Abstract: It was the purpose of the study to investigate the feasibility of employing cable television in the Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Public Schools. Relevant literature and research findings were reviewed concerning the nature and educational benefits of television as instructional television, educational television, closed-circuit television and cable television. It was concluded that the use of cable television in the Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools could be of educational benefit to the system. Present status of television in the Winston-Salem/Forsyth County school system was analyzed, and estimated cost figures for various proposed CATV configurations in the Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Public Schools were presented. Problems associated with the use of instructional television in the schools were discussed, and possible economies and benefits deriving from the use of cable television in the Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools were enumerated. The concept of feasibility was defined through investigation of the physical, legal, pedagogical, administrative, technical, economic, and political aspects involved in the employment of cable television in the Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Public Schools.
