uncertain. His sponsor has been
expected for some time now to
make decision any minute about
supporting "Garroway-at-Large"
(WNBW-Sunday, 10 PM next
year. but so far no word. Inde-
cision seems to be lowering over
the premises.
The sponsor likes Garoway, all
right, according to Variety, the
weekly show business journal. and
\ it is almost completely satisfied
with '.Garroway-at-Large" There
is, however, a minor detail and it
may come as some surprise. Gar
lroway's popularity rating with the
Tv audience is good. except In,
New York.
| What that makes New York is
something you will have to decide
for yourself.
There also is the matter of
price boost. according to Variety.
NBC-TV is reported asking $18,-
500 a week next year for the
show, which this year costs about
$12, 900.
Whatever happens to Caro-
way-at-Large." it win be moved
to a new time next autumn. The
lGarroway sponsors option on the
Sunday-at-10 spot ran out and
the network sold it for the new
Red Shelton show, which will
make its bow in the 19s1-52 sea-
son.
1t doesn't seem likely that NBC
would have to carry Garroway
long as a sustaining program.
Several other prospective spon-
sors are waiting for the present
one to make up its mind.
