SLET'S BE PRESUMPTUOUS!
LET'S SUPPOSE:
1—Your school has a restricted budget
BUT |
2—Your school is hankering for an
FM educational broadcasting station—
AND
3—Your school and community
have talented people—people
eager to learn how to plan, write,
and produce educational radio programs
THEN
MORE POWER TO YOU ——
a
Let’s begin with a low-cost low-power broadcast station in the educational FM broadcast band.
To develop a low-cost FM radio station
Let’s take first things first—
You will need this equipment:
Program-Control Consolette .......... from $500 to $600
Microphones and Stands.........--- " 400 " 500
1 FM-fidelity Recording Equipment ....... “900 “ 1200
Recorded-Program Reproducing Equipment Hae = 550
Program-Monitoring & Talk-Back Equipment “ 300 " 475
Studio Signal-Lights & Control Relays... " 50 " 75
Patch-Strips, Cords, Wiring, Etc. ....... “ 500 " 600
—or a total of approximately ...... from $3,000 to $4,000
and—Cost of partitioning, heating, ventilating, sound-
treating, lighting, and wiring the space, in an exist-
ing building, fora studio and = —_—__—_
GGG TOOM 6 SS es from $1,500 to $3,000
OE ee ee ne a ape an NIE a
totaling for basic program-production facilities, from $4,500 to $7,000
You won't need—in the beginning—
Either—an actual broadcast transmitter
Or—a program director
Assuming, of course, that you have an average
number of enthusiastic amateur producers, writers,
and directors on your faculty—
NOW you will have all the equipment necessary for a top-
flight radio workshop for writing, producing, and
sending out programs to all your classrooms.

THEN—More Power for School-Community Relationships !
You can add a transmitter!
The new 10-watt FM transmitters, now being offered the
school market, range in price from about $1,500 to $3,000.
Operating expenses will cost you from $5,000 to $15,000
a year—depending on how much free labor you get from
voluntary sources.
Especially worthy of note:
You can cover a 7 to 10 mile radius with your 10-watt
transmitter. This becomes your radio community.
Applicants for the 10-watt FM stations are not re-
quired to submit the considerable technical data
required for a full-power station.
None of the equipment needed for your low-power
FM station will become obsolete or unnecessary when
your station is increased to full power. All you'll
have to do then is to add new power stages and
accessory equipment, as your needs require.
You can go on the air any number of hours you wish.
You can go off the air on all holiday and vacation
periods. —F
