Ensuring Safe Sex: MTV and Fox claimed it was too risque to run, but the producer of a local cable-TV community access news magazine plans to utilize a safe-sex public-service announcement made by AIDS Project Los Angeles. Denise Diamond, whose “Diamond Time News” appears on Century Cable (Tuesdays at 11 p.m.) and Continental Cablevision (Wednesdays at 9:30 p.m.), is focusing her program this week on the failure of the networks to accept paid advertisements for condoms as well as public-service spots that encourage condom use. She said she plans to use the AIDS Project announcement during the program.
