THE WEEKLY UPDATE ON THE ilK RADIO INDUSTRY
THREE
'l'bree COIIIIIercial stations have been
fined £1000 each by the Radio
Authority, two for "a serious breach
, of the licence conditions" that
require them to record their entire
output, and one for failure to camply
with its Promise Of Performance.
Buzz FM,iBirmingham and Kinster
FM/York's negligence to make
recardinqs became apparent when
listeners filed canplaints about
programning they had heard. The Radio
Authority's standard procedure is to
demand a cassette tape copy fran the
relevant station of the offending
output in order to decide whether the
complaint is valid.
Buzz FM blamed "a fault with the '
logging machine" while Kinster FM
said there were "teething problems"
with its recorders during its first
few weeks on-air. Buzz had to
substitute written music logs and
Minster pr;ovided a "reconstruction"
of the progranma ~nt for the
Radio Authority to determine the
validity of the caoplaints, both of
which it eventually dismissed.
The third station, 096 FM/Paisley,
was fined for failing to provide
eight daily local news bulletins,
each at least three minutes long, as
STATIONS FACE FINES
required by its Promise Of
Performance. It claimed this was
''because of inexperience, untried
staff and the early pressures of a
newborn station", but the Authority
upheld the comp-laint as a
"fundamental breach" of licence
conditions.
Two other justified complaints
concerned ccanents made on-air about
the Duchess of York, one for
"excessive use of bad language" by a
Moray Firth/Inverness phone-in host,
including the phrase "Fergie's tits",
the other for an LBC afternoon
presenter's reference to her as "a
stnJnpet".
The Authority also upheld' complaints
against two restricted service
licensees for [LT/Glasgow's
afternoon broadcast of the
unexpurgated version of Prince's You
S-M, and for a Link FM/Havering
breakfast show guest who used the
words "you fucking prick".
Other recent warranted ccaplaints
include: an LBC/boodon interview with
a manufacturer of car number plates
that avoid police detection equipment
who was invited to give his ccapany's
name and phone nllDber;
Spectrum/London's broadcast in its
RADIO DIARY
Arab progranme of a poem inciting
hatred and murder of Jews; Southern
Sound/Brighton's evening news
bulletin graphically reporting
details of a man who strangled his
girlfriend during sex; and a Chiltern
Supergold/Luton presenter's undue
endorsement of a holiday caupany
advertising on the station.
lrongst caaplaints the Authority
dismissed were: an allegation that an
expletive was uttered in the
background of Classic FM's birdsong
test tape; a complaint that Mercia
FM/Coventry closed its
Warwick/Leamington relay transmitter;
an accusation that the owner of
Spectrum/London's Arabic service is
connected with the Iraqi regime; and
a Classic FM listener who, after 45
minutes, concluded the station was
"an insult to music and musicians".
**** In America, WALE/Providence
morning DJ Geaff Charles is being
sued by traffic warden Valerie Perry,
who he called a "fat black bitch" on
air when she stuck a ticket on his
car parked outside the studio. The
station was disciplined by the FCC
authority last year for falsely
telling listeners that one of its DJs
had been shot.

