The station came on with plenty ofenthusiasm. In Blackburn's words,"everybody is already reacting to us ...we're starting to turn around themarket." KAFM's debut as a Top 40FMer was announced by bus, billboardand television advertising.
"We're running a new set of jingles,which we refer to as the 'inward basic'type; they run from the end of therecord into the commercial. I
developed them in '72 at the Norfolk Q,then recorded them for PAMS.
"We're the only Top 40 in the marketnow with 100,000 watts at 1600 feet.We're sharing the stick with two otherstations, one Country and oneprogressive, but we'll have the bestcoverage for a Top 40. McClendon'sKN US doesn't cover the whole area byany means."
KAFM is the sister station of KR L D,and the station's executive vicepresident is John Cash Butler.
In Blackburn's opinion, "we'rerockin' our ass off, and things arebeginning to sound crazy When wetook over QRK In Norfolk, we turned Itaround in exactly eighty-three days. I
expect about the same to happen atKAFM."

It's a major understatement to saythat most people in radio areunfamiliar with the way in which thevarious rating services operate. Withthat in mind, Bob Pittman, programdirector of WPEZ-FM-Pittsburgh, witha little help from his friends (stationmanager Dick Booth, and WWSW G.M.Charlie Warner) visited Beltsville,Maryland, to look into the ARB diaries.What follows is a piece he submitted tous upon his return.
It's one thing to understand themethodologies that ARB makes use of,
Bob Pittman
Md.but it's an entirely different thing to seea book from raw data all the way tofinished product. One tends to be
academic, the other's almostemotional.
I've been involved in studying theworkings of ARB for a while, but untilrecently, I had never taken the time tomake the trip to Beltsville. On mostoccasions when I've had a question, thepeople at Arbitron have been able toprovide the answer for me. Sometimesthey've had to go to the coders andprogrammers in Beltsville to find theanswer, but they've always answeredmy questions. But these questions havealways been questions of theory, aboutAR B's in general, not questions aboutmy market in particular. There is onlyone way to get these type of questionsanswered -- to go to Beltsville. Which iswhy I went.
It's advisable for more than oneperson to make the trip because of thelarge volume of information and thelimited amount of time. On my trip, I
was accompanied by twoprogramming oriented managementpeople, Dick Booth (WPEZ StationManager) and Charlie Warner(General Manager of our sister station,WWSW). Between the three of us, wewere able to pull together quite a bit ofinformation.
The two primary items to beexamined are the diaries and themechanical diary, a printout of alldiaries in which a particular stationwas mentioned. Examining the diariesbordered on being an emotionalexperience. Before my trip toBeltsville, I was well aware of how a

RADIOdiary is coded. But to actually see mystation lose a quarter hour because ofthe methods of coding used is anentirely different experience. Again,academic versus emotional. Theoryversus actual workings. On the otherhand, there is an almost sadisticpleasure to be derived from seeing thecompetition lose, to codingmethodologies, a quarter hour, orbetter yet, a whole diary. And believeme, I saw a lot of that.
si
There are a good many questionswhich can be answered by studying thediaries. A few are:
1. Determining relative strength of astation in the different areas of themarket. This can be accomplished bydoing a break-out of the zip -codes onthe diaries. Then this can be comparedto a breakdout, by zip -codes, of thepopulation of the market. It thenbecomes apparent in which areas aspecific station has its strengths andweaknesses.
2. Determining average listeningspans. This becomes even moremeaningful if the average listeningspan is determined for different ages,sexes, races, geographic locations, andtypes of listeners (based upon suchcriteria as: other stations listened to
and time of day the person listens to the
radio).3. Determining which stations you're
sharing your listeners with.4. Determining the various listening
patterns.5. Comparing these patterns in
family units, in geographic units, and
in demographic units.6. Determining tune -in points and
tune -out points for all primary stationsin the market.
And these are only a very few.Examination of the diaries can providean answer to almost any programmingquestion, relative to impact upon thelistener. The key to getting the questionanswered is knowing how the questionrelates to the diaries and themethodologies used.
If a station has the necessary moneyand manpower, all the diaries could becopied and a later date could be run ona computer. This would be the ultimatein usefulness of the diaries.
If you're planning a trip to Beltsville,the only thing I can suggest is that youcompletely breakout the book beforeyou go. Once you have examinedquarterhour maintenance, daypartlistening, etc. you'll know the questionsthat need to be answered. Then you canlook for answers instead of questions.

