KTNT GETS STAY ORDER
Sustaining the report of the Chief Examiner, the Commission on June 5 denied a renewal application to Station KTNT, owned and operated by Norman Baker at IJbiscatine , Iowa. The grounds for decision stated that Muscatine now receives good service; that a more equitable distribution of facilities results from the denial; that programs included personal and bitter attacks upon individuals; that inter¬ ests of listening public were subordinated to those of licensee; that obscene and indecent language was broadcast; that the public interest would not be served by renewing the application. Station KTNT has been operating on a temporary license. A stay order was obtained from the Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia Friday afternoon.
