Broadcasting Telecasting (Jan-Mar 1953)

In Houston Serves! During 1952, KPRC-TV extended its services to encompass telecasts from early morning to midnight . . . more than 17 hours out of each 24 . . . more than 6250 hours on the air during the year. The Houston area's tremendous and constantly growing number of set-owners experienced every possible type of television entertainment in 1952 . . . plus well over 600 very important hours and well over 11,000 announcements devoted exclusively to community interests and public welfare. Literally hundreds of religious and educational institutions, agricultural, governmental, safety and civic organizations, and other groups wholeheartedly dedicated to the betterment of community living, participated in these public service programs. With the close cooperation of these groups and their individual workers, KPRC-TV has been able to express, in concrete terms, its desire to serve successfully the people of Houston and the Gulf Coast area. The owners, management and staff of KPRC-TV wish to offer their sincere appreciation to all of these participating groups, and to re-dedicate themselves to the service of the community.