INDEPENDENTS • DAYS
BBC Radio is organising a series of
one-day seminars this auttmm for
independent production companies
intending to sell programmes to the
five national networks as part of
their declared 10% "indie" quota.
Attendance on the Independents' Day
courses will cost participants £200
per person, though this will be
refunded should the BBC decide to
purchase one of their productions.
In addition to seminars discussing
how to submit a progranrne proposal,
technical quality, contracts and
costings, each delegate will be given
an accompanying handbook, a set of
BBC Guidelines and cassette
recordings of pertinent Q&A sessions
with Radio MD David Hatch and the
five Network Controllers.
Glyn Jones of BBC Radio Training says
attendance is not a "qualifying
hurdle" for a successful coomission,
though the seminars will convey
"masses of useful information". He is
circulating a questionnaire to
interested parties to elicit opinions
on their exact format. Initial
responses suggest that independent
radio production is unlikely to
number as many as sixty companies,
even by 1996/7.
**** Radio 5 is requesting bids fran
independent producers for contracts
to supply three of its live weekly
evening youth progranmes. The three
shows must reflect the North,
Midlands and South regions of
England, and will replace similar
output presently produced by BBC
Regional Centres. Tender documents
are available fran the Radio 5
Controller.
CHRISTMAS CRACK.ER
Radio Cracker, the temporary
pre-Christmas station raising funds
for third world charities, is about
to finalise a deal with BSkyB to
broadcast on one of the Astra
satellite radio channels. These
transmissions will then he relayed
overnight by the project's 85 local
FM stations if they are unable to
originate their own prograoming.
The Radio Cracker station in Harrow
is to provide the llpm to 7am
sustaining service, as well as hourly
news bulletins throughout the day,
and its studios will he linked by BT
landline to a satellite uplink at
Euston. Direct bane reception of the
station across Europe will he
possible for the first time.
Last year the nationwide schaoe,
based on a network of local church
groups, raised over £~ by using the
slogan "Tune In, Pay Outt!, a target
it aims to beat in this year's
one"1OClllth marathon broadcast starting
28th Nov.
Basic radio studio equipnent - mics,
turntables, mixer, cartridges et a1 -
is urgently needed ON LOAN to
cauplete the Harrow studios. Offers,
however antiquated, will he
gratefully received by Rob Lancaster
on 081-907-698~.
**** Solar Radio's Astra satellite
service has closed, following several
roonths of test broadcasts. Another
Astra station, Euronet, now carries
progranmes by Israeli Voice Of Peace
founder Abi Nathan.

OPINION
The public campaign against the BBC's
decision to remove RADIO 4 from
longwave is less remarkable for its
substantive argunent than for the
coverage itbas earned in the
broadsheet press. Anyone would think
the station itself was under threat
of abolition, judging by the
listenership's hostility and their
threat (now suspended) to march upon
Broadcasting House.
In fact, the network is merely
relinquishing one of several channels
it presently uses for simultaneous
transmissions, a wasteful practice
lingering from the days when the BBC
was the only radio broadcaster. The
government has belatedly tackled such
anachronisms, forcing the Corporation
to either provide distinct services
on its frequencies or hand them over
to commercial radio.
Two years ago RADIO 2 lost its
medium wave channels to the new
RADIO 5 network. Last year RADIO

SAVE R.ADIO 4
3 sacrificed its medium wave
frequency, which had always been
plagued by nighttime interference
from Radio Albania, to too
VirginITY-AM rock station opening
next year. Soon RADIO 1 will cease
transmissions on 275/285 AM, to be
replaced by a commerci~l talk station
in 1995.
None of this rationalisation
precipitated the kind of outcry that
now surrounds the Radio 4 plan,
despite sports fans having lost
ball-by-ball cricket commentary this
season as a direct result of the
Radio 3 change. Music radio stations
have commonly lost presenters,
changed progranmes, and virtually
abandoned their formats with
impunity, merely ruffling a few
feathers and causing some protest
letters. But 00 one started a mass
campaign to tear up their TV licences
(which pay for radio) or demanded the
resignation of the BBC Chairman.

LONGWAVE?
Bizarrely, the BBC's proposal will
actually increase the choice
available to Radio 4 listeners by
replacing its longwave relay with a
national all-news network in 1994,
thus satisfying current affairs
junkies frustrated by LBC's slide
towards trivialisation and Tory
dogma. But the protesters are simply
averse to change, any change, and
would rather see Radio 4 fossilise
than keep up with the 90s.
And the quality press, whose
newsrooms commonly listen to Radio 4
for tips and quotes, oblige by
aCCOlllllOdating the protesters who form
tbeir ABCI readerships. When Radio 1
sacked DJ Janice Long; when Capital
Radio abandoned its specialist music
prograomes; when Spectrum incited the
murder of Jews in its Arab progranme,
you probably didn't read about it.

