WUHQ will replace a 6 p.m. local newscast with and the 6:30 p.m.

ABC Evening News with Peter Jennings with WKRP in Cincinatti. The ABC news will be available in the area only on WZZM, Channel 13 in Grand Rapids, which is not carried by Wolverine Cablevision and several other cable systems. "It is clear now viewers are finding their 6 p.m. news elsewhere," said Jerry Colvin, WUHQ vice-president and general manager. "We will concentrate our efforts at expanding 41 Alive at 5:30 p.m.

This is in no way a reflection of our news staff. We have been happy with the product but the news audience is apparently entrenched at 6 p.m. "We are not getting out of the news business, we are simply re-di- Shrine Circus slated 5 times at arena here The Shrine Circus is returning to Kellogg Center Arena later this month for five performances of the all-new Royal Hanneford Circus. Performances are scheduled for noon and 7 p.m. Friday, Jan.

30, and 11 a.m. and 3 and 7 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 31. Tickets for the circus will go on sale Monday at the Kellogg Center Arena box office and various outlets at $8, $7 and $6.

Setting It Straight The Michigan International Air Show Trade Expo at Kalamazoo County Airport will be June 13-14.

An incorrect date was reported. recting our efforts," he said. Crawford said the final decision to change was made Wednesday. it has come down to simple numbers," he said Friday. "We have spent well over $1 million the past two years but have yet to make a dent at 6 p.m.

It is time to offer viewers an alternative." Crawford said Channel 41 has only about 2 percent of the market share at 6 p.m. while WOTV, Channel 8 in Grand Rapids, leads the area ratings with a 28 percent share, WZZM is second with 27 percent and WWMT, Channel 3, in Kalamazoo is third with 18 percent. Since resuming news operations two years ago, Crawford said Channel 41 ratings for the 6 p.m. broadcast never climbed above a 4 percent share of the market. The biggest problem was trying to crack an established market.

"We were the new kid on the block," he said. WUHQ began its 5:30 and 6 p.m. news format in September 1984 after two years without a news program. "We have found that the competition is stronger today than when we started two years ago," Crawford said. "We are not gearing down but are looking for our niche.

We set goals (two years ago) in terms of where we would like to be but we have not met those goals." Crawford said the format for 41 Alive is not firm. Trudy Yarnell, who hosts the 5:30 p.m. show, will be joined by news anchors Ellen Akins and Roger Follebout and meteorologist Bill Rogers. Crawford said no decision on sports reports has been made. The WUHQ news staff of 17-19 people will be trimmed to about 12.
