COYOTES TO FEATURE NEW CAMERA ANGLE FOR SATURDAY'S BROADCAST

          The Coyotes will forego the "traditional game [TV]
     camera that provides a distant, but panoramic view," and
     instead use three "robotic cameras mounted two feet above
     the glass" for the TV production of their game Saturday
     night against the Blackhawks on KASW-WB, according to Tim
     Tyers of the ARIZONA REPUBLIC.  The cameras will be mounted
     at mid-ice and at each end of the ice.  Team VP/Broadcasting
     Mark Hulsey: "The complaints we often get about televised
     hockey is that the game camera is so far way, it's difficult
     to follow the puck. ... If all goes well, we might be able
     to capture the speed and grace of the game that you can't
     capture with a regular game camera.  Viewers will see the
     players coming right at them."  While ice-level cameras have
     been used before, Hulsey said Saturday's telecast will mark
     the first time an entire game will be seen at ice level. 
     Fans will be able offer their opinion of the telecast by
     voting on the team's Web site or by calling special phone
     numbers.  Results will be given each time the telecast
     returns from a commercial (ARIZONA REPUBLIC, 11/17). 
          ENHANCED EXPERIENCE: NEWSDAY's Rita Ciolli examined
     "Enhanced TV," the "heavily promoted experiment in
     interactive entertainment" by Disney, ABC/ESPN and Infoseek. 
     The feature is available during ESPN's Sunday night NFL
     telecasts and on ABC's "MNF."  The "early sense from very
     positive user surveys is that [Enhanced TV] can work and
     have wide appeal."  The "plan is to expand and customize it
     to all types of live ABC programming" (NEWSDAY, 11/17).
