He said that tne station "hopes to continue to experiment with local, live programming." "The Phil Donahue Show," which is owned by WLWT but originates from WGN, Chicago, was sold with the station to Multimedia as was the children's programming unit run by Tom Robertson. WLWT's coverage of Reds, Bengals and Stingers games has been contracted "well Into the future" Bartlett said and will continue to air over Channel 5 under the new ownership.

WGUC-FM, 7 p.m. By JOSEPH THESKEN Copley News Service HOLLYWOOD Brent Musburger is that youthful-looking, clean-shaven face smiling out at you every Sunday afternoon on CBS-TV's "The NFL Today." He gives the sports fans what they want the scores of the games in the NFL, pregame and postgame ac-tivities and timely data on the troops out in the field during the regular season. From where we sit, it looks like a plush job. First of all, he's situated inside a studio, so he doesn't have to "battle snowstorms or stacked-up traffic. Second, he is flanked by one AM Radio Closure of the sale and the actual transfer of ownership is, according to WLW-T general manager Walter Bartlett, to take place about March 1.

ONCE THE flagship of a four-station network owned by Crosley Broadcasting, later AVCO, WLWT was the last remaining television property in the AVCO stable. WLW-I (Indianapolis and WLW-C, Columbus) stations were sold separately; license transfer for those stations has already received FCC approval. WLW-D (Dayton) has been sold, but approval of the transfer has not yet been announced. Bartlett said Friday that no changes in WLWT management or operation are expected once the deal is closed with Multimedia. "We anticipate," he said, "that WLWT will be operated to serve Cincinnati exactly as In the past." No personnel changes are expected, he said, "none of any importance or severity." of the prettiest sportscasters on the air PVi vl P.onrao whn umnlrl light mm A WCET-TV 19 WXIX-TV ITV WHIOTV CBS 2WLWD-TV NBC WCPO-TV CBS WKRC-TV ABC 12 "tO PBS WLWT-TV NBC en anyone's day.

Third, he's in the field he likes best sports. BUT EVEN the Garden of Eden apparently had its pitfalls. In Mus-. burger's case, there's too much of a thing. His chief complaint is that there's too much to cover in the time that is allotted him.

He began as a sports reporter on the Chicago American, then went over to station WBBM-TV in Chicago. He Joined CBS-TV last summer. Television is still new enough to him that he looks at his work on "NFL Today" critically and hopes to improve his delivery. "Every time I replay a live broadcast, I think I should have said this or that," he commented. "I'm never quite satisfied with what I've said." TO HIS MIND, the gridiron is where the action is for TV viewers: "In terms of television, pro football is the best sport because of the way it translates onto the screen.

You have 22 men on the field, colliding. In baseball, there is only one play at a time. "Tennis translates well on TV, but there's not enough numbers so far. Television has popularized gymnastics and figure skating, for example, because there Is beauty and grace in those sports." a ioi easier 10 ao: THERE'S NO way to satisfy everybody when you're broadcasting a sports event, Musburger said.

gross misunderstanding of the farmers in this nation. He has asked the farmers to produce fence row to fence row, to use every available acre of land. We've been told that farmers could end up with another Dust Bowl if they get a bad drought because so much of the land is being used rather than lying fallow." Rumpza said that if anything, funds for soil conservation should be increased rather than decreased. Lowell Gose, president of the Iowa Farmers Union, asked Butz about government target prices for crops in light of a recent report showing increased production costs. "I'll tell you something, Mr.

Farmers Union man," Butz said. "I don't want to see agriculture get back into the sterile position it was for 40 years because of any guarantee about farmers and their cost of production.

By Associated Press Farmers were up in arms Friday over Agriculture Secretary Earl Butz' claim that a government program providing millions of dollars for things like soil conservation is a waste of money.

Ronny White, one of a three-member board that administers the program in Texas County, said, "I certainly don't feel the money is wasted It's used on very useful projects. I don't know what the farmer would do without it." i This was not the first time Butz1 aroused the ire of farmers. He also recently criticized some agricultural co-operatives and farm groups which attacked him for supporting the temporary embargo on grain sales to Russia. Consumer groups, meanwhile, repeatedly have ac-! cused the secretary and his department of ignoring their interests. BUTZ, SPEAKING to a farmers group in Iowa earlier this week, saidj the Agricultural Conservation Pro-i gram is simply "the rural' Albert Says Reagan Has Changed President WASHINGTON (AP) House Speaker Carl Albert says President Ford may be laying a trap for himself and Insuring a Democratic presidential victory by trying too hard for the support of Republican congressman's pork barrel conservatives.

nine-tenths of this is a waste of money." Iowa state officials said the $6.8 million they get will be used for Mr. Ford's competition with former California Gov. Ronald Reagan for the nomination heightens the chances that the President will continue to confront the Democratic Congress with vetoes of bills pushed to stimulate employment, Albert said in an interview. "highly-visible, long-life (conserva tion) practices." told reporters in Chicago that the primary battle between Mr. Ford and Reagan will not hurt the party.

Democratic state chairmen gathered in New Orleans, drawing up a campaign for 25 of the most important states for the 1976 campaign. Robert Shalne, a supporter of Sen. Hubert Humphrey (D-Minn.) opened a campaign office in Manchester, N.H. Humphrey has said repeatedly he is not running. Sen.

Reagan campaigned Friday in New Hampshire, answering questions in Dublin about his proposal to transfer various social programs to the states. "Instead of the government collecting the money, shipping it to Washington, and then shipping it back again, where there's a freight charge, they ought to leave the taxing sources at the local level," Reagan declared.

In further political developments: Republican National Chairwoman Mary Louise Smith Russia May Buy More U.S. Grain WASHINGTON (AP) A senior Agriculture Department official said Friday that he personally believes the Soviet Union will buy more U.S. grain this season but that so far there is no solid evidence that they will. Asst. secretary Richard E.

Bell, who oversees international affairs and commodities programs, told reporters that one of the problems has been that grain has moved so rapidly to the Soviet Union that port and internal transportation facilities have not been able to keep pace. The Soviet Union has bought 13.2 million metric tons of U.S. wheat and corn for 1975-76 to bolster its skimpy harvest last year.

"MrMIM.AN ANI) WIFE Mcwrv ri NEW YORK (AP) A 40 plurality of Americans feel that President Ford lacks the intelligence and qualifications to be a first-rate president, a Harris poll shows. Of those surveyed, 39 said he is qualified. The rest are undecided. "It is no longer a matter of his not being on the job long enough," the pollster said Thursday. "More basically, people are questioning his capacity to define properly the problems facing the country and to lead." A 25 to 62 majority doesn't trust the Republican president's understanding of the financial bind facing many American families and by 59 to 23 those sampled feel he lacks experience in foreign affairs, the pollster said.

The survey of 1394 adults in the last 10 days of 1975 also showed that by 57 to 20, the respondents felt that Ford and the Republican party are too close to big business. By 51 to 34, those queried also said that Ford seemed more concerned with getting elected in November than in running the country. The pollster said that despite Ford's "reputation as a man of impeccable personal integrity," he has "failed to convince large numbers of Americans that he has the qualities that inspire confidence in the White House."
