Business NewsAd Age Elects O.J. Star Spokesman Of The Year
O.J. Simpson appears to be the "Super-star of Rent -a -Stars, ' as Advertising Agemagazine has elected the football andmovie star as their "Star Presenter of theYear." Simpson was cited for his credi-bility, persuasiveness, sales effectiveness,image and merchandisability. Since his en -trace into professional football, O.J. hasbeen spokesman or endorser for HertzCorp., Tree -Sweet, General Motors, FosterGrant, Schick, Royal Crown Cola, AcmeBoot Co., and Wilson Sporting Goods, alongwith several others. The latest Gallup pollshows Simpson outranking all other sportspersonalities in popularity with teens.Among boys, he was most popular, andwas beaten only by Chris Evert and gym-nast Nadia Cornaneci with the female teens.The Hertz Corp.'s consumer surveys showa 23% increase in awareness of their carrental line since Simpson's start as theircommercial spokesman. His film careeris rising as fast as his commercial career,with upcoming starring roles, TV varietyappearances, and his own productioncompany.
ABC Broke No Rules With Ford CommentThe FCC has said that ABC-TV did not break any personal attack rules when they
broadcast comments about former President Ford in a 1975 "Good Morning America"show. A guest on that show had said that the President appeared "stoned" on severaloccasions. The main body of the Commission agreed with their broadcast bureauin its statement that no rule had been broken, and also stated that since no one,including Ford, had complained about the incident, they would not pursue the issue.
Commission OK's Political FreebiesThe FCC has ruled on a case against three Massachusetts radio stations in which
the stations aired paid commercials for a controversial electric rate referendum,and then ran free time to opponents of the commercial's issue. The Commissionsaid that groups that buy time for a political issue have no grounds to complain if thestations provided free time for the other side, under the fairness doctrine.
Changing Society Warning From Marketing Exec.Heublein Inc.'s Chairman Stuart Watson has aired a warning to a major marketing
conference recently. Watson stated that American society is going through dramatic"value" changes, and marketing interests must be able to project the trends in orderto keep their products wanted by consumers. Among the changes that Watsonnoted would affect advertising and marketing: a dramatic change in husband/wiferoles, along with new attitudes about household tasks, more consumer awareness ofwasteful consumption, which Watson feels is a strong opportunity for innovation byproduct makers, changing food industry trends toward nutrition and health, andchanges in needs in new homes. Inflation and other economic factors will alsolend themselves to a change in American buying habits, Watson noted.
Radio To Lead Way In Metric WeatherRadio and television are among the first to take steps in teaching Americans
the new metric temperature measures, with more and more stations now giving weatherreports in both Fahrenheit and Celsius. The Weather Service is now suggesting thatCelsius, or centigrade, temperatures be given exclusively by July 1978. For thoseconfused by Celsius temperatures, you can determine the Fahrenheit equivalentby multiplying the Celsius by 1.8 and adding 32 degrees. Normal body heat willno longer be 98.6, but 37 degrees Celsius.

Network Probe May Be SlowedThe Federal Communications Commission may submit
to a bit of political pressure and put a temporaryhalt to their hearings on networks. Senate memberErnest Hollings has asked the Commission to stop pro-ceedings until two new FCC members, replacing the de-parting Richard Wiley and Benjamin Hooks, can be seatedfor the inquiry.

Sour Argument Over SweetsA former Federal Trade Commission staffer has told a meeting of the American Advertising Federation
that any proposed bans on candy advertising by the FTC should be supported with facts that showthat candy is a detriment to public health. Some panel members during the meetings suggested that theCommission would soon place such a ban on children's programming, First Amendment principlesshould also apply to older age groups, and that more, rather than less, information should be givento the youthful consumer.
TWA Told To Cease On -Time AdsThe Civil Aeronautics Board has issued a cease and desist order to Trans World Airlines, asking
them to discontinue using their "on -time" ad campaign. Earlier, a CAB administrative law judge hadrecommended that TWA place $1.6 million in "corrective" advertising to counteract the on -time ads.However, the CAB will now hold hearings to determine whether such a plan should be put intc effect.TWA has stated that the cease and desist order applies only to ads run some time ago, and thattheir current print "best on time record" ads would not be affected by the order.
