aury Povich's cur-
rent passion has
become an "Affair"
to remember.
While viewers are taking
his television program "A
Current Affair" to heart, host
Povich has been buffeted
about by a love-hate relation-
ship with media critics, some
of whom have labeled the pro-
gram too tabloid for their
tastes.
But it is Povich who has
tasted victory. "I wear the
term 'tabloid' as a shield of
honor. There is nothing
wrong in that," he says of the
show's tendency to deal in the
sensational. "I have always
said that the first tabloid
show was '60 Minutes: "
Povich clocks in as corifi-
dent and in control, with
brash good looks that belie a
softer center. "I'm too old to
be brash anymore,"he says
with an impish smile. "I'm
not the bad boy anymore?'
Which is bad news for those
wanting to pin his program's
propensity for sex and
violence on a host who checks
for blood and gore before run-
ning stories. Povich will have
none of that. It doesn't wash,
he says; especially when
many of those critical of his
show come from newspapers
with their own laundry list of
devices to attract readers.
He readily admits that "A
Current Affair" deals in
"power and sex and outrage
and influence [peddling] and
the underdog and heroes and
villains and, yes, violence.
But I don't know of many
newspapers — outside of the
New York Times — that don't
adhere" to such policies
either.
And for heaven's sake, he
says, don't trash his show by
lumping it with "trash TV"
programs such as the "Mor-
ton Downey Jr. Show" and
Geraldo Rivera's sludgefest.
"Initially, TV critics put us on
the same list. But I think the
industry now sees the dif-
ference between a Morton
Downey and me. My show's a
story-driven show, not a talk
show?'
What's true is that Povkh
has earned his own stardom,
although he claims he hasn't
been shopping for it. "I never
expected stardom," he says
simply. "When I was younger,
it was very important to me,"
but not now.
Now, he says, he rebels
against the title of Povich the
renegade. At 50, he has settl-
ed down — which in no way
implies settling. There are
many dreams yet to pursue,
he says.
"I would love to do network
news," says the TV personali-
ty, who anchors the Fox net-
work's 7 p.m. weekday broad-
cast on Channel 2.
"And I'd like to establish a
national news show, not
necessarily a traditional one?'
News is a Povich family
tradition. Maury Povich
