself. The FCC stripped Rice of licenses in Indiana and Missouri after holding hearings on his prison sentence for having sex with minors and on his alleged misrepresentation to the Commission. Those stations are in a Twilight Zone situation as the FCC takes

applications for interim operators, headed toward an

auction of the licenses and CPs that could takeyears to resolve (given the FCC's problems with FM auctions). Rice has lost literally millions of dollars in assets, and

is now filing to become interim operator, under the former name of "Contemporary Media." His rationale?

He tells M Street that under the FCC's own character

standards. he's now fully entitled to be a licensee, since

his offense occurred over lOyears ago. As it stands, those stations, including WBOW, Terre Haute (640) remain on the air under Rice's temporary management

but not the "interim operator" status he seeks. The FCC continues the "Twilight Zone" situation by treating Rice's stations as new CPs and (apparently) deleting their current calls.

The FCC revokes the licenses of two stations in the Virgin Islands. Administrative Law fudge Richard

Sippel denies Family Broadcasting's Motion for Summary Decision and takes the final step of officially revoking the licenses for WSTX- AM/FM, Christiansted. The Commission found that Family Broadcasting principal Gerard Luz A. fames was operating from an

unauthorized location, and then misrepresented the

situation. James may choose to appeal outside the

FCC, but these stations may be up for auction/ reassignment: WSTX (970) and WSTX -FM (100.3).

They're currently simulcasting calypso music.

A $300,000 "voluntary contribution" by American Tower Systems will clean the record on a list of tower complaints at the Commission, thanks to a

newly -published Consent Decree. The FCC

originally slammed ATS -a spinoff of the onetime American Radio Systems - with $212,000 in fines,

citing problems with tower registration for new and

existing towers, lighting, painting, and ownership changes. But ATC sat down with the Commission and

detailed its proposed "compliance plan ". and now the

FCC is basically accepting that through a consent

decree. That ends the investigation and obliges the FCC to treat the original notices of violation and liability as "null, void and expunged." The consent decree lasts

for 36 months.

The FCC's "red flag" is no longer killing deals.

We've analyzed the outcome of several recent transfer

app filings and concluded that the Mass Media Bureau's

"red flag" designation under the so- called "processing guidelines" doesn't mean much, these days. The red

flag is nearly 3years old, and Chairman Kennard never

presented an underlying policy for it: It simply appeared

one day on the listing of some transfer apps. In practical

terms, the Mass Media Bureau staff pulls the BIA revenues on the relevant radio market, and stamps a

"red flag" if the transfer involves 50% or more revenue

in the hands of one owner, or 70% or more in the hands of two. That's even if the transfer involves an

existing cluster. That "red flag" was enough to stall or even kill deals under Kennard (ask Journal about the delay in getting approval for its Great Empire deal). Today, under Powell - one observer says "It might slow the deal down 30 days, maybe a little longer."

But that's it. The one exception: If the proposed

acquisition draws a petition.

Broadcasters are filing lots of objections against would -be Low Power FMs. We even spotted one "Petition for Immediate Dismissal with Prejudice ", filed against Edgardo Colon's request for a new 88.5 in

Philadelphia. PA. lust guessing, but that's got to be

the University of Pennsylvania's WXPN, also at 88.5 and also licensed to Philadelphia. We don't understand

how the FCC gave that app a second look, much less

published it. M Street is also seeing plenty of informal

objections and formal motions to dismiss.

aggregation" or "national database." It will allow subscribers to play Scrabble with geography and create custom geographies,

across more than one market, or even across

one market and an un -rated area. It's a new

selling tool that Clear Channel's Randy

Michaels thinks will revolutionize the way

radio is sold. Arbitron says it's always been

open to the idea. Of course, this new "game"

won't be easy to open up: M Street notes

that the new regional aggregation approach

will need approval from bodies like the Arbitron Advisory Council and possibly outside groups. too. There are a million methodological details to work out and then

the media buyers will see how they like it.

One thing's for sure: Arbitron will never be

the same.

Citadel - Arbitron's other hold -out group - signs up. Citadel didn't even know that

Arbitron and Clear Channel were at loggerheads, when it began its own tough

negotiations. COO Bob Proffitt tells M Street

"we had some frustrating moments, but we

did come to a fair deal" with Arbitron. Citadel

had a different negotiating situation from

Clear Channel: With Citadel, it WAS all about

the money. Though Citadel, like other Arbitron subscribers, should enjoy the benefits of the "national database"!' regional

aggregation" tool that Clear Channel was able

to extract from Arbitron.

