A sporting chance. Physically and mentally impaired adults get the chance to develop new skills and self-esteem through training and employment at NOC Industries, Inc., in Cadillac, Michi- gan. To help meet the growing demand for the center's rehabilitation services, WKJF and WKJF -FM Radio lent their support to a benefit basketball game between the Detroit Lions football team and the Northmen, a charity league made up of former college and professional athletes. The stations promoted the game on the air and supplied the public address announcer for the match -up. And without other promotion, the game attracted a sell -out crowd. The President of NOC Industries wrote WKJF and WKJF -FM, "It was obvious that the word was out about this event and we owe that to you." Using our resources to support an organization that helps handicapped people become self-supporting is all part of the Fetzer tradition of total community involvement.

Those systems will be launching the Disney service within the next three months. The pact with Group W means that all of the top 10 MSO's have now committed some of their systems to carry the Disney Channel. At last count, Disney had more than 300,000 subscribers and a subscriber universe of more than 6 million H- cable homes. When plans for the Disney Channel were first announced in late 1981, Group W Satellite Communications was a partner with Disney and was to be responsible for the marketing and promotion of the CiT service. However, Disney severed its ties with GWSC last fall, deciding to go it alone with the family -oriented pay service, which it launched last spring.

"Occasionally, clients were advised their commercials had aired at times other than those contracted, but they were never made aware the Tanner Co. received a credit as a result of the practice," the affidavit added. One of the sources also said that Louis Lucas, Tanner's chief legal counsel, had been involved in the alleged kickback schemes and use of turn-around accounts. Lucas resigned last week to avoid any conflict of interest, feeling that he couldn't advise Tanner since he had been accused of wrongdoing as well, according to a Tanner Co. official.

Core problem

If doubts remained, the Cable Television Administration and Marketing Society's annual conference two weeks ago should have dispelled them. One of cable's most urgent challenges, that conference made clear, is to get its subscriber penetration up, hold what it has and add more. Speaker after speaker told of efforts, often innovative and almost always expensive, to elevate penetration into the 50% range (BROADCASTING, Aug. 15). The problem is neither new nor newly discovered. At bottom, it is the reason that the National Cable Thlevision Association set up the Council for Cable Information last spring (BROADCAST- ING, May 9, et seq.). CCI's mandate is straightforward: Clear AInsn get cable accepted away the myths and misconceptions, and by Drawn for BROADCASTING by Jack Schmidt the public (and, of course, by investors too).

YET. We're working on it, though. In the meantime, almost anything else you can think of is possible. Because we've just expanded the E -FLEX DVE® system with a new Perspective/Rotation accessory. So now, you can rotate images through all three axes. Add depth through perspective. Combine those effects with basic E -FLEX effects including split, compression, mosaic, Multi-move, and trajectory. And store it all on NEC's bubble memory cartridges. We can't resist noting that our new capabilities make E -FLEX the virtual equivalent of systems costing far more. But more importantly, they make E -FLEX an instrument of almost limitless possibilities. One that takes only a few hours to master -and perhaps a lifetime to fully explore. What's more, the E -FLEX system is modular. So you can buy it all at once, or start small and add later. And as we develop more capabilities, you'll be able to plug them right in. To find out what E -FLEX can do now, call NEC at 1 -800- 323 -6656. By dip time you call, we may have perfected the effect in the picture.
