The program, by far, was the best sponsored by the branch. In true fashion, many .of the black stars whose names have long been household words came to pay tribute to the occasion as well as in an ticipation that they would be (able to collect an award in per son: Though some like Nell Carter of television's ''Ain't Misbehavin," Todd Bridges of "Diffrent Strokes," Roslind Cash, star of the NBC Special "Sister, Sister" and Raymond St. Jacques," of NBC's "Sophisticated Gents" did not get past the nominee stage it was evident that they regarded the event as a landmark in the struggle for black actors and, producers to win greater, na tional recognition.

Instead of the usual theatre, dance, and music features, : there will be a message telling : viewers that the CBS service has ended. CBS made the move into cable satellite service hoping to attract some of the cultural au dience not traditionally drawn to network programs. Many . industry insiders, however, say CBS over-extended itself financially, expecting a quick return on its-investment. The predicted advertising never materialized, and CBS of ficials decided this Fall to drop the venture. CBS is not the first cable service to go under, but it is one of the most prominent, ' said Tom Britt, program direc-. tor for Durham Cablevision. "There are several dozen cable services being offered current ly, and many of those will not survive. Cable television once had the reputation of a sure money-maker, and many tried to get in on the non-existent gold rush. Most have discovered, however, that cable is not the cash-cow they believed it to be." "Viewers are becoming more and more discriminating," said Britt. "That's what makes cable television such a gamble and makes choosing the services to be offered locally such a challenge. Each cable system tries to provide the variety they believe will attract and keep customers in their area. "We hope to replace CBS Cable soon with a service of interest to . Durham subscribers,' said Britt. "Our marketing and .' research departments . are constantly reviewing the services current ly available and we hope to have a decision soon." 41 HOW DID WE.
