The move is not without risks, since "The New Newly wed Game," which had occupied the SO p.m. slot, had done well in the ratings, Buzogany said. The 5:30 p.ra tlmeslot has traditionally been ruled by younger viewers, but Buzogany thinks there's a potential audience tor news.

Arts Council and from foundation grants. "It's a little hard to get money." she said. "I'm amazed on the number of projects that are going on that require public conlrlbu-1 lions. But people have been very! generous." At one point, plans called for a 1 one-hour film, but she's now thinking about a "fast-paced 30 minutes," she 1 said.

"I'd like to have an Asheville 1 premiere." Hendrix is hoping to have "Look I Homeward" broadcast by PRS and i shown at universities and other schools. 1 Staff Writer Today, they are just interesting Asheville characters but by year's end, they could be movie stars.

After 10 months of planning, WSPA-FM, Spartanburg, S.C., has installed a new translator near Asheville, sending a strong signal into the city, operation manager Jack Sapp said. The WSPA-FM signal had been heard locally, but it suffered from reception problems "since we are 60 miles away," Sapp said.

"The translator will serve nearly all of Asheville. There may be some places where a knoll or a hilltop will get in the way, but most of the city will be able to receive our signal" The station will microwave its signal usually found at 99 on the dial to the translator, which will re-broadcast It at 97.7, Sapp said. The station hopes to fill a void left when the old WLOS-FM (also known as WRLX-FM) axed its easy Us- tening format in 1984, changed call letters and switched to rock music, Sapp said. "When they dropped the easy listening music, we got a lot of letters," Sapp said. "People could pick us up, but not that well.

So we started thinking about the transla-' tor." 1 Before building the translator, WSPA-FM had to apply with the Federal Communications Com mission, which eventually gave Its OK. Ratings-wise, the station has done well with the easy! listening format, he said. 2 "In our own metro area, (Greenville, Spartanburg1 and Pickens counties) we usually get about a seven-share (percent of the audience)," he said. "And In HerK derson and Transylvania counties, with listeners (age) plus, we are number two. We have a tremendous audi- ence up there."
