OF EDUCATIONAL BROADCASTERS Representing non-commercial, educational AM, FM, and TV broadcasting stations, workshops, and production centers, owned and operated by colleges, universities, school systems, and public service agencies. • f AUGUST 1952 EDUCATIONAL TELEVISION BEFORE' THE FCC FIRST GRANTS FOR NONCOMMERCIAL EDUCATIONAL TV STATIONS The Federal Communications Commission has granted the first authorizations for non¬ commercial educational television stations* At press time there were six such grants: one at Manhattan, Kansas, and five in New York state* Action for grants at Manhattan, Albany, Buffalo and Rochester was taken on July 23 and 21*, while grants in Bingham-' ton and New York City were finalized on August ll*. Kansas State College First in Line The initial construction permit went to the Kansas State College of Agriculture and Applied Science at Manhattan to operate on Channel 8 with effective radiated power of 17*2 dbk ($2 kw),visual and li*.2 dbk (26 kw) aural, antenna height 1£0 feet above average terrain; engineering conditions (BPET-1). In granting this application, the Commission adopted a Memorandum Opinion which reads in part: "It appears • • • that the applicant is a land grant college controlled by the State Board of Regents; that Hie Board has authorized the filing of the application; but that funds for construction of the station will require legislative action. In granting this application, the Commission has aken cognizance of the fact that state educational institutions and governing bodies in many instances are required to ob¬ tain 'legislative appropriations in order to carry out their educational television programs* ' "In view of the considerations set out in our Sixth Report and Order (FCC 52-29U), which led to a reservation of certain assignments for noncommercial educational sta¬ tions, including that just outlined above, we have made a grant in this case despite the fact that additional legislative action appears to be required in order for the applicant to secure the recessary funds* This action in no way affects or changes our established policies with respect to the finanacial showing required in connection with applications other than those for reserved noncommercial educational channels." #***#*.#**##* #*##«*#**#’*#■**##**•#/#•#* *.*.#*:* THE NAEB ANNUAL CONVENTION WILL BE HELD IN.
