V Station At UNC Will
Go On Air January I

CHAPEL. HuL-After January

When the States first education
al television station announced
recently that it would begin daily
telecasts January 4 perhaps few
people realized that it meant the
fruitful elimination of over two
Years. WORK.
The story starts back in June
of 1852 when $50 deans, directors
and administrators from the Uni
yersity III Chapel Hill, Woman's
College in Greensboro, and State
College in Raleigh and represen-
tatives of other groups gathered
here in a two-day conference to
consider What educational teleW-
sion might mean to the people of
North Carolina.
At the conference WUNC-TV
was conceived. The conferees
approved the general idea of US
ing televlsion to further extend
the benefits of the University to
the people of North Carolina and
an all-University Council was ap-
pointed 20 inventory program re-
sources and make recommended
tions about the activation OF a
University station.
On May IL, 1858 that idea was
approved by the University trus-
tees. Acting OF the advice of the
TV council and the recommended
ton of University administration,
the executive committee of the
trustees gave the go-ahead signal.
Formal application was made to
the Federal Communications
Commission on June 1, 1858 to
secure WIFI Channel 4.
PERMIT GRANTED
On September 80, 1853 the Fed
eral Communications Commission
granted the University construc-
ton permit, which sanctioned the
University's construction of a
100, ,000-watt transmitter with
studios in Chapel Hill. Raleigh
and Greensboro.
One Of the major problems was
locating a site for the transmitter
that would service equally well
the three studios. After several
months search, in January, 1854
a suitable spot was located. The
University purchased 5-acre
tract Oil Terrell's Mountain in
Chatham County, a spot some 750
teet above sea level-250 feet
higher than Chapel Hill-and be-
gan plans for the erection of the
transmitting tower.
