NASHVILLE, TENN, (AP) — Belind the Nashville
hillbillies

is a city-slick business and
technological operation.

Supporting folks, country stars like Loretta Lynn
and Conway Twitty are millions of dollars worth of sophi-
sticated equipment, computers and sharp business
executives with a critical eye on the bottom line.

It may look like a simple operation for the Oak Ridge
Boys torstep on stage and sing Elvira, but it takes three
buses and three “18-wheelers” to transport the quartet
and their 36 tonnes of equipment from show to show.

Kathy McClintock, spokesman for the Oak Ridge
Boys, says it costs the flashy group between $7,500 and
$9,000 each concert for sound and lights. Each bus is
valued at $375,000 and the big tractor-trailer rigs are
leased for approximately $60,000 per year apiece, not
inehuding fuel.

Besides a 25-person road crew, 55 other employees
work in other i As sideline the
group owns two ishii a ing studio
and two radio stations.

‘The computer craze has even caught up with Hee
Haw, the syndicated television show portraying country
bumpkins waring overalls while standing in cornfields.

Each segment of the show is time coded, so each
show is laid out by a computer according to the minutes
available.

“It's like fitting pieces into a. jigsaw puzzle,”

said

David Ward, a spokesman for the country music-comedy
show.

uneducated, poor characters they portra:

“It's always amused me that Archie ila Cosmpiell would
do a corn pone segment on the show, then go off and talk
to his stockbroker,” Ward said.

Joe Galante, head of RCA Records in Nashville, says
the music business has grown much more sophisticated
during his 11 years with the company.

Galante said it now costs an average of about
$70,000, and ranges up to $100,000 to produce one album
— four times the figure 11 years ago.

“When I came here, you could produce an album for
$20,000. It was mailed and you had two promotion men
call around. We've gone from a staff of eight or 10 to 30,”
he said.

“There used to be four-color fronts on albums and no
glossies. Today we use four-color on the front and back
with a special inner sleeve.”

Alabama’s When We Make Love didn't make No. 1
on the country charts by accident. RCA has about a dozen
country staff members who contact radio
stations, urging them to play RCA songs such as the June
chart-topper.

Helping the promotion staff and other RCA
employees is a computer which can give them access to
the record charts.

Opinion split on Emmys

NEW YORK (AP) — Opin.
ions about television's Emmy
Awards, not surprisingly,
split along network lines —
depending on who's winning
the prizes. “

NBC, led by Hill Street
Blues, St. Elsewhere and
Cheers, wins the bulk of the
Emmys. The network be
lieves the awards reflect the
best and brightest from the

dent of NBC Entertainment,
says the most worthy series
wins the top awards. “No
body said, Cheers won. Oh,
my God, Alice got stiffed
again,” he said.

But some people who work
for top-rated CBS and ABC
believe the Emmys are elitist
beauty contests that fail to
reflect the preferences of the
voters who count the most —
viewers.

ABC Eni is not
interested in how the indus
try evaluates his programs.
“I,don't care in terms of our
judgement of what quality
is,” he said. “We don't have
to win awards to know what
we think is good.” ;

Erlicht was upset thet
ABC's 18-hour Winds of War
was an Emmy also-ran last
year, despite attracting huge
audiences. “Our belief was
that we had something spe-

cial and unique,” he said.

ABC and CBS say NBC is
winning Emmys now because
their shows are more intel-
lectual and aimed at an urban
audience, thus appealing to
certain viewers whose tastes
are similar to the voters
within the industry. They say
NBC's programming misses
the broader, mainstream au-
dience.

Case in point: the enor-
mously popular ABC soap
opera, .Dynasty won the
People’s Choice awards for
best drama last season, yet it
has never won the Emmy for
outstanding dramatic series.

Aaron Spelling, executive
producer of such hits as
Dynasty, The Love Boat and
T.J. Hooker, says his shows’
content and significance are
targeted lower than Hill
Street Blues. But he doesn't
think that makes shows bad
shows.

Fonyo wasn't
ill-treated?

~ MONTREAL (CP) —
national co-ordinator of Steve
Fonyo's crossCanada mar-
athon for the Canadian Can-
cer Society says complaints
that the one-legged runner
was ill-treated by society
officials in Quebec are em
barrassing and unfair.

At a news conference in
Ottawa on Monday, Fonyo
described the Quebec branch
of the organization as poorly
organized, and his father
accused it of forcing his son
to meet a rigorous schedule
that included detours and
extra kilometres.

No one in the cancer
society's office here could be
reached for comment Tues-
day.

However, Peter Caldwell,
national co-ordinator of Fon.
yo’s Journey for Lives mar
athon, told a Montreal news
paper he was “extremely
shocked, because my feeling
was that they (Quebec offi-
cials) had been doing an
exeellent job.”

There were minor prob-
lems early in the Quebec run,
he said, but they ’ were

When Fonyo
first arrived in Quebec he
was running through small
towns where he was un-
known and donations were
small.

Caldwell, who was at the
Monday news conference,
said most of the complaints
came from the elder Fonyo.
“I really don't know why his
father would choose to make
such complaints,” he said,
adding the whole affair was

Fonyo’s run is a team
effort across Canada, he said,
and “it is a little disturbing to
see that one member of the

The team is denigrating the elf-

orts of another part of the
team.”

The cancer society is on
hand to assist Fonyo, he said.

Caldwell said scheduling
became difficult while Fonyo
was in Quebec when the
runner took about three
weeks off due to medical
problems.

“Everything had to be
checked out,” he said. “Peo-
ple who had originally been
committed to a certain por-
tion of the journey went on

iliar with the area.”

Reagan said in a micro-
phone test before taping a
radio address Saturday: “My
fellow Americans, I'm plea-
sed to tell you today that I've
signed legislation that will
outlaw Russian forever. We
begin bombing in five min-
utes.”

WANTS VIGILANCE

The incident, Zhukov said,
‘serves as yet another affir

maintain vigilance in the face
of the aggressive plans of the
United States and NATO.”

The Soviet news agency
Tass carried an articte from
its reporters in Washington
recounting the criticism of
American public figures and
European leaders.

Reagan's press aides have
refused to confirm or deny

before the radio broadcast,
