PENNSYLVANIA PETITION FILED BY DEPT. OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION It was erroneously reported in the Washington Report for March 15 (Vol IV, No. 5) that a petition seeking the addition of 1 VHP and 4 UKF channels for ETV use in Pennsylvania had been filed by the Pennsylvania ETV Network Study. Actually, this petition was filed at the request of, and on behalf of, the Pennsylvania Dept , of Public Instruction . The state ETV plan for Penn., framed by the Dept, of Public Instruction, is the result of ten years of local initiative, careful engineering, and educational surveys and studies. The Ford Fdn. supported, one-year ETV Network Study was of considerable help in formulating the overall state plan, but was not the sole force as the earlier story in the Washington Report might have indicated. TIME FOR FILING EXTENDED IN KANSAS DOCKET Die FCC has granted a petition by the State of Kansas Com. on Education of the Legislative Council, and extended from April 22 to June 24, time to file opposition to petition by Tulsa B/cg. Co., for reconsideration of Nov. 8 , 1962 Report & Order in Docket 13860 which assigned Ch. *8 to Hutchinson, Kans. FCC PROPOSES NEW UHF ETV CHANNELS FOR PUERTO RICO & VIRGIN ISLANDS FCC has announced proposed rule making to add following reserved UHF channels: Puerto Rico - Aquadila *33, Caguas *59, Fajardo *4l, Ponce *27, San Juan *75, Utuado *71; Virgin Islands - Charlotte Amalie *24, Christiansted *22. In the same action, the Commission proposes the addition of 19 non-reserved channels in Puerto Rico (deleting three already assigned) and four in the Virgin Islands. VINCENNES MV. ENTERS CATV FIELD Vincennes (Indiana) Univ. will construct and operate two community antenna systems (in Vincennes and Washington, Ind.) as a means of financing an ETV station. A consulting firm retained by the University two years ago to explore the economic feasibility oT operating a commercial UHF station (with a substantial portion of programming in ETV), recommended that while operation of a UHF station would be uneconomical, the University could enter the CATV field, since Vincennes area was suitable for such a development. The Uhiv. has petitioned FCC to reallocate Ch. 52 to Vincennes and reserve it for ETV. Ch. 52 was formerly assigned to Princeton, Ind., operated commercially for less than a year, and is now inoperative, and its equipment has been donated to the University.
