7 p.m Channel 4 Harry Smith reports on "Who's Getting Rich and Why Aren't You?" The special looks at new corporate attitudes and what American workers need to do to survive them. 8p.m Channel 4 COMEDY Chandler (Matthew Perry) has had it with weird roommate Eddie (Adam Goldberg) on a "Friends" repeat. 7p.m Channel 5 Giancarlo Esposito plays Max's mysterious client on a "Living Single" rerun. 7:30 p.m Channel 2 Boyd wants to ask Joy out on a repeat of the season finale of "Boston Common." The sitcom moves to its new time slot on Sunday with fresh episodes. 7:30 p.m Channel 5 Alexandra Wentworth plays Jerry's girlfriend on a rerun of the "Soup Nazi" episode of "Seinfeld." 8 p.m Channel 5 The Solomons' car is stolen on a "3rd Rock From the Sun" repeat.

8:30 p.m Channel 5 PRIME TIME EVENING AFTER a year in exile on Channel 24, Fox Children's Network programs will move to Channel 2 on Sept. 9. But the news isn't all good for St. Louis children, who are credited with inspiring the change through an "avalanche of mail" to Fox. Channel 2 will air the shows from 1-3 p.m.

weekdays, when most kids are in school. When Channels 2 and 30 switched networks last fall, Channel 2, the new Fox affiliate, opted not to pick up the children's shows, which are distributed separately from other network programming. Left homeless, the Children's Network signed on with the Rev. Larry Rice's Channel 24. Ratings plunged, largely because the low-power UHF station is difficult to receive, with a poor picture even on cable.

And young fans complained, using their clout as members of the Fox Kids Club the nation's largest, with some 250,000 members. "We don't want to disappoint kids," Fox Children's Network president Margaret Loesch told a trade publication in confirming the move to Channel 2. Fox was upbeat last summer in announcing its affiliation with Channel 24. Network executives praised Rice's plans to use the children's programs to get kids involved in helping the homeless. But early on, the network was embarrassed when Rice urged children to write to the governor to protest a planned execution.

He was asked to stop injecting politics into the programming. rox also stopped commenting publicly about the association with Rice, failing to return any calls from a Post-Dispatch reporter preparing a profile of Rice. Previously, though, Loesch had told Channel 30 the former home of the Children's Network that she would have pre ferred less religious proselytizing from Rice during the kids shows, although she supported the positive values he presented. Although Loesch reportedly lobbied hard with Channel 2 to pick up the children's programs, the move is not related to the recent sale of New World, Channel 2's owner, to Fox. The deal was in the works long before the sale, both Fox and Channel 2 said.

Channel 2 was still struggling with scheduling details this week and wasn't ready for a formal announcement of the pickup. In addition, general manager Spencer Koch was on vacation. But program coordinator Elaine ClaspiU confirmed the outline of the plan, which includes the addition of "Fox After Breakfast" to the station's morning lineup and the move of the popular "Rosie O'Donnell Show" to 3 p.m. "The Gordon Elliott Show" moves to 10 a.m., followed by "Maury Povich" at 11. The children's block from 1 to 3 p.m.

will be followed by "Rosie," "Hard Copy" and the new syndicated "Real TV." Most of the changes take place Monday, although the Children's Network doesn't begin its new season on Sept. 9. Channel 2 isn't picking up the weekday morning hour of kids shows from Fox. On Channel 24, the Fox Children's Network shows aired from 3 to 5 p.m. for afterschool viewing.

I think there is very little public discourse in this community about the dismantling of affirmative action in the area of economic development, I mean, so many businesses. The bottom line is, if they hadn't legislated it, they wouldn't do the business, and we know that to be true. People do business with their friends, with people who are like them, people they are comfortable with.

It's just human nature. For us to now say we don't need those tools is not true, we haven't come that far. mm ''v I 8896 6 PM 6:30 7 PM 7:30 8 PM 8:30 9 PM I 9:30 10 PM I 10:30 I 11 PM I 11:30 News (999) Entertain Martin single (205) NY Undercover (3595) Patrol (4330) Cops News Entertain videos Videos News (137) Journal Miracle Babies (H) (2243) CBS Reports (8663) 48 Hours (8427) News Late Show (99060682) Golf 0 News (6601) fortune Friends Boston Seinfeld 3rdRock ER (R) (47525) News Tonight Show (59551 156) Rush News-Lehrer (42446) Donnybrk.

The station cites "contractual obligations," which boils down to the need to air "Hard Copy" in the slot dubbed "early prime" (between 4 and 5 p.m.) Conventional wisdom is that kids shows are a terrible lead-in to news. Airing children's programs in lateuaf-ternoon could hurt viewershipjfor Channel 2's 5 p.m. newscast; by contrast, creating a 3-to-5 p.m. block with the strong "Rosie" and two q'ua-si-news shows could boost Tnews viewership.

Harry Smith formally begins tiis prime-time career at CBS News with "Who's Getting Rich and Aren't You?" (8 tonight on Channel 4). Smith, late of "CBS This Morning," "will play a significant role in. CBS News documentaries," the network says. (In addi tion, he 11 contribute regu-lar features to Dan Rather's "Evening News" and substitute for Charles Osgood on "Sunday He's likely to do it all well, to judge by his debut special. "Who's Getting Rich" is a hard-hitting but remarkably weU-balanced "CBS Reports" entry that shows vividly why American workers despite the relatively robust economy are uneasy about job security, and ought to be.

In early morning, Smith was so low-key as to almost vanish, but in "Who's Getting Rich" he's a strong presence, even losing his cool at one point as a corporate executive J1 plains the logic of laying off thousands, then paying himself a gazillion dollars a year. Saturday night, Smith is back as host of the third "Smithsonian Fantastic Journey" special (7 p.m. on Channel 4), this one featuring a 150th-birthday celebration live froiri Washington. In the new season, Smith and his wife, sportscaster Andrea Joyce, have signed on for an episode of "Ink," the new Ted Danson-Mary Steenburgen sitcom.

That is what it's really all about to know that we have the same concerns, that we eat the same food, that our parents are equally concerned about the education of their children, the safety of their children.
