Show Television Today Turner to Team Up With PBS for Audubon Series and PBS through public television station WET A (Washington, DC.) have come to terms on a three-yea- r coproduction agreement of new Audubon Specials, which will begin airr programs ing in March. The will receive maximum national exposure through telecasts on WTBS and the 313 subscriber stations of PBS. The arrangement calls for the production of 12 hours of original programming through 1988, to be titled World of Audubon Specials on TBS and National Audubon Society Specials on PBS. Beginning with the March edition, each special will premiere on TBS and receive three encore presentations PBS stations will broadcast the programs beginning in July. Turner agrees not to air the programs during July, August and September so that PBS will enjoy exclusive airplay during those months. This is the first time TBS and PBS have joined forces on a major, original production, Turner explained. That such a venture has come about is a tribute to the National Audubon Ted Turner, the millionaire independent television mogul who tried to take over CBS and tailed but managed to scare the network out of a dozen years growth has been play one-hou- ing for some time with the idea of producing original mass appeal programming Most recently he funded a series on Jacques Cousteau, but Turner's ambitions seem to go beyond merely being a producer. So it comes as no special surprise that he has cut a deal with the Public Broadcasting Service for a series of specials involving the National Audubon Society. As Turner explained it, the Society, Turner Broadcasting System (TBS) television and they present subjects of vital concern to our world Had TBS (Turners Atlanta, Ga superstation) been the only outlet for the specials, those homeviewers with cable television in Utah would not be able to receive the broadcasts. Noncable viewers will be able to see the programs on KUED and KBYU. The first special is entitled Condor and is narrated by Robert Redford. The hour tells of the fight to save the California Condor, now on the brink of extinction. Condor features the only existing footage of the six reCBS Sunday Night Movie: Rocka-by- e maining wild condors in flight and documents efforts to revitalize the was fourth, 60 Minutes tied with Cheers for fifth.

POSTSCRIPT: In observance of the centennial celebration of the novels publication, American Playhouse four-pawill present a new four-houadaptation of Mark Twains classic Adventures of Huckleberry Finn debuting m early February on PBS and continuing over four consecutive weeks. There have been five feature films and two television movies made of Twains "Huck Finn, but the Playhouse decided to a definitive version of the novel because of the committment to Twain stories by executive producer William Perry and producer Jane Iredale. The two have adapted five other Twain stories for film, including Life on the Mississippi, The Private History of a Campaign That Failed, The Mysterious Stranger, The Innocents Abroad, and Puddnhead , Wednesday January 15 5 1 EYEWITNESS NEWS with Keith McCord B Corole Mikito 5.15 a.m. Down To Earth (D CD 5:25 a.m. Together NBC News Morning Stretch CBS Early Morning News (D CD 5:55 a.m. Down To Earth (D News 6:00 a.m. CD (D 85 1:00 p.m. Santa Barbara General Hospital CD ABCs World News This Morning CBS Morning News Mechanical Universe Jimmy Swaggart 85 6:15 a.m. Guiding Light Mister Rogers Bewitched 1:30 p.m. Secret City Andy Griffith 2:00 p.m. C9 (D Another World (D Divorce Court Merv Griffin CD Contact boat 85 39 6:45 a.m. CD Today Good Morning America Mister Rogers Polka Dot Door (7) CD 85 Dream Of Timmy And Lassie Voltron, Defender Of The Universe CD 8:00 a.m. CD Contact Gourmet Cooking 85 And Masters Of The Universe Plasticman CD Charlies Angels Love Boat Mister Rogers G.l. 85 35 25,000 Pyramid 85 35 Scooby Doo Captain Harlock CD Card Sharks Figuring It Out Flintstones 8:30 a.m. Great Space Coaster CD Big Valley 9:30 a.m. CD 89 Perfect Match Why In The World Polka Dot Door Weekday CD 10:00 a.m. Sale Of The CD (D 89 Century New Love American Style Talk About Educational Programming Today s Special Movie - "The a Wheeled Warriors Lan- caster, Shelley 35 Winters Mayberry R F.D 10:30 a.m. CD (I) CD News CD Benson Price Is Right Secret City Transformers a Wheel Of Fortune Ryan s Hope Young And The Hooked On Aerobics New Dick Van Dyke Show 11.00 a.m. CD Id 39 Hour Magazine Children BYU Devotional Archives Fit For Life All My 11.30 a m. fD if i As The World Turns Countries And Alive r3 News One Life To Live Universe (D (D a Little 5.30 p.m. 'Wild, 3 6.00 p.m. 2 Carlisle j (it 39 t 19 t Sesame Street - Beverly Hillbillies Movie - Sullivan 3 Empire, Iht i,1 Martin Linden Chilos 12 30 p m. i r King Together with Mark Eubank on KUTV NEWS1 51 EYEWITNESS Welti S' & News Wheel Of Fortune Wild, Wild World Of Animals Timmy And Lassie Gimme A Break' One Day At A Time 6 30 pm.
