Report No. MM95-19           MASS MEDIA ACTION                March 3, 1995


           WARNER PUBLIC SCHOOLS GRANTED CP AND LICENSE FOR ITFS
                       CHANNELS G1-G4, AT WARNER, OK

     The Commission has conditionally granted the application of
Warner Public Schools for a construction permit (CP) an license
in the Instructional Television Fixed Service (ITFS) on Channels
G1-G4, in Warner, OK; and denied the competing applications of
Stuart Public Schools and East Central University (ECU) for ITFS
channels at McAlester and Henryetta, OK, respectively.

     In cases of mutually exclusive applications, where
applicants are competing for the same or adjacent channels in the
same geographic area, each application is reviewed pursuant to
the Commission's comparative process.  This procedure awards a
maximum of 12 merit points based on five criteria deemed most
relevant to predicting the applicant best qualified to provide
service for the ITFS spectrum was allocated.

     In this case, Warner received four points for being local,
three points for being accredited, two points for observing the
four-channel limitation, and one point for proposing at least 21
hours of formal educational programming per week, for a total of
10 points.  Stuart and ECU received four points for being local,
three points for being accredited, and two points for observing
the four-channel limitation, for a total of nine points each. 
Thus, the tentative selective is Warner.

     Warner proposed leasing its excess capacity for non-ITFS use
and submitted a copy of its lease agreement with RuralVision
Central, Inc., which conforms in all respects for FCC
requirements.

     Because no determination was made that the tower height of
two of the receive sites proposed by Warner would not constitute
a hazard to air navigation, its CP and license authorization was
granted conditionally.
