K101 fits into all of these categories. In 1969 K-101 was the first station to use digital call letters that accurately described it's position on the dial, giving the kind of identity that most broadcasters had been trying to achieve for years. As with all good ideas, inventions and logos, others soon made their copies, and now the radio world is full of K200's and W999's. Now you know where they came from.

Al, Camden, NJ 08102. But a suggestion offered at the meeting by Paul MacAvoy, of the Council of Economic Ad- visers, that legislation coupling copyright liability of cablevision with broad de- regulation be proposed, would not be wise, Mr. Adams said. There is no assurance, he said, that the coupling would survive" Thus, while competitive dealings under copyright law would not develop, he said, the regulatory safeguards created to fill that gap would be dismantled. Accordingly, he said, the cable television industry should first be subjected to full copyright liability. Then, he added, when cable "is operating in a normal economic environment, we would expect the FCC to take this new situation into account and consider which elements of cable regulation could be terminated" The meetings on Thursday and Friday, like those that preceded them, retraced much of the ground that the interests involved covered before the FCC. Representatives of the professional sports leagues urged lifting of restrictions on pay cable. They expressed concern, however, about the impact of the cable importation of distant sports events into markets with professional teams of their own. The theater owners fear the impact of pay cable operations on their business. Ren

Harley O. Staggers (D- W.Va.), chairman of the House Com- merce Committee, has cast himself in a new role. He has promised to work for license renewal relief in the 94th Congress. He was the one who queered it in the 93d. It is not, however, a 180- degree turn that Mr. Staggers has taken.
