C. The Federal Communications Commission gave its approval late Tuesday to additional VHF television channels for four cities, including Salt Lake City. Salt Lake's award of channel 13 came after a sometimes-stormy 6 12-hour session of the commission. The vote was 4-3. FCC Chairman Charles D.

Rainbows with pots of gold are make-believe; make-believe is much of our business, but for the sake of long and prosperous lives ahead for all of us, make-believe is not and cannot be the way we do business. Silverman sfiid, "Our projections show by 1990 networks and other sources of broadcast television will be spending nearly twice as much on programming as all the major new services combined. My friends, you will not be rid of us. At this point I imagine you might be feeling like the young woman on The Dating Game, who picks bachelor number one only to find hes a balding storm door salesman from Kansas, while bachelor number three is the roller disco king from Ventura.

Nielsen Jr, ratings for the past week of prime time programs were released, showing that even with the Miss America Pageant as the most-watched special, and the Emmy Awards only moderately successful, NBC still could climb no higher than second in the three-network race.

Aiming his remarks at the threat posed by pay television, cable television, home cassettes and video discs, Silverman, the beleaguered umnderkind of network programming, predicted free broadcasting would prevail. Commercial television will remain Hollywoods major customer of TV programming over the next decade and the impact on network television by these new systems has been overstated. There is no bottomless pot of gold at the commercial networks and the burgeoning costs to produce these shows will have to be brought under control, he declared to an audience of more than a thousand packing the hotel ballroom. As my Irish wife could tell you, guarding the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow is a sly leprechaun spinning tales of easy riches. If some of you have been listening to these tales Im here to built on the causeway of Great Salt Lake.

The construction company took the matter to district court, however, maintaining that the states motor fuel tax should be assessed only when vehicles are operated on the road, not when they are used to build the road. Following the district courts agreement with the company, the Tax Commission appealed to the Utah Supreme Court. The builder of a seven-mile road between Syracuse and Antelope Island dues not owe the state nearly $25,000 in motor fuel taxes, the Utah Supreme Court has ruled in upholding a lower court decision. The State Tax Commission had originally ruled that Parson Asphalt Products of Centerville, should pay $24,196.82 in taxes on fuel used in reconstructing the highway. The road is Festival to Close W.
