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.
