Broadcastino Nov 24 140.9 FIFTEEN YEARS AGO, DONAHUE BROUGHT NEW LIGHT TO DAYTIME.

The year was 1967. Daytime television offered two basic formats: quizzes and soaps. Then came Donahue. He played no games with his audience. And the drama his show created was not scripted in Hollywood. Instead, it emanated from being the only in existence not afraid to tackle important issues. Controver- sial issues. The ratings responded. But on this, our anniversary, we're not going to cart out the latest Nielsons. Or our most recent overnights. We'd rather show you the kind of numbers you don't achieve overnight. Numbers like these: 15 years. 11 Emmys. 1 Peabody. 6 million viewers daily. 211 markets coast-to-coast. Over a dozen English- speaking countries, around the world. Donahue. Fifteen years old. And day- time television still has never seen a talk show like it.

We've talked up shares just about everywhere we're heard. Big markets (33 of the top 50!). Small markets. Plus markets in between.

TOP OF THE WEEK L r Final three weeks to go for 97th Congress Internal reorganization may get more attention than legislation in closing moments; copyright still has a chance; most other measures expected to die

Congress returns this week primarily to wrestle with fiscal 1983 appropriations bills now long overdue. (Congress has been unable to pass any appropriations mea- sures and therefore the government has been operating on a series of continuing resolutions.) However, the legislators will find other unfinished business, including several pending telecommunications -related mea- sures. And with only three weeks to do its work (Congress is slated to adjourn Dec. Packwood Thurmond 17) it appears that broadcasters, the cable industry and advertisers, among others, will see little movement on communica- tions issues during this lame -duck session. Those bills that are not acted on this year will die. Internal reorganization after Novem- ber's elections is another activity likely to occupy legislators' time -particularly in the House where Democrats gained 26 seats. Also, there are eight vacancies to be filled, due to those elections, on the House Energy and Commerce Commit- tee, which has jurisdiction over com- munications matters. The House begins reorganization Dec. 6. Senate reorganization will not be major (only five new senators were elected) but there are two vacancies on the Senate Dingell Wirth Commerce Committee, due to the defeat of Senators Howard Cannon (D -Nev.) and 54 Republican senators.

CBS's Joe Flaherty W. ABC's Julie Barnathan The odd couple Two of broadcasting's top technologistsABC's Julius Barnathan and CBS's Joseph Flaherty- have had it with the growing nonstandardization in the technical area that retards the development of new broadcast services and threatens to throw the logistics of electronic news gathering into worldwide chaos. They find the fault both within and outside the industry. Sure of the universal application of its "marketplace" theory, the FCC, for example, has backed away from setting standards for AM stereo, teletext and multichannel (stereo) sound. RCA/ Matsushita and Sony, meanwhile, are proceeding steadfastly with their incompatible half-inch videocassette formats for ENG despite broadcasters' desire for a single standard. Flaherty and Barnathan, customarily on different sides of the broadcasting fence, have been driven by all this into a new common cause: to urge the FCC to "bite the bullet" on setting technical standards and advising their fellow broadcasters to hold the line on choosing any of the small format VCR's until the manufacturers compromise on a single standard. The new allies met with BROADCASTING editors late one night this month after a black -tie dinner in Washington to share their plaint with the industry through the following "At Large."

Now, if this confusion remains, you'll period of years where you replace, as Julie says, the old ones and the have to know what kind of equipment he has in Des Moines. mobile ones first. It's not going to happen overnight. But it can't get started without the compatibility.

Well, what can you do to get the industry to create compatibility?

Flaherty: First of all, I think you've got to understand why it happened, because this is a new phenomenon. This isn't just a casual happenstance. This is a new phenomenon that's going to happen to us more and more. In the past, the equipment began in the professional field and worked its way down to the consumer field some years later as it became cheaper and cheaper. This is one of the first examples of consumer products that were built and sold by the millions and now are being upgraded to professional use. So the hazard is that the standards-or lack of stan- dards -are well established. Millions of dollars are invested in tooling and factories by these various vendors to make these things. So it's not an academic exercise for them just to say, "OK, we'll throw everything away and change." So the problem is that we no longer are facing a market where we as professionals can determine what we as professionals will use. This is the first time that's happened-well, really it's the second time. The first time was the U -matic but it happened that there was only one standard. Thank God. But you can look down the line and you can see-will we some day have videodisks that have been upgraded to professional use in two different standards? Will we sometimes have these other consumer products and get upgrades? And the reason that's happening is that development these days is taking place at a component level rather than an equipment level. Chips, see, you make them really in chips.

Barnathan: It's all in the chips. That's what makes it possible. Take a chip for a sync generator. They didn't develop it for us. They developed it because they wanted it for the consumer. Not because of the thousand that we're going to buy in the broadcast industry, but because of the millions that will be used by the public at large. It's all electronics now, Flaherty everything is electronics. You bought a calculator and you paid $200 for

it, five years ago. Now you can buy it for $10. It'll be less later on.

