Show 9 g WEST VALLEY SAYS SHE throwing some blockbusters up against the Olympics coverage. In the early going, ABC probably took a bath. This Olympics, at least coverage of this Olympics, is hampered by the fact the "games are being staged half a world away. By air time, anyone within earshot of a radio has been privy to the results. The misfortunes of the U. S. ice hockey team likely hurt the ratings on the two early nights exclusive coverage of that sport was scheduled. ABC was undoubtedly banking heavily on carryover interest that was sparked by the Miracle at Lake Placid, when the upstart Americans upset the stoic Soviet Union team and went on to win the gold medal. the network will have sold suf-- j ficient adver-- I tising to more than cover the $91 million it paid for exclusive broadcasting rights, in addition to what is likely to be at least an equal amount for technology and salaries. But what is most important to ABC is how it does in the ratings war. February is the key month in determining the rate the networks will be able to charge for next years advertising. That is why the other two networks are Remember When team The 1984 got a lot of ad- vance publicity, some positive and some negative, from the Canadian eligibility issue. There was no miracle in Sarajevo. The U. S. stumbled badly, and just about everyone knew it before the TV coverage began. the nation the finely tuned ear could probably hear the incessant switching of dials as the hockey coverage came on. All across Some people are deign to watch anything on a tape delay basis. Others cover their ears when scores are announced and later pretend they are seeing it live. Then there are some like me. If we win, Ill watch, but if we lose, I dont want any part of it on a delayed basis. Thats how I apbroadproach BYUs late-nigcasts of home games. I listen on the radio, or at least pick up the score on television news programs. If its good news, then I may watch, but I'm not going to put myself through the agony of defeat if it can be avoided. Especially at a late hour. Things seemed to pick up when the Olympics got to the subjectively judged events (ice skating, ski jumping), and the competition against the clock - skiing, bobsledding, luge, etc. Perhaps it was because my & Dog SPECIAL OFF TWENTY YEARS AGO, as reported in the Green Sheet of Feb. 13, 1964. with patrons . . .

The coverage of the Olympics has, for the most part, been excellent. Surely ABC officials had to scramble when the weather forced postponement of certain events. That probably meant more ice skating coverage, which gets an A from me. I appreciate Ending n TERRIER WE A1 Michaels and Peggy Fleming let the picture do most of the talking. They mention an error, but they dont ramble on throughout the entire program. Other sports announcers should have read that page in the How To Broadcast book. The viewer is seldom given credit for having the sense to know what is going on in front of his face. The major weakness in sports broadcasting is the inability of the team of announcers to let a silent moment cross your screen. I like the unabashed Rah Rah America for the games, although thats verboten for general sports coverage. And cant we all thank our lucky stars that ABC left Howard Cosell home? The coverage has been interesting and informative. And at times entertaining. One of my favorite moments was Saturday innight when terviews were conducted on What is the biathlon? .

The network delved into the difficulties of performing those tasks, and the training designed to offset them. It proved to be an interesting learning experience. I enjoy the break meeting someone "up close and personal brings to the coverage, and Ive been impressed with the attitudes expressed by the athletes that winning a medal isnt everything, its the effort to bring out the best in themselves that seems to be the major goal. It helps to offset the disappointment we as mere fans often feel. Still, there are few things that can compare to the feeling I get when I see the Stars and Stripes on display during a medal ceremony. And when it's accompanied by our National Anthem. it's all that much more exciting. Only gold medal performances are so honored. how Dick Button, native to landfills in disposing of garbage . .
