Press coverage for NETV
increases because of strike
By Patty Pryo
The Nebraska Educa
tional Television Network
perhaps gained the most in
the recent Screen Actors'
Guild strike, without even
being directly involved, Ron
Hull, program manager for
NETV, said.
In general, public tele
vision received more atten
tion from national press as a
result of the strike, he said.
The national press includes
TV Guide and various enter
tainment supplements in the
Sunday editions of the
newspapers. Free publicity
for public television was
available because of the
abscence of programming
from the three national
networks.
"There was much less
competition (in television),
both for promotion and the
viewer," Hull said.
As a result, NETVs
first season presentation,
Cosmos, which began
Monday night, made the
cover of TV Guide. This
is highly unusual for a pub
lic broadcasting show, Hull
said.
NETV was able to con
tinue functioning through
the strike because actors are
hired on a different basis
than in the network system,
Hull said.

For instance, Hull said,
during the filming of a
second Mark Twain series
this past summer, Pat Hingle
and other actors stayed on
through the completion of
the project despite the
actors' strike. NETV made
an agreement not to pay
the actors according to the
new guidelines that have
been established by the
strike, which were not in
effect when production be
gan. We don't sip actors
under Actors' Equity or
SAG contracts," said Hull,
but salary rates set by these
unions are usually followed.
Hull said there is not
much of a problem in at
tracting major actors for
educational television. Some
actors, he said, valued the
connection of the broad
casting system to the univer
sity, while others feel there
is "more integrity" in the
writing in public television.
Actors sometimes feel that
the writing more closely
follow the original intent of
the story it is based on, Hull
said.
Hie cost of hiring actors
is minimal in relation to the
total production costs, Hull
said.
As another example, In
the "Anyone for Tenny
son?" series, which has been
discontinued, Hull said, a
well-known actress such as
Valerie Harper was hired for
$1 ,200 plus expenses, while
the tdtal cost of, producing
one show was $25,000.
Hull cited such factors
as shooting on location
and extensive royalties as
major expenditures. He said
script writing, especially, is
"very expensive, ranging
from $5,000 to $10,000 a
script."
Because NETV sells no
advertising, the system must
rely on other means of in
come. Some of these in
clude state and federal allo
cations, grants from the
university and other found -ationSji
and funds raised
from the private sector. The
Mark Twain series was
funded from various found
ations and the 'Tennyson'
series was funded entirely
by other PBS stations, Hull
said.
NETV does not function
as a part of a larger, nation
wide network. National pro
grams are fed to NETV
out of Washington DC.
by satellite, but in other
aspects, the public system
is completely independant
in operation, Hull said.
