2 and any replies to these comments were due Nov 2 But on Sept 1 the already beleaguered granted extensions as fol lows: By VICTOR McELHENY Observer Staff Writer Federal proposals that would drop a third television channel Into Charlotte and take away the only standard television channel in Columbia are still waiting for comments from angrily buzzing broad casters The proposals come from the Federal Communications Commission boss of the na tion's airwaves The FCC said July 27 it wants to do two things: the use of ultra high frequency WU tele' vision channels 14 through 83 by creating "islands" communities where there would be UHF stations only Then on Tuesday the As sociation of Maximum Seri ice Telecasters which has been fighting both FCC proposals petitioned the FCC for a de lay until April 4 The association asked the FCC to spell out its engineer ing requirements to prevent the new "drop in" stations like the proposed Channel 6 for Charlotte from interfering with stations using the same chan nel within a critical distance That distance in the southeast is 190 miles In other words a television channel in this area can expect interference if another station broadcasts on the same channel from a point within 190 miles of its transmitter barna South Carolina Wis consin and Connecticut rural citizens would have to depend on outside television broadcasters for comment on their states' affairs The FCC got $2 million from Congress to underwrite an experimental UHF station in New York Any action on extending UHF service should await the outcome of the experiment (Some broadcast people note that New York City is a special case with the great interference offered by tne city's tall buildings The amount of interference offered to the higher UHF signals by hills of more open areas is not so well known) lose their single standard VHF Channel The cities besides Columbia are: Madison Wis Montgomery Ala Hartford Conn Champaign-Urbana Ill Erie Pa Rockford and Binghampton Major arguments a a in st this plan are: It would take away the only television service available to about 60000 rural homes scattered around the ei ht proposed UHF islands" UHF stations do not have the same range as VHF outlets In the four states whose capitals would lose their only VHF television outlet Ala There are four stations using channel 6 within 190 miles of Charlotte They are in Wilmington Augusta a Knoxville Tenn and Bluefield Va All of these stations can be expected to object to a channel 6 in Charlotte unless a way of preventing interference can be found Two such methods are spoken of: making the broadcast antennas directional and lowering the broadcast tower to cut the range of the station To meet potential objections from the four channel 6 stations nearby any Charlotte channel 6 apparently would have to restrict itself to a local audience something it could do at less expense on a UHF channel or Install directional equipment on its broadcast antennas The broadcasters say that the FCC's requirements to avoid mutual interference are "ambiguous" Other "drop-in" third channels are proposed for these cities: Knoxville Tenn BirminghamAla Jacksonville Ha Baton Rouge La Oklahoma City Okla Dayton Ohio and Johnstown Pa Apparently the interference problem exists for each of these communities But the outcry about "drop-in" channels is as nothing In this broadcasters have been Joined by congressmen including Reps John Riley and Robert Hemphill (I)-SC) and Goy Ernest Hollings or South Carolina Petitions against the UHF plan by many public officials
