Networks Change Topkicks: ABC elected Oliver E. Treyz pres, of the ABC-TV network this week, promoted from v.p. in charge of TV network, his job paralleling that of Robert E. Eastman, pres, in charge of the American Broadcasting Co. Radio Network Inc. It was just 10 years ago that the 40-year-old Treyz joined ABC as a “presentations writer,” rising to director of ABC Radio in 1954, quitting in 1955 to found and become pres, of new Television Bureau of Advertising, returning to ABC-TV as v.p. in Oct. 1956.
This week, too, NBC announced changes in its setup that will lead eventually to similar separations of TV and radio operations — naming 50year-old P. A. (Buddy) Sugg, exec. v.p. of Daily Oklahoman’s WKY Television System Inc. as head of NBC-owned stations and of Spot Sales Div. as of April 1, reporting directly to pres. Robert W. Sarnoff. He’s slated to be elected an NBC v.p. for the 2 jobs at March 7 board meeting, presumably also will be elected to one of the 2 board vacancies created by the recent death of v.p. Emanuel Sacks and the April 1 promotion of v.p. Charles R. Denny to RCA v.p. (Vol. 14:7).
Sugg takes over Denny’s chief administrative jobs, except that California National Productions Inc. and NBC International henceforth will report to J. M. Clifford, exec, v.p. for administration; and TV facilities, with Charles Colledge as v.p., henceforth reports to Robert E. Kintner, whose title now is exec. v.p. for TV network. Tom McFadden, heretofore v.p. in charge of owned stations and spot sales, will report to Sugg, absorbing duties of John H. Reber, director, siwt sales, who has resigned.
The popular “Buddy” Sugg, long active in industry affairs, turns over his post as exec. v.p. & mgr. of WTVT, Tampa (Ch. 13) to Eugene B. Dodson, who leaves general managership of WSFA-TV, Montgomery (Ch. 12) which he in turn will relinquish to his sales mgr.. Carter Hardwick. Third TV outlet of the Oklahoman group, WKY-TV, Oklahoma City (Ch. 4), and radio WKY continue under management of Raymond W. Welpott, who succeeded Sugg when he went to Tampa.
Sugg has been directing head of all 3 stations, having founded the Oklahoma City TV in 1949 for the Gaylords and having engineered the acquisitions of the Montgomery & Tampa outlets.
New job marks return of Sugg to NBC employ, for he started with old KPO, San Francisco, as a control engineer in 1929, qualifying with his ship’s operator ticket. He rose to NBC supervisor of engineering before taking leave in 1940 to rejoin Navy as a lieut. j.g. He was on the U.S.S. California in Pearl Harbor when it was sunk by the Japanese, later served under Admirals Kimmel, Pye and Nimitz, successively, first establishing the Pacific Fleet Radar School at Pearl Harbor, then being assigned to Bureau of Aeronautics at MIT, then to staff of chief of Naval Air Technical Command. Later he was named commanding officer. Naval Air Technical Training School, Corpus Christ! (airborne radar). He was released from the service in 1945 with rank of captain, 12 ribbons.
“Do you own a TV set?” may be dropped from the 1960 census because. Census Bui'eau says, TV saturation may be close to 100% by that time. Radio and refrigerator ownership are almost certain to be drojipcd, replaced by air conditioners and home freezers.
