The SUN. Flagstaff, Arizona, Sunday, May 2, 19825 Dream Comes True for NAUs KNAU Radio Station 'All along we realized we have to do something, he said, in reference to the Federal Communications Commission's decision to phase out all 19-watt FM stations and require a 100-watt minimum. The real question was what could we afford, Hughes said. Hamnett said basically they trimmed all the frills out of the proposed expansion budget, to come up with the plan the university's executive committee could agree fit NAU both financially and academically last Tuesday. He said the administrations main concerns were those areas in ference.

until he heard the words I am happy to announce Hughes said his first year as university president in 1979 marked the beginning of plans to expand the 10-watt campus station. Since that time the station had a great deal of turnover in personnel, said Hughes, including the hiring of Hamnett and Joe Cox. vice president for academic affairs. Academic opportunities for students and operating budgets are the two areas Hughes said the administration has been the most concerned about all along. BYDEBISCHMOYER Sun Staff Reporter It was like a dream come true for KNAU radio station manager Russ Hamnett and his staff, when Northern Arizona University President Eugene Hughes announced Friday at an 11:30 a.m.

press conference that the university was giving the seal of approval to the campus stations expansion plans to become a FM fine arts and information station. Hamnett, who said later in a telephone interview with the Arizona Daily Sun, he had no idea what Hughes was going to announce in the press con or the ability of KNAU to fill a much needed of radio service in Northern Arizona. Hamnett said work will start next week when they start calling vendors to see if they can pick up plans where they left off, when the university put the expansion plans on hold March 8. He said he is not quite sure when the construction of the new station will begin but they plan on starting this summer, and to be on the air sometime later this year. The capacity of the station could give KNAU a broadcasting area covering as much as 20,000 square miles in northern Arizona, he said, reaching areas east of Holbrook, west to Seligman, as far south as Carefree, and north to Tuba City.

He said through the station's NPR-affiliation they will not only have access to network news programming but special programs as well like German orchestra productions and the NPR World of Opera. Changes in the local for-mat have been recommended by students from Native American and Hispanic backgrounds to provide both informational and entertainment programming. the expansion plans not covered by the station's two major grants, like studio construction and some operating costs. The two grants, $80,000 from the corporation for Public Broadcasting for operational costs, and $133,331 from Public Telecommunications Facilities Program, a division of the Department of Commerce, for purchasing equipment, do not cover the costs for the satellite receiving system for the network programming from National Public Radio or the cost of the new studios, Hamnett said. Hughes said bids on the construction of those studios that will be located on the top floor of the North Activity Center, were as high as $250,000 and he said, with the present condition of the states economy, there was no way the university could ask for additional funding.

Hughes said from the start of the planning phase, both the Arizona Board of Regents, the governing board of the states universities, and the Arizona qualifications, he said the new station will bring in more opportunities for students. For example, Hamnett said, plans include the incorporation of the theater department students into the stations programming in the form of student-produced radio dramas. Hughes said with the budget changes and cuts in operating costs, the station should not have to seek funding through the private sector in the form of fundraising. He said the committee was concerned with the possibility of competition for funds between the universitys fund raising campaign Edge of Excellence and KNAU. In response to KNAU raising funds through the private sector he said, We need to support the institution (NAU) totally, first, and second, the special projects (KNAU).

With the cuts in budget, Hughes said the problem has been solved without sacrificing the expansion plans, either of the grants Legislature have been behind the expansion. Hamnett said in cutting the budget the administration knocked about $200,000 off the cost of building the studios by using university personnel and construction plans, and cut the bill for furnishing the studios from $40,000 to $11,000, an amount he said still can be cut. Hughes said the university committees other major concern was that despite the expansion, KNAU maintains its student personnel status, thereby ensuring the students ample hands-on experience. Hamnett added NAU is the only state university or four-year school that gives students an opportunity to participate in the production of a professional radio station, and he said that is one aspect of the station that will not change.
