Description:
The official newsletter of the National Association of Educational Broadcasters (NAEB) -- the predecessor to NPR, PBS, the CPB. Led primarily by faculty and staff at large Midwestern universities, the NAEB envisioned uses of broadcasting to improve society and educate both children and adults. The newsletter chronicles the NAEB's activities in advocating to the FCC for educational stations to obtain greater access to the public airwaves, coordinating the distribution of educational recordings, and planning the production of ambitious programs, such as 'People Under Communism' and 'The Jeffersonian Heritage,' which starred Claude Rains as Thomas Jefferson. This newsletter was digitized as part of the 'Unlocking the Airwaves' project, a collaboration among the University of Maryland, University of Wisconsin-Madison, and Wisconsin Historical Society, with funding from the NEH. -- Stephanie Sapienza & Eric Hoyt, 2019.

Aug.21 fiBillboard) Lastchance fon educational institutions, to got into television broadcasting is soon now resting with the Federal Communications Commission's (FCC) September 20 hearing on. upstairs video. All but crowded out of the television field, educational institutions are expected then to push.vigor¬ ously for reservation of channels’ : in the upper band, With present channels approaching the saturation point,-it-appears certain: that saturation of spectrum space in the low band will find universities holding no more than six stations. Both FCC' and the Natiohal Association- of Educational Broadcasters (NAEB) are worried over failure of educational institutions to get aboard the TV bandwagon NAEB has cited the high cost of initiating and operating a TV station as the chief reason for the lag of the educators, ill. this important new field. Chairman Wayne Coy, of FCC has issued two separate invitations for educators to appear at next month’s hearing'and ..request -the-’ Commission; to- set aside channels for educa-^ tional outfits as has' been done in FM, ., V " ■ ; Only One Perm it So Far I ova. State is How the only college to hold a, video construction permit. It is set for Channel 4 in Amos. ■ Five other universities have bids in, with- throe, of them facing stiff.competition in hearings with commercial applicants. One - uncontested bidder, State University of Iowa, has to"get. FCC approval to switch Channel 11 to Iowa City. The only other uncontested college bidder, Cornell University, however, faces difficulty because.of .probable interference of the Ithaca frequency with WBEN-TV, operating in Buffalo on the same channel, and' with : ”.TTE, • which holds'a CF for channel 5 in Syracuse. Under both...present and proposed allocations, Ithaca is'left'without a TV .channel. In New Orleans, the bid of Loyola University has. been set for hearing, with two other applicants for the two remaining frequencies.. .St.Louis.University is in a scrap with four other bidders for four open frequencies in St, Louis, while Georgia Tech is in a three-way scrabble.for the lone open channel in Atlanta. i = HIGHLIGHTS IN THIS ISSUE jSTA STOP ' ORDER "STOPS".
