- 22 - FEDERAL.COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION January 10, 1948 (Educational) February 2, 1948 -V ' NEV/S—APPLICATIONS—ACTIONS End of STA*s for AM Stations Proposed The Commission proposed to change its rules so as to abolish special temporary authorizations for standard broadcast stations, effective April 15, 1948. "STA’s" as they are known in brief, developed when AM stations were the only broadcast media and few daytime or limited time stations were in existence. Today the grow¬ ing number of authorizations for operation in off hours is having a detrimental effect on regular nighttime broadcast service in many areas. Some requests are so recurring as to constitute a series of broadcasts beyond the hours for which the stations are licensed. The Commission sees no further need for such STA’s in view of the opportunities for full-time FM operation, especially since many of the AM stations concerned have FM authorizations. "Diligent efforts toward the early establishment of FM service," says the Commission, "will more than adequately satisfy public needs" in this respect. The Commission proposes to change Section 1.324 of its rules accordingly. Written comments from persons who may be opposed will be received by the Commission on or before February 28.
