Control is correct. LIFE was originally put together in 1978, and operated on one of the subcarriers of KPBS-FM, using a specially modified receiver normally given to the blind for the then-broadcast 'books on tape' programs. As I recall, the County got a grant to move it to the paging system in '82.
