Description:
Hollywood Studio Magazine was published out of the San Fernando Valley in various iterations (and various titles) from 1966 until 1992. What started as a local organ aimed at the workers of Hollywood ended as a nostalgic fan magazine about Hollywood Then and Now. The various title changes and revisions to its mission reflect not just the economic realities of magazine publishing, but a changing relationship to Hollywood and the industry itself. The earliest issues of Studio Magazine read like a house organ of a steady, entrenched industry documenting the comings and goings and notable events of the San Fernando Valley, with special emphasis on Universal. Fandom first became part of the discourse of the magazine through collecting. The Collectors’ Column page beginning in the early 1970s allowed memorabilia collectors to advertise their wares to each other. In 1983, the founder of the magazine, Dorothy Denny gave over the reins to Ralph Benner, the founder of Tiger Beat. This marks the clear separation between the original publication and its focus on Hollywood production culture and the move toward a publication centered on star narratives and fan culture. In covering the two and a half decades from the collapse of the system to the point where classical movie stars were phantoms instead of living people, the magazine offers insight into the transformation of old Hollywood from a lived reality to a memory to a myth.

Unfortunately, the FCC backed down. Small cable systems (3500 subscribers) may not have to originate anything, depending on cause. Bigger systems — 10,000 or more — may. At this juncture, there's no firm ruling. Meanwhile, sales organizations for programming aimed at CATV are popping up everywhere. NTC, Hollywood-based CATV marketing and service organization headed by ABC Radio veteran Jack Mann, has already made solid inroads into local origination with Cable TV Bingo, which it owns, along with Telemats, a library of animated open-end commercials for cable operators. TV Cinema Sales, a new company, has leaped into the arena with the rights to 3000 programs aimed at CATV and videocassettes, assuming that market develops. Meanwhile, cable system owners are still beating the bushes, looking for telecasting equipment that will serve their needs and fit their budgets, and professional production people who will work for peanuts. What's worse, it's a rare cable system that knows what a broadcast studio is, how to build one, and what to do with it after it's built. Show business people are growing used to hyphenates, but CATV threatens to come up with some new ones — engineer-producer, salesman-director, projector-announcer. That should shake the unions up a little. Bright Note ■ The irrepressible Sara Salzer, longtime western editor of Seventeen Magazines, is the newly-appointed executive editor of "Reach Out", a youth newspaper of the air tv series which is slated to go into production some time this month. According to Sara, the series is an extension of Al Burton's Youth Marketing Inc., which also produces the annual Teen-Age Fair, and will be aimed at the 18-24 year old market, a segment of the tv viewing audience which nobody thus far has been able to capture for sure. Meantime, Editor Salzar will continue to serve Seventeen as a consultant, while helping to format (and probably cast) "Reach Out..."

Walter Glover, chief of security for Warner Bros, for the past 35 years, will be in charge. Not only has he handled security for Warners all that time, he also has a total 6