Aerosol Use Drops After Bad PublicityA consumer study has shown that adverse publicity about the affects of flourocarbons used in
aerosols have caused the use of these products to drop significantly. Nationally, the use of aerosolspray deodorants dropped 5% in a two month period, and hair spray consumption slipped the samepercentage in the same period as well. The study group, Consumer Response Corp., noted that it isvery rare for such a large group of consumers to change their buying habits in such a short length of time.
"Star Wars" Rejects TVAll three major television networks have made bids to 20th Century Fox for the rights to air the hit
movie "Star Wars," to no avail. Reportedly, multi -million dollar deals have been offered, far above the$5 million that CBS will pay for "Network," but 20th has thus far turned them all down.
Where Have All The Men Gone?The Labor Department has been perplexed recently over the apparent disappearance of men in the
country's work force. Last year, more than 2 million men in the prime work age of 25-54 were not tobe found in the working population. Only one quarter of these men expressed a desire to find work.Many of these men stated that they left work due to health reasons, family reasons, or the financialability to retire. While men are leaving jobs, women continue to take more and more positions in theworking world.

ColorSoftball Rolls On In San Francisco: Y-93 and Bill Graham took on the staff of BAM
(Bay Area Musicians) Magazine and beat them 19-16 (hardly a pitchers' duel). The stationalso ran a Star Wars promotion in which listeners were invited to guess the sound of thedroid being played on the air to win kits containing T-shirts, the album toys, and movietickets. A similar promotion was run by the station with the movie The Deep. Thecorrect n amber callers won "Deep Treasure Hunt Kits" complete with movie tickets, the album,anc T -shits.
AMC Peter Giveaway: WQSRITampa gave the car to a lucky listener in their "15Musical Questions" contest. Each day, one question was asked on the air. If entrantshad 8 or more right they became eligible for a drawing for the car. Second prize wasa complete catalogue by an act of the winner's choice.

THE REtR INTERVIEW:
DAN MASPD, WPGC/WASHINGTON D.C.
by J.J. JordanREM: Tell me a little bit about yourself and how you got
into radio.Mason: I went to Eastern Kentucky University, graduated
in 1973 with a business/marketing background. I was workingmy way through college at WVLK and then I just happened tosend out a couple of blind box tapes to Broadcasting and I gota job in St. Louis and then I went to Kansas City and thenI came back to WKLO in Louisville which is my home town.I'm from Kentucky, and they told me at WKLO that I'd neverget off of the all -nits show so I decided I better fire out acouple of tapes. I sent one to Z93/Atlanta in which MikeScott who was National PD 'at the time hired me to doevenings. From there I went to Ass't Program Director, thisis still back in 1974, and then the PD in '75. First Mediabought Z93 in January of '77, they obtained control of it inJanuary '77 and then the situation up here I wastransferred to WPGC just recently.
REM: Was Z93 in Atlanta your first FM operation?Mason: No, I was one of the original staff members that
went into KBEQ/Kansas City back when Chris Bailey wasProgram Director and the station was consulted by GeorgeWilson. So KBEQ was my first FM and that was back in'73 when they first changed format.
REtR: And your first programming position was at Z93.Mason: I moved up to Ass't. PD there and took over PD
in '75.REM: When you were at Z93 the station was very
successful under your reign as Program Director, what do youattribute your success to in that market?
Mason: Just humanizing a radio station and adapting thatstation to the market. In other words it's marrying the stationto the people. Doing promotions that were people promo-tions, keeping up the give-away promotions and all that,but taking it one step further and doing a human promotionthat somebody else would be afraid to touch.
REtR: When you were in Atlanta at Z93 did you have abig promotion budget to work with?
Mason: No, it wasn't. It was considerably smaller thanthe one I have here.
