MINNESOTA UNITES IN FIGHTING WNYC APPLICATION
The State of Minnesota, including its Congressional delegation, opened a fight this week before the Federal Communica¬ tions Commission against the application of Station WNYC, New York, for authority to operate at night on 810 kc. , which it now shares with WCCO, Minneapolis.
Protest against the application for extension filed by WNYC was presented at the opening of the FCC hearing by Alfred W. Bowen, special counsel representing J, A. A. Burnquist, attorney of Minnesota, and supported by Representatives Andre sen, Youngdahl Anderson and Knutson, all of Minnesota. The legislators attended the hearing.
Each Minnesota Representative entered an objection to "anything that will impair the efficiency of WCCO", Mr. Knutson reinforced his protest with a warning that "we will not take lying down" any decision favoring New York City at the expense of the area served by the Biinneapolis station.
"We have intervened as much for the benefit of remote listeners beyond the borders of our State as for the people of Minnesota", Mr. Bowen, speaking for Attorney General Burnquist, told R. H. Hyde, FCC Examiner. He said the station employed "the only clear channel in the entire area embracing the four States of Minnesota, Wisconsin, North Dakota and South Dakota. "
"Listeners in New York", he went on, now have a choice among some twentythree local radio stations, including three clear channels. Throughout the great area served by WCCO, many people can hear clearly only that station. It would seem in¬ equitable to add to this existing greater choice in New York by depriving millions of people in the area we represent of the only major station they can hear clearly.
