MID-FLORIDA TV was first granted a construction permit for the station in June, 1957, but the grant was later vacated by the U. S. court of appeal here. In 1964, following oral arguments, the FCC reaffirmed the permit grant to Mid-Florida TV, but this too was appealed to the federal courts.

And again, the grant was vacated. New hearings were ordered by the court and five firms applied for the franchise. The hearings began March 10, 1969 and closed Oct. 9, 1969. Directors Sidestep Bankruptcy By JACKIE VAN HOOSE Sentinel Staff DAYTONA BEACH The Florida International Festivals Inc.

Hearing examiner Herbert Sharf-man, in an initial decision announced by the FCC, said Mid-Florida TV, headed by Joseph L. Brechner, was "clearly" preferred over the other four applicants for the franchise, particularly because of its integration of ownership and management. A FMAN'S recommendation will be final unless one of the losing applicants files an appeal or the commission itself decides to review the initial decision. In his recommendation, Sharfman noted that day-to-day control of Mid-Florida TV would be in the hands of Brechner, as president and treasurer, and his wife, as vice president, who between them control 62 per cent of the firm's stock. Of all the applicants, Sharfman said, "Mid-Florida proposes to integrate stockholders on a full-time basis in the day to day operations of the station, through the Brechners, in a way which would best approach the quantitative ideal envisioned by the commission." THIS WOULD better enable them to translate community knowledge into station operation, Sharfman said.

As for community interest, Sharfman said, "Concern for (community) problems, imagination in devising relevant programs and operational flexibility to permit their presentation are traits enjoyed by Mid-Florida to no less degree than the other applicants." Orlando attorney Martin Segal, Mid-Florida Television secretary and local counsel, said Channel 9 "will continue to press forward its claim for a speedy review and final acceptance of the examiner's decision. "WE WILL continue to exert our influence as one participant in the present management of the interim operation to demand the best possible entertainment and public service programs for this area just as Mid-Florida Television Corp. tried to provide for 10 years previous to the present temporary interim operation which began April 1, 1969."
