No Immediate Urgency For ETV Legislation
Gov Reed received a letter from FCC Chair Newton Minow saying there is no immediate urgency to preserve channels in Maine for a statewide educational television network. Translators could serve eastern Maine at $40,000 to $100,000, versus $100,000 to $500,000 for a satellite channel. A special session to resolve the ETV question remains undecided after the last session failed to fund a statewide network.