REtR: How did you get around that?Mason: Making it sound big. You can't make an album
sound big anymore, you can't do that, but what you can dois maybe you can give 5 of them. Maybe you can, if you'vegot an X number of albums to give-away, just load 'em all up,put them in a room and say it's an album of your choicein the Z93 album library. Do a little word twist and makeit sound a little bit bigger than it is. Radio in the future isgoing to begin to get away from give-aways because thewhole industry has burnt itself out on give-aways. It's likeasking somebody to come over to your house for a glass ofthe greatest wine in the world. Well, if they've been doingit year after year, finally they expect it and it's really thatall the fun has gone out of it. What I see in the futureare radio stations turning around and getting into the com-munity and doing things like sponsoring free benefit showswith local groups for charities, and pulling all the dogsout of the Humane Society and trying to find them homes,playing on people's emotions, that's what radio is all about.Radio is emotion.
REtR: Do you think people are getting tired of winningTee-shirts and albums, etc.?
Mason: They're getting tired of hearing about them, I
don't think they're necessarily getting tired of winning thembut look at the research that was just done, 0.5% of thepopulation play contests, so there is another 99.5% that maybe getting tired of hearing them. That small percentagestill likes to win, but you're dealing with majorities.
REtR: With your recent move to WPGC in Washingtonfrom Z93, what's the difference in your programming phil-osophies, are you going to change your approach in any waybecause of your new facility that involves an "AM" besidesthe FM?
Mason: I think the first thing that I would do in thesituation at WPGC is probably nothing. Why make massivechanges as long as it is successful and as long as thesesystems have worked for these people? Why go in and doyour own ego type trip? It's business, and being a business-man I'll make changes as I see them coming down, but tosay I'll go in right away and say I'll make massive changesis just foolish.
REtR: On the air what does WPGC stress? Does itstress the FM separate of the AM or do you stress bothon the air?
Mason: We stress both because there were a coupleof lines they were doing here like "WPGC 1580 AM and 95Stereo", stuff like that. However, I do see it down theline with what's coming with the separation of the simulcastand different things like that. That plus generally goodradio is you've got to put all your marbles in the FM if theAM wants to come along for the ride, that's fine, but you'vegot to program the FM. The FM is the power of this radiostation.
REtR: Where does the biggest chunk of your audiencelie, with the FM or your AM?
Mason: Without a doubt the FM. It triples it. That's whyI say to worry about some AM radio formats and stufflike that might be a little obscure down the line or obsolete.
R&R: When you were in Atlanta you had a Top40 station on the AM dial in the market, but in Washington,you have really no Top 40 competition. So what's the dif-ference for a programmer going into a market where allof a sudden there is no direct Top 40 competition? Do youprogram the same way as if you had another Top 40 in themarket?
Mason: I like to think, even in Atlanta, when there'stwo different types of programming there's defensive pro-gramming and there's offensive programming. Defensiveprogramming is the kind that a PD will structure himselfwith promo's like "We've given away the most money, morethan any other Atlanta radio station's put together", that tome is defensive programming. Offensive programming iswhere you say, you take the winning attitude, you do yourown thing and you never look over your shoulders. That'sexactly what we've done in Atlanta and that's exactlywhat we want to do here.
REM: Let's talk a little bit about Music Research. Wheredo you believe research lies in regard to music? Are youbig on call -out passive research, or do you believe heavily inrecord store research?
Mason: We do basically store research, through thepeople who the Music Director here has come to know,and feels he's not going to hype him, been out with the guypersonally or girl personally and has seen to it these peoplehave been taken care of by us. In other words, we tryto make the people at the stores hype -proof. We'll take careof them before anybody else will and they know they don'thave to worry about anything. If they need anything they cancall the radio station and they'll get it. We do the storeresearch like that, I'd like to do passive research if I had thefacility to do it. If I had the call -out systems and everythingelse that's involved in it, but I don't believe in dickeringwith that stuff unless you know what you're doing becauseyou might be leading yourself up to a disaster.
REM: In other words, you feel comfortable with whatyou're doing, basically calling stores?
Mason: In the meantime I would like to develop and I will
develop more. I will sit down with the owners here and we'lldiscuss budget and make some studies on how much it willcost, we'll go about it like a business, we just won't flyinto it blind like a lot of radio stations do and there are a tonof them out there that are doing it right now.
REtR: Besides individual record stores, do you involveyourself in researching racks at all?
Masort Oh sure we'll do racks and we'll do one stops.Jim Elliot and I will soon get together and discuss and laydown policies. As a matter of fact I know he's already doingthis.
REM: When you call the racks do you call the rackitself and/or do you call the racked stores?
