RIDGERUNNER staff
UNC-A has an opportunity to
operate its own radio station.
The essential ingrediant, a
transmitter, has been donated to
the campus by WLOS. It is old,
but still is opertional and has a
capacity of 3000 watts
transmission. However, from the
possession of a transmitter to
the operation of a radio station
is a big step, and several large
hurdles have to be over come
before it can be accomplished.
The first hurdle is money. It
will take approximately $2,500
to establish a station with the
output of 1000 watts which is
the maximum feasable
transmission at the present time.
Roy Holden freshman-un-
declared, has done extensive
investigation into the possibility
of UNC-A aquiring the radio
station. He has written the
Department of Health,
Education and Welfare to
explore the possibility of getting
a Title I grant. This g« ant would
pay up to 50 percent of all
construction costs. If that could
be obtained, the remainder
could probably be raised locally.
The next hurdle is the legal
aspects of any radio
braoadcasting. Ray Holden has
checked with the Federal
Communications Commission
(FCC) and says that at the
present, a commercial station is
out of the question. UNC-A will
have to be processed as an
educational-atation applicant to
obtain a license. This is only one
of the many technicalities that
must be complied with in order
to satisfy FCC regulations.
The third hurdle could be the
greatest or the most minor
point. This is the problem of
manpower to run the station. If
the school is to have a station, it
has to have capable and willing
people to do the work.
If these not insurmountable
hurdles can be over come,
UNC-A could be broadcasting in
a few months.
