McEvoy put KPBM (AM) on air in Carlsbad, NM and once owned 1230 KSWS.It is possible that Barnett came into the picture to provide the large amounts of capital needed to start a TV station in the fifties.The first transmitter (and likely the first antenna, package deals were very common in the early days of television) was/were built by Standard Electronics.
