European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - December 28, 1989, Darmstadt, Hesse Television by Sarah Bottorff when you a during the broadcast of the second nil wildcard game sunday night you la know it s 1990. Thai s How they will note the arrival of the new year on military television. With apologies to do k Clark and the late Guy Lombardo Supe Stalion an and Southern european broadcasting have made their Choice. In something of an understatement an programming director Tom Baxter Calls this a dig football weekend and no one is going to interrupt an important football game to Cut to a scene of a clock striking Midnight. What this weekend boils Down to is some 30 hours of bowls that will decide College football s National champions plus two nil games that will help decide who goes to the super bowl. And yes it s True the Rose bowl and sugar bowl won t be shown live if at All because the armed forces radio and television service is not sending them live this is the Way it goes on both an and seb people in the United kingdom should subtract one hour from listed times Friday the Liberty bowl with the air Force is. Mississippi at 2 . Saturday the Holiday bowl with Penn state is. Brigham Young at 2 . And the Sun . Lohn Hancock bowl with Pittsburgh is. Texas am at 6 30 . New year s eve the Gator bowl with West Virginia is. Clemson at 2 . And no wildcard games at 6 30 and 10 . New year s Day the Copper bowl with North Carolina state is. Arizona at 2 . The Cotton bowl with Arkansas is. Tennessee at 7 30 . And the fiesta bowl with Nebraska is. Florida state at 10 30 . Tuesday the Orange bowl with notre Dame is. Colorado at 2 . The Rose bowl and sugar bowl Aren t on the schedule. The sugar bowl Alabama is. Miami conflicts with the Orange bowl and no one seems to be seriously complaining about missing it. But the afrt5 decision not to transmit the Rose bowl to military stations overseas has created something of a Flap among the stations and is Likely to cause some grumbling among the viewers. The Crux of she problem apparently is Abc which plans to make the Rose bowl Michigan is. Southern California run Long so that it will go on Well into the first Quarter of Abc s Orange bowl broadcast. Arts decided not to risk missing part of the Orange bowl and is sending Only a delayed broadcast of the Rose bowl along with the sugar bowl. Take heart though both seb and an will have the Rose bowl on radio live at 11 . New year s Day and the sugar bowl live at 2 . Tuesday. Seb notes that it will broadcast on 106 pm rather than 107 As it normally does because 106 reaches More potential listeners. So when will you actually get to see the two games an will show you the taped version of the sugar bowl at 6 30 . Tuesday and the Rose bowl sometime later not in prime time but at some time to be announced later. As for seb Here s the explanation from programming director Mike Mullen if Alabama beats Miami at the bowl and notre Dame beats Colorado at the Orange Bow then the Rose bowl will contain the National Champion Michigan and Well show the Rose bowl taped at 10 . Tuesday. We would replace the Rose bowl with the sugar bowl taped if notre Dame beats Colorado and Miami beats what happens if Colorado beats notre Dame Wilt they show the sugar bowl or the Rose bowl we won t show either one says Mullen. Got that that bit about the to la la to is probably a slightly exaggerated description from an on How you la hear about the new year. There is Likely to be a Bunch of numbers superimposed on the screen t Bunting the seconds until Midnight. Seb is Likely to run a Crawler across the Bottom of the screen wishing you a Happy new year. And to prove thl they Aren t slighting the new year an plans to squeeze in a taped version of Dick Clark s Holiday Bash sometime during the weekend and seb May join the Copper bowl in Progress so that it can show the Clark hour about an hour after Midnight after the last wildcard game. In the daytime meanwhile both plan to show the tournament of roses Parade starting at 5 . Get new year s Day.
