TV & VIDEO - Nov. 15, 1988

Late TV flashes: Geraldo Rivera’s debut as a real-life chair target--and, also, his look into the hateful world of skinheadism and neo-Nazism--rang up some big Nielsen numbers in Los Angeles when it aired Friday on KCBS Channel 2: that particular “Geraldo” show was seen in more than 672,000 homes, attracting 33% of the available audience. The next biggest draw in the 4 p.m. time slot was KNBC Channel 4’s local news, which was seen in about 331,000 homes . . . And in KNBC’s political editor Linda Douglass may be heading back to KCBS, which she left in 1985. She is reportedly in new contract talks with KNBC and KCBS management simultaneously.
