FCC ACTIONS April 19 the Commission amended table of assignment by reserving for education¬ al use Ch. 10 (formerly commercial) in Augusta and Presque Island, Maine. Proceed¬ ings stemmed from petition of U. of Maine to reserve Ch. 10 as part of state-wide educational network. Bates College, now operating Ch. 10 commercially, intends to operate entirely as an educational station and consented to the reservation. The Commission has invited comments by May 19 concerning amending the table of assignment to add educational Ch. 2 0 to Athens, Ohio by deleting the commercial channel from Coshocton and substituting Ch. 71 therefor.
