IMPROVING REGIONAL TV BROADCASTS AMONG DRYDEN'S FIRST QUESTS

          Maple Leafs President Ken Dryden "is unhappy with the
     quality" of Leafs' TV and radio broadcasts "and is doing
     something about it," according to Ken McKee of the TORONTO
     STAR.  Dryden named his assistant, Bill Watters, to head a
     new broadcast committee, and will "challenge producers of
     the regional broadcasts" to seek ways to improve coverage.
     While Dryden "accepts" that Molstar, the production company
     for Global and Hamilton's ONtv, has less money to spend than
     CBC's Hockey Night in Canada, he says "there is no reason a
     lower-budget program should appear low budget."  Dryden, who
     likes "the precociousness" of Fox's coverage, is seeking to
     attract a younger audience and wants more experimentation
     with camera angles, including testing an aerial camera that
     moves alongside play (TORONTO STAR, 8/22).
