1997 Entertainment 'Prince' plans tour until 1999 and end with a big show in a secret location. Along the way, he'll be joined by No Doubt, George Clinton, Carlos San-tana, Chaka Khan and Lenny Kravitz. The Artist said the tour actually began Monday in Detroit. NEW YORK (AP) He once promised to party like it's 1999. Now he says he'll keep touring until then.

The formerly media-shy entertainer known variously as Prince or The Artist held a news conference Tuesday to announce a world concert tour that will stretch through 1999 PBBBtfc- A daily guide lo Streator's finest in La Baassssji aa fining and Entertainment CALL 673-3771 FOR FAST HOME DELIVERY LUi.i.i.u;i News shows, 'Roar' score high ratings NEW YORK Television viewers are eager for something new this summer, even if it means stretching back to 400 A.D. The premiere of the Fox series "Roar," an action-adventure show set centuries ago in the land that would become Ireland, finished 22nd in the ratings and won its time slot, Nielsen Media Research said Tuesday. Six newsmagazines finished among Nielsen's top 10 shows, including CBS' "48 Hours." Dan Rather's show made its first top 10 appearance since 1994 despite competing against NBC's "ER." NBC won the week with a 7.2 rating land 14 share, followed by CBS' 6.8 rating and 13 share, rating and 12 share and Fox's 4.7 rating and 9 share Despite finishing fourth, Fox claimed to be the only network to post higher ratings compared to last year for the summer period dominated by reruns. Fox has been more aggressive in offering original pro-gramming for the summer. "I think there was a feeling that neither Fox nor network television can hang up the 'gone fishing' sign every summer," Fox spokesman Jeff DeRomesaid.

Besides "Roar," new episodes of "Pacific Palisades" and the reality-based show "Beyond have improved upon Fox's performance in their time slots this summer, he said. Freshness isn't the only factor for Fox: DeRome conceded the network's Sunday night schedule, with "The X-Files" and "The Simpsons" in repeats, is much stronger than last summer's Sunday shows. And the new "Ruby Wax Show" on Monday nights was a dismal failure. AP Photo RECORDING ARTISTS The Wallflowers announce the nominations for the 1997 MTV Video Music Awards Tuesday in New York.
