A place of their own.

Nearly five years ago, concerned citizens and gov- ernmental agencies in the area called Siouxland (where Iowa, Nebraska and South Dakota meet) created a badly needed recreation facility for the aged, the Siouxland Senior Center. By early 1974, how- ever, the Center had become bogged down by inactivity, lack of money and inadequate facilities. KMEG -TV's community service committee worked closely with the Center staff and officers to line up donations of labor and materials to remodel the Center. And then the station helped stage an enter- tainment benefit featuring actor Will Geer of "The Waltons." The result is a new card room, kitchen and library, new air conditioning, and continuous remodeling. In addition, KMEG -TV's involvement has increased awareness of senior citizens' needs and stimulated more and more contributions to benefit all the mem- bers of the Center. Supporting community projects like the Siouxland Senior Center is all part of the Fetzer tradition of total community involvement.

To find out, we went to experts. For the past five years, educators and specialists in child develop- ment have helped us create programs that skill- fully incorporate simple lessons in living within the framework of popular entertainment. Does it work? The CBS Office of Social Research, in colla- boration with research firms specializing in the study of children, performed a series of five sur- veys, involving a total of more than 4,000 children, to find out what messages they received from the programs. Most of the children were aged 7 and 8 and 10 and 11; two surveys also included young teenagers. The results may surprise you. And they're yours for tie asking.

Broadcasting Mar 21 1977 42 Introducing a Color Corrector for Electronic News Gathering. Electronic News Gathering makes tough demands upon the broad- caster. Color imbalance and colorimetry problems are frequently encoun- tered. Matching remote camera shots to indoor studio programs or assembling tapes from different locations or cameras is "chancy" at best. Often that fast -breaking story doesn't allow for camera rebalancing! Thomson -CSF Laboratories now provides a solution to such difficult encoded signal color problems. With the Model 5500A Color Convector, you'll be able to rebalance and match video signals after encoding. It can be used either after the play-back tape machine or following the micro- wave receiver during live coverage. In most cases, a noticeably improved color picture will result. For ease of operation, a Remote Control unit is induded as standard equipment. As an added feature, an optional automatic Sensor unit is also avail- able to control the Color Corrector for telecine use. Whether for Electronic News Gathering, tape production or tele- cine use, the Thomson-CSF Laboratories Color Corrector System should be working for you. Interested? Give us a call. l1

Broadcasting Mar 21 1977 78 Buy a Compositor I. Get ahead of the competition. (These broadcasters did)

"We used the Compositor for the first time on election night. We were very pleased with the clarity and color. I'm sure we had the /I best election show in town that night. " -Donald Loose, Manager WTMJ TV WTMJ News Operations

"The Compositor has excellent fonts -- they're clean, they are sharp- 000 look ing, and they are distinctive... we have as much memory storage as we're ever going to need. You can change directly from any page to any other page without any problem whatsoever -- you don't have to stick with the original sequence. The Compositor gives you super KING 1V5 flexibility." -Don LaCombe, KING Production Manager

"We used our new Compositor system during the elec- tion and were very happy with it. It seemed to me that the character edging made our display easier to read than the competition's. We moved ahead of the other stations soon after the election results started coming in." -Terry Harrison, KTVK -TV Engineer

"The Compositor's on -air display is a marvel... head and shoulders superior to the competition. We've virtually discontinued using hotpress for KRON SAN FRANCISCO supers." -Galen Daily, KRON Program Manager

These broadcasters agree: the new Compositor I Graphics System offers a superior on -air look.

With graphic-quality fonts and instant access to any page in memory at any time, the software -

based Compositor I provides the fast on -air operation demanded by production personnel, the artistic quality demanded by advertisers, and the competitive edge that broadcast management is looking for. To find out more about the Compositor I, visit our booth at the NAB Show (Washington Hilton -No. 421) or call Don Rhodes at (801) 972 -8000.