Buzz FM,iBirmingham and Kinster FM/York's negligence to make recardinqs became apparent when listeners filed canplaints about programning they had heard. The Radio Authority's standard procedure is to demand a cassette tape copy fran the relevant station of the offending output in order to decide whether the complaint is valid. Buzz FM blamed "a fault with the ' logging machine" while Kinster FM said there were "teething problems" with its recorders during its first few weeks on-air. Buzz had to substitute written music logs and Minster pr;ovided a "reconstruction" of the progranma ~nt for the Radio Authority to determine the validity of the caoplaints, both of which it eventually dismissed. The third station, 096 FM/Paisley, was fined for failing to provide eight daily local news bulletins, each at least three minutes long, as STATIONS FACE FINES required by its Promise Of Performance. It claimed this was ''because of inexperience, untried staff and the early pressures of a newborn station", but the Authority upheld the comp-laint as a "fundamental breach" of licence conditions. Two other justified complaints concerned ccanents made on-air about the Duchess of York, one for "excessive use of bad language" by a Moray Firth/Inverness phone-in host, including the phrase "Fergie's tits", the other for an LBC afternoon presenter's reference to her as "a stnJnpet". The Authority also upheld' complaints against two restricted service licensees for [LT/Glasgow's afternoon broadcast of the unexpurgated version of Prince's You S-M, and for a Link FM/Havering breakfast show guest who used the words "you fucking prick". Other recent warranted ccaplaints include: an LBC/boodon interview with a manufacturer of car number plates that avoid police detection equipment who was invited to give his ccapany's name and phone nllDber; Spectrum/London's broadcast in its RADIO DIARY Arab progranme of a poem inciting hatred and murder of Jews; Southern Sound/Brighton's evening news bulletin graphically reporting details of a man who strangled his girlfriend during sex; and a Chiltern Supergold/Luton presenter's undue endorsement of a holiday caupany advertising on the station. lrongst caaplaints the Authority dismissed were: an allegation that an expletive was uttered in the background of Classic FM's birdsong test tape; a complaint that Mercia FM/Coventry closed its Warwick/Leamington relay transmitter; an accusation that the owner of Spectrum/London's Arabic service is connected with the Iraqi regime; and a Classic FM listener who, after 45 minutes, concluded the station was "an insult to music and musicians". **** In America, WALE/Providence morning DJ Geaff Charles is being sued by traffic warden Valerie Perry, who he called a "fat black bitch" on air when she stuck a ticket on his car parked outside the studio. The station was disciplined by the FCC authority last year for falsely telling listeners that one of its DJs had been shot. 24 OC'I' }IUS STUDENT PIED!!

  • 2. INDEPENDENTS • DAYS BBC Radio is organising a series of one-day seminars this auttmm for independent production companies intending to sell programmes to the five national networks as part of their declared 10% "indie" quota. Attendance on the Independents' Day courses will cost participants £200 per person, though this will be refunded should the BBC decide to purchase one of their productions. In addition to seminars discussing how to submit a progranrne proposal, technical quality, contracts and costings, each delegate will be given an accompanying handbook, a set of BBC Guidelines and cassette recordings of pertinent Q&A sessions with Radio MD David Hatch and the five Network Controllers. Glyn Jones of BBC Radio Training says attendance is not a "qualifying hurdle" for a successful coomission, though the seminars will convey "masses of useful information". He is circulating a questionnaire to interested parties to elicit opinions on their exact format. Initial responses suggest that independent radio production is unlikely to number as many as sixty companies, even by 1996/7. **** Radio 5 is requesting bids fran independent producers for contracts to supply three of its live weekly evening youth progranmes. The three shows must reflect the North, Midlands and South regions of England, and will replace similar output presently produced by BBC Regional Centres. Tender documents are available fran the Radio 5 Controller. CHRISTMAS CRACK.ER Radio Cracker, the temporary pre-Christmas station raising funds for third world charities, is about to finalise a deal with BSkyB to broadcast on one of the Astra satellite radio channels. These transmissions will then he relayed overnight by the project's 85 local FM stations if they are unable to originate their own prograoming.

