By JULIA INMAN LOCAL RADIO has been going through its "silly sea-son" lately, as one broadcast cynic put it. Certainly there have been some highly unusual events taking place on the radio front in the city.

A local station owner-disc jockey had himself buriedi alive for two days last weekend and in the process was heard on the radio as far away aa New York, Los Angeles and the BCC in London. Another outlet has captured attention by putting a courageous couple on a billboard or an indefinite stay. MEANWHILE the continuing saga of Don Burden's stations has added a new chapter in a story that is unique in broadcast annals. As of the Wednesday cut-off dale, nine groups have put in their bids for the license of WIFE-FM, which was ordered off the air by the Federal Communications Commission after more than a decade of battle with former owner Don W. Burden.

The groups, which represent a wide range of interests from a theater owner to a wrecking company executive, are out to cash in on a probably profitable venture. WIFE-FM, or as it is classified by the FCC, FM Channel 300, is the only open radio frequency in the city. In its best year, the station grossed approximately $401,000 worth of business and a cash flow of approximately $100,000. Local sources hasten to qualify this by saying the figure was before WXTZ, the outlet's strongest competitor, went on the air. THE CATCH, however, is that with this crowd after the frequ-ncy, the Washington legal "drama" over the former Burden station may continue for another nine years or more.

A somewhat similar situation has existed in Los Angeles for 14 years. During that time, the price may run No wonder Carlton is fastest growing of die top 25 brands. Movies as high as per group in legal fees as the communications lawyers pile up all the paper work in Washington. Just to give you an idea of the cost, one group has already sunk $100,000 in just getting through the application process. Washington communications lawyers, a select breed of attorneys, do not come cheap.

We once were thinking out loud that perhaps Burden shouldn't lose his stations, but should be given a stiff fine by the FCC. A broadcaster hearing the remark replied, "He already has. He's paid his lawyers' fees." At any rate, the cast of "characters" is as follows: Indianapolis Broadcasting the owners of WIFE-AM; Viking Indianapolis, a group of Washington (D.C.) suburbanites; People's Broadcasting representing theater owner Joe Cantor and others, Radio One Five Hundred, ownsrs of religious station WBRI, and Mediacom owner unknown. Other applications filed' by the FCC deadline Wednesday are: Radio Corporation of Indiana, with local investor Michael Gradison, Marvin Frank and others; Wood' Communications of Indiana, representing a Grand Rapids group which owns a TV station there, and former WRTV general manager Eldon Carlton i -2T'i 1 Filter mg. tar Warning: The Surgeon General Has Determined That Cigarette Smoking Is Dangerous to Your Health.

What befalls Deborah Raffin and Lynne Moody will keep you on edge throughout, and although there's a slight tendency towards melodrama at times, the script works well. Miss Raffin, with her glamor girl movie image, is very good, and Lynne Moody, as her black travelling companion, and Delia Reese, as a hardened lifer, are excellent.

10:00 P.M. Serpico. A "supercop" (Barton Heyman), who only cares about making a "collar" and Serpico (David Birney), who refuses to waste anyone's life, clash on a good edition of the show. Their mutual quarry is an ex-cop turned pusher (Paul Benjamin). Serpico is forced to work with the supercop, but he mistrusts him, which makes an already dangerous job more perilous.

Characterization counts in this above-par cop show. 1:00 A.M. Midnight Special. This week's host, Frankie Valli, welcomes his former group, the Four Seasons, Flash Cadillac and the Continental Kids, Bob Seger, Loretta Lynn, and Peter Allen. The show's salute tonight is to rock star Joe Cocker.