Mason: We call the racks and we'll also call the storesthat are supplied by those racks. That's how we can pickup stock deficiencies and all that. It cuts down al lot of redtape when you're trying to re -order stock or trying to getstock into a market.
MIR: Do you find in areas where stores are heavily rackeathat you run into a lot of problems where stock just doesn'tget into the market?
Mason Oh sure, speaking of Atlanta now, it was a lotworse 3 years ago than it is now. Most of the placesin Atlanta will rack off Z93 now. Back in the old days whenthey had no ratings they wouldn't do that. That's under-standable, though. They rack off WPGC here, they have tobecause the station's been so dominant for so long. Butwhatever you do it has to be consistent, if you've got asystem that you're comfortable with don't try to massivelychange the thing around or you'll have so many differentfiles, you'll be going in so many different directions that youwon't be able to check any patterns or any sales patternin the market on a certain group or something like that.
REtR: Give me a sample of what you ask for when youcall the record stores, how do you obtain your information?
Mason: We just take the back page of R&R and the frontpage of Gavin, list all those singles on a long sheet and justget a number system out of them as to how the singlesare selling.
REtR: What type of number system do you use?Mason: Excellent, good, fair and poor, maybe one :o five
or one to four, somewhere in that area.REM: In other words the person who calls the stores
reads off the records and they receive a point value.Mason: Like I would say Barry Gibb, and the person
would reply excellent and I would transfer that to a number.REtR: After you call all of your sources all of your
stores, etc., how do you come up with the total?Mason: You would just base a percentage on each
or what you would do is call more of the shops, and storesthat are racked, see what I'm saying, you could weighit that way. So maybe I would call five or six shops, allthree stores that are racked by a certain rack, and thatwould give me a weighing system on the whole thing.whole thing.
REM: Mathematically though, how do you do it at the end?Mason: Oh, it's simple, you just total them up and pu: them
all in order and you would be amazed, a lot of peoplehave probably given up on that system, but you would beamazed how those things will jive with the national chart oreven with what you're doing.
R&R: Do you find the system very consistent?Mason: Consistent, I'd like to do a lot of past research
on oldies. I think that's a big thing that a lot of radio station'smay take a long hard look at, especially with the influenceof the Abrams type stations who have really revolutionizedthe oldies system. They're AOR stations, but yet those stationswill beat you on oldies faster than they will new albummusic.
REM: What advice can you give to somebody who'sin a much smaller town to get some type of associationgoing with stores and to get credible information every week.Mason: They've got to get out there and know the peoplewho run those stores because the people who run the storeswould be more than willing to talk to the guys at the radiostation, because the radio station's in some of the smallertowns are their only sales factor or the only sales forcethere is to sell their product.
REM: Do you weigh you Mom & Pop stores differentlythan you do your racked stores when you're putting togetheryour survey?
Mason: Yes, like in Atlanta, I'm convinced that thepeople who buy singles in Atlanta, Georgia are buyingthem in department stores stuck out in the suburbs. I don'tbelieve that the Mom Et Pop stores will sell as much as thatbig Sears store out in Buckhead or one of the areas outthere. People who buy singles, middle-class Americans. earnnot much, just enough to make a good living, not rich enoughto be into investing a lot of money in albums. These aethe people who are buying all those singles in those de-partment stores. Because it's cheaper, it's obviously cheaper.
REM: When you talk to a Morn & Pop store week toweek, do you usually try to talk to the same person?
Mason: Oh, for sure. You have to.(Continued on page 36)

MASON(Continued from page 341
R&R: But then many times when you talk to a rackedstore have you run into the problem where the person in therecord department is from the houseware department thatday, they're filling in because someone is absent?
Mason: That happens in some stores, but in others,for instance, like in JL Marsh with their Treasure Islandstores, they do an excellent job with their people. They keepthem a long time and whereas with a Woolworth's or aSear's you may run into that because they're not as consciousabout their record departments as some of the others.After you've been in a market you know which departmentstores are on top of things and which aren't. All you'vegot to do is go through and ask questions. People who reallyknow music, as JL Marsh, do a great job.
