Navy Installs New TV Equipment;
Plan For More Live Programming
Television viewers on Kodiak Is
land are now enjoying excellent re
ception in most areas due to the
installation of new equipment at
Armed Forces Radio and Televi
sion Service here.
The Station recently received
more than $24,000 worth of equip
ment. Among the new appliances
installed are three television cam
eras, three projectors and a tele
vision control panel.
In 1957 the television studio was
added to Armed Forces Radio
Service — the first military radio
station in Alaska, established in
1941. Most of the materials used to
set up the first television station
had become a constant mainte
nance problem. Many parts needed
for repairs were difficult or im
possible to obtain.
rhe modern equipment just in
stalled is equal or superior to fa
cilities at many commercial tele
vision stations.
AFRTS currently has one live
program going—a 30-minute fea
hire comprised of news, sports, and
a weather summary. Plans are be
ing formulated for more live pro
gramming as soon as sufficient
personnel are available.
The Station will institute a chil
dren’s program Monday at 4:40
p.m., and a physical fitness show
within the next several weeks.
Six sailors are assigned to the
station currently. Isaiah Solomon,
Jr., journalist third class, Earle E.
Brown, Jr., airman, John A. Wenz
ler, airman, and Richard M. Rose,
seaman apprentice, serve as an
nouncers and control operators—
in addition to other duties. William
Jungwirth electronic technician
third class, and Richard M. Muri
son, airman, are the technicians
assigned.
Officer in Charge of AFRTS is
Lieutenant (jg) Marvin Boom
gaarden. Chief Journalist Fred
Rich is station manager.
