FROM: TOMMY WALKER RE: OUR APPLICATJLUN On November 1, 1978, the FCC formally accepted our application for an FM station at 91.5 mHz. According to Mr. Martin Levy of the Broadcast Bureau we should receive our construction permit around the end of 1978- early 1979 (45 to 60 days from the date of acceptance). The Commission may question some of the programming as proposed in the application, however, I can easily amend said programming. Many new ideas are being tried on KULV-on campus radio. On campus KULV will continue to evolve. I urge all CSUN Senators and students alike to listen to the on campus station at every opportunity, as this is a very important time for our radio station project. Please feel free to give me your input on anything to do with the station. I am available from 9-5, Monday thru Friday in room 307 of the Union, phone 739-3877. I wish to thank the CSUN Senate for its support. All of you presently holding office have been (and will be) instrumental in the radio station project. Once again, Thanks, and let's all look forward to KULV-FM in 1979'
