ARMY TELEVISION SERVICE CHANNEL 5 IN THAI" AND "BANGKOK ARMY
TELEVISION SERVICE CHANNEL 7 IN THAI" RESPECTIVELY. WHEN
STATIONS COME ON AIR, THEY DISPLAY COLOR CHART WITH WORDS "ARMY
TELEVISION, CHANNEL 5/7" (IN ENGLISH). THE FACT THAT THESE
ARE MILITARY CHANNELS IS SUBSTANTIVELY STRATEGIC TO THE SELECTION
OF THE ITEM MILITARY COVERAGE IS BEING COMPARED WITH CIVILIAN
GOVERNMENT COVERAGE -- AND ARMY CONNECTION WILL HAVE TO BE MADE
IN PROSLUG IN EACH CASE IF NOT CLEARLY STATED IN SOURCELINE,
WHICH WE BELIEVE IS PREFERABLE. PRECEDENT IS AT HAND, AS RADIO
HAS ALREADY BEEN DIFFERENTIATED BETWEEN BANGKOK DOMESTIC
SERVICE AND BANGKOK 1ST ARMY DIVISION RADIO. 26/0052Z NOV
