the Cincinnati Esomnt Friday, June 10, 1977 Football won't re-Empt oO Minutes By GARYDEEB Chicago Tribune Enqdrer It often was abbreviated by a slow-paced football game. Sometimes it was pre-empted entirely. But when it did get on the air even in a shortened version it invariably was one of America's most popular prime-time television Giles To Columbus Cable By STEVE HOFFMAN Enquirer TV-Radio Editor Ron Giles, who created the top-rated "Juvenile Court" on Channel 9 Is leaving WCPO-TVs executive producer post to help create local live programming on Warner Communications' extensive cable system In the Columbus area. His i responsibilities will include 18 daily program hours on "Columbus Alive" on one of the system's 30 channels. He leaves TV 9 and his latest creation, the "In Person" monthly series, June 17.

Giles came here in September, 1974 from WBNS-TV, Columbus. He Is a native of New Boston. A TWO-YEAR funding project, Warner's Columbus system intends to prove that programming systems in metropolitan areas have great investment potential. Warner has 138 systems in the U. S.

Its Columbus system now has a third of a potential 100,000 homes in the city's northwest and far east sectors. Mike Dann, former CBS-TV program chief, Is consultant to the system. One of the three program executives at Columbus, Giles also will serve as a producer along with importees from Houston and New York. His channel will consist of community service programs, utilizing two-way capability. THE SYSTEM is already using new facilities, Including three studios and nine TV cameras.

"It's like 1948 all over again," Giles said of the excitement Successful areas In the venture will undoubtedly be checked closely by other cable operators. hour, and Mike Wallace, Morley Safer, and Dan Rather no longer will play second-fiddle to a football game. To accomplish that goal, CBS did some heavy cajoling with NFL commissioner Pete Rozelle. According to CBS-TV president Bob Wussler, here's how the "60 Minutes" battle plan will work: THE LATE-AFTERNOON football games which often started iX 4:15, 430, and 5 p.m. (Eastern time) last season from now on wUl get underway promptly at 3:01 p.m.

Therefore, the pregame introductions and the National Anthem will be presented earlier and more quickly. eVHalftime programs will be kept to the absolute minimum 15 minutes," Wussler says. Current half time breaks frequently last 20 to 25 minutes. Wussler promises that the CBS safeguards thus will Insure that "60 Minutes" hits the air at 7 sharp. But even If his precautions fall on a rare occasion and "60 Minutes" doesn't start till 7:15 or 7:20, the program nevertheless will play a full hour (and the rest of the CBS Sunday night schedule will be delayed similarly The nme of the show, as you've probably gupssed, is "60 Minutes." But for a few months last fall a lot of angry viewers were referring to it.

as "45 Minutes" or "About Half an Hour." Between September and December, "60 Minutes," the most-watched news program in TV history, found itself being bumped around constantly by Sunday pro football telecasts. The long games meant that 35 million fans of "60 Minutes" were forced to accept drastically curtailed renditions of the CBS newsmagazine. Termites? Hartnett Takes Over WKRC News OBVIOUSLY, WUSSLER and CBS aren't solving the "60 Minutes" problem solely because they are kind people always on the prowl for ways to make us smile and gurgle like contented Infants. The fact is that "60 Minutes" is a smash hit and therefore the program Is big business for CBS. The show Is a regular among the Nietsen rating leaders; the giant ratings translate Into huge commercial revenue; and there's no program hi the CBS arsenal that does the network greater benefit in the areas of prestige and corporate Image, In the final analysts, that's what's so nice about the runaway popular success of "60 Minutes." After years of mediocre ratings, the program not only Is a hit; it's also a glittering indication that news and public service, presented with style and distinction, ean attract an enormous audience and even get preferential treatment fooV balL Weekend Sports TV-Radio Scheduler RADIO-FRIDAY tASCMU: Montreal at Cincinnati, WLW-AM, TV-SATURDAY USHMfc San Francsco at ChicaoA Channels SPORTS SPCCTACWJHk World "tOT mtxH ear race, Charlotte, H.C MO 60l LPGA Oianvkmhln Bar Tree Gdf Plantation, Norm Myrtle Beacn, S.C, Channel S.
