Legislature Vote Sets E TV Funding Path in 1973 75
Des Moines AP reports the Iowa House passed a measure directing the Iowa Educational Radio-Television Network to expand statewide coverage before boosting production. The bill appropriates 1.373 million for 1973-74 and 1.772 million for 1974-75, with funds allocated to HQ operations transmitters and production plus setaside for Channel 27 Sioux City and Channel 36 southwest Iowa. It also adds 10 thousand to share educational programs with commercial stations in areas not reached by the network. The broader budget debate involves keeping 30 million in general funds rather than sending it to road use tax, affecting potential cuts to county aid and other programs.
