PORTLAND TO STICK BY SEAHAWKS ... UNLESS SOMEONE GETS HOTTER

          The NFL has ruled that Portland, OR, "is not in the
     Seattle market," meaning that KOIN-TV, the Portland CBS
     affil, "can choose any game on a given Sunday," according to
     John Hunt of the Portland OREGONIAN.  But the station has
     decided to show the Seahawks.  KOIN News Dir Kerry Oslund:
     "We will go with what's hot, too, and the best of all worlds
     is that the Seahawks will be hot."  Hunt wrote that the
     "discernible difference" between KOIN's AFC coverage and
     NBC's KGW-TV will be that KOIN will promote the Seahawks
     "more heavily," including "Seahawks Saturday," an in-house
     production, which will air weekly (OREGONIAN, 8/28).
