MEDIA NOTES

          "The Karl Malone Show" is back on the air on Salt Lake
     City's KALL-AM.  The station had been airing the program
     until Malone's agent, Dwight Manley, requested that Malone
     be paid by the station.  KALL Sports Dir Brad Stone: "I
     don't know the details, but Jacor (the owners of the
     station) and Malone have come to financial terms" (DESERET
     NEWS, 11/19)....Fox Sports will air weekend coverage of the
     World Series of Golf, the network's first pro golf event, on
     Saturday from 2:00-4:00pm ET/PT and Sunday from 4:30-6:30pm
     ET/PT (Fox)....Keith Olbermann told SI's Steve Rushin that
     the "pacing" of "Fox Sports News" is "different" from ESPN's
     "SportsCenter."  Olbermann: "The Fox shows are a roller
     coaster and tend to make SportsCenter look like The NewsHour
     with Jim Lehrer" (SI, 11/23 issue)....SPEEDNET's Bill Koenig
     examines the prospects for the IRL's new TV deal.  If the
     IRL were to ink a TV deal with Fox, it "would mean relying
     on Fox Sports Net, a collection of regional sports networks
     with some national programming, for some races, including
     the IRL's night races."  On a possible deal with NBC, Koenig
     adds that IRL execs "have said privately they have some
     doubts about" putting races on CNBC and MSNBC (SPEEDNET,
     11/20)....Raycom Sports' newest program is "not about
     sports," as the Charlotte-based TV programmer "plans to
     launch a new show next year aimed at reporting on and
     finding missing children" (CHARLOTTE OBSERVER, 11/20).
