CBS exec says 'start small'
By Brian Whepley
Staff writer
the president of CBS-TV, Tony Malara, yesterday encouraged students interested in careers in broadcasting to gain experience in smaller markets instead of expecting to go right to the ton.

Tony Malara, president of CBS-TV, talks to an RTVF 280 class. Malara shared his insights into the decision-making process involved at a large television network with the audience of about 300 yesterday in 3140 Wesco Hall.
Malara, speaking to about 300 students in an introductory course in radio, television and film in Wescoe Hall, said, "There's an awful lot of people doing great work at local television stations.
"In smaller stations you get to do everything and it's great."
Malara spoke to the class in conjunction with the showing of "Inside CBS," a documentary about the network that the students viewed Monday
Malara said after his speech that CBS commissioned the documentary to inform people of how a network works.
"We're isolated from the audiences we serve," he said.
Critics of prime-time television often seem unaware that the networks are in the mass circulation business and their menu must appeal to the extremes of the audience, he said.
But, he said, "I don't want to go down in history as the father of Dukes of Hazzard."
Malara said critics of television often accused the networks of pandering to their audiences.
Viewers watch what they want, he said.
"I don't think they get stupid when they turn on the television set," Malara said.
Malara answered the students' questions on takeover attempts by conservative watchdog groups, stereo television and the effect of television on children
A call by Sen. Jesse Helms, R-N.C., for conservatives to buy out CBS and rid it of its alleged liberal leanings has failed, he said.
The majority of people who have the same political beliefs as Helms rejected his plan, Malara said. Most newsmen are as objective as possible and any group that tries to take over a network — no matter what side they're on — worries Malara.
"Those guys scare the hell out of me," he said.
Stereo television will not take over the market, Malara said. At this time, it is too expensive for the network and its affiliates.
He said stereo television sets had not yet sufficiently penetrated the market to justify the cost. NBC is the leading proponent of stereo television because it is owned by RCA, a maker of television sets.
Deserted baby faces monthlong SRS stay
By Lynn Maree Ross Staff writer

It could be more than a month before the future of a newborn boy abandoned on Sunday is decided, a local Social Rehabilitation Services official said yesterday.
The baby, now 4 days old, was found by residents of a local apartment building and transferred to Lawrence Memorial Hospital.
He was released yesterday into the custody of the Lawrence SRS office. Lawrence police said they had not made any progress in finding the mother of the baby.
Donna Flory, supervisor of protection services for Lawrence SRS, said that if the baby's parents were not located, he may eventually be put up for adoption.
She said that when an abandoned child needs medical attention, the police usually place him in the protective custody of a hospital.
If the child does not need medical attention, the police release him into the custody of SRS, Flory said.
Regardless of who has custody,
Flory said, by law a hearing must be held within 48 hours after the child is found to determine the need for temporary separation of the child from parents.
If the parents cannot be found, the child is placed in temporary custody, usually with SRS, she said. Even if the parents come forward to claim the child, the court may award temporary custody to someone else. These hearings are kept confidential because the child is a minor.
Within 30 days after the first hearing, or as soon as the court schedule allows, a formal hearing must be held to further examine the facts of the case, Flory said.
If the child was removed from the care of the parents during the first hearing, the formal hearing gives them the chance to present their case and try to get the child back.
The court may decide in the formal hearing to terminate the parents' right to the child even if they are located, Flory said.
