Godsil said “We just don't have the capacity. But once the building is built, which we hope will be in April or May. we will be into local news and other localorigination programming. 'On the subject of news programming, Godsil said he does not feel compelled to follow any type of lead established bcurrent news operations“1 think they're doing an effective job. an excellent job in many areas It behooves us to do something that fills a community need perhaps in a somewhat different direction Keep in mind that Boise is a larger community, and that is where the capitol is. Much of our news attention will naturally be turned in thisBut that doesn t mean that because we look in that direction we will turn our backs on our city of license I can t see us ignoring Nampa or Caldwell, or Nyssa and Ontario, as far as that's concerned. I think there is a need for more of that type ofcoverage Because Channel 6 w ill operate on brand new equipment and because it has its ow n microwave feed from Salt Lake. viewers in this area can expect a picture “superior to anything they have been receiving up to now. the station manager said.And Channel 6 brings for the first time “full service to the area in the realm of network programming“Wherever 1 have gone, wherever 1 have cdme in contact with the viewing public. I have been greeted with open arms, Godsil .said. “I think there's a good reason for that and it does not reflect in a detrimental way on service people in this part of the state have leen receiving in the past“But when you have two stations splitting three networks, you don't have lull service Now the viewers can have it,Response from potential viewers andadvertisers has been gratifying. Godsilcontinued, saying he thought such interest puts a “healthy responsibility on Channel 6.“I think we need to reward that kind of enthusiasm by our continued interest in the communities we serve It's a real responsibility we will meet with news, public affairs and community service programming.
