Owners push to sell Channel 50

B-10 The Kansas City Star Saturday, July 6, 1996 Owners push to sell Channel 50 Continued from B-1 bank loans, he said. In coming years, , Federal Communications Commission man dates for conversion to high defi tion television will add digital equipment costs of "at least $5 million" to KYFC's budget, Metsker wrote in a letter sent this week to station donors. To finance. that conversion, KYFC "would have to lay aside the majority of our efforts in youth ministry and just become a television ministry,", he wrote. "We refuse to let this happen.' Kansas City Youth for Christ operates a ministry that includes summer camps, a monthly newspaper and other elements. Metsker's father, the late Al Metsker, founded the organization in 1943. KYFC offers local programming and also airs Pat Robertson's "700 ON THE NET I Information about KYFC Channel 50 is available at this site on the World Wide Web: tw/kyfc.htm Club." The station hopes to announce sale soon, Metsker said. "Our biggest concern is that find the right buyer...someone who would air programs that would not conflict with our traditional Christian-Judeo family values." Dino Dinovitz, general manager of KMBC-TV, Channel 9, said: "It's really interesting that it's a five (TV) station market now, and about to become an eight-station market with Channel 29 KCWB, the new Warner Brothers affiliate we're going to operate; Channel 38 KMCI, the one KSHB will be opcrating; and now Channel 50 becoming a commercial station." Are those too many for a city this size? "The n marketplace will let us know that," Dinovitz said. Metsker said Youth For Christ will keep its headquarters in Westa wood and hopes to retain and : rediwe rect KYFC's 12 full-time employees into expanding the area youth ministry, among other things. It hopes to add an international youth ministry via the Internet and youth worker training conferences. "We're youth ministers, so TV has been a viable ministry," Metsker said, "but it was a means it's to an end, not the end itself."
