Abstract | The Advisory Committee on Public Radio was appointed in June 1978 by the president of the University of North Carolina (System) to study North Carolina's FM radio facilities and to make recommendations to the North Carolina Task Force on Public Telecommunications, a group appointed earlier that year by the governor. The Advisory Committee, chaired by Wesley H. Wallace of the Department of Radio, Television, and Motion Pictures at the university's Chapel Hill campus, was soon given the additional responsibility of fulfilling the university system's obligation, under an act of the General Assembly, to "design, plan, and implement a statewide public FM radio network." These documents include correspondence, memoranda, minutes, reports, and expense accounts of the Advisory Committee on Public Radio, as well as audiocassette recordings of some meetings. Also included are informational materials produced and distributed by the North Carolina Task Force on Public Telecommunications. |
