Tv Stations There's an off-beat project in full swing in Providence, R.I., which will interest other stations. WJAR-TV and WPRO-TV have gotten together and publish, monthly, a program guide called "Merit." The bulletin gives a run ■ down on programs of special interest on the two stations, both local and network. It's designed to appeal to discriminating viewers. Ideas at work: • KRON-TV, San Francisco, stole a few sales bases during the world series. On the days of games played at Candlestick Park, the station invited about 100 agency men, clients and brokers to a studio party to watch the games on color sets and supplied giant pennants 66 and rooter caps, not to mention traditional baseball "snacks." • Milwaukee will see the news almost as it happens on WISN-TV. The station has set up its own film lab for quick processing of news film for on-the-air viewing. • WBTV, Charlotte, presents "Arthur Smith and the Crackerjacks" to a group of New York agency and advertising executives tomorrow, 23 October, at Basin Street East.