The station celebrates its OPINION The public campaign against the BBC's decision to remove RADIO 4 from longwave is less remarkable for its substantive argunent than for the coverage itbas earned in the broadsheet press. Anyone would think the station itself was under threat of abolition, judging by the listenership's hostility and their threat (now suspended) to march upon Broadcasting House. In fact, the network is merely relinquishing one of several channels it presently uses for simultaneous transmissions, a wasteful practice lingering from the days when the BBC was the only radio broadcaster. The government has belatedly tackled such anachronisms, forcing the Corporation to either provide distinct services on its frequencies or hand them over to commercial radio. Two years ago RADIO 2 lost its medium wave channels to the new RADIO 5 network.

Send cassettes to: Earshot, Kt Box 370, Glasgow G12 8XY ****A***** SAVE R.ADIO 4 3 sacrificed its medium wave frequency, which had always been plagued by nighttime interference from Radio Albania, to too VirginITY-AM rock station opening next year. Soon RADIO 1 will cease transmissions on 275/285 AM, to be replaced by a commerci~l talk station in 1995. None of this rationalisation precipitated the kind of outcry that now surrounds the Radio 4 plan, despite sports fans having lost ball-by-ball cricket commentary this season as a direct result of the Radio 3 change. Music radio stations have commonly lost presenters, changed progranmes, and virtually abandoned their formats with impunity, merely ruffling a few feathers and causing some protest letters. But 00 one started a mass campaign to tear up their TV licences (which pay for radio) or demanded the resignation of the BBC Chairman. kd lang is In Concert (RADIO 1 9-1Opm) and Candi Statoo boards Gloria Gaynor's Gospel Train (RADIO 2 9.45-l0.3Opm) on Thu 29th *AAAA*A*** Singer Andy Prior, supposedly described by Frank Sinatra as his "natural successor", appears on the RADIO 2 Arts Progranme (Fri 30th lO-midnight) UUAAU** THE RADIO ACADERY presents A Celebration Of Music Radio dinner with John Peel and Jonathan King at London's Hard Rock Cafe from 7pm on Thu 19th Nov. £15 tickets from 071-323-3837 ********** The Broadcasting Standards Council has rejected a listener's complaint about explicit sexual references in an edition of RADIO WM's youth show Samantha's Sunday Night Party that discussed the correct use of condoms ********** Can debt-ridden Gloucester satellite station QOALITY EUROPE nI be serious about plans to ·"rescue" RADIO LODlIIlOORG's dying satellite service? ********** This week's atJ conference in New York includes college radio sessions entitled ''Why Can't Jobnny ProgrlllJlle?" and "Activism .At Your Radio Station" ****- Tbe Prince Of Wales has written to BBC Chairman Marmaduke Hussey about plans to remove RADIO 4 from longwave ********** Dolly Parton plays a radio talk show host in oor new film smAIGHT !ALl: for whicA she wrote ten songs ********** LONGWAVE? Bizarrely, the BBC's proposal will actually increase the choice available to Radio 4 listeners by replacing its longwave relay with a national all-news network in 1994, thus satisfying current affairs junkies frustrated by LBC's slide towards trivialisation and Tory dogma. But the protesters are simply averse to change, any change, and would rather see Radio 4 fossilise than keep up with the 90s. And the quality press, whose newsrooms commonly listen to Radio 4 for tips and quotes, oblige by aCCOlllllOdating the protesters who form tbeir ABCI readerships. When Radio 1 sacked DJ Janice Long; when Capital Radio abandoned its specialist music prograomes; when Spectrum incited the murder of Jews in its Arab progranme, you probably didn't read about it.