PROGRESSIVERADIO
by Mike HarrisonSyndicated taped radio concerts
have become very popular amongFMers as of late. They have manyadvantages: they save the station thetime and effort of organizing andproducing programs; they may notordinarily have the opportunity toenjoy them; they provide the stationwith a special sales package; theycreate the excitement of a "special"with common denominator appeal.
One of the most successful of thesepackages is THE KING BISCUITFLOWER HOUR. This program,produced by D.I.R. Broadcasting Corp.of New York, runs bi-weekly Sundayevenings on major radio stations coastto coast. Among the acts that have beenpresented are Loggins and Messina, J.Geils, Emerson Lake and Palmer,Seals and Crofts, Procol Harum, RodStewart and The Faces, and numerousother top names. Upcoming programswill include The Who, Harry Chapin,and The Bee Gees.
A member of my staff, Jeff Gelb,recently spoke to Bob Meyrowitz,President of D.I.R.
JG: What Prompted you to startD.I.R.?
BM: I was with NBC Radio aroundthe time of that killing at the Stonesconcert at Altimont. It was at thispoint, I believe, that many peoplebecame disillusioned with the giantrock concerts. It occured to me thatbroadcasting live concerts over theradio could bring the music to millionsof people at the same time both safelyand comfortably. Our first programran, strangely enough, on the AMstations. In spite of its many roughedges and monophonic sound, itreceived tremendous audiencereaction. That was about two and halfyears ago. It took us over 6 months toconvince sponsors that it should run onFM was where it was really happening.
JG: How many stations are nowcarrying THE KING BISQUITFLOWER HOUR?
BM: 135.JG: How do you go about selecting
the acts that you present?BM: That's handled by Peter Kauft,
who's been in the rock business forabout 15 years' now. He doesremarkably well from a research andtiming standpoint. For example, whenEdgar Winter was on our show he hadthe number one single and his albumwas in the top five. When J. Giels wason, the same thing. When Steve Millerwas on, the same thing, he had thenumber one single and the number onealbum. Now for our next show, we'vegot the WHO. That's the kind of groupthat you work on and work on until youget. The same with Emerson Lake andPalmer.
JG: Do y 3u actually set up theconcerts to record them?
BM: No, we go to where the concertsare. That's the only way you cancapture a natural spontaneous soundand environment.
JG: How do you record?BM: We use 16 track sound trucks,
take the tapes back to the studio andusually with the help of the groupsthemselves mix them down to quad forradio broadcast. We work with the actson this so that the sound meets theirexpectations. They've all been verycooperative. We just finished recordingStephen Stills in Chicago.
JG: What sort of quad do you use?BM: SQ encoded quad. This allows
every station to play it and the peoplewho have the equipment to hear it. A

NOTESfrom
Jonathan FrickeDue to the Fifth Annual Radio
Seminar in Nashville, many reportswere not received in time for thisweek's column. Therefore, may I takethis opportunity to say "thank you" tothe many people who made my positionas Chairman of the Agenda Committeea very enjoyable and rewarding task.
We certainly hope that those inattendance found the seminarbeneficial. This years participationwas excellent. Your ideas andsuggestions are always welcome. Eachyear the seminar strives to encompassmore information and offer an insightinto today's ever changing radio world.
Hopefully the seminar waschallenging. It is only with positiveprogressive thinking and professionalplanning that country radio cancontinue to advance. "CountryRadio ... Positively" was this year'stheme. If people left the seminar witha positive feeling about the growth andpotential of country radio; plus newideas and concepts to think about, thisyear's conference was a success.
