Sears Ph. Don Ohlmeyer, executive producer of NBC Sports, believes the North American Soccer League is at least 10 years away from returning to national network programming, despite the rise in popularity of the sport in the United States in the past several years. Ohlmeyer admitted recently at a press conference in Los Angeles that soccer is fast becoming a major sport in this country but, he says, contractural differences between the networks, sponsors and the NASL have helped prevent the major networks from televising soccer games in the same vein as the National Football League or major league baseball. Also conflicts in schedules with other sports, the needs and demands of the soccer league, and the battle for the sponsorship dollar have contributed to the reluctance of NBC, for example, to televise soccer matches, Ohlmeyer said. "We have talked with the NASL about televising their games.

We wanted certain things. They wanted certain things. We just couldn't reach agreement," Ohlmeyer stated. Currently, NASL games are broadcast on a limited national basis by independent networks (TVS this season), plus regional telecasts by independent TV stations who contract with individual teams to show games in their particular areas. WTOG-TV, Channel 44 carries Tampa Bay Rowdies games in this area, plus certain national telecasts of other NASL games.

Ohlmeyer also touched on these points: Women's sports are continuing to grow and will be more and more a part of national programming. "Nancy Lopez has had a tremendous impact on TV." SportsWorld (NBC's answer to ABC's Wide World of Sports) is about 50 percent of where he and the network want it to be. The ratings are growing and the show is artistically improving, but he wants more depth and greater variety. The short-lived NBC program "Sports Journal" was a disappointment. "I didn't Jike the direction it was going.

It will be in hiatus until January when we'll put it together properly. We didn't want to destroy the concept by going into it before we were ready. The snag was the people were ready but we had production problems" Networks must not "cow-tow" to sponsors and owners who have bought rights to the sport being televised. "We were the ones who broke the story on the Yankees' unrest last year. We have our own integrity and are becoming more critical.

TV is becoming a combination of entertainment and reporting." Only the NCAA demands prior approval of announcers for sports telecasts. Boxing broadcasts are a dilemma. "Our initial reaction was not to get into boxing at all but we are forced into it because we are in a ratings battle. TV is criticized because we are promoters of the sport and again because we are not. We check as much as we can the validity of rankings and the fighters' contracts, but we are cognizant of the problems of boxing." The network plans greater coverage of more attractive events.

It hopes to show more coverage of European countries and their sports as well as historical vignettes and personal interviews with foreign athletes. NBC wants to do everything possible to insure Los Angeles hosts the 1984 Olympics. "If the games pass us again I think we'll never have Olympic games in the United States again."
