TV radio By Ion Mc-cDonold There's a great packing of bags going on at the CBC, where a long overdue shuffle is at last occurring among middle rank executives. Ken Davey, CBMT's station manager, is one of them. Davey, 54. is being transferred to Vancouver, where he'll be head of radio for the British Columbia region effective Nov.

1. "I have mixed feelings about leaving," Davey says. "I've been here 24 years." Indeed it is understood that Davey resisted the switch but finally was persuaded his transfer was nothing sinister, but part of the general shakeup. "I think you'll see a lot of people moving around in the next few months," he says. If so, his successor here will likely be parachuted in from another centre.

And another key vacancy that of director of CBM and CBM-FM has occurred in the CBC's Montreal operation with the promotion of Kay Maelver to head of English radio for the Quebec region, chiefly Montreal. quickie ratings indicate a small audience dividend of the networks costly vigil. CBS and NBC coverage of Monday's opening session drew' the least viewers for the time period in New York, where the evening's most watched program was a Mets-San Francisco baseball game. No doubt, interest picked up by last night's nominating session. Al Hamel, in from Los Angeles today for five tapings of Beat the Clock at Channel 12, is expected to meet with CBC brass this trip to discuss casting of the Montreal-based comedy series he'll do this fall as a co-venture with the CBC Julie Andrews was asked the other day why she agreed to take on the pressures of putting out a weekly variety series for the next two seasons.

"In the first place I was offered a vast amount of money," she said of her $4 million contract with ABC and ATV, the private English concern Sometime critic Rex Reed visits with guest host Joey Bishop on The Tonight Show this evening (Ch. 5, following the convention telecast) ABC offers a one-hour highlights broadcast of the Boris Spassky-Bobby Fischer chess match, Sunday afternoon (Ch. 8 at 5 o'clock). Doubtless they'll have slow motion replays of vital moves. ABC flexing muscles Having finally achieved ratings comparable to CBS and NBC, ABC is flexing its muscles with announcements of plans for several prestige specials and short-run series.

You may know that it has bought the Joseph Lash biography Eleanor and Franklin, about the Roosevelts, for a six to eight-part dramatized documentary to be produced by David Susskind. And you may have heard that it's purchased American rights to a British treatment of Eugene O'Neill's Long Day's Journey Into Night, in which Sir Lew Grade is investing $650,000 of ATV's money. The adaptation will run three hours and in Britain they're saying it's the most ambitious in the history of English television. A formidable cast will be headed by Sir Laurence Olivier. Just now ABC is first to announce plans in connection with the 25th anniversary of American network televison, which occurs in 1973.

ABC's 90-minute salute, set for Sept. 10 this year, will star pioneer performers Lucille Ball, Milton Berle, Perry Como, Sid Ceasar and Bob Hope. How, you may fairly ask, could they leave off Ed Sullivan? Probably because Sullivan has a deal with CBS calling for a 25th anniversary special of his own. LONDON (Renter) -Britain's new independent Broadcasting Authority officially came into being yesterday, in advance of the establishment of some 60 commercially-sponsored radio stations based in major towns. The IBA, replacing the 18-year-old Independent sion Authority, will have overall responsibility for these stations as well as commercial television stations.

Its chairman is Lord Ayle-stone, a former secretary of state for Commonwealth affairs and ITA chairman since Nuclear tests held by France PARIS (AP) French nuclear tests took place June 21 and June 30 at Mururoa, the French testing ground in the Pacific, Agence France-P resse reported yesterday quoting informed sources. The defence ministry would make no comment. A plane accident marred the second test, AFP said. A meteorological aircraft crashed soon aftre taking off from the forward base of Hoa, near Mururoa, it reported. Several French ships which took part in the nuclear tests have gone back to nearby Papeete, said the agency.

They are expected to rdturn to Mururoa artund July 20 for a third and possible final test, it added. Mentioned in passing OPENING TONIGHT 3 NIGHTS ONLY: JULY 13, 14,15 nn 5 in i 1 I ii li r-!

"I think what we'd like to do is explore the concept again, to see if we can still reach that wider audience with a given quality of service," said CBC president-designate Laurent Picard before leaving for a Barcelona conference of the European Broadcasting Union. On the EBU's agenda is the matter of broadcast coverage of the 1976 Montreal Olympic Games Channel 12 has sold Know Your Sports, a quiz program with Dick Irwin to five other CTV affiliates The CBC will pick up George McGovern's acceptance speech tonight (at 10 o'clock, according to CBC spokesmen). NBC and CBS will of course continue their gavel-to-gavel coverage of the Democratic convention.
