PBS Satellite Plan Promises Wider Public TV Access
PBS plans a $36.4 million move to a four satellite transmission network to replace ground lines. The system would beam programs to a satellite, then to 264 public stations, enabling three programs at once, cheaper operation, and expanded regional and special programming while Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands gain nationwide coverage. PBS and the CPB cite cost savings and scheduling flexibility as key benefits pending FCC approval.

Williams Absorbed In Character Of Dr. King
Billy Dee Williams speaks of becoming King in the stage role and describes a mystical urge as he prepared. He plans a ten week tour for Have a Dream with Ford's Theater debut in Washington, D.C. Coretta King and Robert Greenwald support the project with Josh Greenfield adapting Harry and Tonto. Williams studied film and speeches to portray King as a human, not a saint, seeking honest interpretation.
