WPSU-TV
GOING ON THE AIRWAYS
Dr. Oaear Patterson [standing) directs
Pembroke State University students as
by Gene Warren
PEMBROKE-Tuesday, Oct. 23, at
1:10 p.m. was a big moment in the
history of Pembroke State University.
The reason: PSU's public television
station went on the air for testing.
The station plans to continue tele
casting from that moment on for 24 hours
a day.
"WPSU-TV, P.O. Box 62. Pembroke.
N.C." was flashed on the screen in gold
letters on a black background (gold and
black are the school colors) and a new
dimension in the scope of Pembroke
State University was bora.
The testing was done over Channel 3
in Pembroke, which is the Alert
cablevision system here. At this time the
PSU public station will serve only that
channel in Pembroke-but it plans to
expand in the next few months to
Lumberton cablevision, with which it has
already signed a contract. In Lumberton.
the WPSU-TV station will be on Channel
18.
"Scott Bigelow, general manager of
the Lumberton cablevision, wants us on
as soon as possible," said Dr. Oscar
Patterson, director of telecommunica
tions at PSU under whose energetic
leadership the PSU public television
station has become a reality.
Plans are to carry the Learning
Channel on WPSU-TV from 6 a.m. to 4
p.m. daily, followed by C-SPAN from 4
p.m. until 6 a.m. WPSU-TV will carry an
independent news network at noon.

programming until after Christmas."
injected Patterson. A major reason for
this is that he is in the process of training
student personnel who will be the people
manning the station.
"WPSU-TV has 11 student volunteers
learning to operate the station. We have
four students on our work-study pro
gram. Other students are also interested.
I'm a full-time faculty member who is in
charge of the operation," said Patterson.
In the future Patterson hopes to obtain
funds for operating the station in the
form of grants from such places as oil
corporations, etc.
"We want to be able to interview
people visiting the campus in our
WPSU-TV studio. We will have to wait to
do that for now. Our students are
learning the intracacies of very delicate
equipment. They are dedicated students.
On a previous Saturday, on their off from
school, they were here from 10 a.m. to 5
p.m., seeking to learn how to work the
equipment. It takes time to train
people."
Patterson emphasized that this is a
time for testing this public TV station.
"We will interrupt any programming to
make test adjustments," he said. "The
viewer should be aware we are testing. If
they see a funny picture, that's all right.
Some of the faces may be green."
Once WPSU-TV gets into local pro
gramming. "it will be done live," noted
Patterson. "This studio floor will have to
be painted or carpeted and furniture
placed in it. We have an advisory
committee helping with this."
WPSU-TV is located in the back of the
Old Main building with an impressively
equipped studio and control room. "The
list price for all of the equipment we have
here is $350,000," said Patterson.
"Through a grant from the U.S.
Department of Commerce plus matching
funds, we were provided J201,308... and
r we have spent every bit of h on
1 equipment."
