Lem Truesdel BobSaggese efcMattljews State offers nudist discount MURFREESBORO Term (AP) State officials want to draw people to Tennessee with a summer promotional campaign but travelers may be exposed to more than they bargained for if they use a state-offered discount coupon for a nudist camp Along with some 350 hotels restaurants campgrounds and historic sites listed in an advertising supplement distributed recently in various newspapers statewide is a listing for the Rock Haven Family Nudist Camp near Murfreesboro The advertising supplement was cosponsored by the Tennessee Department of Tourism and bottlers of Coca-Cola The coupon offers 20 percent off camping and lodging fees at the nudist camp seven niiles southeast of Murfreesboro state contacted us It was their idea to include us They wrote asking if we wanted to be in it" Harold Holliday the camp owner said Tuesday licensed like everybody The 14-year-oW camp claims 400 members from several states 12 PRICE "REVENUES went down at Channel 47 because of that I could see the writing on the wan and took a Job with a Warner Robins radio station after about 14 At the end of 1953 WNEX radio bought out shares in Channel 47 and changed the call letters to WNEX-TV the following March But little more than a year and a debt of almost a quarter of a million dollars later WNEX threw in the towel and asked the FCC for permission to seU the TV station The new owners were EK Cargill and JC Barnes Sr Cargill a former president of WMAZ radio was active in real estate and had operated the 41 Drive-in Theatre Barnes owned 75 percent of the station while Cargill held die remainder The FCC granted control of Channel 47 to the new owners in May 1955 and gave them the call letters WOKA-TV once they agreed to assume the liabilities But in less than a month the management issued a short statement that WOKA-TV would suspend operations temporarily and was expected to return to the air in two or three weeks It never did the station was sold I was owed for several months worth of work" Truesdel said new owners soon filed for bankruptcy and I wound up getting only about 10 cents for every dollar I was The call letters WETV were reassigned And after remaining vacant for several years the former studio was occupied by Pet Miik Co But after Pio Nono was widened and Eisenhower Parkway was built nearby the building was demolished But television was here to stay HS GOODRICH was an engineer when WETV signed on course we had no color programming back he said was in Mack and white Goodrich who still lives in Macon said most serious problem I faced as engineer was the breakdown of equipment UHF was a new system and all the bugs had not been worked out of the transmitting system We spent a lot of time on afterhours Goodrich spent about 10 months at Channel 47 before taking an engineering position at WMAZ-TV which like a better Channel 13 took more than employees from 47 The newer station quickly became dominant had been in business as a radio station for years so they had the Jump on them" Truesdel said WETV was a UHF station which was quite new at the time Most of the UHF stations back then were not sue-cessful" Saggese who spent 28 years in radio and television agreed killed Channel 47 was the competition When our salesmen went to a potential sponsor they were asked what percent of the viewing market had been converted to UHF When the salesman answeid 80 percent the sponsor replied that WMAZ could boast 100 percent of the market since no sets had to be converted to receive Channel
