Times Cable Venture
Date: 27 February 1995
The New York Times Company said yesterday that its television station in Fort Smith, Ark., KFSM, had started two local cable news channels that each carry advertising aimed at a specific region. The two cable channels, each known as News Channel 5, provide news around the clock by simulcasting live news programs from KFSM and replaying them until the next live news broadcast. One channel appears on a Fort Smith cable system, while another appears on a northwestern Arkansas cable system. Advertisers can reach viewers in either or both areas. "This is the first television station in the country to launch two local cable news channels with separate advertising zones," Nancy Nielsen, the spokeswoman for the company, said yesterday.

The long-running, contentious drama involving Rupert Murdoch, the Fox network and the Federal Communications Commission took yet another twist late last week, one that had many of those who had taken an interest in the case believing for the first time that Mr. Murdoch might be in for some real trouble. The twist came in the form of a brief but highly significant declaration by an important F.C.C. staff member. He said that contrary to testimony given by Mr. Murdoch and other Fox executives and lawyers, the staff member was not aware in 1985 that Mr. Murdoch's Australian company, the News Corporation, controlled 99 percent of the equity in six television stations that Mr. Murdoch acquired that year.

POLL FINDS PUBLIC DOUBTS KEY PARTS OF G.O.P.'S AGENDA

Eight weeks after Republicans assumed control of Congress and vowed to make the Government more responsive, Americans are dubious about central elements of the party's legislative agenda on issues that include welfare, crime, military spending and the Federal budget deficit, according to the latest New York Times/CBS News Poll. Republicans are generally more supportive than Democrats and independents of what the new leadership in Congress is trying to do. But Republicans, too, express misgivings about the course taken by Speaker Newt Gingrich and his loyalists. Most Americans believe that Congress should stress jobs and crime -- issues that have not been top priorities for Republicans this year -- and health care, which has not been on the agenda of the new Congress at all.

If the baseball strike continues beyond opening day and the 1995 major league season is played with replacement players, a new poll suggests that owners can expect a sharp drop in stadium attendance while two-thirds of the fans will continue to watch games on television. Those were among the findings of a New York Times/CBS News poll that also found broad fan support for the owners' quest for a salary cap, a narrow preference for continued negotiations over forced arbitration, a resounding rejection of Government involvement and an indication that the strike has caused an erosion of interest in a sport that had been losing fans for years.
