Vr rnrrr -j 7 ri--'r r- nr Ml TTTJTrf'im Tr' "Tl TU-Radio 8D The Miami Herald Saturday May 21 1983 Big news on local Reagan visit May JP Sandra Local stations risked the wrath of their soap opera fans preempted Jhe popular daytime shows and went live for much of President Earley Television and small size of the staff undermine the product Sanchez who was live at the restaurant made several mistakes including announcing that Nancy Reagan was leaving the car with her husband The First Lady did not make the trip The visit wasn't the 6nly big-news effort by local stations this week The the four-week period when the size of South Florida audiences is measured continues a look at some of the special series: Hair Today Gone Tomorrow This Ch 7 five-parter focused on balding It a weighty subject sort of off the top actually But it was delightful and informative in the hands of soon-to-be-bareheaded David Frankel We learned about attitudes toward the condition and about toupees transplants and the search for a cure to baldness We also had fun For example Frankel and editor Mike Guliano through visual effects snatched the hair off President Reagan and Princess Miami-Dade Community College was in the studio with anchor Ann Bishop to provide analysis and background He also briefly summarized the remarks of foundation president Jorge Mas Canosa On WTVJ-Ch 4 anchor Ralph Renick stumbled through a short explanation then cut away from the speech to anchor Ana Azcuy live at the restaurant where Reagan had lunched She filled time charmingly interviewing the waitress who had served the President He ordered a the waitress said chicken" WCKT-Ch 7 just held its cameras on the speech with an occasional remark by anchor Steve Ron-dinaro Live coverage is common enough locally that all three stations are accomplished at the basics the details that tell the difference Ch 10 devoted the most air time to the visit more than two hours Too much inconsequential chatter filled much of the time outside speeches but the station had also brought in its Washington corr- Ronald Reagan's visit to Little Havana Friday only to come up with egg on their faces for the trouble Not one 6f South Florida's three major stations was prepared to translate an eight-minute speech delivered in Spanish prior to the address at Dade County Auditorium jThey should have been They knew well in advance that the event was sponsored by the Cuban American National Foundation and that the focus of this presidential visit was Hispanic voters 10 recovered best on tin Turner espondent Richard Schlesinger who provided particularly cogent analysis Reporter Victoria story on Hispanic political clout also was a high point Chs 4 and 7 dedicated much of their half-hour noon newscasts to the presidential visit then came back live at 1 for the speech Ch 4 reporters Robyn Carter at the restaurant and Michael Putney inside the auditorium performed workman-like service Not so Rick Sanchez of Ch 7 His station is beginning to assemble South strongest 6 pm newscast but in pressured circumstances such as the youth lems It depended so heavily on dramatizations of cocaine use that It was sometimes hard to distinguish between real and staged action Cocaine is also an overworked subject appearing lately in everything from news magazines to TV movies Still had a nice hometown feel and more impact for it Selling Sweat Stories from Ch consumer reporter Molly Turner remain among the most thorough well-organized and helpful in South Florida television With a big assist from photographer Tyrone Couch her four-parter on the health-club craze airing on the 5:30 pm newscast turned into the most lively piece of TV journalism so far this month Sure hard to miss with exercising bodies in brightly colored leotards and tights straining to throbbing music Yet the shots and the editing were intriguing without being titillating Turner larded the series with practical information such as the questions to ask before signing a health-club contract The only fault here was that much of the information was said and gone before we could grasp it Cheap Thrills Summer Vacation Welcome back Morry been away too long South premiere feature reporter Morry Alter really been away physically (except to research this series) just that his recent Ch 10 series on folks who work with kids in February for example haven't had the pizazz come to expect The fizz was back with this five-parter that showed inexpensive vacation sights from Georgia Je-kyll Island and Savannah to Washington the National Cathedral and the Smithsonian Institution We would sign up for the tour Diana Photographer Will Harbeson provided one of the best bits of videotape when he stood at the top of an escalator as people rode up A bald head appeared rising on the horizon like a sun The series was even better because Frankel was not too subjective Many TV reporters would have focused the piece on themselves trying out the treatments and attempting to be funny about them Frankel showed some pictures of himself with hair and he did smear on some lotions but his apppearance was just enough to humanize not monopolize Frankel is astute if not hirsute Snowed Under: The Tragedy of Cocaine This five-part series produced by WCIX-Ch Jerry Fisher is a good reason to be thankful that Nielsen and Arbitron are counting local viewers these days The gave Ch 6 the impetus to get this comprehensive and logical series into its 10 pm newscast Ch 6 has the smallest news staff of South major stations and this was its only special series of the period was worth the extra effort Fisher and photographer Bill Glass seemed to be everywhere at once Palm Beach Broward County Kendall for a geographic spread that was especially pleasing since other stations often focus on Dade County alone multiple interviews with reformed cocaine users were the most memorable part of the series I was one said about his dependency is no true friendship no true giving always that little bit of said another about the small thefts that helped support her habit The series was not without prob the speech itself Juan Clark of Best Bets Morning Highlights Whaling