Flaherty: Well, what are we going to do about it? What has to happen is that one of the systems will emerge with some technical and operating advantages-we don't know which ones those are now-but since the SMPTE committee was disbanded, we at CBS have written to all the vendors who make this equipment and have asked for sample equipment to evaluate in the lab. Without a standard we now have to test the equipment ourselves and make a decision.

Barnathan: We've done the same thing. We may even buy some of them because we want to save some money in very isolated situations. But that doesn't mean we're going to be jumping overboard for these things.

Flaherty: So we're going to test them. Now, although the standards effort has collapsed here, it has not collapsed in Europe. The EBU [European Broadcasting Union] still has its standards committee going. With their laws in Europe, they have user -only standards committees, and in the case of the EBU, manufacturers are not permitted to be members, so they may be consulted but the users make their own decision, and set the standard. Here it isn't as easy to do. The EBU has released a notice to all its members that specifically says that the EBU member organizations refrain from undertaking major investments in the field of noncomposite analog recording, for news gathering, until the EBU specialist group has completed its work and the bureau or the technical committee has had an opportunity to formulate an indication on the recording format to be recommended for adoption in Europe. Now, these people are very competent engineers, and there's little reason to believe that their tests would be very much different than our own. A lot of international news originates there, and that standard may in fact become a de facto one. If it's good enough, it can be adopted here. Barnathan Mind you, it isn't just SMPTE. We had this trouble about teletext at the EIA. And look at AM stereo. The NAB recommended five possibili- Flaherty: And for every camera, you generate three tape machines. Two ties to the FCC, and the FCC answered: "Thank you very much, we'll to edit and one to play back. take all five." So it isn't just the SMPTE, it's all these committees. Let me make another point. Unless these equipments are developed, what will happen is there will be a backlash in the market as people do Barnathan: Nobody wants to bite the bullet. But it's not too late. experiment, buy this equipment and discover they really can't use it.

They be made by all the local stations, which is an independent and diffuse don't figure-that speed runs three times the speed; three times the speed marketplace. If they begin going in one way or in multiple ways, then means three times the less reliable. It's already unreliable, right? Now that will cause either a de facto standard or massive confusion. you may go three times as fast, and it makes it less reliable.

Then the industry community, they believe, has to And now all of a sudden you've got all these record stations. What give up. So that was the reason behind the EIAs and NAB's request to makes one different from the other? Nothing. So what if somebody says, the commission to hold off on the rulemaking. And the commission "Hey, it's nice to have records. I'll tell you what I'm gonna do, I'm going denied that.

One of the attractions of the Zenith ad- dressable converters is its baseband scrambling system, which, according to one cable engineer, is "inherently more secure" than conventional RF scrambling techniques. But Zenith's is not the only broadband converter on the market. Kanematsu -Goshu Inc., for instance, featured at the show its Sprucer II one - and two -way addressable gear. The conver- ters, which can handle 440 mhz and two gables, feature parental discretion control, opinion polling and impulse PPV on all channels. K -G was promising initial deliv- eries of the boxes in the first quarter of 1983. Tocom Inc. is another maker of base - band addressable decoders, but its new product at the show was a device that ena- bles cable operators to upgrade to ad- dressability with minimal investment.

The Zenith method, on the other hand, eliminates both problems, he said. By automatically dialing and redialing he said, the device produces a 10 -fold increase in the efficiency of a single telephone line. The drawback, he said, is that it requires the cable operators to put another $30 worth of hardware into each subscriber's home. But what about all those nonaddressable systems? According to Blonder- Tongue Laboratories Inc., Old Bridge, N.J., there's even a way for them to get in on potential PPV revenues on a regular basis. Some nonaddressable cable systems have successfully cablecast PPV events using disposable traps. The cable system inserts at the headend an interfering signal into the PPV programing. And only those subscribers who had purchased a disposa- ble trap and installed it in between the ca- ble and converter to "trap out" the inter- fering signal are able to see a good picture. The disposable traps have an "energiz- ing" circuit that runs down after a short period and the entire trap eventually be- comes useless. As it demonstrated at the Western Show, Blonder- Tongue, which has supplied numerous disposable traps, has taken the concept one step further. Its new two -piece PPV trap separates the trap from the energizing circuit. This permits the cable operator to install a permanent set -top trap in the subscribers' home and mail them an energizer that snaps into the Ready to roll. NBC hadn't bought a mobile unit in 14 years, so people there decided to go trap and that will work for only 24 hours all out in designing and building this one.

Broadcastina Nov 714 151112 The Grape Escape

Footraces, bed races, grape stomping and wine tasting were all part of the fun at the three -day wine and harvest festival jointly sponsored by Paw Paw and Kalamazoo, Michigan. This "Grape Escape" was designed to promote the area's wine industry. And to help insure its success, the planning committee turned to WKZO Radio. The station responded with the WKZO Performance Stage, where singers, dancers and musicians entertained the crowds with free shows all three days. More than 200,000 people attended the festival. As one committee chairman said, "I'm sure WKZO's support, both on and off the air, played an important part in our huge success!" Helping build awareness for a growing and important state industry is all part of the Fetzer tradition of total community involvement.
