          TV MONITOR: Last night's 11:00pm ET editions of
     CNN/SI's "Sports Tonight," FSN's "Primetime" and ESPN's
     "SportsCenter" (at 11:10pm ET due to college basketball) all
     led with the firing of Cowboys coach Chan Gailey.  "Sports
     Tonight" followed with Carlton Fisk and Tony Perez being
     elected to the Baseball HOF, "Primetime" followed with Heat-
     T'Wolves and "SportsCenter" followed with Redskins G Tre
     Johnson being fined for hitting a referee during Saturday's
     Lions-Redskins playoff game (THE DAILY). 
          CORPORATE SYNERGY AT WORK: On last night's "NBA on
     TNT," Ernie Johnson opened by saying, "With Monday's AOL-
     Time Warner merger, our new greeting will simply be,
     'Welcome, you've got mail'" ("NBA on TNT," 1/11).
          BEEFORTH TO MOVE ON? In Toronto, William Houston
     reports that "sources are predicting a blockbuster move" in
     Canadian sports TV that would see CTV VP Doug Beeforth "jump
     to rival CBC to head up its Olympic production team."  
     Houston notes that Beeforth "offered something less than a
     firm denial to the ... speculation" (GLOBE & MAIL, 1/12).
