About 450,000 homes will be getting a clearer picture now that KVIE's transmitter has been shifted from the foothills near Placerville to Walnut Grove, according to KVIE general manager Arthur Paul. KVIE was off the air for two weeks while the shift was being made. The educational station is now sharing transmission facilities on a 1,540 foot tower with commercial channels 3, 10 and 13.

Because it can now send out a stronger signal, said Paul, KVIE will try to include the interests of more communities around Sacramento in locally produced programs. "Monday Magazine," for example, will focus on both local and regional problems. Paul said KVIE will be able to reach parts of 26 Northern California counties and some 560,000 families. When the transmitter was near Placerville, the station could only reach about 15 counties and 100,000 families. The reason for poor reception from the old transmitter, said Paul, was that most viewers had their antennas Sierra Club Raps Public Land Law Review Report NORDEN, Nevada Co.

Directors of the 100,000 member group opposed the report during a weekend meeting in a lodge at the summit of Donner Pass in the Sierra, and said a rebuttal is planned. A statement said the Sierra Club considers "the majority of premises underlying the Public Land Law Review Commission report are antienvironmental, blatently in favor of exploitative development of resources, and antithetical to societal interests. "The club plans to rebut the unsatisfactory conclusions of the report and will declare alternative views," the statement said. The Land Law Review Commission recommended in June after a six-year study that Congress be given increased authority over 775 million acres of publicly owned land in what would virtually be rewriting of all federal land laws.

KVIE's financial manager James Casper says the station's potential viewing audience has increased by about 1.2 million people "putting us in the 23rd largest television market in the nation for the first time." Before the shift, KVIE ranked below the 150th market in audience size. The moving operation, according to Paul, cost the station about $250,000. The US Department of Health, Education and Welfare granted the station $142,000. The rest came from viewer donations.
