We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.
Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.
Word has just been received from Henry Cassirer, from the Paris UNESCO office, that the UNESCO ETV Seminar, scheduled for Mexico City, Oct. lU - Nov. 10 has been postponed until the first semester of 1964. NAEB had been requested to gather suitable film materials for use in the lectures. FCC ACTIONS The Commission (July 30) granted the petition of the Board of Education of the City of Atlanta to reserve a second UHF channel for educational television in that city by shifting Ch. 57 from Marietta, Ga. to Atlanta and reserving it for non-com¬ mercial use. Petitioner, which now operates WABE-FM said WETV, Ch. 30, asserted that one ETV channel in Atlanta, with projected enrollment increases of 31$ and 21$ by 1970 for secondary and elementary schools, cannot provide sufficient program offerings at desirable times for elementary and secondary school service, in-service training and research, and adult programs. The second channel is to be used primarily for high school courses for credit. Atlanta will beccmethe sixth city to acquire multiple ETV facilities. NAEB OPPOSES DELETION OF CHANNEL 48 On August 26, NAEB, through its general counsel, Cohn and Marks, filed a petition in opposition to a request by Chapman Radio & TV Co. requesting deletion of the reservation for non-commercial use of Ch. 48, Birmingham. Comment cited NAEB "Survey of the Needs of Education for TV Channel Allocations," which pointed out that long range needs for ETV will require more than one outlet in many cities and specifically urged retention of Channel 48 so that educational authorities, while not having to apply for it at the present time, would have it available in the future for the completion of their State-wide ETV system. DALTON LEAVES NCTA William Dalton, who has served as President of the National Community TV Association, Inc., since January, 1961, has resigned as of September 30. Dalton was primarily responsible for the push to involve his members in extending services of ETV stations in communities CATV operators serve. He established ETV Policy Council, scheduled educators to speak at national and regional conferences, and appointed Loren Stone (KCTS-TV) as a consultant on educational application of Community TV antenna systems. NCTA published two reports re ETV; "Guidelines Concerning the Responsibilities of the CATV Industry in Education" and "ETV and the Role of CATV." Of the CATV systems now able to receive ETV stations, 90$ are providing extended coverage. Signals come from 23 ETV stations and MPATI. In a recent letter to Chairman Henry, Dalton said that ETV would be available in the near future to "an additional 40,000 homes, 174 elementary and high schools, and nine colleges" through the facilities of 27 NCTA operators presently installing facilities to pick up ETV signals.
