Sports vue's startup costs will be between $5 million and $6 million for the first two years, Barbera says. The network will need between subscribers to "turn the comer," he says. Total TV in Brown County will charge $8 a month. Cablevision has not set its price yet. I've gotten a few phone calls from people eagerly awaiting Sportsvue.

They were adamant about the network being available here (this was before it was announced). Also, they were not only willing to pay to see the Brewers and Bucks, but they agreed with the owners that such a network was essential to raise more money to help keep the teams contenders. For a majority of subscribers, though, that argument either won't wash or they can't afford another fee or they don't give a hoot about sports of any sort. At any rate, this kind of venture is part of a trend in professional sports around the country. Other such networks are operating in major markets.

In case you're worried about having to pay for watching the Packers on TV, rest at ease for a while. The league has four more years left on its contract with ABC, CBS and NBC and cable TV is totally out of the picture until then. A new way to raise bucks for Wisconsin sports teams is brewing around the state, including here. It's Sportsvue, a pay-cable TV venture with Milwaukee Brewers baseball and Milwaukee Bucks basketball at its core. JSportsvue's arrival April 3 will bring about departures, some which will cause a bit of unTiappiness.

'Notable is the trimming of the Brewers' over-the-air TV schedule. Last season, Channel 26 televised mdrje than 60 games. This season, the limit is 30 games because of Sportsvue. At suburban Total TV, the Hdfhe Theater Network movie channel (300 subscribers) is getting the ax as of March 31. Sportsvue will take its place on Channel 18.

At N.E.W. Media Cablevision of Green Bay and Howard, the probable candidate for the chopping block is The Associated Press text service, though that's not definite. Sportsvue is tenatively slated to appear on Channel 29. Sportsvue operates under this chain of thinking: There are a lot of die-hard Brewers and Bucks fans around the state. Many will be willing to pay ($8 minimum a month) for viewing games they've seen for free up to now.

More games will be offered. There will be enough subscribers to make Sportsvue profitable, with money turned back to the teams. "Both the Bucks' and Brewers' survival is not dependent upon the success of Sportsvue," says Larry I I- operates in Allouez, Ashwaubenon, Bellevue, De Here, Oconto, Chilton, Sturgeon Bay, Manitowoc and the towns of Newton, Manitowoc and Manitowoc Rapids. Sportsvue plans to carry 200 live events a year. It will be on the air only during the games and pre-and postgame segments.

This season, 67 Brewer games are scheduled, 22 at home. Steve Shannon, Mike Hegan and Bob Uecker are the announcers. The Sportsvue games will not be duplicated on Channel 26, and the games on Channel 26 will not be on Sportsvue. Same with the Bucks, who will be on Sportsvue 33 times next season, 13 at home. Naturally, the owners are going to look at attendance figures for the televised home games with a magnifying glass.

If crowds fall, it's back to the drawing board as far as televising them. If big crowds come anyway, more home game telecasts are possible in the future, Barbera says. These are the plans for the 100 other telecasts: 40 University of Wisconsin (primarily basketball and hockey) games, 10 Marquette University (primarily basketball) games, 20 American League baseball games, 10 NBA games and 20 NHL games. Barbera says there are 450,000 cable homes in Wisconsin, and Sportsvue will have access to 250,000 of those. He predicts a signup rate of from 5-10 percent initially.

"However, Sportsvue could greatly assist them in remaining the competitive, highly visible teams that we've come to expect them to be as the result of their successes in the past." Barbera adds, "There are very few new revenue sources available to the sports owners today.

Sportsvue becomes a new revenue source. No question about the fact they're real optimistic about its possibilities." He was referring to Brewers owner Allan "Bud" Selig and Bucks owner James Fitzgerald. Total TV also happens to be Fitzgerald's domain. Though Total TV was sold recently, Fitzgerald has a five-year contract as a consultant for the new owner, and he remains heavily involved in the state system. All Total TV systems will carry Sportsvue.

In the A.C. Nielsen ratings for the week ended March 11, ABC and CBS had a 17.0 average, while NBC's was 13.4. The networks say this means that in an average prime-time minute, 13.4 percent of all households with televisions were turned into an NBC show.
