Original Toronto Star caption: It's tough getting to the top in big-time TV news, but it can be even tougher staying there. NBC's Jessica Savitch knows. And, she said here yesterday, being a woman doesn't help. Savitch holds down the anchor desk for NBC-TV's Saturday night newscast (which isn't seen in Toronto, however) and is big in the weekday news updates. She's made a good name for herself there. And you'd think NBC, being short on recognized stars the last year or two, would play safe with that. But a while back the network asked her to move to the early-morning Today Show and she balked. Getting up at 2 a.m. five days a week would wipe her out for covering big the sun shines.
