The station is a WB Network affiliate, and will carry WB programming on Wednesday and Sunday nights. The popular Animaniacs will air at 4:30 p.m. weekdays. The rest of the time, WNAB will offer syndicated programming, opening its day with talk shows hosted by Charles Perez and former Wilson Phillips singer Carnie Wilsoa In the late nightearly morning hours, WNAB will carry MOR Music, a cable network that combines home shopping and music videos.

MOR moved to Nashville last week. 58, Nashville's newest TV station, is scheduled to sign on the air today, but who knows what you'll see. "We're literally going right to the wire," WNAB president Vince Barresi said yesterday as techni-cans planned to hook up a satellite. "We're really pushing this thing. We're going to look a little rough.

Maybe not a little rough, maybe a lot rough. There have been no rehearsals. People are going to be operating this stuff for the first time. People can watch us grow up." Plans are to kick the new station on at 3 p.m., but if there's a glitch, it will start at 6 p.m. instead.

"Over the years we've studied a lot of different styles of music," Gordon said. "We tried to learn something about jazz and bluegrass and Latin and other styles. It was like a composting thing, where it all went back into the soil of our music." The band is on a tour that started in September in Sacramento, and ends New Year's Eve at Madison Square Garden in New York City. They stop in Nashville today.

The four-member band was a big Phish in a small pond after forming 12 years ago at the University of Vermont. By the early '90s, the group was selling out college-town clubs around the United States. But it wasn't until 1994 that Phish made its biggest splash, playing to 600,000 fans at more than 100 concerts, including a sold-out show Dec. 30 at Madison Square Garden. The group's jam-oriented style, neo-hippie humor and cult-like following have drawn comparisons to the Grateful Dead.

Gordon said he and his fellow band members singer-guitarist Trey Anastasio, keyboardist Page McConnell and drummer Jon Fishman sometimes find it annoying. "There's no reason to deny the comparisons," Gordon said. "Our crowd is a lot like theirs. We've adopted a following that is open to improvisational music and willing to listen to whatever happens, whether it's good or bad."

During the spontaneous jam sessions, band members stand or sit in a circle and take turns improvising on a variety of melodies. "It sort of frees our minds in terms of trying to communicate more fluently with each other," he said.

"We learn how to connect and as a result, we travel in new directions to places we never imagined. "The goal is to hook up with each other. Because a jam is going to be bad if we feel like we're all in our own worlds." i HANDYMAN I "No Job Too Small" I Palming, Plumbing, Electrical, Carpentry Call 754-6553, Leave Message c.ii.n Rafarancaa mmui I i Exp.

"Actually, real Deadheads probably wouldn't like us," he said. "We have a similar goal in mind, but the music is not as grounded in certain drum beats. It changes around more and it has a different sense of humor.

But there's still some crossover." Phish's smooth, intricate blend of rock, jazz, bluegrass, country and other styles comes across on such humorously titled, jam-oriented songs as Bouncing Around the Room, You Enjoy Myself, Chalkdust Torture, Slave to the Traffic light and the 35-minute Tweezer all included on their live double-album, A Live One (Elektra Records). Such a long version of Tweezer wouldn't have been possible if band members hadn't spent years getting in tune with each other during what mm CO GOLDEN EYE nlM 10-1 SMOM 30 JUluQ T-T IM46-1000 TC13 14S-4 ACE VEKTURA NATURE CALLS 1 30-330-530-7 30-BM PQ13 1 HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS T8 PG13 fQ13 MONEY TRAIN MCK OF TIME 7 15-9 15 MONEY TRAIN GOLDENEYE TOY STORY eat-7-onotMoo 7 IO-7 3t--56 P013 ACE VENTURA NATURE CALLS HflO-12 30-J 10-415-SO) fG13 POWDCR OET SHORTY IS PQ13 9 40 230--4 TOY STORY miZJl PG IT TAKES TWO VAMPIRE BROOKLYN 12 20-2 30-4 45-7 2Q-- 25 I fFreff ilJDuD -mi mH fc. 4 lira -aW I.