Infinity's Opie & Anthony crusade continues. The hot afternoon duo finally cracks Boston doing afternoons, live, on

modern rock and Stern affiliate WBCN (104.1). We believe there was heavy local

resistance at WBCN, but Opie & Anthony debuted August 7. Meanwhile, the O&A team

is hitting Seattle and Portland on the AM dial.

In Seattle, talk returns to 1090, as KYCW

shelves classic country to pick up Premiere's

Jim Rome (9am- noon), Westwood's Ron & Fez

(noon -3), Opie & Anthony (3 -7pm) and Phil

Hendrie (7- 10pm). It will use the Sporting News Radio Network late nights. For now,

Opie & Anthony will also be heard in

mornings - but we expect that's temporary,

until Twisted Radio host Bob Rivers' non -

compete ends in Seattle. Down in Portland,

Infinity ditches classic country on 970 to do "Extreme Talk ", also aimed atyounger males.

KUPL will pick up calls of KUFO, parallel to

rocker KUFO -FM. The lineup at 970 includes

Don & Mike (9am -Ipm), Opie & Anthony (I- 5). Sports Junkies (5 -8pm) and Ron & Fez (8-

midnight). Meanwhile Bob Rivers (5 -9am) hits

the air immediately in Portland.

Viacom's Bill Figenshu offers advertisers a

$100.000 guarantee that KIKK -FM, Houston

will stay country. His "Dear Advertiser" letter

comes as the station deals with a nasty Spring

Arbitron (3.0 to 1.6) and makes significant changes to both airstaff and playlist. But it's

staying country: Figenshu's personal guarantee

is good to any active advertiser "throughout my tenure as Senior Vice President at Infinity."

On the air, KIKK -FM (95.7) pulls back from its

flirtation with Americana and re- focuses on

mainstream country - particularly country music that "sounds like Texas."

It's a home -run baseball book so far. The

Spring Arbitrons seem to be showing surprisingly strong listening for play -by -play

on the radio - Just ask KIRO, home of Ichiro and the Seattle Mariners. Entercom's KIRO

blasted an amazing 5.0 to 9.7 between Winter and Spring - nearly a 100% jump because of the Mariners. In the tough New York market,

the Yanks helped WABC pick up a full share.

One researcher notes that Arbitron's People

Meter may be very, very good to baseball - diarykeepers don't always associate the station with the game when they fill out their radio

listening. That could partially explain why

nighttime and weekend listening was up in the

Spring People Meter test in Wilmington. DE - Panel members were listening to the Phillies

play -by -play.

John Hogan becomes President/COO of Clear Channel Radio. Chief Operating Officer, working with CEO Randy Michaels, is

the job vacated by Kenny O'Keefe at the end of the second quarter. John Hogan is currently a

Senior VP based in Atlanta. He and Clear

Channel Radio CEO Randy Michaels have

worked together since the Jacor days - for more than IS years. Also at Clear Channel

Radio, Jerry Kersting is CC's new Chief Financial Officer. Kersting's the "dealmaker"

who handled the nuts and bolts of last year's

divestitures from the AMFM Inc. merger.

Infinity's backing a collective contest for non -Infinity stations in non -Infinity markets. Yes, it's an unusual- sounding deal

for Infinity, coming out of Columbus. OH. That's where Infinity's GM Dave Robbins is

working with Columbus -based The Positioning Works and Don Hallett. Collective contesting generates larger prizes

because it ties together multiple stations (which must make the required on -air legal

disclosures). Hallett's been involved in

strategizing previous collective contest promos. Reach Hallett at (866) Radio -25.

Participation is on a first -come basis for what

may be the first independent collective contesting initiative.

Music Buddha's "Song Sonar" joins the online music -testing fray. Current vendors

like RateTheMusic promise to capture the

rapidly- changing tastes of PI listeners, and

are typically offered as a link off of the station's

website. Music Buddha's Song Sonar has

three "modules ": Sonic Response. Add - Worthy, and Imager (which shows songs that are the station's current "image" songs by

daypart). The service offers live, real -time data, to monitor how listener response changes whileyou're making adjustments to the playlist. More at "www.MusicBuddha.com."

Jones adds two country shows and subtracts one. Iones debuts a new 7- night- a -week overnight country show. starring lohn

Hendricks, which nicely dovetails with (though doesn't require) the "Lia" show that

clears 7- midnight. Meanwhile. Jones is

dropping the weekly syndicated Crook &

Chase country countdown, and introducing (on Labor Day Weekend), a new Great American Country countdown, hosted by

GAC cable -TV personality Dallas Turner.

