The State - News from Jan. 10, 1986

State Lottery Director Mark Michalko said he has reached agreement that production of the lottery’s “Big Spin” grand prize awards television program will move from Hollywood to Sacramento, but he still has no guarantee that the show will stay on the air. An 11-station consortium has been producing and broadcasting the show statewide under a year-long contract, but Michalko said he has a definite commitment from only one of the stations, KOVR in Sacramento, to broadcast the show, scheduled for 7 p.m. Saturday. He said two of the stations, KABC in Los Angeles and KGO in San Francisco--the state’s largest television markets--have argued that the contract is not binding.
