KWAX expansion planned The University’s Division of Broadcast Services and Televised Instruction has received a $35,045 grant from the Educational Broadcasting Facilities Program of the U.S. Office of Education for the expansion of KWAX. The grant, with matching funds of $11,682 from the University, will provide $46,727 for conversion of the station to full stereo capacity and raise the power to 20,000 watts. KWAX is currently operating on 400 watts. The increase in power, according to John Shepherd, director of the division, means that KWAX will reach the mid-Willamette Valley as far as Salem and up the McKenzie River Valley. Under the expansion, the Division will move strongly to provide sophisticated services to students, faculty, and the broader public. The change represents a new phase in broadcasting for the University, Shepherd said. Some of the programming will now be directed to appeal to the larger audience. For instance, broadcasting of opera will be possible and it may be that broadcasting of Metropolitan Opera productions can be arranged. KWAX will continue to be operated as a professional station. Students will be hired to operate all board shifts, except for one that will be utilized as a training shift for students in the Division’s instructional-training program. The new set-up will provide over 30 students with the kinds of training they want, Shepherd said.
