Broadcasting Apr 7 1986 30 Why More Americans Watch NBC News' Three Daily Programs

Each network news department produces three Monday- through- Friday programs. More people, a total of over 30 million a day, watch NBC's three - NBC Nightly News with Tom Brokaw, Today and NBC News at Sunrise -than watch those of the other networks. With good reason. 1986 has been a remarkable news year, and no one has covered it as well as NBC. Here's what knowledgeable observers say: NBC Nightly News with Tom Brokaw: "Brokaw likes to be where the action is; he is at his best with breaking stories... More than the other two, he projects a sense of involvement, the possibility that he shares his viewers' values:' - Esquire Magazine Space Shuttle: "All three networks performed with admirable sensitivity... NBC's Brokaw was the coolest and most lucid of the three:' -Time Magazine Philippines: "NBC's Tom Brokaw was the most visible of the network anchormen for coverage of Marcos' final fall ..:' -New York Daily News Today: "NBC's 'Today' show attracted the largest audience ever for a morning news and informational program last week when it was broadcast from South America:' - Associated Press NBC News at Sunrise: "'Today isn't the only morning star shining in the ratings ... 'NBC News at Sunrise; the newscast for early risers, has landed first -place honors:' - USA Today

Major new products, and a surprising joint effort by leaders on both of those fronts, can be expected to dramatically alter each market. Also having their moments in the sun will be radio broadcasting, with new and improved FM stereo transmission techniques; satellite newsgathering and TV stereo, two relatively new and rapidly expanding marketplaces; computer graphics, with its gradually maturing technologies; transmission, with new high efficiency developments, plus scores of other new radio and television hardware on the exhibit floor. A preview of some of the show's highlights follows.

But Hubcom is eager to have all offered differing degrees of stereo programing to stations, and receiver manufacturers are projecting rapid growth in sales of stereo sets. With the growing level of activity, new niches have been opened in the equipment industry, both for new types of professional stereo products and for existing products modified for those broadcasters going stereo. The bulk of sales so far have been for TV stereo generators, with a handful of companies fighting for shares, such as top -selling Orban Associates, Modulation Sciences, Broadcast Elec- tronics, Circuit Research Labs and Marcom. But broadcasters are getting increasingly anxious about the lack of availability of stereo monitoring and test gear with which to evaluate their stereo service, so an increase in action in that field may be in order at this year's show. Tektronix has been pursuing this line since last year, and plans to display further developments in the units previously displayed as prototypes, including the 751 BTSC aural modulation monitor-decoder, the 760 stereo audio monitor and the AVC -20 audio vector converter, which turns NTSC vectorscopes used with VTR's into stereo audio monitors. New precision monitors are expected from TFT, which will have its model 851 baseband -input BTSC aural modulation monitor, and Hubcom's Video Fly Pac from Belar, which is supplementing its existing BTSC stereo TV

But if you're going to make a change, it's not worth going which was September 1985. People were not saying yes or no. Some through the agony to make a small improvement. We decided to were saying yes, some were saying maybe, but there was no really make a very large improvement, and we had a very specific target in outspoken opposition. There were people concerned about whether mind. The target was to make the system as good as the 35 millimeter we can take a production standard without considering the band- cinema in the theater, not on television. That was the standard of width implications of broadcasting. But it was not possible to define excellence considered by the public to be the optimum of quality. So the transmission standard until you knew what you had to transmit, we set out to make the system as good as the 35 millimeter cinema so you had sort of a chicken and egg thing there. and that's been achieved.

Broadcasting Apr 7 1986 134 The effort to rally the world behind a single standard for HDTV climaxes next month in Dubrovnik, Yugoslavia, when the CCIR (International Radio Consultative Committee) meets in plenary session. For the world's senior engineering organization, those deliberations will determine whether the 1,125 -line, 16:9 aspect ratio, 60 hertz system developed by Japan's NHK will become the target all shoot for beyond today's 525- and 625 -line systems. Joseph A. Flaherty, vice president and general manager of engineering and development for the CBS Operations and Engineering Division, has been a leader of the American effort to develop HDTV's parameters and to walk them through the laborious process leading to Dubrovnik. As the issue goes down to the wire, Flaherty met with BROADCASTING editors to discuss HDTV's merits and its chances for success.

Whether it's c various broadcasting organizations in the world were done, and they two or three four, I don't know, but it will be more than one. Unhappily, that were all successful. I don't think a lot of people expected them to be successful -particularly the difficult problem of standards conversion. I think most figured that was going to be a failure. So if it was going to fail, you might as well be in favor of it, and if it failed, it's too bad. I think there's some of that. But there's another factor that affects all of us in human life: The closer you get to the moment of truth, the more unsure and, in some cases, desperate you get. I mean, you do your income tax the last night, and most people pay the rent and look for an apartment as late as possible and so on. This is part of human nature. So as you come to that moment of truth, suddenly high -level management people, or high -level political people, or manufacturers who have ignored the problem from the beginning, leaving it to the technicians to decide, have suddenly awakened to the fact that, "My God, we have to confront this decision." That happens in companies, that happens in private life, and it certainly happens in world life. I think that's happened here. It's a very advanced technology. It's not a technology that's been worked on everywhere in the world, and people who are starting from zero realize that there was a fairly large investment of time and money to do that and they see themselves playing catch -up. Whether that's right or wrong, that's the way it often happens in the world, and they of course are reacting with opposition. I frankly don't believe it has anything to do with the standard, by the way. That problem is going to face those same manufacturers whether or not there's a standard. No matter how many standards there are, the people who are already well advanced in the technology, whether it's the Japanese or the British or the Americans, the ones who are already advanced, can make that same technology in any standard they want. So the ones that are behind are going to stay behind, if they're not willing to spend a lot of money and time to catch up. And it is certainly a technology that's coming down the becoming the trend in standards, isn't it? In small format tape, ant road. AM stereo, and teletext.

Not tre some very specific voting regulations, with very specific mean- only that, but every theater in the country will have an individual address, and if a tape shows up copied, you know exactly which theater it came from. Plus the fact that tape can be played perhaps 200 tò 300 times, as opposed to a fraction of that on film, and that costs a fraction to begin with and is lighter and cheaper to ship. The one missing link was quality. If HDTV provides the quality, you will see it applied in these respects before there is ever a camera on stage. Similarly, the major motion picture studios and owners of large film libraries are transferring those libraries onto videotape. The only mechanically based system is still the cinema. Everything else is electronic: Cable, VCR's and disks and satellite. and DBS and terrestrial -these are all electronic systems. So, sooner or later, a producer must get into the electronic domain to recover his full potential profits. They are now transferring these very valuable orignial films to 525 -line, and then to 625 -line, videotape. And they end up back in the library with a very high quality film product and a not very high quality videotape product. The sensible thing is to transfer to high -definition videotape and then down- convert to whatever market you happen to be interested in at the moment. Then you have in the library a high quality film product and a high quality tape product. Notice, some of these are applications that will start in relatively closed systems, without a camera on stage, without any disruption to the creative community. These are the places where it's most likely to start. But if you've seen any of the demonstrations, the things that are the most exciting, that are absolutely unique, are high -definition sports. With the importance placed today on sporting events, everywhere, I just cannot believe that in the future-the near future that is, the next five to 10 years -that there will not be an effort to produce and distribute ings to words.
