NEW EDUCATIONAL TV STATION SET UP IN SCIENCE MUSEUM A three-year contract has beesn signed by the Chicago. EdUteaitiorial Television asso«tation for space ih the Museum of Science' and industry, Dr. John W. Taylor, executive director of the association has announced. The association will set up studios and offices of WTTW, the forthcoming educational TV station on Channel 11, in the east wing of the museum, Dr< Taylor reported. Approximately 13,000 'Square feet of space hasxbeen set aside for two studios,' each 80 by. 40 feet, a master control room, a film studio and offices of the station. The remainder of the east wing is occupied by the army. The station also will have access to a theater in the west wing of the building, Dr. Taylor said. The theater can accommodate large audiences and is equipped with a coaxial cable, t Dr. Taylor explained that WTTW will have its own entrance to the east wing for personnel and guests cf the station. Museum visitors* will have access to the station through the main museum entrance.' The studios will be glass paneled to provide an exhibit for museum patrons. "This location is a natural for Channel 11," Dr. Taylor declared. "Channel 11 and the museum can ' be of enormous help to one another -- the museum will pro- . vide an infinite variety of program resources, and we will provide the means for taking the * museum into the home of Chicago area residents." He added that visitors to the museum will provide an excellent audience for' the testing of Channel ll's programs. "These people represent a good cross-section of our prospective viewers," Jie said, "and assure WTTW of a ready-made audience at all times." Major Lenox Lohr, president of the museum and first vice-president of the Chicago Educational Television association, pointed out: "Relatively few people have an opportunity to see a television studio in operation. The establish-, ment of the Channel 11 studios here at the museum will provide our more than 2,500,000 visitors Jper ye&r with this experience. For some time we have had an exhibit on the technical aspects of television^ With the establishment of Channel 11 studios here as a s putHic. exhibit /.vflli, sl}9Jy have a television studio on display." • Edward L. Ryerson, president Of the Chicago Educational Tele- Ssion as&eiptioo/; ~ commented at WTTW' is at' natural complement to the museum because it represents the ultimate in communications.