R&R: The word research has become such a large wordin the radio vocabulary in the last couple of years, do you thinkresearch is getting to the point where some people aregetting too research oriented, or do you think that situationcan't exist?
Mason: I think the people who are misusing passiveresearch, who are not using a broad enough base or reallywho don't know the technology behind research are hurtingthemselves because they're going on too small a base ofpeople and it's not an active reflection of what's going on intheir total metro or TSA market because they have to use abigger sample than 50 people a day or whatever. Atlantahas one point six million people, how can anyone survey50 or 100 or even 200 people and tell that this iswhat this market is all about? I think to do a passiveresearch system or to do any kind of big research job youalmost have to use a curculation of a major newspaperor you almost have to hire a company to come in andindependently research it for you. People who are trained.
REtR: So you feel you really have to have a large baseto know exactly what you're doing.
Mason: Passive research or research period, was thegreatest thing that was ever invented in radio, if youcan do it right. If you can't do it right, don't do it.
REtR: What about your Pop/Adult stations in the market?In most cities the Pop/Adult station is playing 90 percentof the same music Top 40 is playing.
Mason: Right, they are. The presentations are a littlebit different, for instance WASH which is just a fine radiostation, they do a real good job, the music is different,the presentations are a little bit dryer than ours. Thenyou've got WMAL which will play everything from KC ElThe Sunshine Band to Peggy Lee, but that presentation isbuilt on strong, strong, strong personality. For what they doin this market they are incredible.
R&R: So you think though the music is pretty much thesame on the Pop/Adult stations in Washington?
Mason: With the exception of WMAL because they'retoo broad. There is nobody in the market who could expectto do what WMAL is doing and expect to get any numbers.
REtR: Then, you feel the only real difference is thepresentation?
Mason: Sure it is, how it's presented and the promotionand the flow of the radio station.
R&R: What can a Programmer do to entrench himselfinto a market when he makes a move from one stationto another
Mason: In Washington I'll do the same thing as in Atlanta.Remember when I went to Atlanta and first got my feetwet into the market, I learned more about radio in the townfrom my next door neighbor than I did from anybodyconnected with radio or records period. If you just lookaround, go into a 7-11 store or if you go into see whatpeople are listening to, see what they're talking about.Walk into a record store and listen to them talk.
REM: What do you look for in jock audition tapes?Mason: The best thing that a man can do is to just
not try to impress the Program Director with some kind ofcut-up aircheck because it will just come back to haunt him,What I look for is a guy who can handle himself on the air.I think an important test is a disc jockey's ability to see howhe handles himself on the telephone. That's so importantbecause if he can come across with that kind of humor ontelephone bits and stuff like that then I know that he'sgot the ability to be a natural human being on the air.
R&R: What can a jock in a smaller market do to improvehimself to the point where he's ready for a market that size.
Mason: I think the best thing to do if a man's in asmaller market is to be able to listen to all the radio hecan get his hands on, tune up and down that dial constantly,read everything he can get his hands on. That's the learningprocess, what you can read, the ability to get your hands onmaterial that you need to read about, personality, format,
music research, anything, read anything.REtR: Do you think it's good fora young jock to emulate
another jock in a bigger market?Mason: If he has no direction it's okay, until he can get
into a place where he can start. It's like walking withcrutches, until he's able to walk on his own, then that'sthe only place where the man can get direction, then that'swhat he should do. Until he's able to stand on his owntwo feet.
11&11: What makes a good Program Director?Mason: The ability to be a businessman. If you're
not a businessman capable of handling a sales department,capable of dealing with management, capable of dealing withegos, than it won't work, you just have to get in thereand roll with the punches.
R&R: Why do you think the role of the PD has changedover the past couple of years?
Mason: Because the Program Directors for years havebegged to be management, they've begged to say I shouldbe management, why aren't I treated like one. Now theyare treated like one and now they're expected to act like it.
REtR: Let me ask you about the difference between AMrock and FM rock. Where do you think it's going to go inthe next five years?
Mason: I think they'll always be a place for a bigestablished AM Rockers like WABC or KHJ, there'llprobably always be a place for those type stations becausethey serve so many people. Some AM rockers with smallersignals that don't have that comprehensive coverage like that,I think they'll go to more of a relaxed Pop/Adult format.AM rockers, if they haven't protected their older adult base,speaking 25-49, if they are constantly 18-24 and teens, they'rein trouble because now the FM's have slipped right under-neath them and taken that base away. They have nothing togo on, an AM rocker, as long as it's protecting that 25.49base, it should be able to hold on.
