'This is WJA-TV'
South Bend's newest television company will close its first season in April by going out of business.
The firm which operates WJA-TV is made up of teenagers in the Junior Achievement program, and they produce a lively, entertainling and youth-oriented show each Saturday afternoon from the studios of WNDU-TV, the Notre Dame Station.
The company, like all JA activities, operates only during the school year and disbands in the spring.
The Saturday Show, which is aired from 5 to 5:30 p.m., is entitled "Club 6 Teen." It's written and produced by the 21 members of the JA company with the aid of five adult advisers. The show offers a variety of talent, panel discussion, interviews, announcements and news.
