Tuesday, November 25, 1975 The Daily Tar Heel 3 n 52 by Sam Fulwocd Staff Writer Three out of I0 North Carolina families watch state-supported public television, according to a recent survey conducted jointly by the UNC School of Journalism and the UNC-TV Network. Dr. Robert L. Stevenson, an assistant professor of journalism here, said the figures for overall public television viewing are slightly lower in North Carolina than in other states. However, he said weekly viewing patterns are similar to those in other states. The eight-station UNC-TV Network reaches 1 3 per cent of the North Carolina homes on a weekly basis, the survey showed. This compares similarly to results from surveys Stevenson conducted in Mississippi and South Dakota during July 1975. In South Dakota, 16 per cent of the households with televisions watched public television weekly, and the Mississippi figure was 15 per cent. The survey also showed that only 52 per cent of the North Carolina families were even aware of public broadcasting. The corresponding figures for South Dakota and Mississippi were each 65 per cent. Dale Rhodes, director of audience services for the network attributed the public ignorance of public television to reception Campus Today's Activities Attention, all true believers!

Six of the state's eight public stations are on UHF frequencies. Rhodes said viewers tend to be unaware of UHF channels. Some people "do not know they have a U H F tuner on their television," he said. Stevenson also noted that children's programs and cultural programs were most popular. The survey indicated that Sesame Street and Masterpiece Theatre were the most frequently watched programs broadcast by UNC-TV. Rhodes said the survey was designed to determine how many people watch public television in their homes. He said 40 percent of UNC-TV's programming is directed toward evening viewing, with daytime programming geared to educational and specialized programming. The survey results will be used to determine viewing patterns for the eight stations so that effective public information campaigns can be designed, Rhodes said. "We will do a market-by-market, county-by-county breakdown of this, and it will be helpful in spending what advertising money we have and deciding where we can allocate what resources we have," he said.

"Because the programs are so diversified, it requires pin-point accuracy to watch what you want to see," he said. The network's annual budget is about $2.3 million. Of that amount, approximately $200,000 comes from a grant by the semi public Corporation for Public Broadcasting. The remainder is appropriated by the North Carolina General Assembly. Only 55,000 is spent on advertising and promotion. The survey revealed that education is a major factor in the audience's public television awareness and viewing.

Phone numbers were dialed using a system to include unlisted and unpublished numbers.

The 15-20 per cent of North Carolina homes without telephones were excluded. "They (people without telephones) tend for the most part to be at the bottom end of the social-educational-economic spectrum and would be very unlikely to watch public television," Stevenson said. For that reason, he added, overall familiarity and viewing figures are probably somewhat high. Stevenson called the poll "as good a survey sample technique as reasonable competent professionals could provide." It has a 95 per cent chance of being accurate to within six percentage points, he said. Other Indian circle plans include researching the possibility of implementing a Native American Studies Program here, organizing an orientation program for new Indian students and developing an educational program for North Carolina schools that would give students a look at traditional and contemporary Indian culture. open house The African and Afro-American curriculum offers a Ghana Exchange Program, in which students can spend their junior year at the University of Ghana in Accra, African Studies Director Roberta Ann Dunbar said Monday. Explaining the need for the Curriculum for African and Afro-American Studies, which was established in 1969, Afro American Studies Director Sonja Stone said, "Clearly the area of Afro-American Studies has been neglected in the past by academic institutions."
