CBS (409958) A musically gifted ex-con (Darius McCrary) has a hard time starting his life over again until a saintly grandmother (Irma P. Hall) lends a hand. fl "Great Books: Crime Punishment" p.m.TLC (193107). By Phil Kloer pkloerajc.com WGNX, Atlanta's CBS affiliate, will change its call letters to WGCL on July 4 as part of the owners' ongoing efforts to remake the station's image. The change is primarily concerned with marketing, and will not affect WGNX's position on cable systems or its broadcast signal.

"It's not something you do lightly," general manager Allen Shak-lan said. WGNX has been lagging in the ratings for years, last in local news and under-performing for CBS, although there have been some recent improvements in the station's ratings. "But there's not a lot of call letter identification in most markets," said creative services director Mimmi Mathis, "so I don't think people are going to be that confused." The new letters, GCL, stand for Georgia Clear Television, and will be tied to a campaign in which WGNX markets itself as "Clear TV" and "Clear News," the way WSB uses "Action News" and WXIA uses "Eyewitness News." An ad campaign on WGNX starts today, using the Johnny Nash song "I Can See Clearly Now." To kick off the change, the station will broadcast the July 4 fireworks from Lenox Square, a special that's been aired by WXIA for several years. WGNX promised Lenox sponsors a two-hour show (it has been one hour). WGNX was bought last year by Meredith Corp.

after years of languishing with a small budget under the Tribune Co. Meredith vowed to make the station competitive in Atlanta, and has added three hours of local news, hired 40 new staffers and broken ground on a digital headquarters in Midtown. Shaklan said the change in call letters is "the first step in phase two" of the station's improvement process. Special takes a look at Tost Cartoons' Geisel Dr. Seuss.

World War II-era cartoon ToonHeads" 8:30 p.m. Sunday on the featuring By Chris Kaltenbach BALTIMORE SUN Cartoon enthusiasts are in for a treat Sunday, as the Cartoon Network's weekly collection of rare and historic cartoons, "Toon-Heads," features a collection of animated shorts that have never been seen on television. "The Lost Cartoons" special includes such fabled gems as: "Bosko the Talk-ink Kid," the first-ever talking cartoon. "Lady Play Your Mandolin," the first Merrie Melodies cartoon from Warner Bros. Studios.

"Private Snafu," a series of cartoons produced for the Army Signal Corps, whose hero, the bumbling Private Snafu, specialized in doing what a trained soldier shouldn't do if he wants to stay alive. Many of the three-minute cartoons were written by Theodor Cartoon Bugs Bunny, Network. Elmer Fudd and Porky Pig urging audiences to buy savings bonds. "Cryin' for the Carolines," one of a series of "Spooney Melodies" produced by Leon Schlesinger in the late '20s and early '30s. The series, which was abandoned when Schlesinger began work on Warner Merrie Melodies in 1931, featured abstract designs accompanying arranged music.

"Three's a Crowd," a TV pilot from animator Friz Freleng that combined animation and live action to chronicle the adventures of a cartoonist named Griff and his tiny cartoon alter ego, Philbert.

Since the debut of the network's "Survivor," Denver says he's repeatedly been asked how the show compares to the fictional situations faced by the passengers of the shipwrecked Minnow.

"We didn't have rats to eat and we had no poisonous snakes," Denver said. "We had pretty much a vegetarian diet and some fish."
