Ninety per cent of these cases

TV Is Falling Into on Old Radio Custom
And Fighting Comedy With Comedy
By Harry Macarthur

There are days when television
seems bent upon following radio
down every wrong lane and this
is one of them. A new TV pro-
gram is coming up this fall, spon-
sored by the same brewer who has
brought radio listeners that top
notch Halls of Ivy" 1t is to be
called Pulitzer TV Theater"
and. since it is to be what the
title implies-television versions of
Pulitzer prize plays-it is some
thing to which followers of video
drama can look forward with
eager anticipation.
There is a drawback, however.
1t stems directly from an old radio
custom. It is an old radio custom
to fight fire with fire, as it were,
to battle a high Hooper comedy
show, for instance. with a comedy
show as much like the opposition
as possible. 1t never has occurred
to the advertising agency people
who rule radio programming, ap-
parently, that two shows of like
content merely split an audience.
It seems elementary to anyone
who has not been conditioned to
react in the expected way to the
little numbers with which pollSters
and samplers rate radio programs.
II 20 million people want to listen
to comedy show, it means diff
ferent things to different people.
To the rating -vaccinated produc-
ton people In the ad agencies, it
means that most Of the people
listening to the radio at that
moment in the week want to
listen to q comedy program. To
you and me, Of course, who zee
things with some logic. it means
that several. times 20 million
people are not interested in q
comedy show or they would have
their radios turned on.
So far this has not been q no
ticeable problem for the teleview-
ers. Television programming has
steadily improved. but good shows
still have been far enough apart
and few have had to compete
with an equally good program Of
the same type. Things will be
different in the fall, however, and
there already are indications that
this old complaint against radio
will be in order against TV.
The drawback noted in the case
Of Pulitzer TV Theater" is that
the present plans call for putting
it on ABC-TV at 8 pm. Fridays.
This. as you already know, is the
hour when Ford Theater" is on
CBS-TV on alternate Friday
nights.
This is not without precedent
in television. Of course, since Rob
ert Montgomery Presents" was
scheduled last season on NBC-TV
opposite the CHS Studio One"
an arrangement which did neither
program any good.
1t is quite conceivable. except
possibly to people around adver-
tising agencies, that the people
who watch Ford Theater" on Fri
day nights might welcome a good
TV drama on some other night
when every one else is making with
funnies and songs and dances.
Something of this same sort
seems to be due to happen in the
case Of Ed Wynn. Mr.. Wynn will
be an NBC television personality
come the new season, doing a
show *live" from New York, which
Is welcome news. The latest re-
port, however, has 1t that Mr..
Wynn will be one Of four head
line acts appearing once a month
IN q rotating series scheduled for
Wednesday night-opposite Arthur
Godfrey.
Some people, admittedly, will
find it easy to give up Godfrey
for Wynn or Wynn for Godfrey,
