BECOMSKDS TUCSOIJ FULL TIKCE
The application of Station KVOA, Tucson, iirizona, requesting authority to in¬ crease operating time from a specified hour schedule to unlimited time V7ith pov/er of 500 watts on 1260 kc was recommended to he granted in part hy Examiner Yost this week in Report No. 364, The apolication requested authority to operate unlimited time with the present power of 500 watts. The recommendation of the Examiner would permit the full time operation hut the power of the station is reduced, in the same recommend f^ti on, to 250 watts.
The greater part of the evidence was presented in the form of depositions indicating there are times in Tucson when the community is without local broadcast reception, although there is another station located there in addition to the applicant station. The further recommendations conclude that the people within the service area of Station KVOA are not now receiving dependable full time radio broadcasting reception, and that the granting of this application would not create additional interference to an existing station.
FAVORS KMJ ON 580 KC
In Report No. 365, Examiner Hyde this week recommended the granting of the application of Station KMJ, Fresno, California, requesting authority to change fre¬ quency from 1210 kc to 580 kc and increase power from 100 to 500 x^atts. The station is licensed in the name of the James McClatchy Co. , and operates unlim.ited time.
Due to the distance from other sources of broadcast transmission, the Examdner found that Fresno and vicinity are not receiving consistent reliable service except that rendered by the applicant station with its present power of 100 watts. Accord¬ ing to the Commission engineer, testifying in the case, the granting of the in¬ creased power would permit the station to increase the present satisfactory service area to a radius of 30 to 40 m.iles. The recommendations of the Examiner conclude the applicant is well qualified to construct and oper^^te the proposed station, »nd further that the use of this frequency in Fresno would not create additional inter¬ ference with existing stations. The granting of the application, according to the Report, would increase the California quota 0.4 unit. The State is due 36.86 units; and is assigned 36,44 units.
