undoubtedly suffer similar fates Truth' fully we would rather be a live casualty than a dead hero Furthermore pride and disappoint ment notwithstanding we are not going to be a party to makingg Central Kentucky a guinea pig this time even with the fine co- operation and wishful thinking of the many interested parties we oelieve an acceptable area-wide UHF television service from Lex ington would be an economic im position on everyone concerned In addition to the tremendous in vestment required initially we were prepared to sustain sizable operating losses before beginning to realize any return on the in vestment We know the viewing public was prepared to collectively spend millions to convert andor purchase sets for UHF reception we were convinced of the permanent long-term value oi area-wide UHF telecasting in light of possible high powered high towered VHF developments both we and the public would be making sound investments As it is we prefer to take our loss and save ycur money When and if in the next few months the UHF picture improves or this area is granted a VHF channel we will reactivate our plans and proceed in confidence history of our efforts to say nothing of the money we have already invested to date in trying to make an acceptable UHF service a reality is ample testimony we hope to our sincerity of purpose and unflagging determination to some day bring you the kind of television this area deserves would be remiss if we did not gratefully acknowledge and openly thank both personally and on behalf of the viewing public our many friends both within and without the broadcast industry who have given so freely of their time and advice in counseling with us on these matters "We are confident the facts and information they furnished will save all concerned even greater disappointment than we now suffer and that the final result will be an adequate acceptable television service of which we may all be proud FCC Is Praised "The co-operation and understanding of the Federal Communications Commission certainly deserves the appreciation WLAP-TV has had the pleasure of working with more than 200 television set dealers and distributors tnroughout the area in an effort to plan and effectuate the best in UHF "television installation and ei vice This decision to await developments until television viewers in this area can be certain of their reception and investment will be equally as disappointing to them but we know they will be the first to recognize and support the fairness and advisability of such a decision We appreciate their understanding in the matter Last but not least we are grateful to the thousands of our friends who have written called and talked to us always expressing interest and encouxagement in connection with our efforts is raid that hard work helps person to forget disappointments While awaiting developments our extra effort and hard work will be directed toward building and bringing to our many friends
