NEW YORK - The first annual
Emmy awards show for tele-
vision news appeared Tuesday
night on the CBS network with
occasional flashes on anchorman
humor but all the inherent thrill
of baking bread.
As an idea it was good. It was
the first time in the 25-year his-
tory of the National Academy of
Television Arts and Sciences that
television news teams have been
honored separately by the acad-
emy.
AS A SHOW, the 90-minute pro-
gram may have proved too low-
key and often confusing for the
average viewer trying to sort out
who won what in the seven basic
categories for the Emmy awards.
CBS swept theproceedings as
far as network produced shows
were concerned. It won 11 Em-
mys' followed by NBC with three
and ABC with two during the
ceremonies attended by a black-
tie audience here.
However, the honor of the
awards frequently seemed dimin-
ished by the academy's policy of
allowing more than one award in
certain categories. It gave the
show an unfortunate Emmy-for-
everyone atmosphere.
'OR EXAMPLE, the judges-
television critics from newspap-
ers around the country - gave

three Emmys in one category in
which there were six nominees.
CBS' fine "60 Minutes" series
got three more in another field
of six. Nobody came in second or.
even third.
Oh, well, there were certain
satisfactions, particularly t h e
three Emmys a w a r d e d the
"America" series which was co-
produced by Time-Life, Inc., and
the British Broadcasting Corp.
and run on NBC.
And ABC's two Emmys - one
of which went to sportscaster Jim
McKay - were richly deserved.
They were for ABC's coverage of
last September's Olympic trag-
edy at Munich, Germany.
ON THE brighter side, the fun-
niest part of the show was the
"outtakes" portion - outtakes
are new film never broadcast for
one reason or another.
Among' other things, they fea-
tured NBC's John Chancellor's
announcing his departure for
some city and forgetting which;
several other correspondents .do-
ing the same thing and one be-
fuddled television newsman us-
ing up five introductions to make
the same mistake as many times.
The show, which featured brief
clips of the major nominations,
was hosted by Chancellor, CBS'
Walter Cronkite, ABC's Howard
K. Smith and Harry Reasoner
and public television's Robert
MacNeil.
THEY AMIABLY kidded each
other, but the best ad-libbing

review
came from Reasoner, whose
much-advertised dry wit was in
fine form. Advised that it was
the first time the five anchor-
men had appeared together on
television, he deadpanned: " .
It's also the first time some
of us have been seen from the
waist down. Normally, I only
have my coat pressed."
To sum the thing up, it was a
good idea, a dignified effort and
dull viewing. It may improve
next year; and maybe by that
time, somebody will explain to
the academy that three winners
in one category represents ram-
pant indecision, not singular hon-
or.
