COLUMBIA (No.) Tribune


WE are getting little weary Of the sole
- tous efforts of those who are trying to
save us from pay television. particularly of
the efforts Of the partisan presidents Of the
television networks and their propaganda
lists. By whose appointment have they be-
come custodians of our right to pay for
something we want to buy and of the pro-
to bring il to us? How have they acquired
exclusive possessio1f~of the knowledge Of
what is good for US and what isn't?
We are getting little weary of the as
sumption that we have only a choice Of pay
television or free television. DO all of the
free teleyision stations and networks plan
to give up the ghost in the face Of pay tele-
vision competition? DO they all have 50
little confidence in the quality of what they
are giving away that they are going to 20
out Of business rather than face competi-
ton Of those WHO are going to charge for
their services?
Unlike the network presidents we doanot
profess to know all Of the answers We.cant
be sure that the pay programs will be bet
ter than the free ones We don't know
whether they will make enough money to
stay in business. We don't know whether
pay televison would produce a competitive
situation that would bring free television
programs of better or poorer quality
But we do know where to find the answer
- by putting pay televison on the air along

ing the week ended June 2s to a
