The station officially signed on the air at 8:30 p.m. and aired its first broadcast at 10 p.m., a station spokesman said.

United Cable Television subscribers this morning, however, were still waiting to see the station's programming. KETK has been assigned cable channel 5 but its programming will not be aired until United Cable can clearly pick up and broadcast KETK's signal, Vince Thomae, United Cable's general manager, said. "The engineers are up in Tyler and Jacksonville working on it (technical difficulties)," Thomae said this morning. "Right now it is not a clear, watchable picture. We're working to resolve the problem this morning." Thomae said United Cable hopes to have KETK's signal tuned in sometime today.

In the meantime, the cable system is temporarily airing Fort Worth NBC affiliate KXAS-TV. Channel 5, on cable stations 5 and 7. When KETK's signal is cleared up, KXAS will be dropped from 5 and shown only on 7, Thomae said. Programming formerly on cable channel 7 is now being shown on a time-share basis on two channels on United's expanded tier of service. works.

The union targeted CBS because in addition to an announcement Sunday that strikers' medical benefits would be terminated, CBS News on Friday laid off 214 people. In a column on an opinion page in today's editions of The New York Times, Rather criticized CBS for the layoffs, which included correspondents, producers and camera operators. He called the network a "valuable Fortune 500 corporation whose stock is setting new records." Ice Skater Weds ANCHORAGE, Alaska (UPI) -Skating superstar Dorothy Hamill married a Los Angeles doctor while in Alaska for an ice show, her publicist said. Publicist Mark Levine said Monday that Hammill, the 1976 Olympic champion, married Dr. Kenneth Forsythe, a physician who specializes in sports medicine, in what Levine described as "a simple ceremony in Anchorage." He said the wedding took place Thursday and Hammill then performed in the show, "Dorothy Hamill's Champions on Ice," Friday and Saturday.

Levine said it is the second marriage for Forsythe, 44, and Hamill, 30. Get the paper. And get it all. Call 592-3818 to place an action-getting 1 classified ad. The cuts, he said, "means we will cover less news.

We will go to fewer places and witness fewer events. For the viewer, that means a product that may inevitably fall short of the quality and vision it once possessed." George Schweitzer, vice president of CBS Broadcast Group, said late Monday that he had not seen Rather's column and could not comment. Also marching outside CBS on Monday was Charles Osgood, CBS radio's resident wit and a television correspondent. "All I know is an awful lot of very fine people, able and professional journalists, who thought they had lifetime careers j.now find themselves out here," he said. "When you have this many good people released at one time, it's bound to have an effect and it can't be good." CBS correspondent Douglas Edwards read a letter, from Richard Salant, former president of CBS News, who said: "If I were not on my way out of the country, I'd be there with my friends at CBS News to demonstrate my sadness and concern about the unhappy events which are occurring.

My best wishes to all at CBS News who are leaving as well as to those who must continue to try to uphold the news tradition in these most trying circumstances." The guild's chief negotiator, Mona Mangan, vowed the union would raise the money to pay for health insurance retroactive to the start of the strike. The networks gave them until March 15 to come up with the $150,000 for a month of coverage. "It's a cold way to do business," MELBOURNE, Fla. (AP) Reliable, cost-effective access to space should remain one of the nation's top priorities well into the next century, government and aerospace industry officials told the head of the Senate Budget Committee. To meet the challenge of competition from the Soviet Union, Europe, Japan, China and others, the officials said, the United States must put its resources behind a renewed shuttle program and a mixed fleet of other manned and unmanned launch vehicles that will make possible a permanently orbiting space station and President Reagan's Stratetic Defense Initiative.

"The American legacy to lead and explore this new frontier is being severely challenged," said George B. Merrick of Rockwell International the builder of the space shuttle orbiters and main engines. That warning was also issued by Joseph Boyd, chairman of Harris a Melbourne-based electronics and communications company. "A balanced NASA program, including space science and technology as well as the space station, is needed to regain our leadership in space," he said. Half a dozen others who testified at a one-man hearing conducted Monday by Budget Committee Chairman Lawton Chiles, also maintained that more, not less, money was needed to realize long-term goals in space use and exploration, i Congressional committees are considering a proposed space agency budget of almost $9.5 billion for fiscal 1988.

