KBHU schedules program change

From The Black Hills Anemone Today, November 6, 1974:

KBHU recently added ‘Clayton’s Corner’ to its regular programming schedule.

The program, aired for the first time last week, is on the talk show format and consists of an informative discussion with special guests by the show’s host Clayton Jones. The program is aired Tuesday evenings, 9:30 p.m.

In reference to his program, Jones notes, “I’m looking forward to producing the show and hope it will be a success. The feedback the station receives on the show may make a difference on the type of format I have.” Jones turned over his regular disc jocky duties with the station for his special program.

Jones said he plans to host campus fraternities, sororities, clubs and organizations as well as individuals.

Among new programs will be a bi-monthly “Rap with the Vet Rep” with Rick Soelzer, Vet Representative, airing Mondays, 4:00 p.m.

Two news shorts, “View from the 33^rd Floor” and “European Information Service,” each running approximately five minutes, feature news background and feature material from each week’s issue of “Time” magazine and news items concerning current European news. “View from the 33^rd Floor” will broadcast three times a week, Monday, Wednesday, Friday, 10:00 p.m., “European News” will only air Wednesday, 6:00 p.m.

“I would like to express our desire for feedback,” emphasized Rick Boyd, communication instruction and station advisor, “this first year we really are free to experiment with all kinds of programming.” Also campus news from club presidents, faculty and administration may be broadcast over KBHU. Students may place the news items in a box at the Student Center desk, or can call 642-4446 or 642-6737.

FM station needs student response to aid in programming

From The Black Hills Anemone Today, September 25, 1974:

KBHU, the college’s first FM radio station, went on the air officially Sept. 3. The station, housed in the AV floor of the E. Y. Berry Library-Learning Center, began preliminary testing in December.

“We have received a lot of community support as well as help from KBHB, Sturgis and KBFS, Belle Fourche,” added Richard Boyd, communications instructor and program director.

Student response is needed to present program scheduling. “We are testing various types of programming and would really appreciate comments pro or con about the station,” states Boyd. The present trial programming will be in effect the rest of this month with future scheduling on the basis of feedback from students.

Two classes, Radio and TV Speaking and Broadcasts Operations, will be working with the station as well as classwork. Students interested in working on the station should contact Richard Boyd.

Other station work includes selection and cataloging of records as well as gathering community and campus news, and designating various programs for tape.

Present programming topics include Pacem in Terris, a bi-weekly program of speeches of contemporary political figures concerning the achievement and maintenance of world peace; Man and His Music, a music supplement to the course; and Moments to Remember, for “nostalgia freaks” with music from “childhood days”.

Keith Oren serves as DJ for KBHU. The new FM station broadcasts from 4 p.m. to 12 M, seven days a week, at 89.1.

FM station will start Sept. 3

From The Black Hills Anemone Today, August 26, 1974:

Beginning Sept. 3, the Black Hills FM station will begin broadcasting.

Workmen finished construction on the station this summer and station director Rick

Boyd says that the college will broadcast eight hours a day, seven days a week, 4 p.m.-12 M.

Boyd said that any student, irregardless of experience, that is interested in being a DJ or working in the station should contact him in Library 024 or the FM station in Library 023.

The new station will operate on a frequency of 89.1 FM.

Boyd receives FCC radio permit

From The Black Hills Anemone, May 2, 1974:

Richard Boyd, communications, received the construction permit from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to begin work on the F. M. stereo radio station on campus.

Boyd said construction on the studio and transmitter antenna is now under way and hopes to begin testing equipment late this month or early June. He added that they have already sent in for call letters and should receive them around June 1.

After the equipment is hooked up and tested, it has to pass FCC inspection and then, Boyd noted, they will apply for a station license and can begin program tests.

Boyd said, “We hope to be on the air sometime this summer at reduced hours and go full programming in the fall.”

“Any student interested in working in the station in several respects should contact me,” added Boyd.

Two radio classes will be offered next fall which will work in conjunction with the station. The courses include Radio and TV Speaking and Broadcast Operations.

The station will be located at 89.1 on the F. M. dial.

FM broadcasts aid TV courses

From The Black Hills Anemone, February 1, 1974:
by Mary Ann Moon

Giving students practical experience in broadcasting is the objective in Richard Boyd's "Radio and TV Speaking" class, and they are getting it by producing programs over area FM radio stations.

Pending the grant of a license from the Federal Communications Commission to operate an FM station on campus, the class is using KBHB-FM in Sturgis to air programs.

They are taped here on campus by students, cleared by the administration, and then taken to Sturgis where KBHB manager Les Kleven decides if he can use them.

"I feel that the students do a better job if they know that the program is likely to be broadcast," Boyd stated.

A two and a half hour special on New Year's Day featuring music from the twenties to the seventies is just one of the programs that has been produced.

The class also taped the Black Hills State Christmas Concert which was used by KBFS-FM in Belle Fourche.

The 37 students are starting out doing one-minute commercials and will later move on to 15-30 minute programs.

Boyd emphasized that the students do all of the taping and broadcasting and that it is open to everyone, not just the ones in the class. Anyone interested should contact him.
