KITTS (AP) — Singer Joan Armatrading, whose reggae, folk, pop and rock perfor- mances have made her a hit abroad, is still struggling for stardom in the United States. But in her homeland of St. Kitts, she's still its No. 1 celebrity. “It's been really great,” she said recently when she returned from tha festivities marking the independence of St. Kitts-Nevis. _"Everybody seems to rec- ognize me. The people all ' come up to me to say hellow, or maybe to chit-chat. I feel like I've met the whole is- land.” Armatrading, born in 1950 in a modest home near this harbor city’s waterfront, left with her family for England when she was three years old, and had never been back until this fall. “Tve been just walking down the street trying to visualize and wondering: ‘Have I ever walked down this way before?’ ” Armatrading said, “I went ‘down ana nad asiook at the house /where I was born. There were two bedrooms, and I don’t know which I was supposed to have been born in. So I was just standing in each one, trying to conjure up memories. “It’s a very strange feeling to come back to the isiand where I was born; I really don't know anything about the island, its culture, history or music,” said Armatrading, whose soft, Birmingham, England, accent gives little hint of her husky, powerful ityle. ae pa in her nine- album repertroire indicate reggae roots, But she said her music has little to do with her Caribbean background. “I never heard much West Indies music,” she said. ‘Tm not sure what West Indies music is, actually. I like calypso, and I like reggae. “But I don't think I was in the West Indies long enough to pick up any lasting influ- ence, apart from my color. The daughter of a bus driver, Armatrading learned to play and write music on her own. She joined in with her mother on the piano and taught herself to play her father's guitar. Her songs include folksy ballads, dance music, tunes with feminist messages and rock with sexual overtones. Despite 20 gold records internationally — with most sales in Europe and Australia — Armatrading has yet to hit 600,600 in U.S. sdies iof aay of her albums. But two songs on her latest LP, The Key, are getting wide airplay in the U.S. She recently completed a Canadian-Americantour that consistently drew sold-out audiences in small halls rang- ing up Lo 9,000 seats. She be- lieves success in North America is simply a matter of time. Video art featured at high school On Nov. 22 and 28 the Vancouver Art Gallery Ex- expression.

TV network to help it in its struggle for survival. High costs and few buyers are the roots of the trouble, but Star Channel hopes to get started toward a sound financial footing by using the signal of Superchannel Ontario, says Finlay MacDonald, Star Channel president. On Oct. 4, Star applied to the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission to carry the Super- channel Ontario signal. Thirteen days later, Saperchannel endorsed the proposal in a written statement to the CRTC. The CRTC must first approve any such STAR CHANNEL CUTTING COSTS _, MacDonald said that under the plan there would be no change in Star ownership or management. _The purpose, he said, is to reduce Star's costs until the number of subscribers grows. Star's satellite costs now are about $1.5 million a year. By sharing Superchannel’s satellite signal, Star will cut costs significantly. without lessening its product, MacDonald INTERIM MEASURE “We have attacked (cutting costs) every way we can and we see this as an interim measure until such time as our subscriber base will support our costs," MacDonald said in said. an interview. s h with Superchannel, the pay network controlled by Allarcom Ltd. of Edmonton, ident Steven Harris said his company and Star have been closely allied since pay TV was introduced in Canada. Superchannel: has been. buying programs for all of ‘Canada's regional pay networks, ‘including Star and TVEC in Quebec. h hundreds of ‘th of el struggles for survival sion to operate in Quebec, a market MacDonald said is virtu- ally untapped. Star now owes Sup dollars for programs. S One of Star's big problems has been cracking the crucial Halifax market. Although:the eight-month-old service has about 14,500 subscribers in Atlantic Canada, it has fewer than 1,000 customers in Halifax, a city of 130,000, But until recently, it cost a subscriber, $200 — in addition to the monthly fees —.to sign up for pay TV from Halifax Cablevision. By contrast, subscribers in most other areas of Canada could be connected to pay TV for as little as a $35 refundable deposit. Halifax Cablevision has ‘recently lowered the installa- tion cost, but it is still about $70. Star Channel also recently asked the CRTC for permis- Cable 10 TV SHAW Cable 10 Access Television ., _.

If it’s a hit, it may open in April on Broadway, he said, With: a book by Julian Barry, Jean Seberg is based on the tragic life of the small-town Iowa girl who at 17 achieved instant film fame, then went from glam- orous highs to agonized lows. In 1979, she was found dead at 40 in Paris, the victim of an apparent overdose of bar- biturates. Her former husband, nov- elist Romain Gary, later ac- cused the FBI of driving her to suicide by planting a rumor she once was pregnant by a member of the Black Panther party. In 1980, the FBI admitted its Los Angeles bureau sug- gested the rumor as part of a campaign — which the FBI says it never will do again — FIN zat not writing a ‘downer,’ a de- pressing evening.” “What we're- writing is, I think, a very moving story,” e said. “And it’s not just about Jean Seberg.

However, on Nov. 29 in Vancouver, the CRTC will hold public hearings in response to a call from the federal cabinet for clarification of the confused state of the industry. Cabinet wants to clarify the role of national and regional pay TV networks, in light of the decision to allow Super- channel to expand into the north and west. When Superchannel applied for rights to expand its licence in the west and north, First Choice argued that Superchannel was becoming a national service and should not be allowed to do so because, among other things, it does not have to bili I service it operates. . Meanwhile, First Choice, the sole national pay TV network, is: expected to intervene to object to the Star-Superchannel deal.
