- 5 - of stations in Fort Worth and Dallas, Texas, in areas hundreds of miles from "both of these cities. The UAEB does not take the position that clear channel assignments, as such, are not in the public interest. They may be necessary in order to insure a satisfactory signal in some rural areas ™hich must depend largely upon dis¬ tant stations for radio service. DAE3, however, is of the conviction that the clear channel rule should be administered in accordance with the purpose^for which it was established — to insure adequate program service to rule audi¬ ences. Each clear channel should be examined to determine the extent to which duplicate nighttime operation would result in loss of existing service to pri¬ mary and secondary areas. The nature of the program service offered by the dominant station to those areas should be examined to determine the extent— if any — to which it serves the needs of the areas hundreds of miles away from the station and this should be compared to the availability of other signals and prog am sources available to the areas affected (R. 6019-6020). In fact, there have been no complaints of interference by the operation, under a special service authorization (R. 6110), of one of these daytime only stations at night. In determining the extent of interference from another station on the chan¬ nel, the interfering signal should be based on the present location of all 1TAEB stations now operating daytime or part-time only (R. 6028). This class of sta¬ tions, more than any other, is in need of additional hours of operation in order to present its unique type of program service, particularly to rural listeners. Insofar as it is feasible from an engineering standpoint, these stations should be permitted to meet the local and rural needs of their radio audiences at night just as they now do during the day (R, 6019). The program service offered by each particular WARS station on the channel should then be compared to the ef-
