Networks Cut Golf Coverage In 1971 TV Plan Shakeup
AP dispatch reports networks trimming golf coverage due to tight money and waning interest while others expect steady or increased telecast of PGA Tour events in 1971. ABC claims ratings up 34 percent through May with a record audience for the Andy Williams Open. CBS and NBC note stabilization and costly production, with reductions tied to ad revenue losses from cigarette sponsors and Shell dropping the Shell Wonderful World of Golf.
