Closeup, Issues and Answers, Directions, ABC News Specials. Plus exciting new ideas in news programming being de- veloped right now. Of course, TV news isn't just what you say, but who does the saying. And ABC has quite a few heavies. Like Harry Reasoner, Howard K. Smith and Barbara Walters.

Columbia Pictures Television has acquired the distribution rights to "Soap :' the new adult comedy series on ABC. "Soap" takes the popular soap opera format and hurls it kicking and screaming into rime time. It plays mostly for laughs, sometimes sends darts and daggers instead of candy, comes close to being down- right warm, and touches people close to home. It works beautifully. "Soap" got vir- tually one third of all the households in Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York in its debut. We think you'll agree "Soap" is good clean fun. "SOAP" A Witt/Thomas/Harris Production

EASTMAN 7250 FILM A NEW HIGH -SPEED FILM FOR "AVAILABLE DARKNESS" If you've ever had to pass up a story for lack of light, we'd like you to know about new Eastman Ektachrome video news film high speed 7250 (tungsten). It is a companion film to our Ektachrome video news film 7240 and uses the same Process VNF 1 procedures. It is, however, far faster (EI 400), and it can be pushed two stops and still provide you with an image of excellent broadcast quality. It is an ideal solution for news assignments when additional lighting would be inappropriate or prohibitively expensive.

Nominations. Senate awaits several broad- cast- related nominations from White House, including that of Tyrone Brown for FCC, but if names are not sent soon, Senate workers say, it's possible time will be too short to have them confirmed this year. Senate currently plans to adjourn Oct. 22. Other nominations awaited are for three board positions at Corporation for Public Broadcasting, and for new Commerce Department assistant secretary for com- munications and information. Latter job is not officially created, however, until Oct. 17, when President's executive branch reorganization plan takes effect.

Network exclusivity on cable. FCC order substituting 35- and 55 -mile zones for signal contours as basis of protecting television sta- tions has been affirmed by U.S. Court of Ap- peals in Washington (BROADCASTING, April 14). Appeals have been filed by CBS, NBC and ABC television affiliates associations, National Association of Broadcasters and number of in- dividual broadcasters. Commission has denied petitions for reconsideration of order. Commis- sion has also begun inquiry to determine pur- pose, desirability and effect of exclusivity rules in light of passage into law of copyright revi- sion (BROADCASTING, Nov. 8, 1976).

Mr. Schlosser assured the affiliates that when undertaken it would be well done. Mike Weinblatt, NBC -TV executive c vice president and general manager, said that contrary to some speculation, NBC - TV has "absolutely" no plans to increase the amount of network commercial time in prime time. Indicating that sales are strong, Mr. Weinblatt also said that rates are still going up but that the rate of escalation is slower than it was in the past two or three years. Irwin Segelstein, executive vice president, programs, said the network has a supply of prime -time programs ready for introduction if needed, among them Baa Baa Black Sheep, Quark, CPO Sharkey, James at 15, Class of `65, Buck Rogers - MassMassarmoral appeal and also the right to convert Emergency and Police Story back into weekly series from their current status as frequent two - with proven hour specials.

During his confirmation hearing last week, the next chairman of the FCC committed himself to look into the reimbursement of fees that broadcasters have paid under schedules that the courts have twice declared illegal. The FCC has been avoiding action in the matter for a year. Broadcasters would have preferred to hear Charles Ferris take a somewhat stronger stand - favoring, for ex- ample, a reimbursement of all $$7.5 million that broadcasters have paid, as cable operators were reimbursed the $4 million they had paid at the time of the first court opinion. But at least he indi- cated a willingness to take some kind of action, as cannot be said of the FCC in present hands. The FCC, in response to pressures from appropriations com- mittees of the Congress, first adopted a fee schedule intended to recover 100% of the agency's operating cost. That schedule was rejected as excessive by the Supreme Court in 1974, on an appeal the cable interests carried to the end after the organized broad- casters dropped out.
