DITKA SIGNS WITH NEW ORLEANS FOX AFFIL FOR WEEKLY SHOWS

5.30.1997

          Saints Coach Mike Ditka has "changed his broadcasting
     allegiance," according to Carl DiOrio of the HOLLYWOOD
     REPORTER.  Ditka, who was with NBC Sports for several years, 
     has reportedly signed a three-show-a-week deal with New
     Orleans' Fox affil, WVUE-TV.  Two of the weekly shows will
     be rebroadcast on the Fox Sports Southwest RSN, and a source
     said that "talks are under way with a 'top' TV station in
     Chicago for a rebroadcast of one of the shows into that
     market."  Plans also call for a syndicated rebroadcast of
     the show once a week by "several regional stations" in the
     team's home market.  DiOrio notes that NBC's New Orleans
     affil had tried to sign Ditka (HOLLYWOOD REPORTER, 5/30).
