FM station will replace KUOK
By LORRAINE JOHNSON Kansan Staff Reporter
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has granted a construction permit to the University of Kansas for a noncommercial educational FM broadcast station. Elizabeth Czech, associate professor of journalism, said Thursday.
The FM station will replace KUOK, the student-operated station which now is on a carrier line and reaches a maximum of 3,000 students in residence halls. According to the FM station, there have be a broadcast radius of about five miles and have a maximum audience of 60,000.
Czech said equipment for the station would be installed in June or July and program testing would begin the first two weeks in August. The station will begin official broadcasting at the beginning of the fall semester.
The call letters KUOK can't be used for the new station because they belong to a ship at sea. Crasch said she has submitted five different call sign suggestions to the
"Our preferred call letters, the ones we hope to get, are KUSV for Kansas University Student Voice." Czech said. She said changing the call letters could be for the best because the station was trying for a different image.
Czech said one kind of program the station hoped to develop was a telephone show. She said the station would have a computer and calls return in an ask the guests questions.
"Some phone shows are simply grye sessions. We intend for it to be a more suggested-solutions kind of thing." Czech said.
"I think it (the station) will help build more of a sense of community," she said. "I see it as a town hall of the air for the University. We want professors involved, but we want it predominately to be for the students."
The station also plans to have a Western Civilization review program every Sunday night. Czech said somebody students might be able to listen and listen to a large lecture class on radio.
The FM station will have a big effect on the University, and also on the students working at the station. Czech said the students would show more responsibility and take the programming more seriously. Croyd-oid. "Some students, I would say

half, have tried to be professional, even though it was only carrier current, but the other half still have the attitude of well, it'll be hard for us to we make mistakes they ill think is funny."
Czech said she could tell some students were working harder already because they knew they would be reaching the town and representing the community.
Czech said the station probably would be on the air from six in the morning to 12 midnight. During the testing period it will broadcast about four hours an evening.
The station can have commercials, but hopes to raise some money from grants from local merchants. In this case, after a program it would be announced that part of the broadcast was funded by a grant from a certain business. Czech said.
Czech began the effort to get an FM station two years ago. She said a big step

He said that the administration had recommended that there be an increase in the number of hours classrooms in Summerfield were used. The idea is that some classrooms could be freed for office space if more classes were scheduled in fewer classrooms. He said that since every classroom was used from 7:30 to 5:20 every day,
He said now he would be glad to have students on the computer planning group. Shankel said there were temporary plans in Summerfield sometime after June 1.
