NPR goes into Chapter II bankruptcy and is forced to liquidate be in very bad Corriveau acknowledges lose programs like and "All Things and Plus NPR operates the satellite system that brings us such programs as the Metropolitan Opera the Los Angeles Philharmonic and Home the loss of which would be In effect the station would be reduced to a classical and jazz juke box NPR is our network which all helped Corriveau brightens adding: members not just affiliates all got a 10- year investment in NPR and I doubt the members will let it go There are 7 million people who listen to NPR programs every week and a big chunk of If all goes the way Corriveau feels it will and the loan is secured in the immediate future for KXPR? you know been working at getting on a new tower for some Corriveau says now it appears be operating from the new facility in about 45 days The delay has been getting an agreement signed for the three stations (KXPR KAER and K108) who are going to be multiplexing into the same antenna each with its own transmitter at the base Fund-raisers have raised some $94664 toward use off that facility Comm West the tower builder wants all the leases to be the same and that involves time with attorneys It also made the lease agreement grow from a few pages to 27 pages be switching frequencies from 89 to 91 so we can increase our broadcasting power from 22900 watts to 50000 watts That should help eliminate the pockets of poor reception downtown and the annoying sound effect on car radios What about The bulk of mail sent to The Bee was largely negative when the morning news program was first broadcast on KXPR Is it going to stay? mail concerning has virtually Corriveau says an initial surge in which most of the letters were negative (Those people wanted classical music to awaken to not news features) But it's been my experience as a radio station manager that people are more likely to write if they are unhappy about something rather than (writing if they are) happy And any change in programming is expected to bring some listener complaints Now it looks as if the unhappy letters are dovetailing into positive comments and is a permanent part of the Concerning the general state of things at KXPR Corriveau observes that the funds derived from the bi- annual pledge drives are more important than ever with the financial crisis NPR is experiencing we started the station the CPB channeled federal funds amounting to 50 percent of our operating costs Now that support has dwindled to 13 percent and is likely to be even less in the future depending upon listener donations to support 60 percent of our overhead The rest comes from businesses and corporations Happily made our goals in the past two fund drives and sending out program listings to about 6500 members who donate an average of $40 a With rent-free studios at California State University Sacramento the station has 11 fulltime and six part-time employees Plus communications interns from CSUS who Corriveau says are helping make broadcasts more responsive to happening locally really at a point where things are Corriveau concludes even if forced to cut back on programming like Alive" we have other sources of such programming If NPR folds though we have no other source of current affairs and radio drama programming That would be a mortal blow to what trying to bring to the community" CD CBS News CD ABC News (CC) CD Noticiero 0) Carter Country CD Star Trek 6:30 pm MacNeil Lehrer Report CD News CD You Asked For It CD Noticiero Nacional SIN 0) One Day At A ime (ONTV) ON Sportsweek 1 7 pm Hidden Places: Where History Lives (D Merv Griffin CD Family Feud CD Soledad 0) Police Woman cdmash (ONTV) Movie Wednesday" Elizabeth Taylor Henry Fonda 7:30 pm World War I CD PM Magazine CD Trampa Para Un Sonador CD Movie Some Like It Hot" (1959) Tony Curtis Jack Lemmon 8 pm News National Geographic Special CD Archie Bunker's Place CD The Fall Guy 0) Bionic Woman 8:30 pm CD Gloria CD Mi Coloma: La Espe-ranza 9 pm Movie "Escape From Fort Bravo" (1953) William Holden Eleanor Parker Other Visions Other Voices CD Movie "Reunion" (1980) Kevin Dobson Joanna Cassidy CD Tales Of The Gold Monkey 1:45 pm (ONTV) Movie Out of Cliff Robertson Vanessa Redgrave 2 pm Another World CD Guiding Light CD General Hospital CD Los Angeles Ahora 2:30 pm Electric Company (R) CD Una Limosna De Amor 0) Spider-Man Spider-Woman 3 pm Days Of Our Lives Studio See CD Hour Magazine CD People's Court (D Al Final Del Arco Iris 0) Mighty Mouse CD Pmk Panther 3:30 pm Mister Rogers (R) CD All In The Family Scooby Doo CD Superfriends (ONTV) Movie of Friendship 4 pm News Sesame Street (R) (CC) CD California Afternoon CD Three's Company (D Quiero Gritar Nombre 0) Heckle And Jeckle CD Eight Is Enough 4:30 pm CD The Jeffersons O) Three Stooges (ONTV) Movie Show Rod Taylor 5 pm Major League All-Star Game Electric Company (R) (DCD News (D Marta Javier 0) What's Happening'!