R&R: Do you think AM stereo will be any threat to the FMrockers?
Mason: Absolutely not. I really can't believe that anybodywho has gone out and purchased a four or five hundreddollar stereo unit with a FM stereo, that they're going to bewooed back to AM, I can't see that happening.
REM: Do you feel that the Program Director and/orthe Music Director has to have a close relationshop withyour local record promotion representatives to find out thelocal point of view on a record?
Mason: Sure, because those people are out there doingbusiness just like you are and you have to treat them withthe respect of a business person working for a companyjust like what you're into. One could not do without the other.
R&R: At WPGC are you doing any type of air shift?Mason: Yeah, I do 6 to 9 just like I did in Atlanta.R&R: Do you find that interferes with your daily routine
as a Program Director?Mason: Well, whether it does or it doesn't, the man-
agement of this company says this is what I have to do forthis job and I just do it and I accept it as part of the joband just get in there and do it. I try to plan my day aroundit. We're talking about a 10 hour day.
REtR: Give me a little rundown on what your normalday at WPGC has been like.
Mason: The normal day now, if I told you, you wouldn'tbelieve it so I'll skip to two months up the road where I geteverything settled the was I want to do it. The normal daywould be I get here at 11 o'clock in the morning and I'llgo home at nine so it's 10 hours a day five days a week.
R&R: How much of that day is spent in actual pro-gramming, and how much is spent with management duties?
Mason: I would say probably 3 hours is going to be onthe air. Two and a half hours will be in programming.The rest of the time being in operations.
R&R: Do you feel in this day and age that the Program Directormust have a relationship with the sales manager to have thestation function on the right basis?
Mason: If a Program Director and a Sales Manager haveopposing relationships, if there's not a good business re-lationship, the station is on it's way to disaster. Becauseyou just cannot have that kind of stuff. You can't have thoseinternal forces pulling against each other for the station to bea happy radio station. If sales people and programmingpeople cannot respect each other's ideas and what each otheris there for, then there's trouble.
R&R: How many commercial minutes an hour doesWPGC run?
Mason: Twelve.REtR: Is there any unit maximum?Mason: 16 units.
R&R: How many jingles are available for airplay at WPGC?Mason: Oh, around sixteen.R&R: It's left to the jocks discretion as to where they're
placed?Mason: Well, let me just say this, built within the format
there are times when they have the option to jingle or not
to jingle. If you listen to one -hour at WPGC everything is prettymuch consistent about how many jingles an hour are played,but it's up to them when they feel it's the best timeto use a jingle and when not to.
R&R: Are you presently playing album cuts at WPGC?Mason: Very few. The ones we're playing are excellent
albums cuts that we have found are selling the albs ms in the city.
REtR: Are these cuts above and beyond your top 30or whatever?
Mason: Oh yeah.R&R: When are these albums played?Mason: At various times in a day.REtR: In other words you don't restrict them to after
10pm etc?
Mason: Some are restricted, they're highly day -parted.You have to day part that kind of stuff.
R&R: Is your regular music, your basic current playlist,is that day -parted?
Mason: Yes, everything is day -parted. It was that way inAtlanta and it's the way to make the station flow. A stationhas to flow, for instance it's hard to play some ecords like"High School Dance" at 6:30 in the morning, you just can't do it
R&R: You've got a number of R&B stations in that marketso let's talk about the R&B factor of Washington. I wouldimagine it's a lot bigger than what Atlanta was.
Mason But you know the music, a lot of the music is thesame. The Black feel is there, the only thing different in themarket is that this one has no Country content like in Atlanta.
REtR: You have Beltsville, Maryland right down the streetfrom you and now you have probably the best opportunityyou ever had to get down to Arbitron to check out diariesand so -forth. Do you feel it's really necessary for programmersto be able to check out the raw material used any typeof ratings, by any type of rating service?
