Unfortunately, Quinn's debut last week on the revamped CBS Morning News was not delirious in any sense. The show's former anchor men, the no-nonsense team of John Hart and Nelson Benton, had failed to attract a big enough audience compared with NBC's 22-year-old juggernaut of the morning schedule, the Today Show (an estimated 1.7 million viewers v. 5.2 million). In an effort to pep up the ratings, the network created a more relaxed format, with more room for ad-libbing...
...Duke get skewered by one of Santa Ana's mean minions. It is something I have wanted to do for years, and it provided me much vicarious pleasure I must advise, however, that you have to wait until Friday and Part II to see this epic moment, as NBC is so sure you will watch both parts, enabling them to bombard you with twice as many commercials.

Pert, occasionally impertinent Newswoman Sally Quinn, 32, this week begins squaring off against NBC's Barbara Walters each morning on CBS-TV. During rehearsals leading up to the debut, she was alternately laughing hysterically and feeling "frozen with terror." Sally shares an apartment with her longtime boy friend, Warren Hoge, city editor of the New York Post, but their schedules leave them few free hours together-she works from 1 a.m. till noon, he from 8:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. When Sally moved to Manhattan, her colleagues at the Washington Post, where she had been a reporter...
Prices have been especially high for the fall, and the discounts that network salesmen traditionally proffer to sweeten the deals have been small. One minute of commercial time on CBS's All in the Family had a record list price of $128,000; a minute on NBC's Sanford & Son commanded as high as $90,000; and a minute on ABC's Marcus Welby, M.D. cost $76,000. Total prime-time advertising sales so far in 1973 are running 15% ahead of last year. Says Mike Weinblatt, NBC-TV vice president of sales, the record bookings...
DEAN MARTIN PRESENTS: MUSIC COUNTRY (NBC, Thursday, 10-11 p.m. E.D.T.). Filmed entirely on location in and around Nashville, Tenn., last week's première hour in this seven-part series promised an amiable music-cum-open-air aimlessness-Mel Tillis grinning through Neon Rose at the bar of Tootsie's Orchid Lounge, 91-year-old Uncle Pete Pillington picking his banjo on his front porch, the Statler Brothers singing dauntlessly in the driving Tennessee rain. Country music fans will probably find the pop-crossover material impure, but if the appealing mood-and the lineup...
