First Pay TV Said Failure, Meters Needed Bartlesville, Okla. 0P The nation's first pay tele vision system has failed to make money and wil be sus pended June 6 pending de velopment of some means to charge by program instead of a flat monthly fee, the presi dent of the firm announced yesterday. Nearly 800 persons are sub scribing to the $4.95 a month entertainment known as Tele movies, which began last Sep tember, but, Henry S. Grif fing; president of Video In dependent Theaters, said the system has continued to lose money. "The concept of a package of pictures for a fixed month ly ch'arge is wrong," Griffing said in a statement released at his office in Oklahoma City. "Subcribers must be charged by the picture, using a metering device either a coin box or a monitoring system that will register the programs viewed in each home. No adequate meter is now available in quantity for delivery." Griffing also said his sys tem suffered because of the '"hundreds of movies shown fret on television." He said the pay-TV concept must be broadened to include other types of programs such as sports, educational and artis tic presentations. Manufacturers Receive Charges Newark, N.Y.
