He said he's planning to "take It one step at a time" and "go after the 10 o'clock news where we've made some very good gains." And what about his strategy for the next important rating period in November? "I'm not about to put it in your column," he said, declining to discuss specifics.

"But I think you can look forward to some different things from News 36. format and style." ABC's Barbara Walters spends, too much time hobnobbing with the stars to be considered a serious newswoman anymore, but when the chips are down, she's still the one who can nail down the big exclusive interviews on television. Sunday she flew to France and sat down in a fancy rented villa to talk with Jean-Claude Duvalier, the recently deposed "president for life" of Haiti, and his glamorous wife Michele. The interview is the first one "Baby Doc" has given since fleeing his native country. The segment Is scheduled to air tonight on 2020 (at 9 p.m., Channel 24).

a Vic Scarborough, Austin CableVl-sion's vice-president of marketing, said he gave us faulty information and wants to correct it. In Monday's TV column, we said viewers need a Scientific Atlanta Channel Selector in order to watch the U.S. Senate proceedings on C-Span II (Cable 55). Scarborough now says ers who have cable-ready TV sets that receive 127 channels or more "probably can pick up Cable 55" without the channel selector. He said all subscribers whose TV sets receive a frequency called QQ definitely can receive Cable 55 without the selector.

How do you know if your TV receives the QQ frequency? You'll have to look in the literature that came with the set or call the dealer. But if you don't have a cable-ready set or if your cable-ready set only receives 50 or 60 channels, you will have to rent the Scientific Atlanta Channel Selector ($3 a month from CableVision) to watch C-Span II on Cable 55.

The dramatic flip-flop that happened In the local news ratings In February has happened again, but this time the flip-flop is back to the way the ratings have been for the previous five years. KVUE-TV Channel 24 (Cable 3) is once again the No. 1 newscast in town at 5, 6 and 10.

Back In February, KTBC-TV Channel 7 (Cable 2) made headlines by deposing Channel 24's No. 1 newscast with a surprise victory at 10 p.m. and a tie with Channel 24 at 6. It was the first time since 1981 that Channel 7 had been able to regain its status as the local news leader. At the time, Channel 24's news director Russ Stockton and executive producer Bob Buckalew questioned the accuracy of the survey, while Tim Gardner, Channel 7's news director, said he thought the station's "hard work has finally paid off." In light of the recently released Arbitron survey for May, however, the February survey looks more like a statistical fluke than a sudden shift in viewing patterns.

"We wish we were No. 1, but we're not," said Gardner. "We've been improving steadily. We're up at 5 and 6 from last year. At 10 we didn't get helped out any by CBS's prime-time lead-in.

I still think we're growing and getting better." As for why Channel 7 lept to No. 1 in February only to be shot down again in May, Gardner said he didn't know how to explain it. "I really couldn't say what happened," he said. "But I'm not that worried about it, frankly. Since November 1981, Channel 24 has had the advantage of that regular viewing habit It's hard to get people to change." In the May Arbitron ratings, Channel 24 was firmly in first place with its early newscast at 5 p.m.

drawing a 10 rating and 29 percent share of the audience. Channel 7's newscast at 5 earned a respectable 7 rating and 21 percent of the audience. KTW-TV, Channel 36 (Cable 4), the perpetual last-place finisher, wound up in its usual place with Jeopardy earning a 6 rating and an 18 share. At 6 p.m., Channel 24 drew a whopping 18 rating and 38 share, while Channel 7 drew a 15 rating and 31 share. At 10 p.m., which was Channel 24's surprising downfall in February, the station regained its Prims tlmo 7:00 (DOdJUa Crazy Uk a Fox Harry and Harrison investigate the origin of a phony photograph of Hank Aaron with Harry and several others In the background.

"If you're asking me for an explanation (for February), I sure don't have one," said Stockton. "In the May book, we're back up to what the levels were before, with the same kind of margins. (The May book) seems to track what we think our performance has been for the past five years.

I'm just really at a loss to explain it" At 6 p.m., Channel 36 had a 4 rating and a 9 share; the station improved slightly with a 9 rating and an 18 share at 10 p.m. Apparently the great Australian anchor-swap didn't do for Austin what it did for Adelaide. Tonia Cooke's guest stint in Adelaide boosted the station Down Under to No. 1 in the ratings, but Anne Ful-wood's stint in Austin failed to register a similar explosion on the ratings scale. new reporter, a recently released prison In-, mate, begin taking unnecessary risks.

Tom Bro-kaw's Nightly News recently surpassed Dan Rather's CBS Evening News in the ratings, but the NBC news in Austin is a distant third behind CBS and ABC. Even NBC's No. 1-rated Today Show is in third place in Austin. "Austin is a unique market," said Henry Chu, Channel 36's news director of only three months. Chu said he rated the anchor exchange a success because the Austin audience was bigger during the week of May 12 when Fulwood was here than it was either the week before or the week after she came.

"It's an improvement" he said. "I don't believe in quick fixes, and the Adelaide experiment wasn't an attempt at a quick fix. What we hoped to do was demonstrate what the quality and commitment at News 36 is all about and I think we did that "Prior to the anchor exchange, it was obvious to us that people were not sampling our product. We're hoping the exchange permitted people to sample us and see that News 36 has improved over the past 12 months." water-loaded automatic weapon. (R) (H! Mystery!
