FCC renews WESH TV license amid dispute with Central Florida
The FCC voted 4 to 1 to renew Cowles Broadcasting Inc.’s WESH TV Daytona Beach license for a three year term and dismiss Central Florida Enterprises’ bid to use channel 2. The decision hinges on Cowles’ substantial public service despite earlier issues including a studio move without authorization and a mail fraud campaign by magazine subsidiaries. The court challenge from 1978 prompted renewed review and signals the agency’s preference for established broadcasters with strong public service records.
