Tower Slated At Brinkleyville The University of North Carolina Center for Public Television has received a permit to construct a television transmission tower, designated as Channel 36, from the Federal Communications Commission yesterday. Negotiations for the transmission tower, located in Brinkleyville, began in 1981. Construction of the site could not begin prior to receipt of the permit, according to Bill Mclvery, supervisor of telecommunications at the center. The design and planning of the transmission site is nearing completion, and construction bids will be solicited in the very near future, Mclver said. Completion of the site is expected by summer 1985. The 1,100-foot television transmission tower . will provide ^overage to Edgecqmbe,' Franklin, Northampton, Halifax, Nash, Vance, Warren and Wilson counties. "Although some areas within these counties receive marginal signals from one of the center's stations, the Brinkleyville transmission site will improve reception in those areas while providing first service to previously unserved areas," Mclver said. "The transmitter has been manufactured and is in storage pending construction of the building," he continued. "Our goal is to provide the quality of public television programming to more areas of the state," Mclver concluded.
