Odd Hour Newscasts Draw Night Owls and Second-Shift Workers
In New York NBC News President Reuven Frank notes overnight viewers include nursing mothers and late diners. CBS Nightwatch attracts about 920,000 homes nightly, roughly one percent of TV households, with LA and Philadelphia showing higher rates. Nielsen faces limits in overnight measurement and relies on viewer letters and Trendex data. Second-shift workers such as factory staff, pilots, and police constitute a large portion of the audience.

Senate to vote on repeal of withholding tax in jobs bill
The Senate moves toward two showdown votes over an amendment to repeal the withholding tax on interest and dividends as part of a 5.1 billion jobs bill. Backers claim they have the votes while President Reagan vows a veto if the provision remains. If Kasten wins, a filibuster by Dole could delay action by two to three days. A rally of about 2,000 urged Congress to fund jobs and oppose war.
