"I'm responsible", explains Brother Peters, "for the day to day news operation at TV-36 . . . what we put on the air and how we do it. In September, we'll hit the airwaves with news and once we're underway with that programming, we look forward to expanding into Public Affairs. There are already two established news operations in Charlotte and obviously you can only cover the news in so many ways. The difference can be in the presentation and at TV-36 we intend to do this in our own unique and informative style. Starting a news operation from scratch has its definite advantages. Everything we'll do will be first class . . . from the new equipment, to the news set, to the team of professionals we are now hiring. We clearly intend to be competitive."
