European Media Face Turning Point In 1987
Top 40 Format Reaches Saturationby Machgiel Bakker & Cathy Inglis

Over the last few years commercial radios have been increasing at a steady pace and, insome countries, such as Italy, at an alarming rate. In 1986 several of these stations slowly
started disappearing faced with insufficient markets and heavy competition, but the fact
remains that private commercial radios are more established now than they have ever been.
While the arrival of the firm private
stations in Germany three years ago
caused tremendous competition forthe public broadcasters, the firstsigns of panic seem to have fadedaway and the ARD stations havefound ways to cope. This year alone

the Hamburg area welcomed four
new private radio stations, proving
wise major competition for the public broadoster NDR. Of these four,Radio Schleswig Holstein in Kiel
has started programming this year,
already drawing large amounts oflisteners away from NDR. Radio

despite the Dutch legal limitations

experiment is feasible."Its neighbouring country. Belgium has ,lot of pirate radios (the socalled 'free' radios) although mostof them only have influence in theirrestricted local areas. Claude
Delacroix, programme director at
RTHF's Radio 21 in Belgium, foresees a decrease in the amount of FM
stations following the application of
the frequency planning jointly

agreed upon with the Minister ofCulture and the Minister of Communications. Free FM radios wen

thing is to be complacent, the morestations spring up, the better:.
comments Rik de Lisle, producer at
Berlin -based R1AS (Radio In The
American Sector). "However," deLisle continues, "the mushroomingof the privates have caused loran
oversaturation of the Top 40 format.
I foresee an emergence of new formats, with all the privates reaching

their demographic audiences with
Top 40 fornsats, there is a lot left forthe public broadcasters, like MOR
or 'Schlager' formats.""The worst thing is to becomplacent, the more stations spring up, the better."
The issue of 'new formats' israised again by Lex Harding, Pm gramme Director Veronica Radio in
Holland. According to Harding,Veronica adheres to its 'Progressive
Top 40' format whilst also experimenting with different formata during their satellite radio experimentin conjunction with Europa Television (see M&M July 26). "During
these 24 hours a day of broadcast-ing, we installed a new format,
Adult Contemporary Hit Radio."says Harding.

"It proves that,guideline but not too strict. They

Commercial radios have become an integral part of the media

The BBC is surviving healthily

position therefore gives them ceradvantages over both theperipherals and the smaller FM stations. According to NRI's director,
Jean -Paul Baudecroux, "the CNCL

now has been reached (figures estimate some 4000 official radio stations), even cutting in on sales.
With Italy being the trendsetter inthe establishment of commercial radio, France certainly has learnt
from their mistakes.

1987 will herald the arrival of MTV

in Europe and much of its successwill be dependent on the cable uptake in Europe. In the UK and Germany, cabling is very underdeveloped, but other territories

predicts: "What will really take off

by Paid Sexton

When 1986 got going, Britain's
bestselling single was 'Merry
Christmas Everyone' by Shakin'
Stevens. That was replaced by oneof the most commercial new acts of
the year, the Pet Shop Boys with
'West End Girls. It's been that kindof a year, but then it always is in
Britain: for every promising, emergent new British act, there's a dun
aberration to maintain the British
record -buying public's reputation
as perhaps the most eccentric in theworld. For every Blow Monkeys,
there was an Anita Dohs on. For
every Housemartins, there was a
Spitting Image.
Still, there's something endear-ing about the fact that, now morethan ever, all kinds of records canbe hits in Britain. It's just sometimes a little disappointing that thekind we happen to like, quality,
melodic rock and pop, doesn't get
the exposure it desperately needs.
Into that category would definitely
fall, perhaps the most exciting new
UK act to emerge over the last 12
months without collecting any chart
honours, World Party. We've cham-Shies In CONTROL
