Volume V Number 11 July 22, 19&k FCC MOVES ON UHF ALLOCATIONS By a Third Report and Order in Docket 14229, the Commission adopted UHF channel assignments for ten markets. Seven of the ten involve educational reservations. In Boston, Channel 44 * has been reserved; Channel 59 * transferred from Kannapolis, North Carolina, to Concord and reserved; Channel 25* substituted for Channel l6 at Ft. layers, Florida, and reserved; Huntsville, Alabama, shifted educational reservation from Channel 44 to Channel 25*; Idnville, North Carolina, assigned Channel l8* as an educational reservation; Tampa-St. Petersburg, Florida, Channel l6* assigned and reserved for educational use; Qraak-Okanogan, Washington, Channel 32* to replace Channel 35 as an educational reservation. This last modification requires replacement of Channels 49 and 65 * in Ellensburg with Channels 51 and 63 *. As part of the same decision, the Commissioners authorized a further study of the overall UHF allocation plan to be made by the Commission staff with the use of computer calculations. The new deadline for completion of a plan is the end of the year. In a letter to the NAEB calling attention to this action, FCC Chairman Henry wrote, "The substance of your views was presented to the Commission and was carefully weighed in arriving at our decision. The Commission also recognized that this was a last opportunity to assure itself that it was establishing a sound allocation framework for the development of educational and commercial UHF in the next decade, and that viewed in this light, spending several more months on several analyses was fully warranted...1 appreciate having the benefit of your views and I know I shall want to discuss these matters with you again when we are further along with our analyses."
