   COMMENTARY: XWP and HTLJ have ousted Star Trek:The Next
Generation from a plumb programming spot in New Orleans.  ST:TNG
had been playing every weeknight at 7pm for the past two years.
Ratings have plummeted, so WNOL will discontinue ST:TNG and show
HTLJ on Monday, XWP on Tuesday, WB programming on Wednesday,
ST:TNG on Thursday, and Tales of the Crypt on Friday.  ST:TNG
will also replace the HTLJ and XWP earliers time of 10am to noon
on Sunday.  This will all begin June 30, 1996.