From Chicago, the Radio Hall of Fame's

Class of 2001 - Four of them: Eddie "Roch-

ester" Anderson, Jack Benny's longtime comic sidekick. Paul HarveyAurandt. Bob Uecker,

play -by -play voice of the Milwaukee Brew-

ers. And KMOX, St. Louis legend Jack

Carney. Those four men will be inducted into

the Chicago -based Radio Hall of Fame in a

black -tie ceremony on Sunday, November 3.

The Hall's Bruce DuMont plans a "Tribute to

Bob Hope" for this year's awards, the 10th

anniversary of the Radio Hall of Fame.

New York, NY

ABC finally scores a New York City affiliate for ESPN Radio with an LMA

and $78M purchase option for WEVD (1050). The LMA that puts ESPN

on WEVD full -time begins September I. and it will expand a beachhead

that began when ABC finagled the clearance of Dan Patrick on WEVD

from I -4pm. Terms of the deal: ABC will LMA WEVD for up to two

years. Then it has the option of buying it for $78M. For the seller, the

important thing is that the proceeds go into the Forward newspaper op-

erations. The Forward publishes Jewish papers in English, Yiddish and

(since 1995) Russian. We expect Forward to ask the IRS for permission to return to its former not -for -profit status. WEVD at 1050 has a 50,000 - watt signal, but it's highly directionalized. WEVD does a fine job cover-

ing the five boroughs, plus territory to the north and east. But it's severely

limited to the south, in New Jersey. ESPN Radio 1050 will become the

market's third all- sports signal, after WFAN and Sporting News Radio's

WSNR (620). 1050 was the original home of Jeff Smulyan's pioneering

all- sports "Fan ", before Smulyan acquired then -WNBC and moved WFAN

down to 660.

Portland, OR

Salem buys itself a new contemporary Christian "Fish" for $35.8M. This

ranks as one of theyear's big move -in stories. KJUN went on the air in

1999 licensed to Tillamook, OR, and then Thunderegg partners George

Kriste, Lance Anderson, Ernie Hopseker and Bob Case came into the

picture. They moved KJUN into Portland by re- licensing it to Scappoose,

and now sell it for nearly $36 million. Salem will take over the station via

an LMA in the fourth quarter. As for the latest "Fish" outlet, Salem's Ed

Atsinger says "Portland is a very strong market for Christian music." One

other person should be smiling at the early -2002 closing: original KJUN

principal Brian Lord, who remained a principal in this deal. Broker for

Thunderegg: Gary Stevens.

Atlanta, GA

Radio One begins a $30,000 -a -month agreement to LMA the future

Class A at 102.5 licensed to Mableton, GA. The permittee of 102.5 is

Mableton Investment Group, and Radio One says it will change the calls

from WAWE to WAMJ, giving it the calls currently attached to its own

107.5. Radio One's using this opportunity gaining a fourth FM in Atlanta

to realign its cluster there. Here's the drill: #I, WHTA at 97.5 remains

urban as "Hot 97.5." #2, 107.5, which just abandoned urban AC for

smooth jazz, takes new calls of WJZZ. #3, The WAMJ calls move from

107.5 to the new 102.5 - format TBA. #4, WPEZ, the move -in at 107.9

that Radio One is buying. It's now country - but that will change.

Stuart, FL

WSTU (1450) is being acquired by former WNSW GM George Kalman. Kalman tells M Street he's planning to use WNSW as the new

base for his syndicated adult standards shows. Those are the 12-year-old

"Weekend with Perry ". focusing on Perry Como; and the soon -to- launch

"Make Believe Ballroom ", hosted by Lee Arnold. WSTU is currently doing

oldies. Seller is Resort Radio Systems. WSTU's facility is a I -kw non -

directional fulltimer at 1450 KHz.

Lancaster, SC

Spanish -language operator Estuardo Rodriguez buys WAGL, Lancaster (1560) for $700,000. Rodriguez already operates Spanish -

language WLLN, Lillington, NC, so this purchase makes him a group. by

M Street's definition. We'd expect a format change at WAGL, near Rock

Hill, SC. WAGLs currently doing a mix of country. talk and southern

gospel. Seller is Len Phillips' Palmetto Broadcasting System. WAGL is a

50 -kw directional daytimer, and the brokers are Bruce Houston and David

Houston of Blackburn.

