Other features, such as the morning newscast and the game show "Destination," didn't last long. At its peak, local programming reached 60 percent, although 40 percent was the more lasting amount. Meanwhile, creditors were circling and threatening to repossess equip ment that first year. "One creditor was going to come down and take our cameras," Blocker said.

"They were like sharks waiting to collect." And some scary things were happening inside the studio. "One night a studio tech plugged the cable into the wall and because of faulty wiring it blew him completely across the room," Blocker said. "We thought he was dead." A Fire Department medical team revived the studio tech. But about 11 months after joining Channel 62 Blocker left the station under a doctor's advice. He went to work on former Secretary of State Richard Austin's Senate campaign.

A helping hand "The first year we didn't think we a better salary somewhere else." Gregory says the station started making money during its eighth year, and her father was looking to buy a cafeteria to train youngsters in the food services. But Banks died in his sleep Aug. 24, 1985, at the age of 82. The CBS factor Gregory was made general manager of the station. Ivy Banks, believing herself to be the highest-ranking Mason, planned on running the organization.

Banks' authority was challenged in the courts by 46 Masons led by Niagara Falls accountant George Mathews. The courts ruled in Mathews' favor, and both Banks and Gregory left Channel 62 and the Masons. In 1986, Ivy Banks sued the Masons for $1.3 million for repayment of loans and compensation for services rendered going back to 1973. "I could have tied it up for years, but I didn't want to spend my life fighting him," Ivy Banks said. "I settled for what I thought they could raise.

I didn't want to hurt the station, because I knew how much my husband loved it, and I too." Mathews' early promise to raise the ratings of the station hasn't been realized. Nor has Channel 62 taken any radically different course. Mathews' tenure seems to have been quiet management of the were going to be able to keep the doors open," says Gregory. "There were weeks I didn't get paid or my father didn't get paid." Banks kept things going by turning to the religious community that helped build the Masons and their radio sta After the first couple of years, things settled down. If 62 wasn't a major player at least it was a known entity.

status quo. That changed this year when a TVshakeupinthe area was started after Channel 2 dropped its CBS affiliation to join the Fox network. The Masons have sold Channel 62 to CBS for $24 million pending FCC approval.

Maybe the story ends there.

The first African-American-owned-and-op-erated TV station lasted for 19 years. It broke the way for others there are 19 African-American-owned TV stations in the United States today and sent a number of young broadcasters on their way to successful careers. It's possible also that CBS, with the first African-American network president, Jonathan Rodgers, could keep the memory alive, though the network has no solid plans to do that. "The commemoration part of it is real important," says the Museum of African American History's Kimberly Camp. "I feel more proprietary about property and objects than businesses.

They should at least keep the artifacts so that the commemoration can continue. But relinquishing control is a real important issue to look at, particularly in the communications industry." Camp says that the Masons could use the funds from the sale to do any number of things in the African-American community. She points to the recent sale of Barden Cablevision to Comcast, and Don Barden's $100-million printing plant investment in the southwest African country of Namibia. But Mathews' answer to questions about the Masons' plans for the sale money was: "We don't do business in the media." Maybe the story doesn't end there. There is an effort by African-American ministers and businessmen led by Ferguson to buy the station.

The Ferguson group doesn't have legal grounds to oppose the sale, but they think Channel 62's historical importance and the FCC's commitment to diversity may help them sway the government agency to not approving the sale to CBS. However it turns out, the next chapter in the history of Channel 62 will be vastly different from its past. tion. Rather than producing shows that cost money, he sold time to other producers who wanted to be on the air. In addition to local ministries, national missions such as Jerry Falwell's and Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker's "700 Club" found places at Channel 62.

"The growth of the electronic ministries had just begun," said Channel 62 program director Joe Spencer. "The market was expanding, and they were willing to buy air time." While Channel 62 was paying the bills and learning the TV business, viewers were changing channels. The station's early ratings fell off the charts. And with it went most of the big-name advertising. "I remember George White being so upset one day, really offended because he couldn't get Stroh's beer to advertise on the station," Makupson said.

"He thought is was unconscionable as much Stroh's beer as black people drink." Offers to buy the station started coming in almost as soon as WGPR was on the air. Gregory remembers Lansing businessman Joel Ferguson made an offer early on and would call from time to time to say he was still interested. A Canadian group made an offer that was refused. Ivy Banks, the founder's widow, says a $40-million offer came from a New York group. ''Dr.

Banks would not have sold it at any price," Ivy Banks said. "That's what he always told the buyers." After the first couple of years, things settled down. If Channel 62 wasn't a major player at least it was a known entity. The staff was getting more professional and as they did they moved on to better-paying jobs elsewhere. Channel 62 made peace with the fact that its impact on broadcasting would be to funnel African Americans into the business.

"Dr. Banks never wanted to hold anybody back," Ivy Banks said. "He was happy for them. He knew that they could get Radio's Magnificent 7 open line; Fit, baker Linda Clawson shares recipes. Mud Pie Cafe, 6:30 p.m.
