520 |a In early 1985, one of the new television channels resulting from the expansion of the Fort Smith TV Cable Company was allocated to Westark Community College (WCC). In July, a task force was appointed to develop recommendations regarding programming, policies, staffing, equipment, physical location, and organizational location. This report presents the findings and recommendations of the task force. After chapter 1 describes the acquisition of the channel by WCC, chapter 2 reviews college and task force activities to date. Chapter 3 looks at options for the use of the channel, including professionally produced telecourses, the establishment of an on-campus studio, local production by contract, and production with portable equipment, message board, and satellite programming. Chapter 4 presents the task force recommendations, related to: (1) major reliance on telecourses; (2) local production in television station studios; (3) production with portable equipment; (4) 24-hour use of a message board; (5) satellite programming; (6) delay of channel sharing; (7) limited public access; and (8) professionally produced features. After chapter 5 considers promotion and marketing issues, chapter 6 reports on equipment on hand, equipment installation, and additional needs; and chapter 7 addresses staffing needs for a television coordinator, technical assistant, and maintenance technician. Finally, chapter 8 reviews State Board of Higher Education policy and chapter 9 looks at the possibility of expansion to other cable systems, A resource list that includes producers/distributors and professional organizations is appended.
