CBS-TV plans daily 30-minute news show
CBS-TV will telecast a half-hour fiveevenings-per-week news program beginning next fall.
The announcement was made last week by James T. Aubrey Jr., CBS-TV president, a week after the subject was brought up at the regular fall meeting of the CBS Television Network Affiliates Board in Palm Springs, Calif. (Broadcasting, Dec. 10).
The new show will replace the current 15-minute evening news program on CBS-TV. Though no time period was mentioned, it's believed CBS-TV might be considering the 7-7:30 p.m. time period.
CBS News President Richard S. Salant noted the decision to expand the news service came after months of study and responds to both the obvious increase in news flow and complexity as well as to requests of the tv audience.

MGM-TV single prices
Metro Goldwyn Mayer Television will provide prices on individual feature films made available for sale to tv stations.
Richard A. Harper, MGM-TV director of feature and syndicated sales, last week said MGM-TV has had a policy of making features available to stations on an individual basis for some time, but explained that the submission of individual price lists to stations constitutes a new procedure.
Other subjects discussed at a sales meeting: the marketing of a new list of 30 post-48 MGM features to be released to stations in January 1963, and
plans to license pre1948 features, whose original licenses are to expire during 1963.
