The founder of KOCE left a legacy
William Furniss wanted his TV station to entertain, but first it had to inform.
By Robin Hinch
The Orange County RegisterWhen William "Bill" Furniss became the
founding president and general manager of
Orange County's only public television
station, KOCE, in 1970, he didn't have to
think twice about his mission.
Commercial television had too many soap
operas, too many game shows and too many
sitcoms. "There is better use of televisionthan sitting there like an eggplant watching
someone blow someone else away," he said.
His programming philosophy was
information, enlightenment and
entertainment. "I want entertainment last,"
he added.
Furniss, who retired in 1996, died of lupus at
age 66 on Nov. 19, a day shy of the 30th
anniversary of the station's first program.The Dallas Journal, 2008 96
