Channel 5 DRAMA THE principals of River City Broadcasting say they pulled a real coup last week when they got John Gutbrod to join -their team as a partner, vice president and general manager of KSTZ-FM (105.7) Gutbrod, 36, is leaving Adams Communications, where he was vice president and general er of KEZK-FM (102.5) and WCEO (590). He will start work at KSTZ at the end of the month, he said when I interviewed him last Friday, the day after the announcement. Why is he leaving a solid operation like Adams, where owner Matt Mills was his friend and mentor? "It comes down to personal goals, really," he said. "I have always wanted to run a group of stations, to be on the ground floor of acquisitions of new radio properties. In addition I wanted to do those things here in St.

Louis. This is a logical move for me." River City, which is operated by Barry Baker and Larry Marcus, also owns KDNL-TV (Channel 30) and another independent television station in San Antonio. The company was formed last year by Baker and Marcus after they un- successfully tried to buy Channel 1 1 where they both worked. The company is waiting for final approval from the Federal Communications Commission to purchase KSTZ, which was in bankruptcy. I incorrectly reported two weeks ago that the purchase price of the light-rock station was $7 million.

Gutbrod said the purchase price was $3.5 million, which Is almost a fire sale, I think. "We got a pretty good price for it," Gutbrod chuckled. "But it is a buyer's market because so many people who leveraged themselves to buy stations in the last five to eight years are going broke." There is still a skeleton staff at the station these days and Gutbrod said staffers would have the opportunity to prove themselves and keep their jobs. "Housecleaning is not my style. These people work hard and love the business." Gutbrod and Baker said buying KSTZ was an opportunity to create a station "from ground zero." Gutbrod looks like the right person for the immediate chore of revitalizing the station.

He oversaw the creation of the city's first all-business news format and pushed KEZK to third in the overall Arbi-tron summer ratings. It's to know whether the format will change after River City takes over day-to-day control of the station, which should happen by the end of the year. The problem with format changes, of course, is that you have to rebuild a listenership all over again. "And radio listeners are tures of habit," Gutbrod said. NBC SportsKMOX (1120) personality Bob Costas will host the joint 24th Moscow RadioKMOX-CBS Radio.

The one-hour program will air Oct 18 at 10 a.m. In the past the show has been a free-for-all in which Soviet listeners can talk directly to American A repeat of a "Columbo" from last season offers a chance to ponder how Peter Falk beat both Kyle Mac-Lachlan and Scott Bakula for the Best Actor Emmy.

Hillbillies Andy Griffith CABLE John Gutbrod listeners about political and cultural issues. This year's broadcast will be special because U.S. and Soviet citizens will be able to chat about sports with one of the business's experts. In the continued cross-pollination of television and radio news and personalities, Channel 2 News at 5 p.m.

will be broadcast simultaneously on WIBV (1260). The daily joint newscasts started Monday. WKKX-FM (104.1) has joined the "earthquake thing" along with other area stations. The station is sponsoring an "Earthquake Evacuation Vacation." The getaway is a cruise around several Caribbean islands about the time a climatologist has said chances are high for an earthquake in this area. That prediction has been widely discredited, but stations obviously see it as a promotional boon.

And speaking of promotional boons, Plaza Motors sure got a goodie with KMOX's Kevin Horri-gan. After his interesting interview of St. Louis Circuit Attorney George Peach on the upcoming 2 Live Crew concert (in which Peach called the Post-Dispatch a "pinko" newspaper), Horrigan segued gracefully into a unctuous promotion of Plaza Motors. It was so smooth that it was tough to know whether it was a commercial or Horrigan going into another talk segment. I guess that's the point.

i But I have to say that the shows I heard last Thursday and Friday were able analyses of the news, which might not be surprising. Peach discussed the rap group con-troversyj in which a record store owner in Florida was convicted of selling sexually explicit music to a minor. Peach said he would judge the issue on its legal merits alone if a controversy bubbles up while the group is in town Oct. 25. "I'm just not for giving them any more free publicity," Peach said.

Forget the Meryl Streep-Roseanne Barr movie; one of cable's finest moments was "The Life and Loves of a She-Devil," based on the same Fay Weldon novel. Julie T. Wallace stars as the homely woman who takes elaborate revenge on her unfaithful husband.

That can be accomplished by surrendering a trick in a suit where there is no loser. You must win the trump in dummy and lead a heart If East follows with a low heart, insert your nine. Assuming West wins this trick, best defense is to shift to a diamond.

Rise with the ace, unblock the king of hearts, return to the table with a trump and discard a diamond on the ace of hearts. Now lead the queen of diamonds for a ruffing finesse. If East covers, you ruff and cross to the last trump to discard a club on the jack of diamonds. If East does not cover, discard a club and, even if West wins, your king of clubs is safe from attack and you can discard another club mi the remaining high diamond.
