TELEVISION - Feb. 16, 1993

Atten-Shun!: If tracer missiles thrill you and Scuds make your heart thud, don’t touch that dial. In the planning stages is the Military Channel, which will bombard viewers with visions of war, 24 hours a day. Douglas Keeney, whose office is in Louisville, Ky., so far has raised about $1 million of the $6 million to $7 million it will take to make the Military Channel a reality. The money is being spent in film production and getting programs ready for a hopeful debut late this year. The Military Channel is one of a wave of such ventures trying to take advantage of new technology that will allow cable systems to carry 500 channels.
