When it comes to watching television, people have always had several alternatives to turn to. And now, with the latest boom in video technology, the choices seem endless. So how does an independent station go about grabbing its share of the viewers? At Gaylord Broadcasting, we start by grabbing their attention. In a sports conscious city like Seattle, that means broadcasting Mariner baseball games. In Cleveland, it means turning viewers on to our library of over 5,000 movies. And, of course, it means coming out with new and exciting programming to suit our Milwaukee, Houston and Dallas /Fort Worth markets, as well. At Gaylord, that's how we're turning a lot of heads. Because we know if you want to be watched, you've got to make r! yourself heard. Gaylord Broadcasting We're making ourselves ieard.

It won't be long before small earth stations dot the skyscape much like television antennas do today. New technology is making it possible. In fact, small earth stations are already cropping up on apartment buildings and hotels across the country. And the price of these mini -dishes keeps dropping. As we enter this new era of home electronics and entertainment, no company is in a better position to meet the challenge than Western Union. Today, Westar satellites serve the broadcast, cable, radio and teleconferencing industries. In 1982, we're launching two new Westar satellites. These birds will have more power and twice the transponder channels as our present satellites. And we'll put more Westar satellites into orbit later in the decade. For all broadcasters, Westar offers greater economy and versatility than traditional delivery systems. And consistent, high -quality reception at all points. With these advantages, it's no wonder so many syndicated and live programs are now distributed by Westar. Or that the number of cable programmers and special networks is exploding. And the advertising community is using Westar satellites to distribute commercials. It all adds up to a brave new world for video and audio broadcasting, 22,300 miles above the earth. A world brought to you by Western Union.

One year ago, when Seltel was formed, we made a commitment to our client stations and to ourselves. Our goal was to be distinctive in meeting and solving the day -to -day selling problems of the industry, to provide the best quality service and to maintain the strong personal relationships with our stations that is the key to success. It is a goal that has no time limit, an intent and a promise we will continue to work for day after day. SO GOOD

Today, after a successful first year, we're proud to say we number 80 of the finest stations among the company we keep. We are particularly proud of the attention we pay to the special needs of our 14 independent stations. We have teams working out of our NewYork, Chicago and Los Angeles offices that are devoted exclusively to servicing these stations. And, for the future, we are committed to being a major force in their representation. We look forward to seeing you at the INTV this week.

Storer thinks co- located crossownerships would reduce competitive incentives. As to network ownership, it foresees the eventual destruction of the on -air system. The networks, in Storer's view, would inevitably acquire enough cable systems to convert from air to wire and thus make their affiliated stations obsolete or, in Storer's word, "redundant." Nor does the advice stop there. In the comments received last week on an FCC staff report recommending changes in broadcasting crossownership rules, cable interests vigorously supported and telephone companies vigorously opposed the staff recommendation that the present prohibition against co- located cable and telephone crossownerships be retained. Cable also vigorously supported the recommendation that no limit be applied to the size of MSO's. What the FCC has received is a preview of the cases that will be made if it proceeds to a formal rulemaking, as it promptly should. The inquiry need not be as exhaustive as the NCTA recommends, guaranteeing a perpetuation of the status quo into the I next decade.
