TVS challenges, one could point out, are as
varied as they are plentiful For example. there's
WRC-4's Challenge, new local public affairs

schedules this week, against the CHS networks
returning The Great Challenge, a series Of SYM

But there are other kinds of Challenges, too.
There's the kind faced by Newton Minow. the
new chairman Of the Federal Communications
Commission. When he left the recent Senate
hearing on his appointment, where he heard
many expressions of dismay at TVS sum of
blood and thunder, he could have df he was un-

admirable start in solving the commissions
