U S defends disputed TV station licensing proposal
Washington The Nixon administration defends a plan to change how 600 legal TV stations renew licenses saying it would free stations from undue pressure while critics warn of censorship. Whitehead argues the proposal clarifies renewal rules, sets five year cycles, and uses two clear criteria: public needs and fairness doctrine compliance. He concedes fears but says the aim is empowering communities and accountability, not chilling local broadcasts.