Albany, NY

Jim Morrell's Pamal Broadcasting does something unusual - it sells a station (WIZR. Johnstown, NY at 930). The former Albany

Broadcasting is selling off an AM that's essentially a daytimer to Joseph

Isabel, who's already holding adult standards WCSS, Amsterdam, NY at

1490. This deal has Isabel's "IZ Communications" acquiring WIZR, which

is basically doing soft AC, using ABC's 45+ soft AC format. It's got I -kw

day, 28 -w night, ND. In Pamal's Capital District home market, it retains

properties such as CHR "Fly 92" WFLY and soft AC WYJB. Broker on the

$550,000 sale of WIZR from Pamal to Joseph Isabel: Dick Kozacko.

Outside Grand Rapids, MI

Duke Wright's Midwest group is paying $1,450,000 for classic rock

WYVN, Saugatuck (92.7). Midwest is also compensating seller Chris Conrad $50,000 for a three-year non -compete within 50 miles of the

Saugatuck signal contour. Wright has properties in nearby Grand Rapids

(AC WHTC), Battle Creek (including country WNWN -FM) and Kalamazoo

(hot AC WFAT), and now acquires class A WYVN in Saugatuck, MI from

Chris Conrad, who's based in Holland, MI.

Outside of Idaho Falls, ID

Ryan Frandsen's Sand Hill Media lays out $I.2M for the on -air soft

AC "QFM" KADQ-FM, and a future FM (the CP for KOSZ, a new class

CI at 107.I). Seller is Ted Austin, Jr., who has owned KADQ Rexburg. ID

at 94.3 for quite a fewyears. It's a C2. Broker: Greg Merrill of Media

Services Group.

Could Be Anywhere, USA:

Dealmaking has been markedly quiet so far in 2001. though Clear Channel's

been pulling off more "tuck -in" and new- market deals than you might

think. But look for lots of quiet deal -talk at the NAB Radio Show in New

Orleans. Brokers and group heads are seldom seen palavering on the

exhibit floor but they often get together for discreet chats in nearby

hotels. We expect some action out of the NAB Radio Show, as always

sooner or later.

"After looking at several options, we decided on the VADIS platform and DC consoles from KLOTZ,' says John Decker, Chief Engineer, Capstar Communications, Tucson. 'Why? First, our install would be much faster since most of the plant wiring could be reduced to a simple Ethernet line and a fiber optic cable connecting each room with our rack room.

"Secondly, all four stations were to be housed in the same facility, and we had to share audio sources all around the plant. This is a function that is part of the KLOTZ system. Our entire plant is now based on a digital audio 'bcck- bone' that provides an improved audio signal.

'We also purchased five DC consoles. The air talent finds the DC consoles simple to operate. They can put any source in our plant on any fader of the console with a simple LCD button in the meter bridge. Giving the operator the ability to call up any source to a fader is

great since each operator prefers a different arrangement of sources on the console. -

August 22, 2001 Serving Radio Since 1984

Passions are running high over the Amber Plan

And guess what? We hear key

Congressional reps are already keenly aware

of the abducted -child -alert plan and are

tracking it. For broadcasters, the fast - spreading "Amber Alert plan" is producing a

real fault line: Proponents of the abducted - child -alert plan in markets like Dallas rave

about it. ABC's Tyler Cox tells M Street "To

me, this is an opportunity for stations to do what they're licensed to do - it's not a burden."

But some broadcasters are privately concerned

that it will be just that. We believe every U.S.

broadcaster may soon be dealing with the

Amber Plan, if the FCC includes some level of abducted -child alert in the next set of EAS

revisions. You can get a good overview of how

the plan works at the station level by visiting "www.WBAP.com" and clicking on "WBAP

Features." And proponent Tyler Cox will present his case on an NAB Radio Show Panel

on Friday, September 7 devoted to "Crisis

Management."

New FCC Chairman Michael Powell is earning respect from radio

Yes, so far,

radio likes the new

Michael Powell Commission, because execs tell us

they know what to expect. The level of unpredictability under previous Chairman Bill Kennard perplexed many buyers, sellers, attorneys and brokers. Execs

keep talking about "the process", and they're

pleased with the way it's now functioning under former military officer Powell. M Street

expects the new Powell FCC to reveal more

of its face at the NAB Radio Show, just after Labor Day. All three new Commissioners (Abernathy. Copps and Martin) will be on

hand for the Friday morning "Policymaker's Breakfast ", and we expect many FCC staffers to be in the Big Easy, too. If you can't be

there (and lots of companies aren't sending

their GMs, GSMs or PDs) -M Street will be

at the NAB to cover it foryou.

