How come? I thought Sonny was working for Channel 7." Clifford Eberts, Wyandotte Looks like Sonny will be the permanent host of 50's 1 p.m.

weekday movie as soon as contract details can be worked out. (Bill still does the Sunday movie.) Sonny will have to giVe up hosting Channel 7's "On Location." That's his i only chore there. He's not a Channel 7 staff member. Boss Jeanne Findlater says Channel 7 will be sorb to see him go but the station doesn't use talent seen regularly on another channel. But, she said, "If the1 Thanksgiving Parade is saved, and we hope it is, wd'd like to have Sonny because of his close it." i "Tell me how to write to Channel 4 in Detroit and the Mobil Oil Corp.

I would like to thank them for giving us the opportunity to see 'The Life and Adventures of Nicholas It was a daring piece of programming and we appreciate it." Ethel Ellis, Hillsdale It was also costly for the NBC station. The station didn't lose money on the deal, but it did lose viewers, particularly for the 11 p.m. newscasts. For a station that's been running hard after Channel 7 news, that 5.7 rating following the Jan. 13 three-hour "Nickleby" finale was disaster.

That's less than half the usual number of viewers for 4's late news. NBC, which had more affiliated stations (10) defect to run "Nickleby" than ABC (9) or CBS (5), was a loser as well. The network had its lowest weekly average rating since the TV season started last Sept. 20. Send your encouragement to Amy McCombs, vice-president and general manager, WDIV, 550 Lafayette Detroit 48231, and to Herbert Schmertz, vice-president, Mobil 150 E.

42d Street, New York, N.Y. 10017. for one, loved 'Diff'rent Why did NBC take it off prime time? Or did they discontinue the show?" C. Long, St. Clair Shores "Strokes" is on NBC at 8 p.m.

Saturdays. Channel 4 claims "Entertainment Tonight" was set for p.m. Saturday before NBC put "Strokes" in place. Channel 4 taped "Strokes" and ran it at 5:30 p.m. Saturdays.

But NBC's sports broadcasts have eaten into that time slot in recent weeks and will continue to do so as the golf season gets going with the Bob Hope Desert Classic this weekend. "We've been trying to work it out, but NBC turns down ideas like using 'Strokes' in place of 'Silver Spoons' at 8:30 p.m.," says Channel 4 program director Jim Corno. But Channel 4 did start carrying the cartoon "Gary Coleman Show" Jan. 8. It's at 10:30 a.m.

Saturdays. 'Gimme a Break' was my favorite program and I was so happy it was on Saturdays because I work nights during the week. Now, NBC has moved 'Gimme a Break' to Thursdays. Boo hoo." Mrs. Ken Colllson, Kalamazoo.

"What ever happened to 'Joanie Loves Chachi' on ABC? It is my favorite show. Has it been canceled? I can't stand 'The Greatest American Hero' that replaced It." C. J. Taylor, Traverse City. Both switches, made to help Thursday ratings, have bombed so far.

"Magnum" and "Simon Simon" on CBS continue to clobber the opposition. Don't look for NBC to move "Break" back to Saturday, but ABC still has "Joanie" episodes that haven't been shown. Chances are they'll turn up in the spring or summer. SKIINGS GREAT at all the local ski areas.
