He is angry, his agent says, because of the "treatment he has been getting" from ABC and Witt-Thomas-Harris Productions, which makes Benson.

Although money is part of the dispute, says agent Phil Margo, "it is largely a question of treatment. All we are after is parity and what's fair. We aren't asking for something other people don't get just certain things that a man who's reached the point Robert has should have." Margo would not elaborate.

HIGHLIGHTS ON CABLE TONIGHT Warner Amex Cable of Akron broadcasts 24-hour programming from Atlanta's WTBS (cable position 6) and New York City's WOR-TV (position 12).

The following schedule, covering programming for tonight and tomorrow's pre-dawn hours, is not a complete listing but represents selected highlights. Also listed are Warner's Movie Channel (cable position 7) and events on the USA network (position 10).

But it is said that Guillaume asked ABC for a movie package, a benefit often given by grateful networks to stars of successful series.

"But they (ABC) would like you to think it's just a marginal show," says Margo. INDEED, Benson was not a Top 10 show for ABC last season, but few of that network's series were. In a season in which ABC saw its prime time dominance evaporate, Benson was a solid performer, finishing in the top one-third of the Nielsen ratings. Only two of the series introduced by ABC last fall are on the 1980-81 schedule Hart to Hart and Benson. There is supposedly a search for a new Benson being conducted, with Ben Vereen and Louis Gossett Jr.

being mentioned as possible replacements for Guillaume. But it's nqt likely that Guillaume will be replaced. ABC can't afford to lose any more successes. Just two weeks ago, Ron Howard announced that he was leaving ABC and Happy Days for NBC, where he was promised the chance (that ABC wouldn't give him) to direct and produce movies. Then last week, Hollywood reporter Rona Barrett, who has helped ABC's Good Morning America make it, announced she was leaving ABC for NBC.

And now Benson. The show couldn't survive Guil-laume's loss, and ABC needs the show. But the network has apparently convinced Guillaume's agent that it would sacrifice Benson before giving in. Margo says he will give in rather than lose the show for his client. "There comes a point where it's not worth going any further," he says.

"It doesn't make any sense to blow the show. It's a question of who really cares more about it." WJW Radio slices three from news staff Citing economic conditions, WJW Radio has dismissed three members of its news staff, including Jim Hale, who has been news director for the station, and reporters Lynn Charles and Bob Tayek. Hale formerly was a news co-anchorman for Channel 8. WJW is retaining its CBS Radio newscasts. Local news is being handled by Gary Short and Les Clark.
