FCC OPPOSES 5YEAR LICENSES, DODGES PRESS DECISION
The Federal Communications Commission has informed Congress that it is opposed to legislation proposing 5-year licenses for broadcasting stations and that the question of curbing newspaper ownership of radio stations is one for Congress to decide.
Anning S6 Prall, Chairman of the FCC, writing to the House Interstate and Foreign Commerce Committee, regarding the Anderson bill, said:
”The art of radio broadcasting is rapidly changing, . . It is conceivable that the adoption of this bill would tend to ’freeze’ existing conditions. * . It has been the experience of the Commission that changes in the allocation of frequencies may be expeditiously accomplished under shorter term licenses.”
In another report to the same Committee on the Wearin bill to separate newspaper and radio control, the Commission said:
”The determination of the necessity or desirability of amending the Communications Act to add a statement of policy along the lines of HR 3892 appears to rest within the discretion of Congress. "
