EXHIBIT NO. I
The purpose of TRIAD FAMILY NETWORK, INC., and its proposed station is to provide:
a)An interdenominational and non-sectarian Christian
broadcasting outlet, programmed for the Biblical and spiritual
instruction/education and inspiration of it's listeners.
b)Medical and health-related educational program to both the
medical community and the community at-large.
c)Training opportunities for students in the areas of
programming and station operation.
d)An outlet of public expression.
e)An outlet of local expression particularily for youth. TRIAD FAMILY NETWORK, INC. FCC FORM 340, SECTION II , QUESTION IV FEBRUARY, 1991
EXHIBIT NO. II
The purpose for establishing the proposed station is to
provide a non-commercial, educational FM program service to the
Winston-Salem, North Carolina community. Special emphasis will be
given to programs addressing medical and health-related issues, and
spiritual, psychological, family, and community-related issues.
The Winston-Salem market is currently served by another
educational station, WFDD-FM, which airs classical music, news, and
some programming of general educational and community interest.
Winston-Salem State University operates WSNC-FM, 90.5, whose
licensee is the Board of Trustees of Winston-Salem state
University. Its programming is gospel, jazz, and rhythm & blues
music and some public affairs items. WSNC is aimed substantially
at the black university and general public community.
The proposed application of TRIAD FAMILY NETWORK would bring
the third area public FM outlet of local expression to Winston-
Salem, North Carolina. Further described herein are the objectives and programming of TRIAD FAMILY NETWORK which amply justify a third
Non Commercial/Educational FM outlet in Winston-Salem under section
307(B) of the Communications Act of 1934. It is our intention to provide a valuable alternative public radio service to augment that of WFDD and WSNC.
The proposed station would provide yet another facet of information programming to both the community at large, Which ha~ TRIAD FAMILY NETWORK, INC. FCC FORM 340, SECTION II , QUESTION IV (continued) FEBRUARY, 1991
a need for and interest in up-to-date medical and health-related
information, and the large medical community in Winston-Salem. In
addition to two other hospitals, North Carolina Baptist Hospital is
the teaching and research arm of Bowman Gray School of Medicine of
Wake Forest University. This large medical and medical student
community would not only benefit from the station's medical
programming, but would also serve as a resource to the station for
its locally-produced medical/health programs/features.
The station will have an on-going official advisory board
including members of the medical community to provide direction in
the production of local medical/health programming. They will also
evaluate and recommend the nationally syndicated medical
programs/features so as to best serve the needs of both the medical
and general community.
As a further educational service to the community, the station
will work with officials of the local colleges and public and
private high school career developement system in making the station available as a means of training students interested in the operation and programming of a radio station.
TRIAD FAMILY NETWORK intends to operate as a full-time Non
Commercial/Educational FM station under 47 CFR 73.561 (B) of the
Commission's Rules inasmuch as its initial expected program schedule will normally be 15 hours per day. TRIAD FAMILY NETWORK plans to increase its programming up to 24 hours per daY as publie TRIAD FAMILY NETWORK, INC. FCC FORM 340, SECTION II , QUESTION IV (continued) FEBRUARY, 1991
