Abstract	This paper analyzes thirteen recommendations for media policy making in rural Alaska which were formulated as a product of a study of the educational television aspect of the ATS-6 (Applications Technology Satellite) project in 1974-75. The recommendations, which emphasize local media control, were based on information provided by village residents, consumer committee members, teachers, and program personnel. A brief description of the ESCD/AK (Educational Satellite Communication Demonstration/Alaska) project is provided, including a map of receiving sites and special features of the program such as interaction between program and viewer, capability of transmitting simultaneously in several languages with four different audio channels available, consumer committees, and local utilization aides. The bibliography contains sources of additional information relative to the ESCD/AK project as well as to related ATS-6 projects in Appalachia and the Rocky Mountains. (STS)
