"It's first-run good-looking programming" says program director Mel House WTVD's Greg Barnes landed in Saudi Arabia Saturday and filed his first reports from where the troops are stationed Monday "We kept knocking at the Saudi embassy door and finally got in" says general manager Tim Bennett Although Mr Barnes is getting there a week after WRAL's Gilbert Baez Mr Bennett is confident he can overcome the late start and the perception that his reports will be warmed-over versions of RAL's "The spin Greg Barnes adds to a piece will make it stand out" Mr Bennett says gt Reservations 876-4056 Tired of getting hit with the old one-two (a one rating and a two share) WPTF-TV will move its news to 7 pm beginning Mon day The need for the move is obvious The station simply cannot compete against heavyweights like WTVD and WRAL no matter how good a newscast it puts out "Now we won't have to go up against two stations that do a super job" saps news director Kevin Kelly "We'll be reaching people who have never seen us before" This isn't the first time PTF has fiddled with its newscast It aired a newscast at 7:30 in the late '70s and got acceptable numbers by today's standards but not enough for those pre-cable days Will it succeed at The good news is that the mediocre "Hard Copy" got four times the viewers at 7 as PTF's news did at 6 The station hopes its news can do at least that well and hopes "Cheers" does better at 6 than its news did On the other hand not quite as many TV sets will be on at 7 there's little time for promotion the competition will still be stiff and news-viewing habits will have to change But PTF hopes to attract a lot of people getting home from work and looking for the news "More people are getting home later" says station manager Bob Wolfe "and this station usually does better when it offers something different" The newscast also will try to attract a new segment of the market blacks "This is the 12th largest black By Bob Langford I market" says Mr Wolfe "We want our news to appeal to blacks and relate to black issues" Right now TVD dominates among black viewers The all-white anchor team won't change for "Prime Time" news but the cast at 11 will be different Mitch Lewis who is black and has been doing "Today" inserts will anchor alongside weekend co-anchor Joan Murray She'll be free because PTF is doing away with its weekend news and moving its weekend personnel to weekdays "This puts us on a more even footing Monday through Friday with TVD and RAL" says Mr: Wolfe "If we improve during the week we'll go back to weekends" No one will lose a job in the restructuring The loser of course is the viewer who will be out four newscasts Obviously the sports department will be hardest hit without weekend news The plan says sports anchor Mike Fuller is to give Saturday games feature treatments on Monday For the rest of its fall schedule WPTF is going with more informational programming than in the past It has already started airing Charlie Rose's "Personalities" weekdays at 4:30 and beginning Monday will follow it with "Preview: The Best of the New" And later this month it will J001 Off TPA JeRmA iNsTe re CVal tNeErBi An tg 876-4056 17th Anniversary Celebration Nightly During September Register For Grand Prize 1 lb Rib Eye Steak 81395 Steak Crab Legs 81095 Crab Legs Claws 81095 Register For Grand Prize Dinner for 2 each month for a year 17 consolation prizes of dinner for 2 All Specials served with House Salad ONES 74 Item Salad Bar Including: Steamed Shrimp 101 Fresh Oysters and Dozens of Other Delicacies CLUB FANTASTIC WINE BAR featuring 36 Different Wines by the Glass 111:114 lalr874056 RESTAURANT WINEBAR Off Premise Catering LEASANTNALLEYJ US 70 AT PtEASANT VALLEY Kt 703-0071 BARGAIN MATINEES ALL SHOWS STARTING BEFORE 6 PM EVERY DAY LOCATED I MILES WEST OF CRABTREE VALLEY MALL AT PLEASANT VALLEY ROAD 1:11 wp WILD AT HEART (4) 2 05 435 1 05 935 PRUNED Ot 910 4 40 710 940 DOLBY STEREO INDICATED BY NOW OPEN EXORCIST on 210 4 50 715 945 GHOST() 9 00 4 30 1 00 9 30 YOUNG GUMS 0013) 5 25 7:40 9:55 PRETTY WOMAN (9) 9A10 5:15 735950 8 STUD EVECNC!
