However, Carr said last week that attempts to obtain a better deal are nothing new in the industry and denied Grant Broadcasting is in any financial difficulty. "We just entered into an agreement to build a new independent station in Salt Lake City." Carr was not available for comment yesterday.

Attempts to reach officials for Embassy and Viacom for comment also were unsuccessful. It is highly unusual for a station to make changes, especially a realignment as drastic as Channel 33's, on short notice because such shifts can be self-defeating. Many viewers rely on weekly newspaper supplements and TV Guide. People expecting to find the programs listed are disappointed when they are not there and potential fans of the replacement programs are unaware they are on. This is especially true during a ratings sweeps period the November sweeps end tonight because ratings during these periods are usually the basis for advertising rates until the next sweeps, which is in February.

Denita Welsh, the programming director at Channel 33, said the Embassy programs were taken off the air lest a warehousing clause be triggered. This provision gives syndicators the right to reclaim a program after a station has burned off a set percentage of the plays it purchased. Welsh said a typical warehouse clause might stipulate that once a station uses 85 percent of the plays it purchased, then takes the show off the air, the syndicator can ask for the program to be returned. For example, suppose a station buys the rights to 100 exposures of a show. If it uses 86, then pulls the program off the air, the syndicator could ask for it back.

The idea is to prevent stations from hoarding product to keep it away from competitors. "We fight like hell to get those clauses out," one programmer said, "but the syndicators fight like hell to keep them in." Welsh said the Embassy shows taken off the air fit into this warehouse clause category. She said their run was terminated abruptly because the warehouse clauses in some cases would have kicked in at the middle of this week. Welsh said she would not comment on Grant Broadcasting's renegotiations with syndicators. She referred questions to Carr, who was said to be in meetings ail day.

agreed to pay for reruns of off-network series. A WBFS official said the changes were made for strategic reasons. Pulled from Channel 33's schedule as of Monday were reruns of "Good Times," "The Jeffersons." "Maude," "Archie Bunker's Place" and "What's Happening." All but "What's Happening" are syndicated by Embassy. An executive at one local station, who asked not to be identified lest the station's relationship with program suppliers be harmed, said, "I know Embassy pulled the shows." A high-ranking official at another station, who spoke under the same conditions, said, "I don't know if Embassy has pulled all its shows (off Channel 33, but I can tell you they have had people in the market shopping around 'The which Milt Grant owned." A high-ranking representative of another local station, who also asked not to be identified, said, "I know Embassy is looking for a new home for 'Good I've also been approached about other Embassy shows that WBFS owns." Milt Grant owns Channel 33, as well as stations in Philadelphia and Chicago. Last week, Jerry Carr, Grant's director of TV operations, said the group was trying to renegotiate downward its contracts with a number of syndica-tors.

He said some syndicators have taken a hard line against making concession on pricing. In the course of Grant Broadcasting's renegotiations, blocks of programs have been taken off the air in Philadelphia and Chicago. For example, "All in the Family," which is distributed by Viacom, was taken off Grant's Chicago station at mid-week earlier this month. Next week, "All in the Family," which has been running twice daily, at 7:30 and 1 1:30 p.m., will disappear from Channel 33.
