The four sub-problems of this dissertation were 1) to determine the present administrative goals and patterns of existing diocesan television centers; 2) to identify specific areas where a coordinated administrative design could facilitate television operations; 3) to determine the nature and function of an agency that could support and coordinate inter-diocesan cooperation; and 4) to prepare an administrative design that would guide, rather than dictate, policy with regard to instructional television at the diocesan level. After surveying the goals and needs of the nine diocesan television systems in the United States, an administrative design is proposed to coordinate the two national-level agencies interested in television and Roman Catholic education. The design, based on system theory and a process of system linkage, should be applicable to any pair of systems with common goals who wish to coordinate their activities without losing any of their autonomy.
