Broadway V4 RADIO and TELEVISION PAGE Bill l.a,U scholars and an estimated 150.000 listeners a week. WKLOTV's coverage of the University of Louisville basketball games from the Armory have been very well done. Picture is good and sharp, though I was having some waver Wednesday night, and Mark Ilalleck has done a very workmanlike commentary.

One thing which has made Eartha Kitt's "Santa Baby" tune such a quick smash hit was the furor over her rendition of it at the shindig for Greek royalty in Los Angeles. There was much hullabaloo over the show given the King and Queen having been a mite off-color and this tune bore the brunt of the criticism. Canadian Ads vision commercials. Repetition and increased volume of sound make most commercials downright obnoxious The only manner in which commercials will accomplish their basic purpose is to pattern themselves after the minority that manage to combine information about the product with presentation to attract the viewers' interest and attention," Children's programs came in for a mild attack. Slapstick humor and absurdities of speech or dress are poor substitutes for the amusement and instructive values of the best children's programs.

The insincerity of "dubbed in" applause and laughter in filmed shows was attacked by the committee, too. The committee was strongly opposed to the use of this device. phase of news work in which TV excels, too. Not the niht after-night report, but rather such things as the atom bomb explo. sion, the inauguration, the coronation.

Television, in an attempt to broaden the cultural horizons, must be credited with good intentions, the committee points out. However, the production techniques often fall far of the intentions. Especially, it was felt, is this true in the field of science, medicine, the arts and social prot-lems of the day. What is basically good material is poorly handled, resulting in dull programs which fail to hold the viewers' attention. Local Work Vraised And oddly enough, the committee found thttt the best in educational-type television was coming from the local stations rather than from the networks.

Many 1 local stations, they found, have done very good jobs in spotlighting local problems. The committee took a swing at several things which the critics have been blasting at all year. One is the growing practice of having the star become the pitchman for the product. In the case of recognized stars this is more repugnant yet. "We are disturbed," said the committee, "by the lack of quality and persuasiveness of tele What plans have been made for these proposed channels, I don't know.

Sounds like plans for a network. Ao More In Kentucky While the educational television project moves in so close as our next-door neighbor would be a good time to check up on Kentucky. Here we have one channel allocated, that in Louisville. No move has been made to pick it up. Kentucky, in order to spread educational TV statewide, would need just about the same three additional- channels planned for Tennessee.

A Louisville educational figure told me the other day, "I just hope what isn't happening in Kentucky educational television won't turn out to be a crying shame. I just hope that Arkansas, Mississippi and Tennessee don't get so far ahead of us that we can't ever catch up. I hope that Kentucky doesn't start off 48th in educational television." A lot of wild figures have been quoted as to what it would cost to start an educational station in Louisville. Many of these figures run from a quarter of a million to half a million. There are people who will lay a sizable bet that Louisville could get on the air for less than a hundred grand.

The first step, it seems, is to get on the air with something to protect the channel. It's in the nature of insurance. Incidentally, an educational television program in Detroit, I believe, has over 9,000 paying Ruth Ceri Hagy Moderates youth program SUNDAY TV Out-of-town TV on IT, Section 1. ot editiona gotng to erooe thoe ttatione serve.

Father Gadabout Ooddie Film TWISTING the dial while sniffling and snorting: Two new announcers on WAVE and WAVE-TV. Andy ChappelL, native of New Jersey, broke into radio in New York with Mutual and has done some work on C.B.S. production, has been in Lewiston, and one and a half years in the Air Force. The other newcomer is Rod Hoff, native of Huntington, V. and graduate of Kentucky Military Institute and Columbia University.

He has worked at WPLH at Huntington and WOR, New York, coming to Louisville from Indianapolis. Letter from Harry McTigue of WINN asks that this column relay his thanks to the radio folk of Kentucky who gifted him with a movie camera and projector and screen. "I don't think," says Harry, "anyone will ever know how much real enjoyment I'm getting from it. Will you express my sincere gratitude and thanks?" Confined Harry says the doc won't let him go back to work for a time, but that he is getting around more and getting out occasionally. WINN will cover the arrival by air of the Santa Claus family today at 3 and will supply a recording of the event to WFPL so the school kids can hear it throughout the week.

