FOCUS V Coverage and cost of winter Olympics boom If a time machine were to whirl us back to the resort of Innsbruck, Austria, on Jan. 29, 1964, we would find a town consumed with pomp and circumstance. On that day, into Olympic waters for the first time, but did not come unprepared. Having covered events like skiing, bobsledding, figure skating, speed and ski jumping, ABC Innsbruck welcomed the skating came to winter Olympics covworld with opening ceremo- erage with impressive credennies of the IX Winter Olympic tials.

Part of it, as an acting teacher tells her classes, Is the degree to which you are willing to forget yourself and project an attitude of what the character is supposed to be. Which is fine up to the point where the character must be also be notably more bulky (or less) and a couple of decades older. Then the attitudes need team work from costumers A little stiffening of the joints is also how Jan Miner has styled her starring role as the matriarch Fanny Farrelly in the Broadway revival of Lillian Heilmans Watch on the Rhine. Except for her fine, cheekbones, high-ridin- g Jan onstage is all but unrecognizable to televiewers the world over who know her best as Madge the Manicurist in the Palmolive commercials. As Jan explained it: There is nothing explicit that says Fanny should be at least 30 pounds heavier than I am, but in the dialogue other characters imply that this woman is substantial in more ways than just financial. Jan continued, This play is set in 1940 and those stiff corand makeup artists. When it comes to figure sets women wore then help lot.

Four years later, the games moved to Grenoble, France. ABC made considerable use of the Early Bird satellite so that events were seen by. U.S. viewers the same day they took place. It was the first time a sports event originating outside of this country was seen live here. Another first was the fact that the telecasts were almost totally in color. A development by ABC, IBM and Omega showed the audience the time to beat in a given event. The brightest star of the Grenoble games was Frenchman Jean Claude Killy, who became the second man in history to win all three Alpine skiing gold medals. The partisan French crowd was ecstatic. Another winner of the Grenoble games was willowy Peggy Fleming, who took the gold in figure skating. Eight years after Grenoble, ABC returned to Innsbruck. Although only a dozen years separated the two Olympics, ABCs technical advancements were progressive. For the first time, ABC was able to provide coverage of an Alpine event, the' now famous run by Franz Klammer. Who will ever forget the engaging smile of West Germanys Rosi Mittemaier, humble when she won her first two gold medals and gra- m cious when she barely lost her third. There was bubbly Dorothy Hamill who captured a gold medal in figure skating and revolutionized womens hairstyles with her Hamill cut. A determined and powerful Sheila Young garnered three speed skating medals to make her mark in Olympic history. Coverage has been accompanied by astronomical costs. Rights to provide coverage of the winter Olympics have escalated from $200,000 in 1964 to $2 million in 1968 and $10 million in 1976. The 1980 rights cost $15.5 million. The cost of advertising during the winter Olympics has grown from $41,000 per commercial minute in 1968 to $135,000 for the 1980 Games. The number of advertisers involved in the Winter Olympics has also increased. In 1968, seven major advertisers were involved; in 1976, there were 15 and for the 1980 games, 25 advertisers each have committed at least $800,000 in advertising time. pi ' -- laznvd ava : natr&rtv The national ratings have grown with the importance of the event. In 1968, for example, the average ratings were 11.8 with a 27 percent share, but in 1976, the ratings jumped to 19.4 with a 35 percent share of the audience. It is estimated that 180 million people will watch some portion of the winter Olympics during the coming two weeks approximately 85 percent of the total U.S. population.
