Ted Gamble, presidgnt, an
nounced the purchase of a quar

development of complete color
television studios for KOIN-TV,
Channel 6.
Gamble said the new Dronertv

the ground area available in
KOIN for radio and television
operations."
Howard Lane, managing direc
tor of KOIN-TV. said the added
space would be utilized as soon
as Port-and and its environs had
a sufficient number of color tele

The station has been broad

the future, color television will
also - oriiginate in the local stu
