"The bottom line is, I can't hold a job," he said. Right. Get your resumes ready, Channel 2.

It sounds like revolving door time. NETWORK NEWS WARS CBS has abandoned plans to push for a one-hour evening newscast, explaining that the recent expansion of the "CBS Morning News" and announcement of a fall start-up for a new 2-5 a.m. weeknight news program have made the extra half-hour of Dan Rather unnecessary for the time being. neaus win run. That is the assessment of both Channel 2 (WJBK) insiders and those familiar with the Bill Flynn operates.

I. Fiynn js the new vice-president and gen-. eral manager at the Storer Broadcasting station in Southfield. He succeeds Bob I'. McBride, who was dumped in an abrupt unsurprising chief executive switch -Monday.

The ratings at Channel 2, particularly the I vital news numbers, have gone from bad to worse the past 18 months. It was only a matter of time until Storer made a change, And it certainly won't be the last. ,7 Low morale has cramped the working -atmosphere at Channel 2 for some time. And Cthat attitude has seeped into the often ama- i'teurish look of the Channel 2 news and the other programming, such as the "currently suspended "Morning Magazine." Flynn, departing as head of Storer-. WJKW in Cleveland, flies into De-, troit today to meet with the Channel 2 staff top shows 'Oscar' 0NTV Movie "Kill and Kill Again" (1981) James Ryan, Anneline Kriel.

A top Cleveland sportscaster at WJKW had an agent Flynn disliked and refused to deal with. The sportscaster bolted the station and Flynn shed neither tears nor ratings. He fired another employe in Cleveland by calling him on the carpet and essentially saying, "Get out. I don't want to see you again." "He's a bare knuckles sort of guy," said a Cleveland newspaper reporter who has covered Flynn and respects the man's forth-rightness. "He's straight and direct.

He does like to cut the figure of the buccaneer." THE ONE THING this video swashbuck-; ler understands is results. He's got a bottom line that reveres what works. Even a beauty queen playing anchor, Flynn recently placed a former Miss America runner-up with only one year's TV experience into the key position of co-anchor on WJKW's 6 p.m. and 11 p.m. news.

The woman's lack of journalistic credentials meant little to Flynn. "It doesn't bother me a bit, as long as that's what people want to watch," he said in a phone interview Monday. A lot more people watch WJKW in Cleveland today than in 1976 when Flynn first arrived. Storer's betting Mr. Fixit can work his magic again.

Flynn has denied he is a corporate hatchet man and has engaged in a little self- at 3 p.m. THE KEY PEOPLE who appear to be on the thinnest ice are news director Mike Von Ende and director of broadcasting Dave 1 2" Bieber.

As ratings grew, so did the profits. Storer loves Flynn. "He's always been Storer's trouble shooter," a source at WJKW in Cleveland said of Flynn. "They always send him in to clean places up."
