The notice of proposed rule making by the would delete Channel 31 at Marion. by 'Geneco Broadcasting, licensee of action was taken on a petition WTAF-TV. at Marion. Geneco had asked to substitute Channel 17 for Channel 31 on which it now operating.

Geneco had contended in the FCC action that unless its signal strength in and close to Marion could be strengthened and its service area expanded it might be forced to suspend operation. Because of zoning restrictions in Marion, there was no way to improve transmitting facilities on Channel 31, the company said. A possible tower northwest of Marion would interfere with stations at Kokomo and South Bend, the FCC said. Channel 31 at Marion was described as "the lowest powered station" with the "most limited coverage" of any in the United States. It has no network affiliation.

All programs are local, and the station's income is from local advertisers, the FCC was told. In proposing to shift the Muncie channel to Marion, the FCC noted that there are no applications tor the Muncie outlet. Muncie will continue to have Channel 61 reserved for eventual assignment if requested. The commission had considered assigning Channel 17 to the Marion company, but ruled it out on the grounds it could have "a restric-. tive effect" on possible use of the same frequency band in the Chicago area.

The present office, located on the ground floor, is being panded to increase the floor space by about 550 square feet. The additional space is being taken from the Pub area of the hotel.
