Show KGSU transfers to stereo sound in local area CEDAR CITY. KGSU FM, the radio voice of Southern Utah State College, is now broadcasting in stereo, the result of a $135,000 grant from the National Telecommunications Information Agency. Found at 90.1 megaherytz on the radio dial, KGSU FM broadcasts broad-casts daily (eexcept Sundays) from 1 p.m. to 1 a.m. "Our purpose . is to provide the campus and i community with the most current educational and public service broad casting as well as the r finest in classical, easy listening and contemporary con-temporary music," station manager Lance Jackson said. The NTIA grant provided for a stereo transmitter, audio console and stereo cartridge car-tridge player for the SUSC radio station along with monitoring equip ment and other minor pieces of electronic gear. About $90,000 was used to equip the SUSC television which is now in operation in the college library. The TV station will broadcast on cable in the near future. Another $70,000 has been received from NTIA, part of which will be used to boost the power of the radio station and move its transmitter off campus to a hilltop location. When the move is made, Jackson said, the service area of the station will be greatly increased. |
