If you listed no programs in type categories 1, 2, 3, or 4 (instructional programs) do you plan to produce any in the future? If so, please elaborate briefly: We are providing programming services to specialized audiences, in a general way. To explain: We carry the weekly program "Sixty Plus" from WOI in Ames, Iowa, specifically aimed at older people; we have begun broadcasting recordings of books, plays and other material originally recorded for the blind-a cooperative effort with the Blind Division of the Multnomah County Library in Portland; we frequently do programs in cooperation with physicians and other professionals, using them as expert resource people for conveying technical information to the general public.

We plan to increase the number and range of such services as we are able to come to conclusions with various agencies, professions, etc. regarding the kinds of services radio can most effectively provide. Currently we are in conversation with the Northwest Regional Educational Research Laboratory in Portland, which serves the states of Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana and Alaska, regarding broadcasts we can produce not only for airing on our own stations, but for syndication throughout the NW Lab's region of responsibility. We also are looking toward the time when we can multiplex our FM station in Portland so that we can provide specialized auxiliary services by means of "closed-Circuit" radio. Medical and paramedical instruction, technical, vocational and other types of instruction, needs for which still must be more thoroughly explored, would constitute the main portion of this kind of service.

We have in the planning stage the formation of a statewide radio network (FM) by means of which we would be able to: (1) link population centers around the state for purposes of educational, cultural and public affairs broadcasting; and (2) effect general communications functions between specific towns of a region; and draw on areas of the state heretofore unable to make contribu tions to our total programming efforts.
