FEC Studying
Possible Shift

The Federal Communications
Commission today charted the
course Of United States televi-
sion toward possible exclusive
operation on the ultra high fire.
quency tUHFl channels, num-
bered IA through 83.
The shift could change the
face of telecasting a decade
hence.
A Commission announcement
that it will consider the POSSIBLE
ity of eventually putting all or
most Of TV on UEIF involved an
admission that mixing the newer
UfIF channels with older WIFI
channels, numbered 2 through
Is, in the same community
hasn't worked out as expected.
AS an immediate curative for
that. the commission committed
itself to a policy of "demixing'
such communities, in order to
equalize station competition and
give UE1F operators a chance to
survive where they have not been
surviving when confronted with
WIFI competitors.
Long Term Proposal
The proposed general shift to
UHF is a long-term proposal, in
volving at least a couple more
years of FEC consideration and,
if finally approved. minimum
of 10 years of transition in which
VfIF stations might be required
to telecast simultaneously on a
UHF channel, while the public
was changing over to UHF re-
celvers.
The commission said the
transition period would have to
be sufficiently long ito cover the
useful life of VHF-only re-
ceivers in the hands of the pub
lie" and permit Amortization
of WIFI transmitting equipment.
FEC suggested the shift could
be made on a Nationwide basis,
or by making States east of the
Mississippi River all-UHF. leav-
ing use of the wider-ranging
WIFI operation to the Vests big
open spaces.
Commercial television was
launched on WIFI in 1941. The
20 new UHF channels were not
created until 1862. The result:
OF 500 TV outlets now operating,
400 are WIFI; of 81 million TV
sets in the hands of the public
some 80 million can tune in WIFI
programs only.
UHF Operations Difficult
In the cities where the chan
nels we're intermixed. most UHF
operators have found the going
difficult. Many have closed
down.
Hence, FEC made public a
series of proposals for reshuffling
channel assignments designed to
make commercial television all

from the mound by New York

Brown alleged that he was mere
