WASHI^TOTOIT FREqUElTCISS IlJTSRCH/ilTGli:
The Rpplicgtion of Station irVI , Tacoiia , Washington, operated hy Puget Sound Broadc='sti ng Company, to change from a Limited Time station on 760 kc to a regional full time outlet on 570 kc with 500 watts night and 1 KW LS, w^s granted this week hy the Commission. In the same decision, the application of Station IvGVO, Missoula, Montana, to change from 1420 kc to the present ITVI assignment was denied, with the reauost of Station IIXA, Seattle, Washington, seeking a. renewal of license on the 760 kc Limited Time assignment. The Seattle station was changed by this decision from 570 kc to 760 kc. In interchanging the frequencies of the Seattle and Tacoma st°tions, the Commission said:
"There are eight stations now located in Seattle whereas there are but tv;o such stations situated in Tacoma. It therefore appears that the granting of the appli¬ cation for modification of license for Station ilVI so as to permit the operation of that station upon the 570 kc frequency with power of 500 watts and unlixmited hours, and the granting of the application for renewal of license of Station KXA so as to permit the operation of St'^tion KXA on the 760 kc frequency with power of 500 watts day and 250 watts night and limited time, would result in a m.ore equitable dis¬ tribution of broadcast facilities within the State of V/ashington, The granting of these applications so as to permit such operation would ^Iso result in a more equitable distribution of facilities among the sever®! states and zones ",
Conceding that Missoula does not receive a reliable broadcast service from out¬ side stations, the Commission found that the operators of Station ICG-VO do not appear to have sufficient financial resources to properly carry on the project proposed by its application for the regional assignment.
BANGOR STATION REASSIGNED
Finding that Station WaBI , Bangor, Maine, is not in the possession of the Licensee, the Pine Tree Broadcasting Corporation, the Commission this woek denied this station a renewal of license and assigned the facilities to the First Universalist Society of Bangor under an involuntary assignment with a specified schedule of operation. This decision sustained Examiner Walker (Report No. 335) who recommended both be denied. The Commission concluded the Pine Tree Corporation h®d made only limited use of the station. Since the evidence indicated that the First Universalist Society is in actual possession of the station, the Commission said that public interest, convenience, and necessity would be served by licensing the station in the name of that organization on the following schedule of specified hours: 6 a. m. to 9 a. m. j 12 m. to 3 p. m., ; 6 p. m. to 9 p, m. daily and in addition from 9 a, m, to 12 noon on Sunday.
