Commission and a Missoula group called Montanans for 'Quality Television (MQTV); Eagle Communications made its original overtures to Western Broadcasting last winter. However, MQTV filed an objection to the FCC following an extensive study of public documents by McCarthy Coyle of MQTV. The Missoula group argued that Eagle Communication had not demonstrated that it had a sufficient grasp of Missoula Issues and problems, and questioned the' Californians' ability to offer programming to meet the community's needs.
