Sports Time's new sales approach trying to combat losses said to be about $20 million-is to make it a basic cable service instead of selling it on a subscription basis, as it did last year. A basic service is a station like ESPN, as opposed to a subscription service, ala Home Box Office.

The only exceptions to the new plan for Sports Time would be the Greater Cincinnati, Kansas City and St. Louis areas, where it would remain subscription only. As a result, the Reds have told Sports Time they can't let their games be telecast on the cable network. "At the present time it appears that baseball's national television contract prohibits the Cincinnati Reds from becoming part of a regional basic cable network," said Jim Winters, director of broadcasting for the Reds. "After carefully evaluating all the pros and cons of Sports Time's desire to become a basic cable service outside the Cincinnati ADI (area of dominant influence), we feel it is not in the best interest to our club to participate.

"However," Winters added, "we are optimistic that Sports Time will find an alternate solution to maximize their subscription base so that we can continue to work together." The current baseball contract, signed before last season, put an end to baseball games being aired on such non-subscription cable networks as ESPN and USA. Sports Time, as a regional basic service channel, now falls Into this category. The Reds and Sports Time have already met twice over the subject and more meetings are sure to take place. "Obviously, this is something we need to work out with the Reds," said Jerry Lovelace, ALBERT GESSEL BfiACffT GRADUATED NORWOOD HIGH, 1936 A GREAT PERFORMER IN FOOTBALL, 8ASKETBALL(CAPTAIN), BASEBALL- GRADUATED FROM XAVICR UNIVERSITY ISO PLA1ED FOOTBALL 6 BASKETBALL (CAPTAIN)-SELECTED TO X.U5 BASKETBALL HALL OF FAN6-PRINCIPAL NORWOOD HIGH SCHOOL, 1 95 6-1 $76 MARRIED RUTH SlPPEL.A 937 NORWOOD GRADUATE- manager of communications for 1 Sports Time. "We recognize that there are problems and we need to get the Reds' permission to change our agreement." Sports Time began telecasting last April with the opening of baseball season.

Almost from the beginning there were problems in Cincinnati. Originally there were to be 25 home games telecast, but contractual problems between the Reds and City of Cincinnati delayed the schedule and less than a dozen were finally aired. Subscriptions lagged, both here and throughout Sports Time's 14-state market area. Today, there are only about 35,000 paying customers. Of that number, only between 2,000 and 3,000 are in Greater Cincinnati.

But by going basic, Sports Time has picked up 600,000 viewers and anticipates adding 200,000 more before the first of the year. That still doesn't solve the Reds problems. If Sports Time Is to be popular here, the network must have Reds baseball in the summer. RADIOTELEVISION NOTES: Former Miami University basketball coach Darrell Hedric is one of three people hired by Sports Time as color commentators for the network's basketball coverage this winter. He will work with either Ken Wilson or Kevin Calabro, play-by-play announcers.

Fehr finished 93rd last week in Detroit, but wasn't terribly disappointed. "My hand was better, just a little weak from not bowling a lot of games," Fehr said. "I was very happy that it held up. I had some swelling in the thumb and fingers, but that was expected because I hadn't bowled all that much." Fehr moves on to Chicago this week for the Brunswick World Open.
