Battle over educational TV pits NET PBS and Big Eight
The piece charts a national clash in educational television from Ford Foundation support to NET and PBL factions. It notes eight major stations balk at funding and proposes memos urging smaller outlets to wither, while coverage highlights 59 ETV stations airing a Fidel Castro Cuba documentary amid a war of memos and power. The Los Angeles incident follows a stuntman leaping 84 feet, saved by a lifesaving net and cardboard crash area after a 70 mph impact.
