"It's (the programming) is a smart move," Painter said. 'There is a tremendous demand for syndicated reruns.

Some have even developed cult followings a small number of loyal fans. Movies area also a good choice. People are looking for alternatives to network programming." One sizeable segment of the television market that is looking for alternative programming is those who are fed up with what they consider to be excessive sex and violence aired over most commercial television stations. Channel 28's Wheeler said his station will offer "family programming" targeted for children and also the 18-year-old to 34-year-old market. Wheeler said he and the nine other partners who have more than $2 million invested in the station have grown increasingly disappointed with the standard fare being beamed into homes by the network stations.

He said Channel 28 wilt attempt to provide shows that will not offend most viewers.

(Hames is a former Channel 44 executive.) But the driving force behind WFTS from the beginning has been Wheeler. Since 1961, when he helped put WETA in Washington, D.C., on the air, Wheeler success fully has launched four independent stations.

In 1971, he teamed with the then relatively unknown Ted Turner to' start up WRET in Charlotte; (Turner, now headquartered in Atlanta, has since become one of the giants of the industry and perhaps the biggest single non-network force.) Wheeler's most recent television project was WZTV, an independent station he founded in Nash ville in 1976. He was able to sell the Tennessee station in 1979 at a profit of several million dollars. Wheeler said the Tampa station will be patterned largely after his Nashville operation. More than $2 million already has been invested in Channel 28. station is completing a $1 million tower facility in Riverview where the station's Zy2 million watt trans mitter the most powerful in the area will be located.

Wheeler said. Channel 28 also is constructing a studio and office building on a 1.2-acre site at Interstate 4 and 48th Street. The half-mil-lion dollar grounds and building wilt house another half-million dollars, worth of the latest in video equip ment, including four studio color cameras.

pects to attract a younger than the network affiliates. Wheeler said the station plans to offer a full list of children's programming in the afternoon and gradually move into teen-age and young adult scheduling in the early evening. Peter Klein, an account executive at the Tully-Menard advertising agency, said the younger skewing of Channel 28's audience combined with its relatively low rates may result in the station being to attract some advertising dollars away from radio stations. Although radio rates are generally less expensive, some time slots such as mornings when commuters listen to their radios as they drive to work are fetching up-; wards of $100 for a standard 60-sec-ond radio spot. Klein contends that one reason for the escalating radio rates is that advertising dollars are spilling over from sold-out TV stations.

"I think that a lot of radio stai tions get the (advertising) budgets they get because the availability is not there on TV," Klein said. Tra sure Channel 28 will take some doN Iars from radio and maybe print, too." Bergen Newell, an executive. at the Hilton advertising agency, said; the arrival of a new major advertise ing vehicle, whether it be a new television station like Channel 28 or last year's debut of Tampa Magazine, works two ways. First, he said, a new outlet increases competition especially during the early stages among the; media. But the long-term result is more significant.

"People will tend to increase1 their budgets," Newell said. As the choices grow, advertisers will be forced to grow more sophisticated in their promotional strategies. "We'll see better and better local advertising," Newell said.