After four consecutive days of talks, negotiators for the networks' and the Writers Guild of America took a break Monday. Talks were to resume this afternoon, the ninth day of the strike by 525 writers and editors in a dispute over job security with the two networks and seven network-owned radio and television stations in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles and Washington. The picketing at CBS, with Rather and "60 Minutes" correspondents Diane Sawyer and Ed Bradley participating, was the larger of the demonstrations at the net- HAL1AIN RESTAURANT Tuesday Buffet 1 lam-1 Pizza Sauuge A Pepper Full Variety of Pastas Salad Bar Garlic Toast S395 Tueaday Night 550 All You Can Eat Lasagne 566-4063 Phone Orders Ready in 20 Minutes Across from Chapel Hill High School On New Henderson Hwy.

Gen. Ro'sert R. Rankine testified. Compounding the problems were the failures of two Titan and one Delta rockets carrying military and commercial satellites. NASA sees "no major threats" to resuming shuttle flights next February, although there could be "a few weeks delay depending on how things work out," Dale D.

Myers, deputy administrator of the space agency, testified. But Myers also told Chiles that resumption of shuttle flights and development of unmanned rocketry will still leave the nation short of its space-launch goals for the late 1990s and into the next century. "Current space transportation systems lack the low operations costs, operational versatility and capacity to meet these future needs," he said. Both Myers and Rankine advocated renewed emphasis on development of advanced launch rocketry, in addition to resumption of shuttle missions and research on new space hardware to recover from the Challenger loss. Present plans call for a mixed fleet of both manned and unmanned launch vehicles and smaller, reusable orbital transfer ships, Myers said.

Myers and representatives of the Air Force, aerospace contractors ancl the educational community praised plans for a fourth shuttle orbiter, increased use of expendable launch vehicles, the unmanned onetime-use rockets, and a space station'. Much of the uncertainty of the space program's future is tied in with the space station, which Myers called "the absolute key to our leadership in space." He conceded, however, that "the cost is higher than we had anticipated it to be" and said that NASA was looking for ways to reduce those costs. Joint studies by the National Aeronautics and Space Adminis-tration and the Department of Defense call for an unmanned cargo vehicle and a new-generation shuttle replacement after the year Also in the works, for use in Reagan's SDI, is a Heavy Load Launch Vehicle (HLLV). These could also be used in interplanetary missions and get cargos, such as space station materials, into space more quickly and cheaply than the shuttle. Ms.

Five Czech LIVE MUSIC EVERY NITE 8th thru 11th Perfect Strangers 12th thru 14th Straight Shot 18th thru 18th Texas Lace PRAGUE, Czechoslovakia (UPI) Five members of the banned Jazz Section of the Musicians Union went on trial for economic crimes today amid applause from more than 200 supporters attending the largest political proceeding in nearly eight years. Jazz Section Chairman Karel Srp and Vladimir Kouril, both held in prison since their arrest Sept. 2, were led into the city courtroom in handcuffs and were greeted by the thunderous applause of more than 200 spectators, mostly young supporters who packed the hallway of the Prague district court.

To Pay $320 Million For Station LOS ANGELES (UPI) Walt Disney which has seen strong success in theme parks, television and movies, announced it plans to become a TV station owner by purchasing KHJ-TV in Los Angeles for $320 million.

If completed, the deal will settle a 22-year dispute over ownership of KHJ, an independent broadcaster that frequently trails in local ratings. In announcing the probable transaction Monday, Disney officials said RKO would receive $217 million and an additional $103 million would be paid to shareholders of Fidelity Television, which had been competing for the station's broadcasting license. The station's license renewal has been stymied by challenges from Fidelity in Federal Communications Commission hearings for the past two decades. The terms of the transaction call for RKO to drop its license renewal application for the station and for the appliction of Fidelity to be granted. Fidelity, a Los Angeles television company formed to launch the bid for KHJ, would then be acquired by Disney.

The transaction is subject to FCC approval. KHJ is owned by RKO General television system, which is a subsidiary of Gencorp of Akron, Ohio. Williams Reynolds, Gencorp's chairman and chief executive officer, said the deal was motivated by a desire to resolve longstanding litigation surrounding the license renewal challenge. The transaction marks Disney's first venture as a commerical television broadcaster, although it has operated the Disney Channel on cable television. "In becoming a commercial broadcaster for the first time, we are taking on a role that fits naturally into all our related entertainment operations," Disney Chairman Michael Eisner said.
