関西大学将来構想委員会から学長あてに答申された「教育の質の向上をはかる具体的方策について」の中に，CS放送を利用した放送事業について述べられている．今，わが国では放送の①通信との融合，②デジタル化，③多チャンネル化，④高機能化が進行中である．そうした状況のもとで，CSを伝送路とし，家庭のテレビ受像機を端末とした教育は，特に生涯教育．社会教育の対象となる中・高年齢者層にとっても有効な手段である．その場合の留意点，検討・解決すべき課題を述べ，さらに番組制作に関する具体的方策について述べる．一般に「放送」というと，NHK総合や各民放のようなエンターテインメントを中心にした1チャンネルのみの総合編成の放送を想起し，制作の専門家集団により金と手間のかかる番組制作方法と，その評価の一つとしての高い視聴率がとれる番組を想起することが多いが，そこで想定されるような莫大な経費をかけず，本学で内製できる体制をとることは，十分可能であり，その基本的考え方についても言及する．Broadcasting businesses that use "Abstract Communications Satellite" (CS) broadcasting are described in the "Detailed Policies to Improve Educational Quality", a proposal from the Kansai University Future Planning Committee to the school president. In Japan (1) blending of broadcasting with communications systems, (2) digitization of broadcasting, (3) multi-channelization of TV broadcasting, and (4)advancing to high-tech functions of broadcasting are progressing. In this background,education utilizing CS transmitting means and a home television set as the terminal is a particularly effective means for elderly people for their life-long education and social education.

When we say "broadcasting," we generally think of the comprehensive broadcasting of an independent channel that provides mainly entertainment programs, such as NHK\u27s general programs and those of commercial broadcasting companies. It also reminds us of program preparation that requires a great deal of money, time and labor of a group of specialists and programs that have high ratings as one of the evaluation methods. But, it is possible to prepare programs without spending such large sums of money by forming a program preparation organization within our university. The proposal describes the basic concept of the program preparation
