Quite a bit though much of it still visible For instance: On Sept 7 KXTV will scrap its 6:30 pm weekday news broadcast On Sept 17 KXTV will launch First News" at 4:30 pm weekdays Also on Sept 17 the name "Eyewitness will be replaced by 10" When KXTV was sold it had a news staff of 40 the smallest of network affiliates It now has 47 with more additions planned If changing a name seems piddling part of KXTV news director Roger plan to boost morale and identity at a station where both have been low "The name 'Eyewitness could be he said 'News says us Every little bit Belo also owns TV stations KHAU in Houston KOTV in Tulsa WVEC In Norfolk Va and WFAA and KZEW-FM radio in Dallas And the parent company of the Dallas Morning News Perhaps the important change at KXTV is attitude For years the station had almost a country-club atmosphere Under its old owner the Corinthian Broadcasting Group it won a few battles but lost many more Staff and management could always say they were outgunned by their wealthier rivals especially KCRA Channel 3 which has a news staff of 80 and leads the local ratings race by a wide margin KOVR Channel 13 has an editorial staff of about 60 Bergson came to KXTV eight months ago from Detroit and staffers say he changed attitudes for the better Expectations are higher And so is performance as even rivals admit have spent a great deal of time and money for nothing On paper First should work KXTV KCRA and KOVR have done studies that Indicate TV news at that time will fly here as it has In BobWisehart TV columnist many other cities So First will be watched closely by rivals If it takes off look for at least one other station to start a newscast at that time Bergson doesn't mind being a guinea pig Somehow he knows KXTV must move out of the pack and First Is a first step I came here I looked around and saw everybody doing the same he said like having choices of three kinds of chocolate ice cream Maybe somebody should start manufacturing Most late afternoon news shows across the country are more feature-oriented than Bergson claims First will be The thrust will be toward live local-breaking stories what Bergson called Jack Webb 'just the pieces I lot of stuff will still be going on and have a lot on he said be doing stories in progress that we can expand on The broadcast also will include movie reviews abbreviated sports and weather and a recurring feature Bergson struggles to describe: sociological look at pop culture those little sorts of offbeat things that help us define what we The new alignment requires reshuffled anchors First anchors will be Bob Burton and Jennifer Smith Dick Cable and Kathryn Kiefer will handle the 5 and 11 pm weekday shows Harry Stockman (weather) and Larry Maneely (sports) will work at 4:30 5 and 1 1 pm That Tune" will fill the 6:30 pm weekday slot Perhaps First as important for what it is as for what it represents a sign that KXTV is a serious player in the TV news game though
