Ford Foundation TV Workshop A Success Cultural Program On TV Pays Off .xeav York, up— to those who wondef whether the long-range effort to mix a little culture with entertainment on television was .a commercial success, the Ford Foundation’s TV-radio workshop points to the record. Its 90-minute “Omnibus’’; program' on the ÜBS network was thoroughly sponsored for m<>st of the 26 weeks of its first season, it will be back on the air at the same length next fall, and the first sponsor for the new season already is in camp. Only four, sponsors will be accepted next season. “Omnibus,” of course, is that rarity in television. It isn’t’ supposed to make money becausd of its Foundation origin. So, breaking eve for this show is like another a big profit. “Speaking commercially, I think it important that we brought to television four sponsors during our first season who had not used the medium before,” said ’Robert Saudek, director of the workshop. “Also these sponsors renewed for the second period of the season.” Saudek said that Alistair Cooks, "the will return ijext fall as the easy-going master of ceremonies. The time, however, will be from 5 to 6:30 p.m. Sunday instead of 4:30 to 6. “We intend to increase the number of directors next season,” Saudek said. “Instead of one basic director, with a guest director now and then, we will have two regulars. Who will <nspfrog every other show in addition to guests. • “This is on thd\theory that TV direction has now' reached a point of virtuosity such as has prevailed all along, in the acting and writing ends. This method can give us more of a change of pace.” Saudek said it still is the program’s idea to present varied subjects and talents that might be picked up hy outside interests and developed* in TV shows on their Say It With FLOWERS j From
