COMMENTS: The Great White Way
CBS is the network that airs the Tony Awards so it may have had the inside track on the Spider-Man story. Dana Tyler, anchor of WCBS-TV in New York City, claimed a scoop with her profile of Christopher Tierney, the stunt man who plummeted 30 feet into the pit of a theater because of a harness error in previews for Turn off the Dark. Yet there is no evidence that CBS is giving the show special treatment: all three newscasts are covering its snafus--indeed CBS and NBC (but not ABC) cover Broadway as a whole roughly the same amount--Antoinette Perry or no Antoinette Perry.
