Both CNN headlines and Satellite News Channels offer fast-paced formats that give only a brief summary of the top news stories. Turner's Cable News Network is a full-service news presentation that also includes weather, sports and interviews.
The joint announcement of the purchase said the deal was expected to be completed by Oct. 27.
Daniel L. Ritchie, Chairman of Westinghouse Broadcasting & Cable, Inc., said he was disappointed Satellite News was folding, but was "extremely proud of the high quality news product created by the efforts of our employees and our regional associates."
ABC VIDEO PRESIDENT Herbert Grananth said, "SNC was a quality service staffed by quality people, but it became clear the marketplace could not support two similar jobs. I'm sorry it didn't work. It was an extraordinary effort in support of a worthy idea."
Turner, who is hunting in Canada, said in a statement he was "pleased we have been able to catch them."
"We welcome the opportunity to serve the SNC subscribers, and promise to redouble our efforts to deliver to all our viewers the best news product we can possibly produce," Turner said. Turner fitted suit last spring charging that Westinghouse was violating antitrust laws by keeping CNN out of its cable franchises. Westinghouse replied with a countersuit against CNN, charging unfair competition.

HEAVY RAIN AND strong winds knocked down tree limbs and disabled power lines on Long Island and in Westchester County.

torrential rains but said no serious injuries were reported.
A passenger plane crashed in a thunderstorm in Illinois. All 10 people aboard died.
"The plane is wrecked it's just like a piece of sheet metal," state police Lt. John Gunn said.
In the Rocky Mountains the search continued for two men missing in snows there since last weekend. No trace of them has been found.
The cold front that drove rains into the Midwest also covered the Red River Valley with snow. Four inches covered Grand Forks, and a third of snow fell throughout northwest Minnesota.
THE COLD FRONT battled warm, moist air over Texas. The collision erupted into a burst of heavy thunderstorms, and a tornado touched down near Nacogdocos, Texas, without causing damage. Two inches of rain drenched Brownville, Texas.
Winds up to 40 mph whistled through Corpus Christi, Texas, and Laredo, Texas. Storms knocked out power lines, leaving hundreds of Dallas residents without power for as long as an hour. Hail poured parts of Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas.
To the west of the chilly, snowy east, an early autumn Santa Ana wind pumped hot desert air into Southern California.

Don Brownstein, associate professor of philosophy, agreed. "It was terribly frightening."
Gina Kellogg and Kurt Limesand, both Prairie Village sophomores, slowly left the theater with the 500 other viewers.
It makes a tear run down your seem close to home. Kellogg says.
Limites said "The Day After" wasn't the type of movie to see twice.
It's not something you really like to think about," he said. "The film has a lot of impact. The heavy overtones are very saddening."
"It makes a real nuclear war seem close to home." Kellogg said. I laughed and said, "The Day After," not the tune of movie to see two

SCENES FILMED AT THE University of Kansas and in Lawrence unfold about 40 minutes into the film, about five minutes before the onslaught of the nuclear holocaust. The Lawrence scenes open with an aerial view of the University and a shot of Massachusetts Street from
The blast leaves Kansas City in rubble amid blinding light and a vast cloud of orange. Effects portrait people who are burning and dissolving.
Jason Robards stars in the film as Russell Oakes, a Kansas City physician is driving to KU to teach at the University hospital hospital.
Although the University of Kansas Medical Center is in Kansas City, Kan., the film takes the liberty to place the University medical center in
Steve Guttenberg and Jeff East play KU students Stephen Klein and Bruce Gallatin. The movie involves around the two students; Oakes; a farm family named the Dahlbergs; a KU professor, played by John Lilwath; and an Air Force maintenance man.
After the blast, the remainder of the 2-hour, 15-minute film follows survival efforts in the aftermath of the explosion. Oakes keeps the University hospital operating, the only hospital within 100 miles, and refugees flock to Lawrence.
IN THE EARLY PART of the film, reports are being printed and broadcast of international unrest. Gallatin is planning to marry Denise Dahiberg, and Oakes is worrying about his two children. The professor is going to a KU football game, and the airman is doing maintenance work on missile silos.
Most of the action concerns the thousands of people who are dying from
The film does not say whether the Soviet Union or the United States started the war, but it does say that the Soviets suffered similar disaster.
radiation poisoning and the violence and lawlessness of hungry and desperate people.
DURING FILMING LAST fall, more than 1,000 KU students and Lawrence residents worked as extras, but few will be able to see themselves. The Lawrence scenes that include the most extras are brief mob shots.
Most of the people watching the film in its public debut yesterday said they were impressed with the made for TV movie, and that said it that they saw the film.
"It's a very sobering film. It really caught the effects of nuclear war home," said David Adkins, Topoka law student and former body member.
pancee. Jance Dagley, Kansas City, Mo, said she thought that the beginning of the film was extremely boring. But she said she was impressed with the ending.
"I HOPE THIS movie can get people to do something." Dagley said. "I hope the movie can stop the deployment of nuclear missiles. I'm afraid people will be so depressed they won't be able to get into action. It was real weird."
The movie's director, Nicholas Meyer, said people were speechless after the film.
"People are asking them what they think when they want to have a private time of reflection." Meyer said.
Meyer has continually said that "The Day After" was the most worthwhile accomplishment in his career.
Saying that his comments were of marginal concern, Meyer called the film a "very life-affirming movie," and said it would be a success if it prevented World War III.
The $7 million movie will be show at 7 p.m. on ABC TV Nov. 20. After the telecast, ABCNews will present a special one-hour edition of "Hillary Clinton."
A LOCAL ANTI-NUCLEAR group. Let Lawrence Live, has planned a series of activities around the TV show, including a candlelight vigil at the Memorial Campanile. The group was distributing anti-nuclear material during yesterday's premiere.
