r-o PITTSnURGH POST-G AZBTTE TUESDAY. FEBRUARY 23, 19')') TELEVISIONRADIO Song placement on TV an integral part of action sion to producers who wanted to use "Have a Little Paith in Me." It has been used more than a dozen times in movies or television shows. "I certainly would think that any time someone can hear your music, possibly for the first time, then that's a good thing," he said. "As far as soaring record sales, I personally haven't exprienced that." It's still lucrative. A television iiroducer generally pays a licensing ee to the song's publisher to use the song, and the writer receives royalties every time it is played.

It isn't always easy to match music and television. Networks like to create their own background music because it's cheaper. Sometimes artists don't want their work on TV or don't like a particular program. TV shows also generally can't afford the typical rate to license songs, so McCullough has to show executives how a discount may pav off later. "They've finally realized the value of 20 million viewers," he said.

Atlantic Records saw the impact on McCain's "I'll Be" almost instantly. Sales of his album more than doubled the week after the song's appearance on "Dawson's Creek," said Linda Ferrando, senior vice president at Atlantic. Anxious to expose its music any way it can, Atlantic has aggressively sought these TV tie-ins. It has a significant advantage: the company's corporate parent, Time Warner, also owns the WB, the hot new network for teen-agers. Corporate synergy makes it easier, for example, for producers with shows on the WB to license songs from Time Warner labels.

But it has its dangers: McCullough said producers of "Dawson's Creek" were pressured to include songs from Time Warner labels, but they've insisted on also using songs from other labels. The executives walk a fine line with viewers. If they include too many Time Warner songs, viewers may suspect the music is a sales pitch instead of a key part of the show. At the end of each "Dawson's Creek," producers flash a graphic giving the name of the artists featured in each show. Again, this is a danger zone: Do viewers consider this helpful information or just another commercial? By David Bauder The Associated Press LOS ANGELES On an early winter's night, songwriter John Hi-att hit the television jackpot.

Joey and Dawson were discussing their relationship again on "Dawson's Creek." A piano in the background heralded Hiatt's 1987 ballad, "Have a Little Faith in Me." Less than an hour later on "Party of Five," Julia and Ned were trying to decide whether to break up. The music came in as an insistent plea: Hiatt's "Have a Little Faith in Me." Watching with a sense of renewed appreciation for her dad was Hiatt's 14-year-old daughter. "My stock went up with her and her friends quite a bit," he said. It did with his record company, too. The placement of songs in TV shows particularly those popular with a teen-aged audience are becoming a potent way to expose music and to juice sales.

It has to be just the right song, though. And just the right moment. Matching the two is the job of people like John McCullough, Hollywood's most respected music supervisor, who recommends songs to television producers to enhance their scenes. Music has long played a vital role in movies, but less so in TV comedies and dramas. McCullough's work has helped change the thinking of TV and music executives.

His placement of an Enya ballad added the perfect touch to a moonlit scene in "Northern Exposure." The BoDeans' "Closer to Free" became a hit song when McCullough suggested it as the theme for "Party of Five." Edwin McCain's "I'll Be" headed to the Top 10 after it was used during a key scene in Dawson and Joey's endless soap opera. Music is also frequently used on "Homicide: Life on the Street," "Providence" and "Beverly Hills 90210." Sometimes musicians come out from the background: "Ally McBeal" has made Vonda Shepard an integral part of the show, "New York Undercover" has acts like Tracy Chapman, Ray Charles and Nancy Wilson perform in a club featured in every episode of the series, and R.E.M. is taping an upcoming appearance on "Party of Five."

Stephen King has an extremely loyal audience." Stephen King's three-part minis-eries "Storm of the Century" did so well in the Nielsen department last week the folks at ABC are already talking to the horrormaster about another.

"We want to be in the Stephen King business," said Susan Lyne, ABC's executive vice president of movies and miniseries. And, she added, he's ready for more. "He loves TV," she said. Lyne said ideas are already being bandied about but declined to discuss specifics. The conclusion of the three-part "Storm" aired Thursday night against NBC's powerhouse lineup including the farewell to George Clooney on "ER" and still generated ABC's best viewer figures for a Thursday with entertainment fare in nearly five years.

The two-hour finale drew 19.2 million viewers, up 155 percent for ABC's usual performance in the time period. For the night, ABC averaged 16.7 million viewers to NBC's 29.2 million viewers. "I'm a little surprised," Lyne said of the numbers. "We're thrilled obviously." "Storm" starred Tim Daly, Deb-rah Farentino and Colm Feore. "This was not just a well-promoted miniseries," Lyne said.

"Viewers KIDS TV: The Kids' WB! Saturday morning schedule, which airs in Pittsburgh on Sunday mornings, edged out Fox Kids in children 2-11 for the first time thanks to the debut of Japanese animated hit, "Poke-mon." Kids' WB! averaged 1.1 million viewers (2.8 rating12 share) in the demographic on Feb. 13, a hair ahead of Fox's average of 1.07 million (2.712) and slightly behind ABC's 1.16 million (2.913), according to Nielsen Media Research. The Kids' WB! performance was the second-best performance for the block, up 17 percent in rating and 20 percent in share from the corresponding Saturday last year. "Pokemon," which is the top-rated kids show in syndication, delivered a 3.915 on the Kids' marking the network's best premiere for a children's series. The show will expand to the Kids' WB! weekday lineup when its syndication run ends this fall.