Signs of life in the station -trading market

There's a pulse beating, even if the

deals are "only" $1 million to $3 million, and

even if the advertising slowdown persists like

a bad cold. And it's not just Clear Channel

that buying, though CC is the most commonly -

seen name in this week's "Transaction Digest."

CC picks up four stations in the Hudson Val-

ley (ones it couldn't take lastyear), and adds

stations in Beaumont, Parkersburg and Shamokin (PA). And Tele -Media begins what

may be the process of unraveling the entire group by selling its four Albany, NY stations to Jim Morrell's Pamal Broadcasting and Ed

Levine's Galaxy group. Overall, broker Larry

Patrick says "the logjam may be breaking ", and

that could be because potential sellers are

getting more realistic about station -trading multiples. Brokers tell us one thing, here in

late summer 2001: They're busy.

WASHINGTON THIS WEEK Sayonara, Mass Media Bureau? There's serious talk that the FCC's Mass Media Bureau may vanish as part of a rumored scheme to consolidate the Bureau into the cable bureau, to form a new super - bureau. The FCC is already committed to streamlining its processes. and over the last decade. it has actually handled more business with fewer staffers. And based

on a recent analysis M Street conducted of the time - lapse between filings and approval. the Mass Media Bureau and other offices seem to be cranking stuff out quite expeditiously. We expect to hear much more about the Mass Media Bureau at the NAB Radio Show - but some of it may be off the record. Grizzled MMB Chief Roy Stewart was fielding questions about the "merger" story at this month's Texas Association of Broadcasters convention in San Antonio.

The FCC inspector started writing up violations at Radio One's Boston -market WBOT, Brockton (97.7)

and didn't quit until the grand total was $21,500. The single biggest piece of that ticket was a $10.000 fine for failing to have a public inspection file at the main studio (a charge Radio One disputes). The rest of the fines include $8,000 for EAS equipment not installed (the FCC didn't like Radio One's excuses about shipping delays). $500 for not having a local toll -free phone number, after Radio One took over WBOT and moved the main studio from Brockton to Boston (Radio One didn't know it was a toll call). $2,000 for failing to have operating power logs. And $1.000 for failing to have station logs. Radio One didn't help itself by asking for leniency based on its clean record. The FCC's Boston office had earlier Found violations right there at WBOT.

Better check the FCC's recent list of Low Power FM filings. The Commission just "accepted for filing" 232 new apps which is a long way from "granted ", of course. These LPFM apps are all from the January

filing window, and are now subject to objections and

petitions to deny. They're all viewable online. by city of license and frequency, at "FCC.gov."

Following a lengthy FCC revocation process, the Mike Rice stations are in legal limbo. In fact they' re practically invisible to the Commission. Look up "WBOW" at "FCC.gov ", and it doesn't exist. The call letters aren't there and the technical facility has

been deleted from the database, though the Terre Haute AM at 640 KHz is certainly on the air, and being operated by Rice under (apparently) Public No- tice. Same for modern AC WZZQ Terre Haute (107.5), and for the Rice stations in Missouri licensed to Lake Broadcasting, such as KBMX, Eldon. Mean- while, Mike Rice tells M Street he's done his time and is fully qualified to get his eight revoked licenses and permits back - under the FCC's own character policy. He's waging his fight on several lev- els: Rice's Contemporary Media is among the parties filing to be "interim operators" of the 8 stations and

CPs in Indiana and Missouri that the FCC is threaten- ing to rip out of his control. He's also ready to file to be their permanent licensee. And Rice tells M Street he's just filed an Application for Review to stop the

revocations themselves, though the process is very

far along. Other applicants to be interim operators of the Rice stations: Missouri Indiana Broadcasting, LLC, and Indacom, Inc.

There's still a battle -royal over streaming royalties - and the next legal move on streaming royalties is up to the six radio groups and the NAB. Bonneville, Cox. Emmis, Entercom. Infinity and Susquehanna lost a big round in Philadelphia, where

U.S. District Court Judge Berle Schiller ruled against them in a suit which had been moved from New York

City. What's next? The six groups, plaintiffs in the Philadelphia action, decide where to go from here,

then consult with NAB executives in Washington. There's no timetable - except the ticking clock that could be piling up more back -royalties to be paid to labels once the streaming royalty rate is finally determined by a three -member panel. We'd be very

surprised if this doesn't land back in the lap of Congress, where the NAB has friends.

