Monday, Spmbar 982 THE I NPIANAPOLIS NEWS Pag 13 MONDAY TV PROGRAMS Channel 6 Going Into Pay-TV Richard K. Shull i The service won't be available until late next year or early 1984, but WRTV already has signed on for a new ABC project to transmit movies and other entertainment in the middle of the night to home video recorders, according to Jerry Chapman, vice president and general manager. The project, dubbed Home View Network, is i a new variation on payTV. The programs will' be transmitted with a scrambled signal. Sub-! scribers.

will lease a special Sony decoding device to unscramble the signals and tape the programs oh their home video recorders for later playback. An ABC spokesman said present plans are to 1 charge subscribers $19.95 per month for the decoder, but that price could change in the more than a year before the service would be available here. ABC will test the system early next year through its owned and operated stations, and will commence the tests in Chicago over WLS-TV. Affiliated stations, of which Channel 6 is one, will not get in on the action until later, ABC plans to feed the scrambled shows between 2 and 6 a.m., at least five nights a week. That's during hours when the network normally.

does not broadcast its regular programing. The scrambled shows are not intended for immediate viewing, only for taping for later use. The ABC spokesman said present plans call for the special service to include eight recent movies per month, and a mix of cultural, children's and educational shows, i He said no decision has yet been reached the movies offered by HVN will exclude "hard material. In effect, the proposed HVN system will be competition with the network's own pro- the service in its marketing Bought A Biggie The four Indianapolis owners of WENSFM (97.1) have purchased one of the top rock stations in the Minneapolis St. Paul market for $6 million.

Jeff Smulyan, president and general manager of WENS, said that while they still were closing the deal for the purchase of WLOL-FM, but after the sale price had been established, the 100.000- watt Minnesota station took a dramatic leap from a 4.2 percent share to a 10 percent share of the Minneapolis St.Paul market. WLOL is in the nation's 15th largest radio market. Indianapolis is 34th. Smulyan is in partnership in both ventures with attorneys Michael Maurer and Steve Crane, and cable-TV and satellite-receiver operator Robert Schloss. He said Crane will go to Minneapolis to oversee the new acquisition.

Smulyan said the $6 million was the largest price ever paid for a Minnesota radio station. Twice Around The S. now has 170.8 million TV sets in use, according to Television Factbook, put out by Television Digest. That averages but to more than two sets for each of the nation's 82.3 million households, but still short of the day when each of America's 230.9 million people will have their very own The report went on to say that the U.S. has one-third of the world's 517.7 million TV sets.

The Soviet Union is second behind the U.S. in number of with an estimated 70 to 80 million. The report confined itself to the mere numbers of sets extant without any comment on how much America's 82.3 households get from their average 2.075 sets. grams, since most subscribers will play back the material in their own homes during hours when ABC is offering regular broadcasts. "If there is to be competition, we might as well be one of them," the spokesman said, indicating this is one way ABC Can fight back against the cable and pay TV systems which already have taken away about 8 percent of network television's audience.

"Also, it brings our affiliate body into the new technology for the first time he added. This last point is especially important to the local TV. station. ABC network already has diversified itself into cable with a cultural channel, a daytime channel arid a 24 hour news service, and is involved in a future pay-TV sports venture. All of these projects undercut the audience of the broadcast stations affiliated with ABC.

HVN will bring the affiliated stations such as Channel 6 in on the action and help the local broadcaster hedge against future erosion of its broadcast audience due to new alternative entertainment systems. ABC will acquire and transmit the programs bvef its regular network, and Channel 6 will sell WTTV W1IV AtC WISH-CSS WTHI-NBC WHM-MS I 4 6 8 13 20 I P.M.

The schedule is compiled from information furnished by the TV stations. Stations occasionally make last-minute schedule changes and fail to notify The News in time for the change to be made in the published log. Cable Television Cumby Smoking Settle a longrunning dispute. There seems to be some question as to when Gumby, the small clay figure with the partner, Pokey the horse, first appeared on TV. Was the program hosted? If so, by whom? CD.

"Gumby" was a little five-minute filler show. NBC carried 66 of these five minute episodes between March and November 1957. The host on the little show was. Bob Nicholson as Scotty McKee. You ignorant fool.

Your answer to a reader's question on the motive of Brooke Shields' non-smoking commercials irradiated so much narrow-mindedness, I fear I would go blind before I could read you. You didn't contend the questioner, who debated the presence of logic in the commercials. Logic? Is it logical to say a stripper lacks know-how of the dangers of cigarette smoking?
