Economics Of The Midwest Program
Tit
rJ.ANY questions have been asked about the )St of the Midwest Program on Airborne Telesion Instruction. We will discuss here two
Titpects of the economics of the program: (1) le relative costs of an airborne facility as com
jjjired to the costs of a ground-based facility )vering the same area; (2) the budget for the
Til:perimental phase covering the period from the Jl of 1959 through May, 1962. It should be said at the outset that the Mid
est Council believes that, in the immediate
iture of instructional television generally, the aestion is not whether ground-based or airborne ,ansmission should be used. Rather, the growing 'nportance of television as an instructional |edium is such that all possible types of facilities jUl be required to do the job ahead. In the early
stages of planning for this regional program in education, comparative estimates were obtained for airborne and ground-based facihties. Since these estimates indicate that the airborne method would be less expensive for telecasting to a region of this size, airborne transmission appeared sufficiently promising to warrant demonstration throu^ a large-scale project. For this reason the council decided to pursue the airborne project.
The program has now progressed far enough that other questions about its costs can be answered with a reasonable degree of assurance. Although there are of course still some cost figures that are not firm, and although all cost matters are necessarily subject to continuing study, the council can now speak with con
our-engine aircraft to be used in the program, with its ^-ft. sending antenna.