Time's running out to prepare the initial filing for the 350 -station FM Auction #37. The filing window for required Form 175 opens September 24 and closes

October 5. This is the controversial auction that was

abruptly bumped from May 9 back to December 5.

About 350 CPs will be up for potential auction. depending on how the FCC juggles the appellate court decision about the bidding status of non -profits. Here are the rest of the key dates currently on the schedule:

Up -front payments are due November 5 (one month before the auction). The mock auction is December 3 and - if all goes well - the auction itself commences on Wednesday, December 5.

Pay up early, as a convenience but ifyou pay the FCC late, you fork over a 25% late fee. The FCC is

allowing regulatory fees to be paid earlier than the

normal "filing window', which is a nice surprise. The announced filing window for Fiscal Year 2001 is

September 10- September 21, but thisyear the FCC's

going to accept fee payments "at any time prior to this window." It's mailing public notices to licensees

and permitees about the FY 2001 payments. Fees

range from $250 for a class C AM facility serving under 20,000 population, up to $4.550 to a Class B, C, CI

or C2 FM with more than 1,000,000 population served. A CP for a new FM station will setyou back $925. The FCC is also rolling out its new "FeeFiler" software, available online and a darn handy time -saver

for licensees and permittees who are paying for multiple facilities.




THE TAYLOR REPORT

Trouble at Big City Radio:

It may have to raise additional equity or re- structure its debt. Phrases

like "These matters raise

substantial doubt about the

company's ability to continue

as a going concern" will earn

careful scrutiny at the SEC.

Its actually a stock phrase,

and Big City management says its working on

solutions to the cash crisis. The problem:

"Cash on hand is not sufficient to support the

company's operations through December 31

and its growth strategy. Nor is it sufficient to

fund the $9.8M interest payment due on the

notes [debt] on September 15." That's the big date that's looming on the calendar: the semi-

annual interest payment on some pricy 11 -1/4%

notes. It's due September 15 and must be paid

in cash.

R A O I 0

Look for consolidation or operating agreements among independent syndicators. NBG's acquisition of Glenn Fisher's operation

for $5.3M in July and the apparent

sale of Las Vegas -based Talk America to somebody (identity still undisclosed) are just the beginning of this new phase in the business.

One syndicator paints the picture in

stark terms: "Premiere, Westwood

and ABC are the big guys. The

independents are now thinking about how to

cooperate to compete with them." One name

you can expect to hear in the Rumor Mill: New

York -based United Stations Radio Network. It's got stability and also name recognition with veterans Nick Verbitsky and Dick Clark.

Spring Arbitrons in eight markets are still on ice. Arbitron continues to embargo markets

such as Cleveland, and it refuses to say why

which baffles subscribers we've heard from.

Arbitron says the reasons are not related to

the recent contract imbroglios with Clear Channel and Citadel.

Take your ears to New Orleans. and help

out DAB developer iBiquity. In New Orleans. the DAB testers are looking for experienced professionals "who know what

radio should sound like." A sidebar of the NAB

will be the National Radio System Committee's

scientifically- conducted "DAB Listening Test ",

and they're looking for participants who are

PDs, GMs, and engineers. The tests will last

two hours. Check "NAB.org" for info and the

sign -up sheet. The NRSC will forward all test

results to the FCC, which will be considering an in -band standard for FM '. Digital Audio i I g U I T Y Broadcasting this °t s' Fall. Meanwhile, in

a new filing with the NRSC, iBiquity says its

new DAB system for FM beats analog and

won't interfere with current FM signals. Bob Struble's team delivered results of 95,000 hours of field tests on 11 radio stations to the

National Radio Systems Committee. Struble

sounds confident the NRSC will recommend

iBiquity's in -band Digital Audio Broadcasting

solution to the FCC. He expects FCC

authorization for digital FM (not AM) in early

2002, with a big launch of commercial DAB

equipment at the Spring NAB in Las Vegas.

That was no baby crying that was a PSA.

There was a lot of wailing in Milwaukee at

7:20am on August 14: 50 straight seconds

of a baby crying. followed by a PSA voiceover

that said "No matter how much she cries, no

matter how tired you are, no matter how

frustratedyou get - never, ever shake a baby."

Emergency room docs and nurses know that

"shaken baby syndrome" affects thousands of children ayear. We salute the 18 stations in

Milwaukee who agreed to air the "shaken baby"

PSA at the same time. And kudos to the BVK

ad agency for producing the spot and spreading

the idea of a "roadblock" making sure that if you tuned away from this powerful message

on one station,you ran into it somewhere else.

