Vast numbers of viewers who find news boring and prefer watching network reruns or nothing at all were meant to find this latest version of the ABC nightly news, which was unveiled July 10, a captivating attraction. Bells would ring; angels would sing. This was to be the first step toward giving ABC News ratings respectability and ultimate parity with NBC and top-rated CBS. Born again anchorman Frank Reynolds sounded the charge to a spring gathering of ABC affiliates executives in Los Angeles.

"We can do it," he proclaimed. Roone Arledge, president of ABC News and Sports, went even further, suggesting that ABC's "brisker, more lively and more aggressive" news format would benefit not only ABC, but also the nation, as it gave the news a more appealing shape. He called it "the first significant change" in network news since the union of Chet Huntley and David Brinkley in 1956. That he may be right is more an indictment of network news than an endorsement of what his revised ABC program has accomplished in its first two weeks. Although a full appraisal naturally must wait, an initial sampling of ABC's so-called new journalism evokes neither excitement nor much optimism.

Anchor Influence Lessened To its credit, ABC is fulfilling its promise to diminish the anchor influence in its newscast. The network has moved from its highly publicized and frequently roasted anchor tandem of Harry Reasoner and Barbara Walters to a defused anchor system which news vice president and executive producer Av Westin has labeled "regional advocacy," one in which anchoring is shared by Reynolds in Washington D.C., Max Robinson in Chicago and Peter Jennings in London, with Walters assigned to chair special coverage in New York. Who could reject any design which promises an alternative to the oppressive cult of the anchor personality, under which the prestige and appeal of a program rest with those who read the news rather with those who gather and report it? Let's get rid of popularity contests. However, we're speaking of cosmetics and entertainment values here-the wrapping and not what's inside the package, the style but not the content. Using four anchors instead of two is not exactly a profound change in the character of network news.

Something more fundamental was promised with the increased regionalization of news. Deploying Robinson in Chicago was to signal at least a crack in the overwhelming dominance of network news stories by New York, Washington D.C., and points abroad. It hasn't so far. The bulk of news from America's heartland which Robinson has said tends to "slip through the cracks" is still slipping. Such stories, if indeed they are out there hiding behind the cornstalks and waiting to be uncovered, continue to be outsiders on the ABC news.

And rightly or wrongly, the old news dominance is unchanged. The Slighting of Americana Although Robinson, who previously was an anchorman at WTOP-TV in Washington, is doing a large chunk of anchoring from his "national desk" (formerly titled "domestic many of the stories he has introduced, such as a chess match in the Philippines, hardly qualify as Americana. Moreover, Thursday night ABC provided less than four minutes of news not originating from New York, Washington or abroad. Thanks to Arledge, we can see an ABC newscast now without wondering if the departed Reasoner and Walters are still feuding. However, Walters seems to have a vague status on the new program, as if ABC wasn't sure how best to use her.

Part of the time, it's misusing her. Walters at times has been unfairly rapped as a news anchor. She is amply qualified and has proved herself an adept interviewer in news settings. However, there is nothing in her background to prepare her to be a field reporter or analyst of world affairs. Intelligent, yes.

Experienced, no. Yet there she was on one program reporting from Germany, probing the inner meanings of an economic conference in Bonn. Nielsen ratings for the newscast's first week reveal only slight upward movement by ABC compared with the same week in 1977, meaning that perhaps few of those traditional news haters have bothered to tune in even out of curiosity. Viewed against the history of network news and its relatively modest day-to-day achievements, there is little in "The World News Tonight" to be perturbed about, just as there is little that justifies the advance praise by its own executives. That's what's wrong.

It's just another Transmitter Problems Plague Pay-TV Outlet Problems with its transmitter on Mt. Wilson forced the new pay-television company that began operating over KWHY Sunday to suspend service Tuesday night and it will not be on tonight, either. Robert Block, president of American Subscription Television of California, said he hoped service will be restored by Thursday or Friday. In the meantime, Channel 22's regular programming prior to the 8 p.m. changeover to pay-TV fare is continuing.

American Subscription Television is in the process of putting up a new transmitter that will boost the power of KWHY's broadcast signal from 107,000 watts to 2.57 million watts. During final construction work Sunday, Block said, a transmission line burned. SelecTV, as the new pay service is called, went on the air that night and Monday night using the old transmitter but had to shut down to allow the new transmitter to be repaired and completed, he said.
