MORNING By Robert A. McLean Globe Staff WLVI-TV (Channel 56) has moved quickly to expand and refine its evening news operation as the only remaining independent station in the Boston-Worcester-Manchester, N.H., triangle by adding a live 30-minute daily telecast.

The Ch. 56 "News At Ten" will add political commentator Howie Carr to its local on-air team two nights a week and pick up the Independent News Network (INN) "Nighttime Edition," anchored by former veteran CBS newsman Morton Dean, effective Feb. 3. Boston Herald columnist Carr's report will air Monday and Wednesday, providing political commentary that could expand as state election campaigning begins to heat up. Carr was a political reportercommentator for WNEV-TV (Channel 7) for two years, 1982-84.

WLVI became the only station among seven independents serving the Boston area with a full newscast when WNDS-TV (Channel 50), of Derry, N.H., dropped its 10 p.m. weeknightly reports last week. Channel 50 president William H. Smith cited economic reasons for suspension of the 30-minute show, which premiered in September 1983, a year before the Ch. 56 "News At Ten" made its debut.

Plagued by static and somewhat soft ratings for its 10 o'clock news despite the addition this year of Boston Celtics broadcasts as a lead-in or follow-up attraction the WLVI move was, in part, designed to shore up its news operation. General manager Gerald Walsh announced that beginning Monday. Feb. 3, Ch. 56 would add the half hour of national news at 10:30, anchored by Dean.

WXNE-TV (Channel 25) had carried the INN report at 1 a.m. for the past year. Walsh stressed that adding Dean's INN national-international report will enhance the Ch. 56 coverage, increase viewer potential and adhere to the Ch. 56 promotional pitch that a 10 p.m.

report allows viewers to get their news and get to bed before 1 1 p.m. Nielsen ratings for November recorded an average of 62,000 viewers for "News at Ten," a slight decrease from the previous MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. Birthday tributes Martin Luther King Jr. will be remembered on his birthdate in two special reports tonight, "MLK: We Are The Dream" at 8 p.m. on Ch.

7, in which he is portrayed by Boston actor Al Eaton, and "Martin Luther King: The Dream and The Drum," a Ruby Dee-Ossie Davis recollection of the slain civil rights leader at 9 on Ch. 2.

Shirley 50 Brady 56 Flying Nun 64 1. 1 CBS again tops ratings United Press International NEW YORK CBS won the ratings race for the second week in a row, thanks in large part to its new Sunday movie strategy.

NBC came in second, despite the one-two combination of "The Cosby Show" and "Family Ties" at the lop of the ratings list. ABC remained a poor third. The story of the CBS victory involves a change in strategy. The network had been airing regular programming on Sunday nights -I he heaviest viewing night of the week. Its lineup was very successful, unless the opposition came up with a big movie.

CBS in the meantime wanted viewers to watch "Mary," "Foley Square" and "The Equalizer" on Wednesday nights. Its solution was to switch the popular "Crazy Like a Fox" from Sunday to Wednesday nights, dropping "Trapper John, rvl.D." at least for the present, and substituting a Sunday movie. The first part of the strategy worked, and CBS won Sunday night, with its TV movie beating James Bond and "Diamonds Are Forever" on ABC and surprisingly trouncing a replay of NBC's "Fatal Vision" part 1. "Fatal Vision," a sky-high rated mini-series when it first appeared on NBC in (he fall of 1984, finished 63d on a list of 69 shows for the week.

Arbitron recorded 96,000 viewers, about the same number it recorded for "News at Ten" the previous year. The demise of the Ch. 50 nightly newscast also reduced the New I lampshire station's news staff by 20 percent, from 55 to 44 persons, according to general manager Jim Lannin. He said the station will continue its newsbreaks, brief reports that air on the half hour from 5:30 p.m. through midnight.

Daniel Sweeney, one of four Revere officers indicted on a charge of larceny over $100, now will seek to be reinstated onto the police force, said attorney Robert George.

George said he had been informed of Judge Robert Mulkern's decision by a Suffolk Superior Court clerk, but had not seen the ruling. "Justice has been done, because Dan Sweeney is an innocent man and a good police officer," said George. Sweeney was indicted last June on the larceny charge, along with Peter DiStasio, Wayne Anderson and Carl Moschella. Indicted on a perjury charge were Robert Silva and Austin Boyington. All six were suspended from their jobs without pay.

Authorities alleged the officers responded to a Feb. 1 break-in at the Northgate shopping center store and then some of them looted it, putting merchandise into the trunk of a police cruiser. Store officials reported about $2,700 in merchandise missing. George said the judge acted on a motion to dismiss the charge because of insufficient evidence. editorial feature focusing upon current national issues.