It's a shoot -out between dueling country countdown shows. As veteran stars Lorianne

Crook and Charlie Chase debut a new

countdown show for

United Stations on

October 6, after leaving the fold at

Jones. Over at Jones,

its new Dallas Turner

weekend GAC countdown show debuts over Labor Day Weekend. And contractually. Crook &

Chase can't appear on United Stations until October 6 -7. They're offering stations a five-

week gap -filling series of commercial -free

shows hosted by country artists, but conspicuously devoid of Crook & Chase

themselves.

Prediction: Arbitron's new "National Database" product could trigger a new wave

of ownership consolidation. In a nutshell:

A group like Infinity or Entercom may need to

acquire a group like Citadel or Cumulus. just

to keep up with Clear Channel. Here's the

thinking: Arbitron's national database (or "regional aggregation ") produces significant

selling advantages for players with big regional

footprints. They can go to a McDonald's franchise group and show ratings for an entire

region or state. That's probably good for radio

revenue, in the long run. But the company that

reaps the most advantage from that approach

will likely be Clear Channel. because it's got by far the most extensive national reach. (And we're not even talking about CC's radio -plus- outdoor reach.) Smaller companies could find

themselves disadvantaged - not even aware

there's a buy going down at the regional level.

There's a new nighttime sex and relationship

talkshow in syndication, as Fisher Entertainment picks up San Diego's "Love

Soup." Glenn Fisher, now working for Portland, OR -based NBG Radio Network, says

he's already lined up 11 charter affiliates. Those

include Bob Kieve's KARA, San Jose. Emmis'

KKLT, Phoenix, Emmis -owned WENS, Indianapolis, and Simmons -owned KQMB, Salt

Lake City. Licensed clinical psychologist Dr.

Lori Pollick hosts the show on KFMB -FM, San

Diego. which debuted only last December.

"Love Soup with Dr. Lori" airs on "Star 100.7"

from 8 -IOpm Pacific, Monday -Thursday. Check

out excerpts of the show at "HiStar.com."

A Denver concert promoter says its David vs. Goliath. and he's suing Clear Channel

for antitrust. Denver's "Nobody In Particular"

filed suit in U.S. District Court, alleging that

CC uses the vertical integration of its concert

promotion business (the former SFX, now

Clear Channel Entertainment) and its radio

station alliance to keep artists from doing business with its local rival. The Denver Post

says the promoter wants damages and a jury

trial. CC Radio's Pam Taylor tells the L.A.

Times "We play by the rules and we will vigorously defend ourselves against this."

14 M Street Journal August 22. 2001



TRANSACTION BRIEF The following items are based on recent, noteworthy ownership- transfer applications filed with the FCC. The information is based on FCC contracts filed with the Commission and made public within the last few weeks. Market and revenue information is based on data culled from Duncan's American Radio and from M Street's own databases. When known, broker notices are included. Fax releases to Tom Taylor, (609) 883 -5696.

Albany, NY:

Tele -Media sparks sell -off rumors after dealing its four Albany - area stations to Pamal and Galaxy. After all, Tele -Media exited the

radio business once before, in the 1990s. Here's what just happened

in Albany, where Pamal gets bigger in owner Jim Morrell's home town,

and Ed Levine -run Galaxy gets a toe -hold in Albany. Call it Act I:

Pamal buys 4 Tele -Media stations in Albany. That's #I. WCPT

(modern AC "Point "). #2, WKBE (also a modern AC "Point ", but not

simulcast). #3. WKLI -FM (soft AC). And #4, WABY (news/talk and

soft AC). Tele- Media, led by Robert Tudek, reaps a total of $7M for

those four stations. Pamal keeps two stations for its current cluster: "Point" WCPT, a class A at 100.9 licensed to Albany. And the other "Point ". WKBE, a BI at 100.3 licensed to Warrensburg. WCPT and

WKBE join Jim Morrell's current group of six stations, including CHR

"Fly 92.3" WFLY and soft AC WYJB (95.5). Meanwhile, in Act 2. Pamal

spins two stations to Galaxy: soft AC WKLI -FM, an A at 94.5 licensed

to Ravena. And news/talk and soft AC WABY at 1400. with I -kw full - time. Stamford, CT -based Frank Boyle brokered the transactions.

Macon, GA:

U.S. Broadcasting is recycling $4 million of Radio One's money

to buy the CP for a new Class C2 FM at 95.1 MHz in Macon. Think of it as a kind of replacement signal: Macon -based U.S.

