Overall viewing of ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox sank 8 compared to the holiday week last year, lagging behind the previous low established during the Republican National Convention last August. Even "Seinfeld" and "ER" felt the heat, with newsmagazines accounting for three of the top five programs and the hit NBC medical drama finishing ninth.

An ABC special titled "Senior Prom" drew a record-low rating Wednesday, while Fox's "Pacific Palisades" attracted a smaller audience than reruns of WB network sitcoms in the same hour. Holiday patriotism also didn't extend to the CBS special "What's Right With America," which ranked No. 101 out of 109 shows broadcast. -BRIAN LOWRY Mickey Spillane's Mike Hammer BET Video Vibrations BRVO Movie "Daddy Nostalgia" (19901 2hr.811373 COM Dr.

"My family always stressed education, and so I always thought that I could either be a teacher or something where I was always learning," Devine said. "And that's news.

News is awesome. You get to hang out and work with the movers and shakers mayors, presidents, police chiefs, community activists, people in need. It's awesome. And on top of that, it affords me the profile to be able to effect change when I'm not on the job. I work very hard at being a role model for small children.

For me to be paid to learn and to give back to the community is a dream come true." On the issue of race, however, Devine balks at cairying any particular mantle. Her father is Brazilian, her mother Anglo, and while she understands that because she looks African American or Latin or Italian, depending on who is doing the guessing, some organizations might want her to stand up for them on various issues, she prefers to remain color-blind. "I was stunned when I came to L.A. and saw how polarized everything is over the issue of race," Devine said. "Just in my house growing up, my sister had blond hair, my brother was Mexican, my foster brothers and sisters were Asian, there was me.

We never saw colors, and to come here and see all that tension, it made me very sad. Now, I know that I don't look white, and so I knew that I was always going to be considered some kind of minority, whatever it Is, but I felt my job was to be good, period, and do my best for everyone, anyone, no matter their ethnicity." As for her future, Devine said she has little interest in moving on to a bigger network job, in part because it would give her less time for local activities. She says she wants either to remain at KTTV or to run for public office. "I know it's not the job traditionally of the impartial journalist to be involved like that," Devine said, "but I can't help it," "Christine is professional enough not to let her compassion impeach any of her work here, but there always should be some emphasis in the newsroom on doing good," news director Rios said, when asked if such a proactive approach was appropriate from one of the centerpieces of his ostensibly objective news operation. "As much as we are supposed to be dispassionate observers, we are all also citizens who can do some good and who should do that." a.m.

Meanwhile, the Fox network's prime-time schedule has grown increasingly formidable easily beating two and often all three of the major networks here in the 18- to 49-year-old demographics for which advertisers pay a premium, providing KTTV with whopping lead-in advantages over its 10 p.m. news rivals.

Sweet, humble and ever so earnest in person, Devine spreads credit for KTTV's success throughout the newsroom. She unabashedly flings words like "family" and "pals" to describe the camaraderie among the anchor team which includes weatherman Mark Thompson and sports-caster Rick Garcia. "That's what distinguishes the anchor team here, I think, and that comes through to the viewers, but that's at the bottom of the list of what makes a successful newscast," she said. "As for the product, we have a really solid team of reporters David Garcia, Tony Valdez, Christina Gonzalez, Rod Bernsen a core of reporters who really know the city. Not a lot of rookies or new people." She also praises the undercover team, led by Chris Blatchford, and the decision to have it focus on topics that would interest "our target audience of younger viewers." "The Fox network programming is so young, with 'Melrose Place' and 'New York Undercover so our goal was to attract some of those people instead of watching them flip channels to MTV or turning it off.

By directing stories toward that audience not the top news of the day or anything but our special reports and features, I think it has made a difference. We want the younger person to watch the news and feel a part of the news. For them to say, 'Yeah, I know that or 'I went to that rave or some health issue that affects them so they aren't ignored. It's smart, business-wise, but it's also a part of covering the entire community." But even as she savors her station's triumph, Devine believes that local TV news in general could and should be doing a better job-beginning with less emphasis on crime and violence. She acknowledges that crime is easier to cover than almost any other type of story, that there is interest in it and that it tends to Noon fl KCBS News KNBC 36 KMIR Anomer World (TV14I Guest Joan Rivets.

While many TV news personalities devote some of their spare time to volunteer work, Beard said that his co-anchor's drive to give back to the needy consumes her life. He praised her journalistic abilities pointing to her anchoring of Channel ll's recent special on the release of Geronimo Pratt that included Devine nabbing the only one-on-one interview on local TV with the former Black Pantherbut what stands out most about her, he said, is her compassion. "She has a huge heart," Beard said. "Her biggest problem is she throws herself into the community and into people who need help so much that her time fills up.

I've seen her lay out her schedule when she has the opportunity to take a trip with friends or just relax with her family and she is always booked. She doesn't like to say no to people who need help. And it's nice to sit beside someone like that every night." Devine explained that it was her parents both of whom were in the Peace Corps, work as educators in her native Arizona, adopted a Mexican child and served as foster parents for five children from Vietnamwho instilled In her this mandate for helping others.
