It plans to broadcast movies and local originated programming. The studio for Park City Home Theatre is located at the Park Meadows Plaza, according to Bob Urals, the operations owner, operator, and manager. The station is asking local subscribers to choose the programs they will see. "It's a way to program with flexibility and cost control," he said. 640-2572 Sales and Rental of Video Equipment 649-2572 1729 Sidewinder Members T.V. 48.00 VCR -$7.50 Movie -$3.00 Rent 4 movies for the price of 3 Membership - $30.00 - Lifetime New Releases Arriving Weekly Over 600 movies in store Non-Members T.V.- $10.00 VCR -$10.00 Movie -$4.50 VHS Pocket Size Video Games $39.95 Free Star Wars posters.

They were chosen by locals, from a list of 50 film titles that was sent in the mail. Urals said almost any requests for movies can be met. "We have available to us nearly every film that's been made," he said. Cost for the TV service consists of a one-time fee for installation of an antenna plus a monthly fee. With the help of volunteers, volun-teers, he said, the station could also begin developing extensive coverage of local entertainment. "We could have a ski race, or interviews inter-views at the film festival, or maybe a recording of a show at the Egyptian Theatre," he said. Viewers don't have much input into choosing the programs for such cable satellite systems as HBO and Showtime. "You try and call them sometime," Urals said. But the Park City station can receive movies on videotape video-tape directly from the National Na-tional Programming Service in San Diego. Using that firm, Urals said, "I don't know of any major film distributor we can't buy products from." $$$$ Newspaper Classified Advertising doesn't cost, IT PAYS!

The station plans to feed local news into a computer, which would display the news in a print-out basis on the TV. Home Theatre also wants to cover other local events, and is asking for non-paid workers to get the effort going. "We have to cut costs right now," he said. "In the long-term, there might be rewards for station workers, but if someone wants to volunteer initially, that's great." The Home Theatre broadcasts broad-casts on a high frequency. A home antenna will take the frequency and convert it for broadcast on local Channel 3. The antennas are only available through the sta tion, he said. Normally they cost $250 each, but the station will allow a subscriber sub-scriber to use them for the one-time installation charge of $30. The monthly subscription subscrip-tion fee is $19.95, Urals said. "So far we've only installed in-stalled a handful of antennas," an-tennas," he said. The station's sta-tion's goal is to reach 1,200 homes by the end of 1983, and to eventually cover 65 percent per-cent of the year-round residents resi-dents in the area. (KreettSnngs ffrim Dir. HBp Greetings from Dr. Bop! For better or worse (probably for worse), the New Wave and punk movements have finally caught up with Utah. Surf music can't be too far behind. Dr. Bop shouldn't be so cynical, I suppose. But look, folks, punk and New Wave had their shot way back in the '70s. Punk was too nihilistic for mass acceptance. Hard-core New Wave too eclectic. Punk is dead. Long live punk. So what are all these young turks in Salt Lake bands doing running around feebly imitating Johnny Rotten and the like? Why don't they just crank their amps back up and start playing the same old Aerosmith and Deep Purple tunes they were hacking their way through a few months ago? Why do Utah musicians have to always jump on trends so long after they're passe that it just fuels the fire of those such as Dr. Bop who maintain that the average musician in Utah is so out of touch he deserves to be stuck in a band in Utah. I'm serious, guys. Dr. Bop maintains that all these punkers come lately with their spiked orange and red Mohawk haircuts and newly-perfected sneers of social intolerance will be off chasing some other musical trend in a matter of months. It's sad, but true. Utah rock 'n' rollers should develop a clear musical identity and focus and stick by it come hell or high water (or criticism from Dr. Bop). After locking into a format that they're truly dedicated to, they should work within their chosen genre until musical tastes and trends come to them. Not the other way around. No rock musicians worth their salt play a type of music just because it's trendy. And if they do, they don't last long. Eventually their insincerity shows through. Dr. Bop believes that virtually all the so-called New Wave and punk musicians in Utah are insincere trend chasers, looking for any avenue to success. They remind Dr. Bop of all those loathsome types who quit rock bands and become K.C. and the Sunshine Band clones back in the mid-1970s when the disco plague proliferated. Disco or punk, it's still a sellout if your heart and soul aren't in it. I'm sorry, but that's the way the Dr. feels. Sue me if you don't like it. Now get outta here, you Park City punkers, before you make Dr. Bop sick. On a more friendly note even Dr. Bop has a nice side, you know I think it's important in such tough times as the 1980s to maintain our faith in the rejuvenating power of rock 'n' roll. Even though the music is now at one of its all-time low water marks, Dr. Bop can confidently assure you that eventually the music will regain the power and purpose of its bygone glory days. But it's going to have to be a grassroots explosion. In this age of flitzy, schlocky, pre-fab techno-rock we mustn't lose sight of the fact that the most important and heartfelt music never originates in some record company corporate boardroom. Or even some plush forty-eight track recording studio. Dr. Bop knows better. The real thing the sort of rock 'n' roll that reshapes contemporary culture and effects listeners profoundly always comes out of dank, dark cavelike places. Like the Cavern Club in Liverpool, England. Little more than a sweaty, smelly hole in the ground, back in the early 1960s that dive served as the breeding ground for the Beatles. They played there nearly three hundred times before becoming famous. The four mop tops endured bad equipment, terrible acoustics and the general degradation degrada-tion of playing in a hole in the ground to hone their chops and develop the soul, strength of character and commitment of purpose that allowed them to eventually set popular culture on its ear and revolutionize rock 'n' roll. Dr. Bop rests his case. Whether you knuckleheads believe me or not, the best rock 'n' roll always originates in damp and dark holes in the ground. And at this very moment, there are kids out there cranking up their cheap tube amps to the point of pure distortion and gleefully banging out the most rudimentary chord changes. Such is the stuff from whence classic rock 'n' roll comes. Yes, Dr. Bop knows for sure that in some dingy basement the next John Lennon or Elvis Presley or Eric Clapton is putting the final touches on the next big rock 'n' roll explosion. Dr. Bop believes it might even be happening in Park City. There's a big yellow ramshackle house up Park Avenue above Main Street, for instance, with one of the most classic dingy, damp rock 'n' roll basements Dr. Bop has ever had the good fortune to lay eyes on. It's the real thing. The equipment's cheap and defective. The plumbing leaks down from the ceiling, making electrocution a constant possibility as one plugs into an amplifier and avoids cascading waterfalls. The room is cold. But the tunes and the spirit that come out of that dismal crawl space are hotter than hot. Dr. Bop has heard some smoking solos come out of that cramped rock 'n' roll mecca. If you want to jam with the boys there, just look up Brooks Bloomfield (who owns all the equipment) or his roomie, Ralph Morrison. They're always happy to let the new kid in town jam. They've even been known to let Dr. Bop hack around on the guitars or drums. Such kindness is one of the most touching things that's ever happened to Dr. Bop. The only thing that touched Dr. Bop more was when they gave Dr. Bop his own radio show on KPCW 91.9 FM. Yeah, Dr. Bop couldn't believe it. They actually let Dr. Bop on the air. Now they're stuck with him. So remember always tune into the Dr. Bop show on KPCW. If you don't, you're an idiot. I mean it. So, in closing, let Dr. Bop remind you that rock 'n' roll is for the young. Or at least the young at heart. So don't get too grown up. HOLIDAY VILLAGE MALL, PARK CITY, UT - 649-6541 $1.00 Wed.
