teleuision FIRST DETROIT FREE PRESSTHURSDAY, FEB. 3, 1983 9D GOOD fV EAR IN FEATURES. Channel 50 cashing in on 'MASH' finale March Notes from the Captain Video File. Channel 50 program director Bill Castipmnn knows a gold mine when he's sitting on one. So with (fits' I Elite rgjj FIRST IN COLOR fc CLARITY.

FIRST IN CIRCULATION GROWTH. FIRST WHEN YOU NEED IT MOST. Tire Co. rant KK1T BE QDFJl2GCS- "MA'SH" coming to a grand finale on CBS Feb. 28, Channel 50 has cranked up a month of "greatest hits" episodes for the show's nightly reruns at 7 p.m.

Jamie Farr, who portrays Cpl.Klinger, will pop up starting next week in on-air promos for the best-of gambit. And on the night of the CBS "MASH" finale, Channel 50 will offer Hawkeye, Hot Lips Co. from 7 to 8 p.m. The hour CoMUB)! i spots for "The A Team" done by the Incredible Ebony Hulk, Mr. T.

Can Mr. posters and T-shirts be far behind? Local Alert: Check out public television. Channel 56's "Video Detroit" and "Detroit Black Journal," two of the city's best public affairs series, starting at 8 tonight. This installment of "DBJ" is a special, "Legacies," which marks Black History Month by profiling the contributions of Detroit scientist Dr. A.W.

Curtis and musician and composer James (Chips) Outcalt. Boo, hiss: ABC is ready to go ahead with added commercials in the second step of a move to expand commerical time the networks began last fall. According to Advertising Age, ABC is soon expected to add four 30-second network spots per week to the glut of prime time commercials. They would come out of time already given to network promotional spots and are expected to add $15 million annually to the network coffers. A minute of local advertising also will be added.

CBS has indicated it may follow ABC's lead. Last fall, all three networks assured themselves an added $25 to $30 million each annually by opening up an additional seven 30-second network spots a week on prime time and two 30-second local commercials. HBO's "Not Necessarily the News," a daffy comedy newscast show, is really starting to hit the mark. The latest installment included a wild and funny commercial for the next blockbuster movie hit, "Gandhi Loves Tootsie." I -liirmir ANNOUNCEMENT: MARCH TIRE COMPANY WILL NOT BE UNDERSOLD.

Keep the faith "Taxi" fans. NBC absolutely promises that television's best situation comedy during the past six years will return in mid-March at a different time and night, after the brief leave of absence announced Tuesday. The show's quality and charm have been as superb as its ratings have been abysmal, particularly after its recent switch to Saturday nights. "Taxi" lovers may wish to voice their support by writing Brandon Tartikoff President, NBC Entertainment, 3000 W. Alameda, Burbank, Calif.

91523. "MASH" Note No. 2: Detroit's CBS affiliate, Channel 2, is charging $15,000 per 30-second commercial spot for its local advertising time on the last "MASH" episode. "It's only right," says TV2 general manager Bill Flynn. The previous high at Channel 2 was a year ago when the station charged approximately $10,000 per commercial during the Super Bowl.

Aside from John Riggins running wild, my favorite Super Bowl moments were the NBC promotional i ui an iiiucyeuueiii siauun nel 50- such as WKBD. "M'A'S'H" is "the franchise," Castleman said.

MAIN 455-7800 WESTLAND 35235 W. WARREN Across from Hudson's 721-1810 fact, Castleman credits the "MASH" factor with Channel 50's rise to No. 1 in average Nielsen ratings among all American independent TV stations for 1982. By the way, Channel 50 owns the rights to STATE LICENSED MECHANICS s. iMtlntl troupe "MASH" until 1990, which explains why Castleman is so prone to Cheshire cat grins and spontaneous attacks of contented chuckling.
