The Indianapolis News from Indianapolis, Indiana • 13

Tuesday. July 18. 1967 THE INDIANAPOLIS NEWS Pare. 13 TUESDAY TV PROGRAMS TRUDY (Ct CMr Educational TV Here? Well, Maybe, Someday i isr I i By RICHARD K. SHULL Starting in October, more than 125 of the nation's cities will be treated each Sunday night to a bright, fresh and probably controversial approach to the week's news.

But you won't see it. This is because the program will be offered only on National Education Television (NET) stations and Indianapolis is spank in the middle of the nation's largest educational TV desert. The capital city of Indiana now stands as one of the largest TV markets in the country without benefit of an ETV outlet. Indiana is one of the very few states in the nation without an ETV station on the air.

We've offered money, equipment and our engineering talent to help them get McConnell said. The package offered by WISH-TV and WLW-I to Channel 20 is identical to the earlier offer by WTTV $40,000 cash toward first-year operating expenses of Channel 20, $65,000 cash to be used to obtain Federal matching funds from the Department of Health, Education and Welfare; $90,000 worth of black-and-white studio equipment, studio space, and a free transmitter to be mounted to WLW-I's tower north of the city. THE OFFER ALSO would include the technical knowledge of the WISH-TV and WLW-I engineering staffs. Dr. Esch said he has talked with officials of some school districts in the area attempting to get a notion 'of what the public schools would be willing to pay in rentals for classroom instruction programs which would be offered on Channel 20 during the day.

Perhaps it should be made clear that ETV is not all classroom lectures and instruction in basket weaving. Basically, an ETV station spends its daytime hours as an instructional tool for schools. In the evening, it shifts to material of general interest to whole families educational, informational and sometimes entertaining. According to the latest figures by American Research Bureau, 5.3 per cent or 156,600 of the TV sets in operation in the Indianapolis television market are equipped with all-channel tuners and would be capable of receiving Channel 20. Congress now is concerned with a variety of plans to finance a legitimate national network for ETV stations so that most areas of the country will be able to receive ETV programming while it's fresh and new.

This undoubtedly will come to pass within a year. Meanwhile, Ford Foundation has put up $10 million to create a special phone line hookup of ETV stations starting Oct. 29 for a weekly Sunday evening news and public affairs show. BUT, ALL THIS ACTIVITY is of no consequence to Indianapolis or Indiana because neither city nor state yet has a station capable of receiving the shows. It's a real shame.

"Brains aren't everything, dear. ust look at your father a warm, happy, contented individual." This isn't to say the Hoosier intellect will wither and die without it, but wouldn't it be nice to have an alternative to commercial broadcasting? Many attempts have been made through the years to get an ETV station going here, but for a multiplicity of political, financial or technical reasons, the job has never been done. At the moment, the only hope for educational TV in Indianapolis is in the hands of Dr. I. Lynd Esch, president of Indiana Central College, who heads a group Tjtvw J.

WEDNESDAY TV PROGRAMS Color :00 Today (C) 71s 1:30 :00 Today (C) 8:30 :45 LYNDA NETTER Converse is 29, married, father of two children, stands 6-2, has blond hair and blue eyes. Next fall he'll be a regular in a new police series, "N.Y.P.D." "Coronet Blue" was manufactured 2Vi years ago, but the project was shut down and forgotten until CBS dusted off the 13 completed episodes and decided to use them for summer salvage this year. Unfortunately, since the production was stopped before it ever got on the air, no final episode revealing the identity of Converse's amnesiac character, Michael Al-den, ever was filmed. So when the last episode is seen Sept. 4, you w'll be left ignorant of who he is.

Jim Gerard ShowQ :00 9:15 :30 They said "The Monkees" first job was as actors and :45 The Fugitive :00 of educators, churchmen and civic leaders incorporated as Metropolitan Indianapolis Television Asscociation, Inc. The group has made application for a license to operate Channel 20, ulta-high frequency here. The application was made with the Federal Communications Commission more than 18 month ago, and so far, the FCC still is sitting on it. The FCC doesn't normally cogitate a simple matter like an educational license until the pages are yellowed, but in this instance the Channel 20 application was all ensnarled in the perennial squabble between WTTV O.

and WISH-TV and WLW-I WTTV WANTED TO MOVE its transmitting tower from Trafalgar, 26 miles south of the city, to a more competitive site on West 96th Street at the Marion-Boone-Hamilton county junctures. WISH-TV and WLW-I are opposed to the move, primarily for business reasons. They don't cotton the extra competition. As an added inducement to the FCC, WTTV offered to put up the equivalent of $350,000 in cash and equipment to help Channel 20 get on the air. Last January, WISH-TV and WLW-I offered to match the WTTV offer of aid to Channel 20, if the FCC wouldn't approve WTTV's tower move.

The case was shuffled back to the bottom of the FCC heap and didn't emerge again until three weeks ago when the FCC once more rejected WTTVs tower plan. WTTV has until July 2S to appeal that decision, but an official of the Sarkes Tarzian Corp. which owns the station said no appeal will be made, that WTTV will content itself with living in Trafalgar forever. THIS HAS LEFT DR. ESCH and his group without one of their would-be patrons, and also left WISH-TV and WLW-I with their offer still dangling.

So now where are we? Dr. Esch said, "At the moment, Channel 20 is lying dormant. We'll have to amend our application now that WTTV is out of the picture. Since I've had no direct contact with WISH-TV or WLW-I, I don't know where we'll start. "We'll have to get a board meeting together soon," he added.

Dr. Esch said he envisions Channel 20 operating from four studios the existing facilities at Christian Theological Seminary, and possibly new facilities at Indiana Central, at Butler University, and the Indianapolis Public School System. As for the massive aid from WISH-TV and WLW-I, Dr. Esch said he hasn't yet made inquiry with the stations. Robert B.

McConnell, vice president and general manager of WISH-TV, said, "It's up to the educators to ask us for it. It's up to them to make the move. We intend to honor our commitment, but they have to ask.
