National Academy of Television Receiver Owners Proposed
Syd Cassyd, founding chair of the Emmy Academy, proposed a National Academy of Television Receiver Owners of America to act as a service group.

He questions how the public benefits from $1,000 TV sets and calls for organized receiver owners to influence the industry.
