The Cable TV Board approved the purchase of a color monitor/receiver, reviewed the differences in quality between 1/2" and 3/4" tape with an eye towards using 1/2" in the future, discussed the possible future purchase of a Scientific-Atlanta Model 6350 modulator (estimated cost: $1,700) to be placed in the High School to originate programming, and also reviewed blueprints for the construction of the studio facility

October

Fran Bradley of the South Hills Cable TV Company makes a suggestion to the Board that a course in television should be introduced into the high school curriculum, and if a great deal of interest is shows perhaps a club could be formed.  This is the first mention that we have found of what would eventually become the PTHS Video Club and the Media Department at the High School!
