network since Grant Tinker was named chairman last year An NBC Newsman Worn way back Frank is one of the brightest and most creative executives ever to practice electronic journalism He had one stint as NBC News president earlier 1968-73 but is best known for putting together the pairing that established network news as we know it: The Huntley-Brinkley Report In recent years Frank was more or less cast aside as NBC News came to be dominated by former CBS people worked mainly in the documentary field and produced the lively sassy late-night show that was the first newsmagazine venture Frank replaces Bill Small a member of the ex-CBS contingent who resigned tinder pressure last week A first-class newsman Small was undone by his abrasive personality: He rubbed the wrong people the wrong way The NBN in KNBN-TV stands for National Business Network but the station lived up to its initials As a result out of the busi-' ness news business as far as Channel broadcast schedule is concerned

Turner said SIN news programs mostly originate in Los Angeles and New York and a lot of the entertainment fare is produced in Mexico There obviously is a substantial market for Spanish-language television in Fort Worth-Dallas Turner notes only problem is documenting he said Although unofficial estimates point to as many as 500000 Hispanics in the Fort Worth-Dallas area Turner said lot of them prefer not to be counted by census-takers and ratings Dropping the business news broadcasts has forced a considerable reduction in staff Turner Said we have retained as many people as we he added noting that increasing pilot-production activity will help in that regard Although the bulk of the syndicated production work is business-oriented including several cable projects and a national
