RIDE ON FLORIDA'S ROADS? Once again WCKT's news teams stepped out in their 7league boots, getting firsthand facts and film from one end of the country to the other, to present a comprehensive, responsible, analysis of Florida's complicated and sometimes confused highway and road programs. The resulting half-hour documentary, THE BATTLE AT HIGHWAY PASS, brings the whole Florida road picture into sharp focus this month. Camera 7 crews journeyed clear to California to study the freeways-vs-toll roads controversy, visiting Los Angeles and San Diego, and interviewing Gov. Brown. They went to Washington, D.C. and put sound cameras in front of the nation's road planners and controllers. They extensively traveled the highways and byways of Florida itself, investigating charges of poor planning, revealing the good and bad of Florida's present road system. Never before have South Floridians had the advantage of such mature, searching insight into one of their most vital problems. Another example of television citizenship with showmanship . . . typical of WCKT's dynamic New Force Journalism! Dont you ivish you lived in South Florida so you could watch WCKT too?
