The rooms are bright and cheerful, spacious and decorated with modern furniture.

But the real center of activities is the studio space. The new building has two large rooms for shows, one 65 by 80 feet in size and the other, 40 by 52 feet Both are equipped with the latest lighting devices. The station has new facilities for doing its own film processing and a special room for editing feature films. "WE PROJECT 21 feature movies a week and we screen all films not only for audio and video quality but for scenes which might be offensive to our viewers," Heady said. "We are a family station and edit any material which might be The larger studios will provide more space for audiences and could make it possible for the station to originate quiz programs for syndication.

KPHO Is owned by the Meredith Corp. of Des Moines, Iowa, and officials will be here this week for the grand opening. The studios will be open to the public at various times and the station will broadcast a tour of the building at the end of the month. The station has purchased 11 Don Ruffin paintings to decorate its offices and a showing of his works will be set up for the grand opening. Moving an entire television station across town and staying on the air at the same time isn't easy.

Staffers began moving key equipment last week but the most important items were moved between Friday night and Saturday morning after the station signed off the air. Actual broadcasting from the new facilities began Saturday. Photos and Story By JACK SWANSON When KPHO Channel 5 gets all moved Into Its new facilities this weekend, the first big change you'll notice on the air will be a fantastic array of new patterns for scene changes and fade-outs. One new addition to the station's equipment is an electronic marvel called a Grass Valley Switcher. The device is operated by the program director during a broadcast and can mix signals from 20 different sources.

During a football game, for instance, the switcher can superimpose the head of the announcer over the action on the field, enclose him In a brightly-colored circle or divide the screen into four separate images. The switcher cost $53,000. GRAND OPENING for the station's new headquarters will be Wednesday' Located on a acre site west of the Black Canyon Freeway Just south of Indian School, the facility cost $1.5 million. It replaces the station's home on Second Ave. which it sold along with KPHO Radio to Dairyland Managers, Inc.

Until the sale is approved by the Federal Communications Commission, KHPO Radio will operate from the new building. Ken W. Heady, vice president and general manager of KPHO, said the new building will provide the station with many new capabilities but will result in no changes in programming. "As far as our basic program schedule Is concerned, we aren't planning any Heady said, directing a sneak preview of the facility. "This year we added two new local programs, 'Est Eres TV and 'Get It both aimed at members of minority group's." The building Is a contemporary treatment of traditional Spanish mission design, featuring a large central open pa tetter i 7 K1 VJ a'I I A Hope-ful cast Ken Heady Everything about the building seems to be designed for expansion.

"We have built in room for personnel growth," Heady said. "With the tremendous growth in the Phoenix market during the last few years, we felt we had to plan to grow with it."

Then they come charging in, furiously demanding to know why another show could get away with a scene or a remark forbidden on their show. "Our basic rule Is to stay within the confines of good taste and to remember most shows have a family audience." Sex symbols, movie star grade, are often tough to handle. One such arrived for an early season "Laugh-In" and Insisted she would walk off if not permitted to wear an extremely revealing gown. There were frantic and high level conferences and the lady ultimately won. "After all," shrugged Traviesas, "that is the sort of thing the audience expects from her." NONE OF THE NETWORKS is interested in acquiring X-rated movies for broadcast Four-letter words and sexy scenes are routinely edited out of those otherwise acceptable.

Bedroom scenes are usually cut Alfred Schneider, the ABC vice president under whose wing the censorship division functions, said it Is network policy to show programs In advance on closed circuit to executives of affiliated stations. "That gives station licensees a chance to raise any questions," he said. "We also will screen In advance for the NAB Code authorities." Schneider agreed with his network peers that violence for the sake of violence was out of bounds. And like the others he emphasized that it was Impossible to eliminate all of it from shows since conflict Is the wellspring of drama. The editors are not the final word in disputed cases.

The verdict may be appealed right up to the head of the department even higher. All three men said, however, that such appeals are rare. "Almost anybody can identify questionable material," said one executive, "even producers know it when theyare trying to keep It in their hands." By CYNTHIA LOWRT Associated Press NEW YORK So you think there are more violence, cuss words and low-cut gowns on your television screen this season. Gosh, no, say the top censors of the three major networks who will then tell, usually, without revealing the name of the program, a few things that you are NOT going to sea: A sequence In a Western Involving hungry dogs and a wounded man. A vivid bit In an action show about a victim being hung upside down and being skewered.

The murder of three men of the cloth In confessional booths. SINCE THE WORD "censor" enjoys the same popularity In television circles that some of those tags used by Archie Bunker achieve among ethnic minorities, the men who ride herd on violence, sex and bad taste are called "editors." They are contained within departments euphemistically labeled "Program Practice" (CBS), "Broadcast Standards and Practices" (ABC) and "Broadcast Standards" (NBC). Whatever the name, their Job is to try to walk that fine and 111 defined line that separates violence from "action necessary to plot acceptable taste from crudeness; naughty from dirty. The basic guidelines are amply set forth In 34 articles of the Television Code of the National Association of Broadcasters which covers everything from cigarette smoking (frowned upon) to on-camera demonstrations of hypnosis (banned). Enforcing code limitations is a touchy business; producers howl In pain when scenes are watered down; critics, and often viewers, scream when bodies, blows and bullets turn up in wholesale quantities.

Wjlllam H. Tankersjpy, the calm and not overly an episode In which a man was being blinded and the sound track revealing his screaming agony also went Network editors are particularly alert to sound: one action show proposed to indicate by his gasps a man was being garrotted off camera. It was too gruesome, the censor decided, so went There have even been occasions when mood music Including those sharp raps that suggest Imminent danger and ghostly moans-has been toned down. Each network has one censor assigned exclusively to its late-night talk show. This is partly because the shows are ad lib and likely to erupt in forbidden language, and partly because blips-erasure of words and excisions must be made as soon as the programs are taped so they can be broadcast later in the evening.

"The editor assigned to the Carson taping makes a constant check on the subject material," says Herminio Traviesas, NBCs guardian of good taste. "Four letter words are clipped out except for some hells and damns. You would be surprised at some of the language that slips In. Not too long ago we were forced to cut a solid three and a half minutes out of the show a comedian launched Into a long outhouse story and nobody could stop him. We would rather blip than cut anytime.

"THE DIFFICULTY Is that the laughter of a studio audience heard after a blip frustrates the viewer who Is curious about what he has missed," said Traviesas. Although one editor is usually assigned to four shows, one NBC man in Burbank takes care of only "The Dean Martin Show" and "Laugh-In." "He watches for double entendres," the NBC man explained. "He reviews every script in advance and follows through every step afterwards. Generally our producers riprk well with our editors io pe announced. i) I p.m.

When CBS acquired "The Six Wives of Henry VIII" it was deemed necessary to edit out what Tankersley called "a lot of bad talk," although "in the historical context of the series we permitted some language words like 'whore' that would never have been allowed in other programs."
