One of the superior productions through which creative talent and. community leadership are continually building new vision into Television on stations represented by BLAIR-TV "Besides bringing close-ups of life in distant parts of the world, one of television's great values lies in its power to give our viewers a penetrating first-hand look at conditions in our own areas. At WMCT a fundamental goal of our operation is to stimulate community progress in every possible way. So we regularly devote our entire program personnel and facilities to the painstaking development of presentations like "The Prisons: a Profile." Of course we are pleased when such programs arouse enthusiastic comment— but comment or no, we would still feel a definite obligation to keep our cameras regularly focused on topics so vital to the area we serve."
