When a child is missing, it is the most emotionally exhausting experience a family may ever face. To help parents take action if this tragedy should ever occur, WKJF -AM and WKJF -FM organized a program to provide the most precise child identification possible. These Fetzer radio stations contacted a local video movie dealer and the Cadillac area Jaycees to video prints of each participating child as the youngster talked and moved. Afterwards, area law enforce- ment agencies were given the video tape for their permanent files. WKJF -AM/FM organized and publicized the program, the Jaycees donated man- power, and the video movie dealer donated the taping services-all absolutely to the families. The child video print program enjoyed area -wide participation and is scheduled for an update. Providing records that give parents a fighting chance in the search for missing youngsters is all a part of the Fetzer tradition of total community involvement. ... WKJF -AM /FM helped prepare for the search.

In tracking usage of the primary videotex services, said Smith, communications usages (such as messaging) and entertainment constitute a "very significant" part of the services cur- rently called on by users. And two years ago the network requirements focused on on -line services, he added, while now the focus seems to be shifting to down -loading appli- cations. There was, added Smith, a "strong sense" that graphics would be required, where now there is the belief that text -only services will play as important a role as graphics systems and may even dominate videotex. According to Jean Grenier, director, inter- national affairs, Direction Generale des Tele- communications, the telecommunications authority in France, U.S. videotex players have made a number mistakes and have em- braced some misguided assumptions. Vi- deotex in the U.S., he said last week, has "undergone five years of hesitation. A series of wrong steps have been made."

Sarazen, vice president of 20th Century and a director of the News Corp. Ltd., would be an executive vice president. Those three would make up the board of directors. According to the filing, Murdoch will have to come up with about $600 million for the proposed acquisition. That money, the applications said, will be provided through open credit lines now available at American, European and Australian banks. (Under the deal, Murdoch will be assuming about $1.4 billion of Metromedia debt and will spin off Metromedia's WCVB -TV Boston to Hearst Corp. for $450 million.) In the applications, Murdoch requested two years to sell the Chicago Sun -Times and the New York Post. Those are in the same markets as Metromedia's WELD -TV Chicago and WNEW -TV New York. Murdoch said the temporary waiver of the FCC rule prohibit- ing the crossownership of a TV station and a local daily newspaper was "well within prior commission precedent" and was consistent with the commission's diversity policies and with the public interest.
