Pay TV schemes warned against by industry leader
Harold E. Fellows of the National Association of Radio and Television Broadcasters warned Kansas City region broadcasters that promoters of pay television pose a threat to free broadcasting. He said Congress should decide, as FCC considers pay TV applications, that programs should remain free after set purchase. The meeting included Missouri, Iowa, Minnesota, North Dakota and eastern South Dakota broadcasters. Officials projected ad spending could reach 13.6 billion in 1965, up four billion from current levels, if conditions hold. Thad H. Brown warned about possible Defense Department control of channels for military uses.
