He gets the inspiration for his later books from the antics of Will and Ephram. ABC looks at Channel 5 as having a potentially larger audience than it has now," Gagnon said when asked about the reason for the change in WFRV-TV's affiliation. He attributed the bigger view-ership potential to WFRV-TV's Escanaba satellite station.

"We will look at our options and go from there," the WLUK-TV general manager said. "Obviously, NBC is the most likely option," he said, adding, however, that Channel 11 "could also consider going independent. "We have been trying to reach NBC," Gagnon said, "but the person we need to talk to in New York is on the road and unavailable. We expect to talk to him soon. "We will talk with NBC and tell them what we have to offer.

"You have to remember," Gagnon said, "that NBC needs to remain in this market." He said he expects WFRV-TV's af- 7- 8 Channel 38 "Nova: The Mind Machines" The future may produce machines which could replace their creators.

both its daytime and prime-time programming and the network's "commitment to expansion in the news area. "We believe that in the long term this move will be materially beneficial to us," the WFRV-TV general manager said. "We feel our association with ABC will make WFRV-TV an even stronger affiliate and a dominant leader in the Green Bay market for many years to come." Such popular syndicated non-network programs as "PM Magazine," "Entertainment Tonight," "Hour Magazine" and "Donahue" will continue to be carried on WFRV-TV. "Our local news shows will also remain the same," Southard emphasized, adding that the change in affiliation "does not affect our staff at all. In fact, it should not affect the staffs of either station." Southard said no Federal Communications Commission action is necessary in order for Channel 5 to change its affiliation from NBC to ABC.

"The FCC does not get involved in network affiliations or in programming, for that matter," he explained. He said, however, that the FCC does require a copy of the contract between a network and its local affiliate to be filed with the agency. A Channel 5 news release on the change quoted James Duffy, ABC-TV president, as saying the network had "carefully studied the Green Bay market and feels the station and the network will be helped by making the switch in affiliates. We are particularly impressed with the management at the station and their strong commitment to local news." 'Southard said that although ABC's high opinion of Channel 5's local news programming was a major factor in the network's decision, the station's strong penetration of the Upper Peninsula through its WJMN-TV satellite at Escanaba, Mich. halfway between that city and Marquette, Mich.

"might also have been a factor." The only one of its kind operated by any of Green Bay's television sta-tioas, the full-power Channel 3 station at Escanaba repeats all WFRV-TV programming from Green Bay. Thomas L. Gagnon, general manager of WLUK-TV, said this morning that the station was officially told of the impending change by Post Corporation management Monday morning, which, in turn, had been informed by ABC. Gagnon said, however, that there had been "hints" of the development for about a week. "My best thought would be that BY JOHN MINER Post-Cretcent staff writer GREEN BAY WFRV-TV, Channel 5, and its Escanaba, satellite station, WJMN-TV, Channel 3, will become affiliates of ABC next spring, WFRV officials announced Monday.

Owned by Midwest Communications Inc. of Minneapolis, WFRV-TV has been affiliated with NBC since 1959. The network future of WLUK-TV, Channel 11, the present ABC affiliate 'in this market, was uncertain today, but spokesmen said the station expects to begin conversations soon with NBC with an eye to affiliating with that network. WLUK-TV is owned by Post Corporation of Apple-ton. "We have been in conversation with ABC corporate headquarters in New York over a period of some months and came to a final decision (on affiliating with ABC) Monday morning," Robert O.

Southard, WFRV-TV vice president and general manager, said today. Hesaid thedecision followed ABC's "expressions of interest" in moving to Channel 5 as its Green Bay market affiliate. So far as Channel 5 is concerned, Southard said, "it was one of those difficult decisions-," adding that the station has had "a warm and cordial relationship" with NBC since 1959. "With NBC, we have built WFRV-TV into one of the top affiliates in the nation," Southard said. The exact date of Channel 5's changeover from NBC to ABC "is kind of up in the air," Southard said, "but we're hoping for early April or even earlier, if possible." He said the precise timing will depend upon "further negotiations" between the two Green Bay stations and the two networks involved.

Pressed for a prediction on the future of NBC in theGreen Bay market, the WFRV-TV general manager said "it would be my guess" that WLUK-TV will become the area's NBC affiliate. "The basic reason for shifting our affiliation from NBC to ABC," Southard commented, "is our admiration for ABC management and ABC's innovative programming, especially in reaching viewers in the younger demographic group." Southard cited ABC's success with Needlework pictures hobby of singing star LONDON (AP) When pop singer Dionne Warwick is on the road, she says she spins quite a yarn. "I've been doing needlepoint since my grandmother taught me when I was very young," she told The Standard, London's evening newspaper. She says she fills the dull hours on planes, boats and trains making the needlework pictures. "My pride and joy are 16 dining room chairs I have in Florida which took a complete 40-date world tour to finish," said Warwick, who is appearing at London's Victoria Apollo Theater.
