They said it couldn't be done (They may be right.) T^een-age television at seven a.m.? In Houston ? With news ... sports .. . music . . . reports ... of a kind important to young people? And panel discussions? LIVE? It's enough to give a program manager insomnia : Every dawn a new problem, breakfast practically a midday meal, and Studio A full of teen-age egos five mornings a week. That's what the Corinthian station in Houston has brought about with the new half-hour Ginny Pace Show. Object: To serve an important segment of the communityteen-agers, some 200,000 of whom live within tv sight of KHOU-TV— and many parents, eager to share in the interests of their off spring. Developed with the blessings of the Superintendent of Schools and the encouragement of PTA's, the Ginny Pace wake-up ^ show may also awaken others in the industry to the potential of early-morning local tv. ^ The perils need not be spelled out.
