Saturday night, WXYZ-TV (Channel 7) did not run a scheduled 'Sonya Friedman "Studio show centering on a tape of an alleged associate of the Oakland County child killer. While the reasons seem le- gitimate for the last minute I cancellation, they highlight a problem inherent whenever one company owns more than one broadcast outlet in a city.

The company in this case Is ABC, which owns and operates not only Channel 7, the dominant TV station in De-' troit, but also radio stations WXYZ-AM and WRIF-FM. WHILE THE TV station enjoys almost runaway rat- than 1 me. tar, O.I mg. niCMint. showed some gains In the last ratings book after switching to a news-talk format; WRIF-FM has shown some decrease in its album rock audience for almost a year.

Both are In dogfights with competitors and have turned to theTV station for promotional help. The current wave of competition started when Channel 4, in April, aired a series of reports on local radio personalities. They did not cover WXYZ-AM's morning team, Tom Bell and Tom Hopkins. Instead, they opted for bigger fish like Dick Purtan. Channel 7 news, knowing a good thing wheir it airs, did an abbrevi-ated look at morning radio men the two biggest being Purtan and J.P.

McCarthy. It, like Channel 4, ignored WXYZ's two men. WXYZ-AM'S general manager Chuck Fritz, feeling left out, did eventually get his promotion on Channel 7 by circumventing the news department. He sent Hopkins and Bell over as guests on Channel 7's "Kelly Company" in late April. That show is governed by Channel 7's programming department.

The two personalities were there for no reason other than promotion, and some "Kelly" staffers said so. A few weeks later, Chan-' nel 7 again extended corporate favors to its poorer cous- Warning: The Surgeon General Has Determined That Cigarett.8 Smoking Is Dangerous to Your Health.

The Detroit News also covered the story. THOUGHTS on promoting ABC's two radio stations fall into two camps at Channel 7. The news department, responsible for news shows and documentaries, has managed to avoid promotional encroachments almost entirely. But the programming department, which produces "Kelly Company" and other general information shows, cur rently overseen by Bob Woodruff, has a different philosophy. Woodruff, when asked about the decision to trot the two WXYZ radio morning men over to Company," said, "I think we (the TV station) should be the No.

1 supporter of their new Concept with Sonya (Friedman) and talk In terms of how it came about, I'm sure Chuck Fritz and Jeanne (Findlater, Channel 7's general manager) talked about it." WHEN A RADIO station and TV station are this cozy, however, the potential for the situation backfiring is real and the two can end up fighting each othef. Witness what 1 happened with Sonya Friedman's tape of a man believed to be connected with the Oakland County child killer is any indication. She first played the tape on her WXYZ radio talk show a week ago. She was scheduled to do a show about it last Saturday on her Channel 7 TV show, "Studio Woodruff says the Saturday show was canceled because "there wasn't really much news there. We would have been beating a dead horse." But "Studio isn't really a news show.

And, some at the station say the decision to pull It was because WXYZ radio management released the tape to all the media. Channels 2, 4 and .7 as well as both daily newspapers did stories on it. The radio station, in effect, nipped the hand that fed it, WXYZ-TV. And the radio station did get some publicity all the way around. It's certain that promotion, mixed with either news or programming efforts, can make for complicated, questionable situations.

It's also certain that Channel 7 has an outstanding reputation in news. It acts as if it's under no obligation to shill for its corporate cousin. Last week, Channel 7 programming wasn't sure it had a story or a show. Programming might look to news more often for instruction on how to get a story and stay out of trouble. summer camp.
