VOL. 31, NO. 7 WASHINGTON, D.C. JULY, 1966 Uberto Neely Dies Uberto T. Neely, 65, an ETV pioneer, died May 28 at his home in Cincinnati. He was general manager of WCET. He was instrumental in the formation of the station, which went on the air in July, 1954, as the sixth ETV station in the United States, and in 1955 received the first license issued to a noncommercial TV station from the FCC. During the 12 years “Bert” headed WCET, the station received national recog¬ nition for the more than 350 programs it produced for distribution through NET and MPATI. WCET pioneered in instruc¬ tional TV—presenting one 15-minute in¬ school program a week in 1954. Now WCET serves over 12,000 classrooms with 30 hours a week. The station also carries over 25 hours of community programing a week. Before WCET, Mr. Neely was associated with the Crosley stations in Cincinnati for 26 years, as violinist, conductor, arranger, and composer. For a number of years he also performed with the Cincinnati Sym¬ phony Orchestra. As an educator, in 1937 he founded the radio-TV arts department of the Cincinnati College of Music.
