Entertainment '11 MONDAY, APRIL 10. 1995 umorsMbout broadcast affiliate in Lincoln unfounded In February I wrote a'column about the plans of Citadel communications to move Albion, to the Capital City as a full-service, ABC I rhapsodized, rather freely about what the move might mean for Lincoln viewers. I saw the new broadcast competition as a definite plus. But broadcasting, like many an industry, often thrives on rumors rumors about people, companies and intentions. And I heard some interesting scuttlebutt in the past Week that tempered my enthusiasm for the new station.

An industry source (who. declined to be identified) claimed the following: The new station would not be a' stand-alone station, but run as a satellite of KCAU in Sioux City. The new station would not have a full-service news department, but merely have a two- or three-person i bureau, i 'r Citadel is too tight with a dollar to make the investment necessary to compete with KOLNKGIN. Pulitzer Broadcasting (owner of ABC affiliate KETV in Omaha) is so livid over a second ABC station in its coverage area that it likely will sue both ABC and the FCC over the transfer. This could lead to wholesale sta- tion affiliation changes across the ''market.

All of the above assertions are baseless, according to a Citadel Ray, Cole, Citadel executive vice-, president, assured me on the record for both facilities and programming, demonstrate that it has come to the ballpark to play and has every reason, to do the same in Lincoln. Pulitzer, for its part, pooh-poohed the proposition that it was profoundly peeved. Pulitzer head Ken Elkins phoned me from St. Louis to say that, while his company was not thrilled at ABC's decision to approve a Lincoln affiliate, there was nothing it could or would try to do about it. Instead, he said, KETV was busy upgrading its coverage of western Iowa and extending the "NewsWatch 7 Live Link" to Ames.

He also said that KETV had signed a new, 10-year affiliate contract with ABC. So much for rumor. The FCC has yet to give the final green light for the new station, but Cole hopes to get an update while at next week's National Association of Broadcasters meeting in Washington. Stay tuned. JOE A'TIMMO STRIKE AGAIN DEPARTMENT: Those irrepressible imps at KTGL-FM 92.9 had a field day with an April Fool's prank two weekends ago.

Listeners were treated to "remotes" from a fictitious Husker Appreciation Parade through down-t town Lincoln. The brief sketches, about a dozen in all, had Joe Timmo describing a bevy of parade day activities, as well as reviewing the pretended procession of marching bands, floats and balloons (including a hovering Bob Devaney). The vignettes gave ample opportunity for Joe Timmo to lampoon some local celebrities (Rose Blumkin's scooter was involved in a parade pile-up, for example). What's truly remarkable is that the boys were able to rope Mayor Mike Jo-hanns and Gov. Ben Nelson into the fun, getting them to do scripted interviews.

Their performances were a tad wooden, but funny and charming nonetheless. The whole business required a level of planning, writing and production that most radio stations wouldn't bother with. But the result was a creative, off-beat, multi-part radio 1 TOM JOHNSON Airwaves that the new station would be the real thing, with a staff of 40-45 full-time people (including a full-service news department), similar to the number employed at KCAU in Sioux City. He also said that Citadel's investment in the formerly state-owned WOI-TV in Des Moines, including major outlays drama. KTGL should release the complete parade on cassette.

It's material worth keeping. A gn: Vtekl 8. Reynoldi LINCOLN, NE. JOURNAL' I f-V I v. -vMi HO MONDAY PRILSE-TIUE TV Lincoln cable Over-air TV EtianiwlJ 6 P.m.

"It just seemed like something the character in that song would say." Songwriting is probably Petty's greatest interest. Before he got a recording contract of his own, he worked as a ghostwriter for Leon Russell. "The way it worked was, I would write a song called Satisfy Petty told Flanagan.

"Leon would rewrite it as 'I Wanna Satisfy You' and I'd get no credit. But I could never feel bad about Leon it was a great learning experience." Of the songs on his new album, Petty seems proudest of the title tune, "Wildflowers." As he told Musician "That's the only song that ever came complete to me in one Petty's current album, "Wildflow-ers." illustrates the pattern Crow Released late last year, the album has been a steady seller (sales are well past the 2 million mark) and has so far, spun off two typically catchy singles, "You Don't Know How It Feels" and "You Wreck Me." Interestingly, "You Don't Know How It Feels" raised some eyebrows, thanks to the couplet "Well let's get to the pointLet's roll another joint." But where another artist might have turned the controversy Into a call for the legalization of Petty took the opposite tack. Rather than be seen as advocating drug use. he offered alternate versions of the song, one of which reverses the word "joint," so it becomes "tnioj." while the other changes the second line toilet's hit another joint" (as in "let's go somewhere pacto Extra Pillars of Faith: The Cate Abundant Life Holy Week Mass Say Yes Holy Rosary Father Ray Caminando Jesus chism Explained seems to apply.

As a result, about the only thing most fans really know about him is his music and that's one reason fellow musicians admire him so. "I'm a big fan of his." Sheryl Crow said recently. "For a lot of reasons. Certainly the music and the songwriting and stuff. But I've never seen anybody who can consistently put out good records, have success with them, and not be in the media eye all the time.

There's never any big controversy or any big hype around him. He comes out, he puts out something good, he puts out a couple of good videos, and his career's consistent.
