THE SKED'S TV NEWS AND NOTES: Salt Lake City Tries To Shut Down NBC's "Playboy Club"

It's no big surprise that NBC's station in Salt Lake City (KSL, which is owned by the Mormon church) will not carry Playboy Club this fall.  Similarly, this station does not clear Saturday Night Live (either in the regular Saturday late night time period or in the occasional prime time specials time periods).  But fear not, just as SNL is aired "across the street" by an independent broadcast station in the SLC market, we are sure Playboy Club will follow the same pattern.  Look for other small Southern markets to follow the lead of KSL (markets like Tuscaloosa, Alabama, for example).  The NBC Affiliate Relations team will also probably find other stations in these markets to air the drama.
