aa 4E DETROIT FREE PRESSTUESDAY, JULY 25, 1995 CBS gets OK i rr Green light means new office, more jobs By Dale Parry Ferguson said he hadn't yet seen the FCC's ruling and declined further comment. Serafyn's attorney said he expect to appeal the decision. Newman said he was especially pleased with the FCC's approval because "the commission acknowledged that the sale of Detroit's Channel 62 to CBS is in the public interest." He said the station has already demonstrated a commitment to diversity and to the Detroit community. Amen 564 Geraldo Opposed marriages. 1038 First News Margolis, Leahan.

Jay Newman, CBS vice president in charge of the network's Detroit television operations, said Monday evening the station will immediately double its Stroh Riverfront temporary office space and begin improving the quality of its broadcast signal. CRS will also move forward in its plans for hiring a local news staff and building a permanent facility, he said.

The sale to CBS had been hotly contested by two groups. One, led by Joel Ferguson, owner of WLAJ-TV in Lansing, argued that WGPR should remain a black-owned station because of its historical significance to the black community. WGPR was the first black owned-and-operated television station in the United States. The other group, led by Alexander J. Serafyn, wanted the sale blocked because CBS had broadcast a program he believed was ethnically biased against Ukrainians.

limiting the number of broadcast out lets one owner can have in a given market. Newman says the company plans to build a facility that will house the TV, radio and other CBS operations in Detroit. The time-line for additional hiring and construction is still uncertain, Newman said. "It's like buying a house; it doesn't happen right away." He said hiring for news, graphic arts, technol ogy and production jobs should begin byfalL E-zEi1!

As the fall season draws ever nearer, my fondest wish is no not better shows than last season's (maybe that would be Wish No. 2). Instead, my principal plea to the network's hyperactive programmers is this: patience. Whatever you've come up with for our prime-time delectation, leave it be, through, say, November.

Until then, give us new episodes of each series each week at the same time. Establish a routine. So that we can, too. That way, viewers will give your lineup the consideration it deserves. Then when Thanksgiving gets here, you'll know what to do: Kill the turkeys! Sure, it sounds naive, but this year, couldn't the networks let the dust settle so we can see what's what? Because, going into the 1995-96 season, they've really gone and stirred things up.

Why, even CBS's "Murder, She Wrote" has been uprooted from its Sunday native soil after 11 years, and carted off to Thursdays. "This fall, 50 percent of the schedule is either new programs or returning programs in a new time period," media analyst Steve Sternberg noted last month. Soon afterward, the just-unveiled schedule he referred to fell prey to its first round of revisions. This was at the hands of CBS, which announced that its new high school drama "Matt Waters," starring Mon- Twin Peaks One-Eyed "Plaza Suite" Walter Matthau plays a husband, a producer and the father of a bride, in New "I Love You, Alice stone in February.

(Live) 919274 But the evidence argues otherwise, particularly for boys. Of the 11 stu IWGN 421944 dents who dropped out of high school, Cannon reports, eight were boys and three were girls; only two of the boys By Walter Goodman New York Times Tuesday night, "Dateline" gives its full hour to a celebration of several young people who have beaten the odds against growing up safe and sane in their Brooklyn neighborhood. It's a muted celebration. Their achievement high school graduation, some college, a steady job would be taken for granted in most other American communities. What makes it special is that they were raised in the Bedford-Stuy-vesant section of Brooklyn, where a murder a week is the average.

The producers of this edition, titled "Class Photo," managed to track down 21 of the 25 young men and women, all black, who posed for the fourth-grade picture in the 1981-82 school year. Len Cannon's interviews bring out the dangers and lures of their streets. One young man tells of leaving school in the 11th grade to escape beatings from tougher kids, "It was either go to school and take the chance of being killed, or dropping out." Others tell simply of craving money to keep up with the neighborhood swaggerers. One says that dealing drugs and mugging people "ain't the only way, but it's the fastest way." The difference between those who finished school and those who went to prison is traced largely to their families. The lucky few had two parents at home (only four of the youngsters were that lucky) or, at least, a strong mother or grandmother to help them resist the who finished went on to college, but six girls did.

Perhaps, as suggested here, the boys could not make up for a missing father. Perhaps it was the lack of prospects.
