...networks seemed to take the strike rather calmly last week, it was because they had the programming problem taped. When they ran out of fresh shows, all they had to do was rerun old ones.

He was through for good, it was announced, because the National Broadcasting Co. was playing tapes of his old shows during the AFTRA strike...
...third round of World Première, a series of special, two-hour TV-movies being filmed by Universal Pictures, NBC was in gleeful possession of at least the No. 2 and 4 ratings among all the movies shown this season-topped only by ABC's incredibly popular rerun of a movie-movie, Bridge on the River Kwai.

Last week, in a bitter rerun of a contested Democratic primary in a predominantly Jewish and Italian-American district in Manhattan, five-term Congressman Leonard Farbstein, who supports the Administration's Viet Nam policy, won renomination by a bigger margin than in June.
