The station's
color film processor, a Filmline ME-4, was installed in the fall of 1966. The
16 millimeter Etachrome process enabled the station to air news film virtually
100 percent in color henceforth eliminating late newsfilm that of necessity was
in black and white before the installation of the color processor. A second unit
was added in the summer of 1969 as the news operation continued its growth. The
quick processing equipment in conjunction with newly installed Magna-Tech highspeed
audio transfer equipment enables the station to air late newsfilm within 25 minutes
of receipt of the raw film at the station. |
