CHANNEL 2 NEWS EDGES INTO NO.1 SPOT IN RATING-POINTS GAME

TV found a charismatic combination in the older man and younger woman anchor team of Rolland Smith and Michelle Marsh on the 11 o'clock news? Is the relentless cheerleading of recently recruited sportscaster Warner Wolf the explanation? Are viewers simply tired of the chattier, more personality-oriented format of WABC-TV's ''Eyewitness News''? Whatever the reasons, WCBS (Channel 2) has edged into first place in the audience ratings for both its 6 P.M. and 11 P.M. news broadcasts, taking the lead away from WABC (Channel 7), whose newscasts had long dominated in the news ratings. WNBC's news programs (Channel 4) continue to run third. At 6 P.M., WCBS has taken the lead despite relatively poor ratings for the program broadcast just before the news - the John Davidson show. At 11 P.M., when the size of the audience is much greater than at 6 P.M., WCBS led WABC in December by about half a rating point, according to one rating service (A.C. Nielsen), and by more than two points according to the other (Arbitron). In a market where each rating point is estimated to be worth about $1 million in annual revenues, small ratings differences are significant.

Steven Roberts
A conservative coalition of Republicans and Sun Belt Democrats that could well dominate the House of Representatives, particularly on economic and military issues, is starting to emerge on Capitol Hill. If the budding alliance flourishes over the next two years, it would make it much easier for President-elect Ronald Reagan to move his legislative program through Congress. As a result of last November's election, the Republicans already hold a six-vote edge in the Senate, the first time they have controlled either chamber in 26 years.
