And many of them criticized the way the deejays handled the situationsome accusing them of being flippant with the man at the beginning of his confession. "We were doing this in fun and joking along with all the people who called in," Baxter said. "At first we didn't know how this guy's story would end up. We thought maybe he was going to say he went outside and scratched up his girlfriend's car." After fielding the complaints, Baxter and Ryder apologized to listeners on the air for what had happened and read off some helpline phone numbers for the man to call if he was still listening. Both Ryder and Baxter insisted that the call was not a hoax on their part.

They said the confession sounded authentic but acknowl- edged that they had no way of knowing for certain that it was. KLOS-FM's rival morning duo Mark Thompson and Brian Phelps, who also rely on live talk with listeners, were the victims of a hoax last year when a man went on the air and confronted a woman he said was his wife to demand a divorce because she'd been having an affair with one of his co-workers. He then spoke to the alleged co-worker and fired him. The "real-life" drama was later shown to be a prank by three employees at Edwards Air Force Base. Baxter said that the police called Wednesday to investigate, but KROQ did not have any additional information on the man.

Ryder said he "was not in love" with the confess-your-crime bit, but the deejays had not decided if they would try it again. "Tomorrow we're going to do 'people who play the accordion he said.

Police make inquiries. By STEVE WEINSTEIN When Kevin Ryder and Gene Baxter better known as the morning duo "Kevin and Bean" on KROQ-FM (106.7) decided to encourage listeners to call in and "confess their crimes" on the air as a comedy bit Wednesday morning, they got more than they bargained for: a murder confession. Just before 9 a.m., after other listeners had confessed to such transgressions as stealing bowling balls, deliberately running over cats and having sex with both a girlfriend and her mother, a man whom Baxter later described as sounding "wacked out and disturbed" called in and said that several years earlier in another city, he had killed his girlfriend when he found her in bed with another man. "It just blew us away," Baxter said in an interview. "The only thing I could think of to do was to suggest we put him in touch with someone who could help.

And I got the feeling that he thought we were going to trace the call or something and he just hung up. We were stunned, so we just went to commercials and cut the bit off for the rest of the day."

Johnson said that she hopes to have a permanent anchor in place by the fall.

"We have all felt fairly confident of remaining on the air because we're a very low-budget show and basically break even," Johnson said. "Luckily, so far, we've been able to get through the scrutiny. We all love Charlie and we're sorry he's leaving the show. But this gives us a chance to re-think and revitalize it. We all assumed Charlie would wind up in a better time slot at some point, and we're glad for him.

He's done this for six years, and it's the hardest anchor job I've ever seen." Some "Nightwatch" viewers may be. surprised that the show is taped the morning and early afternoon of the previous day, then pieced together and updated as news events may warrant. Somehow, however, it has managed to retain a cozy, late-night "Nightwatch" debuted in 1982, and many TV observers felt it was created partly because of CBS' determination to combat Ted Turner's 24-hour Cable News Network. CNN had been launched in 1980 and was already beginning to siphon off network viewers with its around-the-clock format. Although it originated in New York, "Nightwatch" moved to Washington in January, 1984, when Rose took over as host.

With its staff slashed from 45 to about 20 in CBS' massive budget cuts, the future of the program has been a matter of conjecture in recent years. But Rose gave "Nightwatch" a definite image and clout that made it stand out. And he said that if the series should ever "need me, I may be available from time to time." Of his move to Los Angeles and his new "Personalities" series, he added: "This is a new beginning for me. I think it's important for people to respond to risk. Everybody talks about where news ends and entertainment begins, and vice versa.

All I know is my own integrity." ROSE Continued from F9 the audience's curiosity. And when you do a show like this, you get a sense of your own mortality because so many people you've spoken to have died like Sammy Davis Jr. He was on the show a number of times." As it happens, one of the fans of "Nightwatch" is CBS President Laurence Tisch. "Yes, Larry Tisch watches it," producer Johnson said. "He's one of those guys who gets up in the middle of the night.

Every time I meet him, he says he saw it the night before, which is good for us." Regarding the future of "Nightwatch," Johnson said that she recently visited CBS News President David Burke in New York and believes that "the news division is committed to the show. It's going to remain an interview program, but much will depend on the personality of the new anchor."
