By DIANE BARTLEY UIET little WZTV-Channel Iqf 17, the independent station that earlier this year announced it would use "guerrilla warfare" to fight its competition, is on the move and may even pitch camp on enemy territory. The station's cramped offices at 38th Avenue N. are no longer adequate for the rapidly growing staff, and Channel 17 yesterday announced plans to relocate half its workers to MetroCenter's Trade Mark Square II building, former home of Nashville! magazine.

For months, WZTV and its owner MultiMedia, Inc., have been negotiating with WSMV and Gillett Broadcasting to lease antenna space on Channel 4's higher tower. Included in the negotiations, Warner said, are first refusal rights to five acres of Gil-lett-owned land adjacent to Channel 4's offices on Knob Hiil. "Of course, even if we decide to attach to their tower, we might not make that choice to buy the WSMV land," Warner said. WZTV general manager Robert Zelle said the station s negotiations with WSMV are based on a desire to "reach more homes in OUT Vfeoing area" by increasing y Move f Territory i the height of the station's antenna. "CURRENTLY RCA is conducting a study to determine the feasibility of such a move," Zelle said. "And we are negotiating with Gillett Broadcasting of Tennessee regarding the details of such an arrangement. This, of course, is only one of several locations where we might achieve our objectives." George Gillett, chairman of the Gillett Group, confirmed the possibility of a land sale to WZTV. "With the equipment for backup, I don't think it would be a bad idea to have two television stations in close proximity," he said. Gillett said Gillett Broadcasting of Tennessee, Inc. owns 117 acres of land at its West Nashville location. Until the new Channel 17 offices are constructed at WSMV's Knob Hill or another site the station's staff will be divided between the MetroCenter building (administrative and sales) and the current 38th Avenue N. headquarters (promotion and production).
