V7l Hcbrsa havs a public radio tysJm?
That is the queicn forwarded to the Kzbiz&z
Legidature and Cor. J. James Exca by the Nebraska Edu
cational Tclevia Ccnunirion. At an Aug. 18 meeting
the consnlsdosers voted 6 to 3 in favor of a public radio
system.
The vote followed two years of discussion.
V. Boyd Rooney, UNL television operations assistant
general raaneer, said the proposal calls for construction
costing $1,315,523. The state's share would be 03,670.
Federal matching funds would contribute the remaining
$91153. ......
The plan caUx for five studios and nine raUk towers.
Studios wouU be at Lincoln and Kearney S&te, Chadron
State, Wayne State and Pens State Colleges. Towers would
be ETV towers already in operation, except in Omaha and
near Pawnee City. A tower is planned for a site near
Pawnee Gty, whiSs KYNE's tower would not be used in
the public radio system. Towers are in Mead, Lexington,
Alliance, I&rfcSc, Hayings, North Ilatte, Merrimaa and
Bassett.
Towers already ex!3
"One of the attractive features of the proposal is that
the towers and buildings for the system already exct,"
Rooney sail. The foundation for interconnection alio is
there
State approval must precede federal approval, Rooney
said. State law must be changed to aSow ETV to operate
radio, and state funds must be approved for Federal Com
munications Commission (FCC) licensing.
TIth the increased FCC workload in the last couple of
yean, it is impossible to teS when licensing could be
approved." Rooney said. A wild guess is that operations
couil begin within two years of legislative approval.
lYogramming would be divided into state, national and
regional levels. It would be devoted "hzzr2f to the arts,
education and public affairs, he said.
Gi!mere seppcrts concept -
Alvin Gilmore, NETV commissioner from Omaha, said
he supports the public radio concept.
it would be a very positive influence, especially for
the underprivileged and handicapped people who might
not beabbtof;otoseaccncert,"CiL-r.creiiii.
The NU Board of Regents has come out against public
radio and instructed its representative to the commission,
Steven Szsp!e, NU vice president for academic affairs, to
vote against the proposals at the conuniason's Aug. 18
meeting.
