FAB FOUR FIND
PLENTY OF
AIR TIME

By ANDREW

HOUSTON (AP) — Radio station KYST-AM played
the Beatles first big American hit, I Wanna Hold Your
Hand, at 6 a.m. on May 9.

Since then, KYST has broadcast only records
featuring John, Paul, George and Ringo and has become
the only all-Beatles station in the United States.

Cat Simon, the station's opérations manager, says
the idea was born of desperation. Faced with 89
competing stations in a decling AM market, the small
(5,000-watt) KYST was left with almost no audience.

something different,” Simon says. “Different, but some-
thing that would be a viable format. It would be silly to do
something to get everybody’: 8 attention, and then drop it
two weeks later.”

Executives at KYST found radio consultant Todd
Wallace's idea for “narrowcasting” attractive.

“We're not asking you to listen 24 hours a day,”
Simon says. “But if you ever want to hear the Beatles,
you'll know exactly where to come. If you'll listen to us
three or four times a day for two or three songs, you'll get
your Beatles fix, and we'll get stronger ratings.”

DRAWS MORE LIS’

So far, the plan seems to have worked. Birch Radio, a
ratings service, reports an increase in the station's
audience by midsummer, and station manager Roy
Hendérson says his own research found “in axcess of 800
per cent” more listeners since the switch. *

Nostalgia for the Beatles and their music is a
powerful draw, the station has discovered.

“A lot of people remember what they were doing the
first time they heard this Beatles song or that Beatles
song,” Simon says. “Because they are emotionally
attached to the music, they are emotionally attached to
the radio station.”

In addition to the music, KYST also profits from sur-
viving Beatle-mania with a number of 80-second features
which Wallace, who is from Phooats, ipensporated in the
format he devised.

“We felt that in order to stand out, we had to do ,

.. One chronicles the history of the group. Another
parcels out beatles trivia (guitar wizard Eric Clapton, not
George Harrison, played the lead on While my Guitar

Gently Weeps). Yet another is a collection of tapes from —

Beatles concerts all over the world.

Wallace says he came up with the idea for an
all-Beatles station in 1976 while looking at a list of 500
songs that members of a survey group named as their
favorite oldies,

“About,200 were Beatles songs,” he says. “Te began
to kick into my mind: “My gosh, that's a format unto,
itself.”

A subsequent study found that 80 per cent of the
listeners in the target 18-to-44 age group said they would
tell a friend about an all-Beatles station soon after.
hearing of it. Of that group, 60 per cent said they would
tune in to such a station within a week of hearing about it,

and 92 per cent said they liked the Beatles.

“The Beatles had strength down to the age of 12,”
Wallace says. “They had strength all the way up to the
age of 49,”

For the sake of comparison, Wallace did similar
studies on the idea of all-Elvis, all-Rolling Stones,
all-Sinatra and all- Beach Boys stations, No one came close
to the, Beatles.

Simon says the variety of sounds and the group's
continued popularity gives him faith the idea will not
burn out.

What's even more assuring, Simon says, is that
school children hearing the Beatles for the first time seem
fascinated.

“The first day I was on the air, I got a call from an
11-year-old girl who said: “I never knew Paul McCartney
was in another group before Wings,” Simon says.
