TELEVISION

More Ratings Fallout: Media executive Barry Diller has joined critics of the TV industry’s 3-month-old content-based TV ratings. In a speech Friday at the National Press Club in Washington, Diller, who owns 12 independent TV stations and the Home Shopping Network, said the system “does not work” and should be scrapped. He also rejected a proposed alternative ratings system that would provide more detailed information about shows’ content, saying that the number of programming entities--broadcast networks, local stations, cable channels and syndicators--would make uniformity “undoable.” Diller proposed an “e-chip” (for enable chip) that would allow TV sets to pick up only family-friendly shows. The industry has been working on a “v-chip” that would block certain violent shows.

Romantic Spoof: NBC star Tea Leoni, whose romance with “The X-Files’ ” David Duchovny has become major grist for the tabloids, will make fun of the situation in the May 14 edition of “The Naked Truth.” In the episode, Leoni’s character, who works for a tabloid, hears from a source that actor Duchovny is cheating on his unnamed girlfriend, described in the episode as “the skinny blond sitcom bimbo he is hot and heavy with.” When the story makes the front page of the sitcom’s tabloid, Duchovny’s lawyers take the paper to court. Duchovny is not scheduled to appear in the episode.

RADIO

Respite for KSCA Fans: Beginning today, KLSX-FM (“Real Radio” 97.1) will turn its entire weekend schedule over to the adult album alternative format formerly heard on KSCA-FM (101.9) before that station switched to Spanish-language music under a new owner. Among the deejays spinning KSCA-style music--including artists like Tori Amos, R.E.M., Melissa Ethridge, the Wallflowers, Shawn Colvin and Dave Matthews Band--will be former KSCA personalities Anita Gevinson and Julio Flores.

No Habla Espan~ol: Reversing the trend toward more Spanish outlets, the former KRTO-FM (98.3), which has been purchased by Cox Radio, became KPRO-FM, an English-language classic rhythm and blues station, at 12:01 a.m. today, simulcast with KACE-FM (103.9), another Cox station. How long the simulcast will last was not immediately known. Daniel Crowe, who was general manager at KRTO, maintained that the station’s yearlong format of Spanish-language pop rock had been successful, particularly among 18- to 34-year-olds. “It wasn’t that our format didn’t work,” Crowe said on Friday. “It was about buying a signal. You buy stations these days not on cash flow or ratings but on . . . the frequency.” Meanwhile, existing Spanish-language station KVAR-FM (97.5) altered its format on Monday, switching from a mix of contemporary and older hits to what it is calling “superstar” or contemporary hits radio. KRTO’s Crowe, noted that KVAR “took out ads” on the now-defunct KRTO for its new format.