Broadcasting is selling Atlanta move -in WPEZ to Radio One for $55M.

Now it's going to plow some of those greenbacks into buying the CP

for a new 95.1 MHz facility in the Macon area. The seller is James

Popwell, Sr.. doing business as Broadcast Equities Corp. Popwell is

involved in a half -dozen other Georgia stations and CPs, such as WKKN,

Cordele. The CP he's selling to U.S. Broadcasting is known as WEGF.

and it's a class C2 - 46 -kw at 390 feet - licensed to Montezuma, GA. M Street notes that WEGF is upgrading from its original Class A status, covering 12.000 people, to a C2 that covers 330,000.

Lake Tahoe, CA:

It's a race against time, getting this defaulted AM station back on the air before its license expires. California Judge Jane Myers or-

dered KTHO, South Lake Tahoe licensee Chris Kidd to cooperate in

getting the FCC to approve the transfer of his station to Paradise Broad-

casting. That was June 5. FCC documents say that Kidd didn't comply with the order, and on July 19 Judge Myers ordered Clerk of the Court Alan Slater to step in and file to take over as trustee. On August I. the

FCC granted Slater's app to take over from Chris Kidd - who owes

Paradise Broadcasting $300,000. Now Slater is filing to transfer KTHO

(590) to Paradise Broadcasting. The clock is ticking, because KTHO

is currently silent. If it doesn't resume broadcasting by October 18,

Slater warns the license will expire.

Southwestern GA:

Small Town Radio buys its first four stations, and they ARE in small

towns - Blakely, GA and Donalsonville, GA. Total compensation to the

selling Kelley family will be about $I.5M, including the employment con-

tract for Gil Kelley, Ir., whose father has owned some of these stations for

decades. Small Town's management includes former Root Communica- tions executive Don Boyd. Here's what the Kelley family is selling: In

Blakely, country/talk WBBK at 1260. and country "B93" WBBK -FM, a O at

93.1. Down south in Donalsonville, the Kelleys are selling country/talk WSEM at 1500 (simulcast on WBBK). And hot AC WGMK, a class A at

106.3. Both AMs are I -kw daytimers. Broker on the sale: Doyle Hadden.

Beaumont, TX:

Cumulus pays $2.1M to add an FM in a market where it's about to move another FM over to Houston. The new purchase is oldies KLOI, a Class C3 that's only been on the air a couple ofyears in Beau- mont -Port Arthur. TX. Of course Lew Dickey -run Cumulus already has its eyes on Texas due to its impending move -in of KAYD (97.5) from Beaumont to Houston. This new acquisition - KLOI. Silsbee at

101.7 - is apparently supposed to stay home in Beaumont, and is

temporarily simulasting with Country KAYD -FM. Seller is San Anto- nio -based William G. Hill, who picked up majority control of KLOI

through a transaction earlier thisyear involving Gerald Proctor.

Monroe, LA:

Mike Oesterle's ownership group pays nary $3M to enter Monroe, IA. The three stations on the block belong to Dan Hollingsworth's Ruston Broadcasting: "The Choice" urban KRUS, a one -kilowatt full - timer at 1490. Hot AC "B99.3" KNBB, a class C3. And country "Kix 107.5" KXKZ. a C. They're licensed to Ruston, IA, and they're all going to Michael Oesterle's Communications Capital Managers. LLC.

Price: $2.97M. with an escrow of $200,000. Some familiar names are

in the Oesterle ownership group: Woodward Stover. Charles McLravy.

And Michael Starr. Oesterle and Stover are the Managing Members of the LLC. Charleston, SC -based Gordon Rice represented the seller.

Salt Lake City, UT:

To accomplish its TV swap with Rupert Murdoch, Clear Channel divests talk/sports KALL at 910 KHz. Lowry Mays is about to have

his first TV property in Salt Lake (ABC affiliate KTVX). and that reduces

the number of radio stations CC can hold there by one. (The FCC's

max is I TV station/7 radio stations.) The station Clear Channel's going to divest is talk/sports KALL (910). which usually pulls close to a

2 -share 12 +. Buyer is Van Archer's Mercury Broadcasting. which already

has three stations in Salt Lake that CC is providing sales services to: soft AC "Cosy" simulcast KOSY/KRAR and classic hits KCPX. The

FCC required Murdoch's News Corp. to divest KTVX/Channel 4 in

Salt Lake, and Clear Channel's going to pick up both it and KMOL, San

Antonio, in exchange for Minneapolis- market WFTC -TV.
