Is it because Motorola has an inexpensive AM stereo chip that includes a pilot tone decoder and requires no manufacturing adjustments? Is it because Motorola's advanced integrated circuits can activate the decoder when stereo signals are detected while ignoring noise and interference? In a word, yes. And if you're not sure what it all means to you, here it comes: To the broadcaster, it means that a ton of AM stereo receivers will be out there very soon. And that makes it important to order Motorola transmitting equipment right now.

Clients ere and abroad were de- lighted and amused. And everyone lived happily ever after, except for a handful of video troglodytes who were left to live out the rest of their days in a dull, flat and listless universe. AD

Broadcasting Apr 4 1983 We all know the problems. Now for some solutions. They're called documentaries, but that name doesn't do them justice. Because they go beyond merely reporting details. They're designed to help television stations be constructive participants in solving some of their communities' worst problems: drug abuse, violent crime, life -shortening habits. The message to the viewer is clear. "We can start solving the problems in this town tonight. There aren't any easy solutions. All of you will have to become involved, and we vow to devote all the resources of this television station to helping you." The Gannett Broadcasting Group has produced the programs and each is accompanied by promotional spots, information kits for viewers, teacher guides for local schools and a format for a live studio call -in program on the night of the main broadcast. Three documentaries are available to local broadcasters for syndication ... EPIDEMIC: AMERICA FIGHTS BACK (drugs)... EVERY TWO SECONDS (crime victims)... and YOU CAN LIVE TO BE 100. For information, call Dan Robinson at (212) 838 -6133.

The new 200 Series list management video editing systems are built to be New Tools of hardworking tools of the trade you can depend on. 200 Series list management functions do all of the tedious record -keeping for you while you concentrate on creative, visual editing decisions. With ony one or two keystrokes you can add, delete, or replace edits, and the Tíc/e choose to ripple the edit list to reflect your changes. You can sort through your edit decisions by time code, by reel number, or by audio or video edits to locate material instantly, and you can move whole blocks of edits if you wish. Overlaps and inserts can be automatically cleaned after each edit, or the "409" program can clean the entire list at one time. On -board memory stores the list while you edit (up to 866 lines of memory in the 204 system). The new modular design of the 200 Series editing systems includes keyboard, detached status display monitor, and separate rack -mountable control electronics for more elbow room and options in your editing suite CONVERGENCE configuration. Optional DD -200 Dual Disk Drive also available. Each of the CORPORAT/O four models in the 200 series is upgradeable, and can be interfaced to most

NBC's television stations group, for the third consecutive year, had record profits in 1982, said Robert Walsh, group executive vice president, NBC. He would not comment on Hoffman's estimate that the group made between $70 million and $75 million last year, but did offer that "in the past four years we've come close to doubling our bottom line." In Walsh's view the most important program area at the local level is news. `That's where most of our effort goes," he said.

In short, LET'S ATC does not believe that having 2 ghz and 6 ghz frequencies available under the commission's new rules will offset the adverse impact on cable television operators if the 13 ghz band is opened up to private fixed service users," ATC said.

Fowler wants fees big enough to fund public unusual. broadcasting. Wirth wants them big enough to "compensate the public" for use of the spectrum which he calls, in a discredited Las Vegas east cliche, "a valuable public resource." What resource, Chairman Wirth?

As he noted in his masterful reply to Wirth, Eddie Fritts, president of the National Association of Broadcasters, detects "a clear consensus in the Congress that the time for broadcast deregulation is long overdue." Not all of Fritts's members would agree. But if enough pessimists lie back while the NAB headquarters fights on, their prophecy will be self-fulfilling.

Strangers in the hay

Except for our editorial style book's admonishment that "unique" is a dangerous word that should be avoided, we would be tempted to apply it to the startling link -up in which Lorimar Production is acquiring Kenyon & Eckhardt (BROADCASTING, March 28). To be sure, "unusual" is a safer word, but in this case, with neither memory nor the files turning up anything remotely resembling a precedent, it seems weak and inadequate. By any definition, though, this is an interesting deal, making a Drawn for BROADCASTING by Jack Schmidt leading production company the proprietor of a leading advertising agency.
