v The Battalion NTERTfllMMENT Phil Hartman remembered in ‘NewsRadio’ season premiere PASADENA, Calif. (AP)—The character played by the late Phil Hartman will be mourned in this fall's first episode of the TV comedy "NewsRadio." Hartman, who was shot to death by his wife, Brynn, in a murder-suicide in May, played pompous radio anchor man Bill McNeal in the NBC sitcom. When the show returns for its fourth season, the other characters will learn that McNeal has died of a heart attack and will hold a memorial service for him, NBC program ming head Warren Littlefield said Sunday. "Knowing this ('NewsRadio') group, it will be enter taining, it will be irreverent, but it will also be filled with a lot of the emotions they have over the loss of Phil Hartman," Littlefield said. The second episode will introduce Jon Lovitz as the an chorman replacing McNeal. The series returns Sept. 23. Lovitz, a friend of Hartman, was said to have been re luctant about taking the role, but Hartman's mother gave Lovitz her blessing at a recent memorial service for her son, Littlefield said. "I could see Jon just relax and feel even more comfort able with the decision to go into the show," Littlefield said. Lovitz was a cast member of "Saturday Night Live" with Hartman.

Starring Antonio Banderas, An thony Hopkins and Catherine Zeta-Jones, Zorro made $22.7 mil lion to lead the box office, getting a push from the best reviews since The Truman Show. Something About Mary, starring Ben Stiller, Matt Dillon and Cameron Diaz opened in fourth place with $13 million. From the Farrelly brothers, it opened better than their last effort. Kingpin in 1996, but didn't debut as well as their biggest hit. Dumb & Dumber in 1994.

(AP) — A merger seems in evitable for NBC, network programming chief War ren Littlefield said Sunday. "It seems today that, more than anything, size does matter," Littlefield told the Television Crit ics Association annual summer meeting. "Some of the possibilities that have been discussed are quite exciting." Last week, the Los Angeles Times reported that NBC and USA Networks Inc. were in merger discus sions that fell apart when a major USA stockholder, Edgar Bronfman jr., balked at the idea. In the past year, exploratory merger talks have been held by GE with Sony, Viacom and Liberty Me dia, the Times said. A 1996 law deregulating the telecommunications and media industries fueled an unprecedented wave of mergers. They include Disney's acquisition of ABC, Westinghouse buying CBS and Infinity Broadcasting^ and Time Warner merging with Turner Broadcasting! "Bob and Jack have been very consistent in say ing we need partners," Littlefield said, referring to NBC chair Robert Wright and John F. Welch Jr., chair of NBC parent company General Electric. "When you deal with a guy like jack Welch, he looks at the performance and says 'I wonder if you can do better,"' Littlefield, who noted that NBC will be the only broadcast network showing a profit in 1 998, said.
