FCC to Restrict TV Applications
The Federal Communications Commission announced that from Oct. 15 it will stop processing mutually exclusive applications for new television stations. Hearings to decide approvals will be suspended due to examiner shortages and a backlog of 233 hearings. The commission said the move will not clear the existing backlog but aims to speed service by handling noncompetitive applications for a limited period.