Mason: Oh absolutely. That's how you can tell whetheryour cute little slogans are working, that's how you can tellhow well your jocks are sunk into the market. It just tellsthe story right there. Those raw books are the bottom lineof our business. Sad, but true, they are the bottom line.They put either Filet Mignon or Hamburger on our tablesand that's the way it'll probably always be until somebodycomes up with a better way to do this with audienceresearch. So you have to look at that. It's got to be part ofyour life.
REtR: What's the ballpark figure of the pay for a jockin that market?
Mason: Probably in the 20's. I'm talking about ourradio station, I don't know what the other stations are paying.
R&R: Is the cost of living very high in Washington?Mason: Not really, it is for middle -income housing.
The same house that cost thirty -grand in Atlanta would costfifty here. But apartments are the same, I pay S275 amonth for my apartment, two -bedroom, all bills paid. That'swhat you're gonna find in Atlanta, Kansas City, and Louisville,as long as you shop around.
R&R: What kind of news department does WPGC have?
Mason: WPGC has never put much emphasis on newsso it's very little. It's hard for WPGC to ever expect tocompete with a news operation like WTOP or even WMALwo we're selling music not news.
REtR: How many news people do you have employed atWPGC?
Mason: Let me just say very few.R&R: How many newscasts a day do you have?Mason: Let's see, not counting the all-nite show, we have
2 an hour in morning drive...R&R: What's the length?Mason: Five minutes.R&R: Five minutes twice per hour morning drive and
then midday?Mason: 11:50 there's a newscast and that's it for the day
until the all-nite show.R&R: Whataboutafternoon drive?Mason: None. We've got to keep in mind that this is
an FM radio station, people listen to FM for music that'swhat we're selling.
R&R: Where does Dan Mason want to be in his careerin five years?
Mason: I want to be a General Manager of a mediumor major market Rock station.
R&R: Do you feel in this day and age that programmershave more of an opportunity than ever to get to the man-agement position?
Mason: Sure, as long as they demonstrate that they willbe a manager, that they can be a manager that they belongin management. They don't do crazy things, they act likea business person. I know I'm going to have to someday,say in 2 or 3 years from now, have to go be a salesman, toget into management. I have to learn that aspect, have tohave that experience. Whether it takes me 6 or 8 monthsto get it I've got to learn that before I'm ready. I've gotto get out on the street and try to sell some time.

POP/ADIRTNOTES
At press time WCBM/Baltimore had not yet replaced the PD positionvacated by Bruce Holberg. It would be a hell of an opportunity forsomeone with the need to continue in Bruce's winning ways.
Paul Anka is in the unique position of having covered his own song."Everybody Ought To Be In Love" was recently released by FrankSinatra...now Paul's version is available on UA.
Natalie Cole off to a good start with her latest...right on WGN, KEX,WKIQ.
Alice Cooper, currently headlining the news with a seven milliondollar lawsuit is also headlining at some new stations with his latestrelease "You And Me."
Had a pleasant chat with George Fischoff on the phone this week.We note that his Columbia release "Piano Dancing" added WJNO andKTNT.
Marvin Gaye continues to get Pop/Adult play little by Iittle...latestadds are WTAE and KFI.
Bobby Goldsboro may be taking a second dip of "Honey" with hisnew release..."The Cowboy And The Lady." Check New a Active.
As Bob Swanson and Eric Norberg point out...the Highway 101record "Every Moment" was released on an independent label about ayear ago. Result...nothing. Sometime after that, Elton John apparentlyheard it...loved it...and with some alteration released it last month on hisRocket label. See New Et Active for latest play.
Epic flipped the Humperdinck and may have found the hit...it's oneof this week's more active in terms of new airplay...see New Et Active.
Waylon Jennings making some impressive moves...6-1 KDWN, 29-19WATR, 12-6 WORG and these are not Southern or Midwest stations.It's also reporting hot at WIOD, WHAM, KSL, WGY, WJNO, WTMJ.
Peter McCann's no nonsense approach to relations with a lady isshowing solid activity atWIP, KVI, WCBM, KUKI, WCHV, WATR, WYMC.
Dusty Springfield picked up four new good stations this week...check New Et Active.
Merl Wilson is still on the line with her "Telephone Man." It pickedup new play at KORA, 14FBL and WGGA.
