The Santa Fe New Mexican from Santa Fe, New Mexico • 13

I. iHi TNI ftftWMtXiCAft 1 1 Two TV stations may be closer than ever to other place" to put the transmitter, saying that If It was placed on the mountain tops near Santa Fe the station "would loae a large part of Its audience." The "large part," of course, la Albuouerque, Both Trumbly and New Mexico Media President Charles Scanlon make It clear, however, they will be Santa Fe stations primarily serving Santa Fe residents. That's Important, because the FCC licenses they are vying for are for Santa Fe and the FCC requires signals strong enough to service the city with a "city grade contour." FCC officiate Initially questioned the Son Broadcaatlng and New Mexico Media propoaala because, they said, the transmitters on Sandla Crest wouldn't be strong enough to give Santa Fe the required "city grade contour." But Scanlon and Trumbly disagree. "The question Is whether we're truly going to be a Santa Fe station," Scanlon said.

"And the answer Is yes we are." On the question of whether Sandla Crest transmitters can provide the required power to Santa Fe television sets, Scanlon says simply, "We have resolved that to our own satisfaction. We'll see if Its resolved to their (the FCC's) satisfaction." Trumbly answers the criticism In a similar manner. "The questions theyve raised In Albuquerque truthfully have some merit," he said. "There la the question of do we plan to serve Santa Fe and we do. Thats the key." If Son Broadcasting and New Mexico Media gains FCC approval Nov.

26, It will be for construction permits only. That allows the applicants to build studios, erect transmitters and whatever else needed to shift a full-scale television operation Into gear. Then, test programming would be allowed and in all probability a full FCC license granted. Both applicants say they will begin with limited broadcasting something near 12 hours a day and then expand to "full-time." Trumbly said Son Broadcasting eventually wanted to broadcast 24 hours a day. Although most of the Son Broadcasting programs would be from the three American and one Canadian Christian networks, at least one hour each evening would be reserved for a live local Christian show.

One nationally syndicated Christian show, for example, Is a comedy that Trumbly calls "a Christian Laugb-ln." "It is unreal It Is so funny," Trumbly says enthusiastically. Another regular feature would be the nationally broadcast 700 Club" show, which Trumbly refers to as a Tonight Show for Christians." Son Broadcasting already has a studio with more than 21 million in equipment, located In the back of a building on East San Francisco Street. It also has purchased transmitting equipment from Brigham Young dependent station, Scanlon says, with Its own news op- eratlon and local program- mlng capabilities.

The applicant la New Mexico Media an Incorporated company aupported by a email group of Santa Fe buatneeamen. Both flrma plan to have their broadcaat atudloa In Santa Fe, but will tranamlt from towera on the Sandla Croat above Albuquerque. That propoeed location baa atlrrod opposition from Albuquerque televlaion eta-tlona and, aa a result, has lowed the entire process of getting the Santa Fe applications cleared.

"The reason this baa taken so long and that now we must have a hearing la that we're being opposed by the Albuquerque TV stations' Mid Warren Trumbly, Son Broadcastings chief engineer and only paid employee. "I guess the real objection la us having a transmitter on Sandla Crest." Trumbly said there Is no Effort money key to TV University. All Son Broadcasting's money comes from donations, according to Trumbly. Three years ago the organisation conducted a week-long fundraiser that brought In even more than Its goal of $500,000. AU of our equipment has been paid for and paid for In cash," Trumbly said.

"We dont borrow anything." "I think Its a testimony from the Christian community that they do really want some kind of alternative programming. New Mexico Media has raised Its money In a somewhat different way. A small group of Santa Fe area businessmen that originally filed the FCC application In January 1977 Is still supporting the Idea, which may end up costing $1 25 million, according to Scanlon. Scanlon said New Mexico Media planned to construct a new building to house Its studio, probably somewhere In southern Santa Fe.

In the case of the two Santa Fe organlxations currently In the process, there appears to be an ample amount of both financial and moral support. Son Broadcasting a non-profit Christian organization, Is entirely supported by donations. That has proved to be a very successful formula for funding. In a week-long fundraiser three years ago, for example, Son Broadcasting raised more than 2500,000. The spark behind the religious fire is Belarmlno "Black-le Gonzales, an Albuquerquean well-known for his religious radio station there KOAZ.

"Blackle took one whole week of air time on his radio station and devoted it to raising money for Son Broadcasting and the response was Just great," said Warren Trumbly, chief engineer and only paid employee for Son Broadcasting. Trumbly said the contributions have enabled the broadcasting company to pay for all of its equipment much of It Is second-hand and prepare Itself for the expense of running a full-scale television station. Trumbly and Gonzales also have run into some "special buys on equipment, such as when they bought about 2200,000 worth of transmitting equipment from Brigham Young University In Utah for 218,500. "God has blessed us many times, says Trumbly. The other group attempting to get a FCC license, New Mexico Media has the support of a small group of Santa Fe area businessmen.

Charles Scanlon, president of the company, said the same persons who filed the FCC application In January 1977 are still supporting the venture. Those Include such well-known Santa Feans as Abe Silver, part-owner of the Guarantee clothing store on the Plaza, and Mike Runnels, former city councilor and son of the late Rep. Harold Runnels. Other persons In New Mexico Media include Lee Brown, Jim Richdale, Art Jaramlllo, Ormande Ortega and Joff Pollon. Scanlon has estimated that It will take 21.25 million to get the television station in operation.

Spokesmen for both companies which, by the way, are not competing against each other say their proposals offer something new and needed for Santa Fe. "I think there Is a real need for some kind of alternative programing and I think people are saying that clearly," says Trumbly, noting the great" response from Christian contributors. And Scanlon pointed out that Santa Fe Is one of only two state capitals In the United State that doesn't have Its own television station. "I see no reason why Santa Fe shouldnt have a station and I see no reason why a capital shouldnt have Its own voice, he said.
