Nor will it affect the opera-tio of WJPG, the standard broadcasting service of the Press-Gazette. Ewing said that the acquisition of the Press-Gazette facilities and the use of equipment and facilities owned by WNAM-TV at Neenah will result in a considerable saving of time in getting Valley Telecasting's Channel 5 on the air. He said that WFRV-TV will serve an area of more than 75 miles in radius, using a high-powered transmitter and high gain antenna. He pointed out that the location of the tower is of particular interest to the owners of the 200,000 TV sets in the area to be served since 'it is adjacent to the tower of WBAY-TV on Channel 2, and receiving Channel able to view Chan will nlcr, Ko falslo irt Dist.
