On May IZ 1968 we got the signal to go ahead.

That was the day we received authority to proceed with applications to use "short haul" microwave for distributing TV signal to CATV subscribers. This commercial authorization would allow for tests in New York City and two rural areas. For the present, application of this new system will be limited, but its promise for the future can be far -reaching. CATV systems can become economically practical in sparsely populated rural communities. Many rural viewers can enjoy the full range of television programming, for the first time. The delivery of CATV signal to city dwellers can be accomplished without major street construction, public inconvenience, or delay. Natural barriers can cease to be barriers. We, at Theta -Com, who developed "short haul "microwave, are proud to see it move ahead. Through the combined skills of a leading communications systems company and a leading CATV operating company, it has proved something about electronic communications: There are no impossible dreams.

When you look over a market .. don't over look the Norfolk- Newport News Metro area. Estimated here is the greatest concentration of people in the entire Southeast - more than 900,000 people in half the area of metro Atlanta or Miami! Tidewater Virginia's true size is obscured by the fact that the U. S. Govern- ment, Sales Management and other statistical references unrealistically list Norfolk and Newport News as separate metro areas. (Actually ... the two areas are only 21/2 miles apart, connected by bridge and tunnel.) To get the full picture you must a /ways add Norfolk and Newport News, all ways. They are much closer than Tampa -St. Pete, for example, with more people - and don't overlook the hidden market - the huge military complex in Tidewater with a military and civilian payroll of over TWO MILLION DOLLARS a day!

Black is a red -blooded American color. The Black showed the color of his blood in places like Vietnam and Korea. (And other all-American battlegrounds in two World Wars, the Civil War and the Revolution.) His country called for help, and he heard. But we can't seem to hear his call. Perhaps if Black and White could listen with their hearts they could hear each other. That's what NIGHT CALL is all about. It's a radio program that lets people air their views man to man. Color to color. Live. From phones anywhere in the country.

After all, a syringe full of junk bites into Black and White skin with the same ruining surge. And a Black mother cries over her child just like a White one does. The problems are pretty much the same; just the characters have different colors. NIGHT CALL's person -to- person nationwide radio hook up lets Black and White tell it like it is ... each in his own words. Call it a social pressure valve -the voice of the ghetto, the voice of disgust, the voice of hope. Call it what you will -it's the voice of the people. NIGHT CALL lets people talk. And experts on the phone anywhere in the country or world offer answers to some of the problems. Having a heart -to -heart squawk. (At least it gets people talking. First about their problems. And eventually to each other.) NIGHT CALL has a cast of millions (200 millions of us). Produced by The United Methodist Church's TV, Radio and Film Commission (TRAFCO), the program covers 43 stations in 36 cities and Washington, D. C. It could just be the most important listening post on the air today because it starts people talking. A program you should program. Because if we don't start talking to each other, we'll end up shouting. And there's no telling where we'll wind up after that.

Commissioner backs UHF against land -mobile raid on broadcast spectrum

FCC Commissioner Robert E. Lee has been hopping about the country- side, getting a good deal off his chest on a variety of subjects in recent days. Between Thursday and Sunday in time, and between Lincoln, Neb., and New York in distance, he indicated opposition to reallocating UHF channels to land -mobile radio users, and urged those users to take an "objective" look at the potential of the 26 megacycles of spectrum recently made available to the commission for reallocation; criticized a number of frequency- management sohemes, all of which would be detri- Tote bar, lift that uh glass mental to the present television system; that ...... expressed opposition to pending legis- President Vincent T.

\l" WORLDS OF LOCAL TV

Here's an opportunity for television stations to tell all members of the United States Senate, the House of Representatives, the commissioners and important staff members of the FCC, all state governors and key advertising and marketing executives the important role they play in community affairs at the local level.

The eighth consecutive annual report on "The Many Worlds of Local TV" to be published in the August issue will include three sections:

(1) A report devoted to local programing done by stations during 1967. This article will be based on the national mail and interview survey being done by the NAB for the President's Task Force on Tele- communications Policy. This report may well influence decisions to be made by this group.

(2) A section concerning 1968 programing that has been broadcast or is planned in response to the civil unrest that now troubles many communities. This will be based on a TELEVISION survey of all commercial TV stations in the U.S. and will be an up -to -date report on this important aspect of public interest programing.

(3) A feature on the stations that have won national and regional awards for local television programing. The awards will be sum- marized and winners named. (These will include awards from Peabody, Sigma Delta Chi, Freedom Foundations, Headliners, Emmy, Sloan American Bar, Radio -TV News Directors, National Associa- tion of TV Program Executives and others).

Tell the leaders in the business and governmental world of communications your station's story in the August issue. Advertising deadline is July 17.

A ONCEAYEAR ADVERTISING OPPORTUNITY

The 'mportant role that television stations play in community affairs will be documented in the eighth annual "The Many Worlds of Local TV," to be published in the August issue of Television. Personal copies of Television will be received by every member of the FCC, U.S. Senate, House of Representatives, by state governors and communications officials. Distri- bution will be 15,000 including 6,500 to agencies and advertisers. When the roll is called, make sure you've told your story.

Justice Abe Fortas, the lone dissenter, said unequivocally that the "operations of CATV systems are based upon the use of other people's property." He supported the 37 -year- old precedent established in the Jewell -LaSalle case in Chi- cago, in which the Supreme Court had held that the hotel picked up copyrighted broadcast material for distribution to its public and private rooms and therefore infringed.
