The companies originally filed competing applications.

The TV station will be designed to serve the central coast area from San Ardo on the south to Gilroy on the north, over the bay to Santa Cruz and along the Monterey peninsula. The alternate time-sharing plan was worked out between John Cohan and W. M.

Oates, operating heads of the Salinas Broadcasting corporation, and S. M. Aston and Kenyon Brown, operating heads of the Monterey Radio-Television company. Both groups had filed channel 8 when it was allocated to the Salinas-Monterey area. To Be on Networks In a joint statement today, the operators said: "The objectives of the meetings started in Los Angeles last October were to bring television servto the central coast counties the earliest possible date.

Terven, and the San Francisco Chronicle, which holds minority interest.

Principals of KMBY-TV are Bing Crosby, George Coleman, Mr. Brown and Mr. Aston. It was pointed out that because the transmitter building and tower already are erected, the instalof equipment will proceed rapidly. Priorities on were established several months ago.
