Odessa attorney targets mass media actions over licenses
Odessa attorney Richard Abalos told about 50 attendees at Severo's Old Mill Barbecue that in 1971 his group the Bilingual Cultural Coalition for Mass Media sued four Doubleday Broadcasting stations facing tri annual license renewals. He said the tactic aimed to pressure big owners by threatening renewals and cited the company as the largest broadcaster with many minority markets.

Lawmakers urged dedicated funding and possible emergency action, while officials warned inflation could erode future construction.