George Partridge will officiate, I think. Robert W. Rounsaville, owner of WLOU, Louisville, and whose TV station should be on the air here shortly after the first of the year, has been granted Channel 36 in Atlanta A group of private citizens has applied for an educational television station on Channel 7 in Jacksonville, Fla. Studios would be located at a high school and cost of construction has been estimated at $369,000. Station will be noncommercial New Channels An initial decision looking toward eventual grant of Channel 74 UHF to the Tri-City Broadcasting Company at Newport, is reported by the F.C.C.

Three additional educational, noncommercial channels have been proposed by the F.C.C. for Tennessee. Plans are for them to be located at Lexington, Channel 11; Rock Island, Channel 7, and Sneedville, Channel 2. Lexington is in West Tennessee near Jackson; Rock Island is in Central Tennessee near McMinnville, and Sneedville is southeast of Middlesboro right near the Virginia-Kentucky-Tennessee corner. 4:00 Omnibut Cowboy O-Men :15 :30 Super Circut :45 5:00 Kit Certon :15 30 Cilco Kid Doctor'!

REGAL JEWELERS With Ad 20th Market Louisville's 1st and READY FOR BETTER SEE TODAY'S HIGH LIGHTS THE FIRST BATCH of television awards (or the yoar is out. this time the honors handod out at a big New York dinner. Who won what was pretty thoroughly covered in the papers last week. Who won what was not so important, however, as the general comment made by the committee of judges, headed by Deems Taylor. The committee was composed of educators, heads of various national organizations, publishers and Broadway figures.

For the first time, in 1952, the committee felt that there was a single program so good that it could be named the best of the year in all categories. That was "Victory at Sea." This was hailed as an achievement by the new medium. I'nnhle To Choose In 1953 the committee was unable to choose such a program, not, it reported, that there were no outstanding programs, but there were so many that one could not be singled out. This, too, is hailed as an important advance in television. Undoubtedly it is.

However, the thing pointed to by the committee as the chief characteristic of too many TV programs is mediocrity. "In attempting to be all things to all men," the committee said, "too many programs lose whatever vitality they might possess." The committee agreed that television's most hopeful sign of the year was that it was developing its own stars whose abilities are most fully expresed in tele-1 vision. For too long, the com- i mittee felt, television was willing to borrow its technique, its stars I and its material from other mediums. Now it is finally beginning to develop its own. Thus the committee gave several awards to people who have come into stardom in television.

Rod Steiger, the actor who won the award as best, was a TV actor little known on the stage, and Paddy Cheyevski, who wrote the play in which Steiger starred, has done his first important work on TV. The committee recognized the KELSALL'S Presents Hi-Fidelity Phonographs For Music Lovers RCA VICTOR 1954, Hi Fidelity Record Player, Model i7 WEBCOR 1954, Hi Fidelity Record MITCHELL 1954, Ui-Fidclity Record Instrument, world's most wonderful tone.tf AA95 Model 103 I 77 RCA VICTOR 1954, Hi-Fidelity Record Player console style, tATfTOO Model 3ILS6 ZD All Makes TELEVISION RECEIVERS REPAIRED Pickup end Delivery Factory Equipment R.iton.ble Pricei Open Every Nite Until Christmas KELSALL'S Weitilnger-Oaulbeit Bldg. 226 W.

A mystery existed as to why there are so many beer sponsors on television near the Canadian border. Turns out that Canadian brewers are banned on Canadian TV stations. So they ostensibly try to sell American viewers via programs on American stations. But being near the border the stations have viewers in Canada, too. This is one way of getting around a liquor law.

Another is being done in Missouri. Advertising of hard liquor is prohibited on radio and TV in this country. So one liquor dealer has put in a line of other gadgets which he advertises, using the Confederate flag as a trademark for these sidelines. Since they go to the liquor store to buy the other things he expects to boost liquor sales, too. This is a big parlay indeed, with liquor sales boosted by use of a medium on which liquor ads are barred, and with Stonewall Jackson and Robert E.

Lee being used for stooges in the campaign, too. Ray Bolger is not satisfied with his "Raymond" series on A.B.C. television and he's tinkering with the whole format.
