Show Corporation Formed To Bring TV To Area Formation of a corporation and' pledging of sufficient money to place the order for television equipment for the Roosevelt-Myton area was annuonced this week after a second pubile meeting on securing TV for Roosevelt. A five-man committee heads the Uintah Basin Television Corporation, Corpora-tion, with R. Earl Dillman as president; Bill Linck, Myton may-, or, as vice president; Ken Aycocki as secretary-treasurer, and Franl Harrison and Cliff Memrnott as board members. vv At Tuesday night's meeting, TV advocates pledged more than $1,500, the amount needed to order equipment, which will cost the corporation and TV set owners own-ers an estimated $15,000 to bring in two Salt Lake City channels. . The equipment, offered by Adler Electronics, Inc., consists of an antennnae proposed for Tabiona Mountain, another near Myton and a "translator-transmitter" station near Roosevelt. The translator-transmitters, translator-transmitters, one for each channel, chan-nel, automatically beam out the telecasts over a fan-shaped area out from Roosevelt. The $15,000 cost would have to be paid by set owners, probably 'by a basic installation charge. For instance, if 200 persons in the area installed TV sets, each setj owner's share would be $75. i Thereafter, a very small, charge per set, perhaps as low as $1.00 to $1.50 per month, depending on the number of set owners. Another An-other possibility, to cut down much of the initial and opera- j tional costs, is a plan to contact TV stations for possible help. I The manufacturers' representatives representa-tives have promised clear reception recep-tion in the Roosevelt-Myton area with the units. The translator-transmitter translator-transmitter units were only recently re-cently freed for' public sale by the Federal Communications Commission. |
