KPCW has new home; TV is around the corner by Nan Chalat KPCW, Park City's community radio station, is now broadcasting from its new home in the Marsac Municipal Building. And an accompanying accom-panying TV information channel may be on the air by Monday, said Station Director Blair Feulner. The TV programming will be aired on cable channel 8 and VHF channel 9. "Depending on where you are in town it won't need a sophisticated antennae. Rabbit ears should do it," said Feulner, who added that some UHF antennae also pick up VHF signals. . Now, lest you start flipping the dial looking for Feulner, Dan Wilcox and David Fleisher in full anchorman makeup and bright lights, Feulner warns that the station is starting with simple word graphics to accompany KPCW's regular audio programming. program-ming. The display on the screen will look a little like a teletype offering local news, road and ski conditions. By the end of the week Feulner said he hopes to be able to add a series of slides "to make it more visually interesting." The Chamber of CommerceVisitors and Convention Conven-tion Bureau will loan the station approximately 120 slides a week depicting local scenery, he said. If all goes well with these preliminary steps, Feulner said "we will try a low-tech version of Good Morning America with head shots of the people we are interviewing." After that Feulner anticipates calling for a public meeting to ask for volunteers with television production experience to evaluate the com munity's interests. It is like the start of the radio station all over again. But with TV it's scary because of the resources you need in order to do it right," said Feulner. In order to produce locally-originated programming he estimates the station will have to invest $00,000 to $70,000 in equipment. In the meantime, the radio station is settling into its new quarters on the north end of the ground floor at Marsac. The new location provides the station with double the studio space, said Feulner. KPCW is leasing space from the city for $1 per year for five years. The station's phone number, 649-9004, is unchanged and the offices, which are still in the Memorial Building, will be moved to Marsac next week. |
