Lessons also were provided on how to cope better with what goes on inside the station -with the hands -down favorite session being a "People Manage- ment Forum," where, work -books open and pencils checking multiple- choice questions, radio broadcasters were able to evaluate their managerial skills. Clearly, the underlying conference theme was twofold: to create a better product for listeners and better personal prospects for delegates. The latter was particularly appropriate for promotion directors, who consistently were encouraged to fight for more clout within the managerial mix. With about 50 exhibitors (four times the number last year), and about the same number of hospitality suites (up threefold from last year), the public- relations and sales pitches from those outside the stations also were intensified.

Management in the next decade: Staying in touch with the staff

The "participatory" manager may be the one most attuned to the 1980's. Such an executive will trust his or her staff input. And while business decisions realistically can't be made by democratic vote, an enlightened manager will take a "con- sultative approach" with staff members. That management attitude and the benefits that can come from it were discussed at the Radio Program Conference's "people management forum," a session that seemed more like a college lecture than a typical convention workshop.

The best kind of tool, panelists replied to a question from a syndicator, would be a demo tape, complete with built -in sales pitch. "The syndicator is closest to the product and can best emphasize its selling points," said Martin. A major problem with syndicated special programs, according to the panelists, is not enough lead time.

Following general business reports, Dennis Waters of Waters & Co., a cable -satellite marketing firm, presented an overview of technical progress toward large -scale satellite distribution of programing for radio. Predicting that satellite distribution will not happen as fast for radio as it did for the cable industry, Waters said that it will only be economical when a great deal of programing is being distributed by satellite. "Once a heavy volume is achieved, delivery costs to the syndicator will drop to $1 to $1.50 per hour per station" he said. Commitment at the station level .will determine how fast satellite distribution will take hold, he continued.

Reinventing the dish As an answer to the growing number of satellites carrying programing, two manufacturers are selling antennas that can receive from multiple birds

Television programing is now being transmitted over several domestic satellites, forcing satellite users that wish to receive signals simultaneously from one or more satellites to install additional earth stations. The problem is particularly acute for the cable operators, who have, in recent months, seen cable programing, contained for years on Satcom I, spread to Comstar II and Westar III. But multisatellite users now have the option of installing one earth station that can do the job of many. U.S. Tower Co., Afton, Okla., and Comtech Antenna Co., St. Cloud, Fla., under contract to Comsat; are both manufacturing fixed antennas that more closely resemble billboards than dishes and that can receive signals from several satellites at the same time. Corn - tech's antenna can also be used for transmission. The two antennas are similar in concept. Each employs a large, slightly concaved rectangular reflector, facing the southern horizon (where the satellites are) and a number of carefully placed feed horns. Microwave energy is bounced off the reflector between the feed horns and the satellites. The antennas differ, however, in the shape of their curved surface. USTC's antenna is "spherical." Regardless of size, the antenna takes the shape of a rectangular section of a sphere with a radius of 60 feet. The Comtech or "torus" antenna, on the other hand, describes a small arc of Panorama. Don Philips (top), president of Rural America Cable, inspects U.S. Tower a circle with a radius of about 100 feet on Co's spherical antenna, capable of simultaneously receiving 11 the horizontal plane and a parabola on the signals from as many as satellites, at USTC's vertical plane.

BROADCASTING'S editors and writers are at work on a number of special reporting assignments scheduled ( *) to appear during the next few months. Among the more prominent prospects:

Sep 15L7 The siren song of DBS. As if there weren't enough to wor- ry about, and work with, in the expanding world of telecommunications, still another new medium may be just beyond the horizon -or above the atmosphere, as it were. It's the direct broadcast satellite, a possibility looking less like science fiction with every passing day. The assignment of this special report is to put into beginning - of- the -decade perspective what may be a functioning reality by its end.

Oct 13 L7 The beginning of BROADCASTING magazine's celebration of its own first 50 years -with a companion, year -by -year celebration of the Fifth Estate with which its fortunes are joined. A major historical retrospective that will illuminate each issue of the succeeding 12 months, and climax in BROADCASTING'S 50th Anniversary issue on Oct. 12, 1981.

Dec 1 L7 On the eve of the annual convention of the Radio- Televi- sion News Directors Association, BROADCASTING will report the state of the art on all sides of the electronic journalism profession. Nationally and locally. The content. The competition. The new forms. The new tools. Where things stand now and whither they are trending as the broadcast media strive to fill an ever -enlarging news hole.

BROADCASTING will continue to update this schedule as appropriate, (a) to give readers an idea of what's upcoming, (b) to give sources due notice that we're at work in their territories and (c) to give advertisers a chance to plan their own marketing strategies in tandem with these editorial opportunities.

There are loose ends still to be tied in the courts before this prosecution can be closed, but for practical purposes it is over. It should never have begun. Before the sudden and unexpected initiation of the suit, in April 1972, the Nixon administration had begun an orchestrated attack on television networks for what it perceived to be an an- tagonistic attitude in news. The point man was Spiro T. Agnew, the Vice President, whose speech writer put in his mouth the memorable criticism of "nattering nabobs of negativism." The men in the coaching booth were the Nixon palace guard, Halde- man, Ehrlichman and Colson. Nobody ever proved that the suit against the networks was political in origin, but the suspicion lingers to this day among observers old enough to remember the circumstances. One clue to the haste of its legal preparation lay in the statistics the complaint contained -all five years out of date and taken from FCC proceedings that had long before been resolved in rules that ended many of the practices that Justice was attacking.
